Manager Jimmy Collins, of Provi-
dence, the grand old man." regarded
as the greatest third baseman that ever
donned a uniform, Is displaying rare
form these days, and his work at his
old position and with the willow is
making big league managers scratch
their heads.
He is displaying ability as a man
ager in the bargain, and the Grays are
keeping well up in the race. James.
who was the "big noise" in Boston the
only time they ever had a team there,
is one of the most popular men playing
the game today. Collins is an umpire's
friend. and a well-known indicator tells
this story about him:
Some years ago, when clubs in the
American League were going bad, the
managers made a practise of going to
Ban Johnson to blame it on the Jumps
One day Collins walked into the big
fellows Office and his team happened
to be going bad. The conversation
lasted some time, but Collins never
WINGED, and Johnson was expecting
him to. Ban finally asked: James,
were the umpires against your
mo, sir; they did their work well.
If my pitchers and players did theirs
half as we'll we would have won most
of the games"
Johnson was elated, and from hat
time on Collins was the real thing
wherever he went.
To this day Collins is game, but sell
dom kicks.
In yesterdays game Boyle called a
strike on him down at his shoe laces,
out he smiled and took a crack at the
next one.
Collins and McGinnity are great
friends, and no matter which wins the
pennant their friendship will remain
unchanged.

the Tigers, n the Grays lost, Z to l.
On the other hand, Wyatt Lee was as
cool as a block of ice after the first in

The Tigers sure had their batting
toys on Inc pounded the ball all over
the lot. A pair of triples, a double and
eight singles formed the total number
of swats made during the afternoon.
After the Grays broke the ice in the
first round, due to singles by Phelah
and Atz and a double by Elston, the
Tigers set to work and tied the score
before they were retired in their part
of the session. A free pass to Louden,
Meyers sacrifice, a passed ball and a
foolish peg to third by Peterson sent
Bill around the circuit.
Joe Agler swung his bat with good
effect in the second and cracked outsa
single. Hearne walked and both adj
vanced a peg nearer the plate when
Lee went out. Atz to first.
Piedmont Bill" or Mr.. Londen, took
a swing at one in the groove. 1t trav-

Captain Schlahy was on the job in
the third. He singled and went to sec
ond when Kelly was retired on an i'm
field %grounder. Gettman was robbed of
a home run by Lefty Phelan, who
made a great catch against the bleacher
fence. Schlaf1y made third on the out.
Eddie Zimmerman saw that 1t was up
to him, and he made good by lacing
one to left for a sack, scoring his cap

the corner of the lot in left for Kel's
smash. Gettman figured that two hits

age of 500 for the day, and he banged
the round thing for his second hit.
Jimmy did more than that. He nearly
tore the cover off it when he tripled TO
deep right, scoring both his pals.
Hughey Hearne kept up the merry
slaughter by cracking to left for two
bases, scoring Jimmy. Lee had some

masterpiece.

Conley's jaw with a murderous right

WASHINGTON d. c.. Dec. 10
Senator Martin and Senator swanson.
of Virginia. have taken up vigorously
the question of the adequate fortifica-
ton of the Chesapeake Bay.
They called Wednesday upon the
chief of artillery at the War Depart
ment and also upon the chief army en-
gtneer and went over the War De-
ptsrtment plans and estimates. Upon
returning to the Capitol they conferred
with Senator John Walter Smith. Of
Maryland. about the project.
Senator smith ID cooperating with
the Virginia senator's in this matter
He regards the adequate fertilization
of the Chesapeake Bay as a more vital
matter for Baltimore even than 1t Is
for Norfolk and Virginia. He points
out that the proper guarding of the
capes protects not only Baltimore. but
the many small towns In the Maryland
tidewater counties near the bay or Its
tributaries
Senator Martin has been at work on
the project for some time and now has
strong hopes that the efforts he has
made will bear fruit in sufficient APP
preparation TO afford the needed pro-

tative plans prepared by the War De-

Senator Martin and are approved by
him. They include the acquiring Of
land at Cape Henry sufficient to estab-
fish n strong modern battery and the
creation of an artificial island between
the two channels. upon which would be
established another batter or fort.
These TWO fortitications would be suHi-
cient to prevent the passage between
Cape Henry and Cape Charles of any

adequate protection for the whole bay.
The artificial island would be similar
to the one at Hampton Roads and is
