EDDIE COLLINS A NOISY CHAP.
Athletics Star Keeps Up Running
Fire of Jawing During Game.

PHILADELPHIA. Pa. January 1S.-
Few of the fans outside of Philadelphia
know that Eddie Collins is not only an
Evers in second basing. but in jawing and
yeping at the other performers. The i'm
preston seems to prevail that Collins is
a brilliant ball player. but silent one.
Far be it from such. Eddie is one of the
noisest ball players that there is. His
face always is open and some Of these
days he will inhale a grounder il he isn't
careful.
Get a Wiggle there. For the love of
Mike, do you think you're playing check
ers? Aw, say. if I. had a four-year- old
baby and he couldn't stop that one I'd
disown him. What. Call that baserun-
ming: You look like goat tied to a
post, Say. look at him now: didn't Slide
and caught standing up! Hate to soil
tia. nice white uniform, huh? G'wan.
now. tell it to Sweeney. YOU big ivory
head"
Thus doth Mr.. Collins keep things
stirred up vocally throughout a game.
and the effect upon the Athletics Is the
same as is produced by John Eyers dia-
tribes when he upbraids the Cubs. And
maybe the Cubs didn't miss that flow of
language in the big series. Zimmerman
Is no hoWler. He went two weeks once
without saying anything except: please
pass the salt" and what good is that sort
OF oratory Tor a worlds championship?

all items that were paid for out of the
10 per cent fund of the league. The ex-
pense of running the American League
next year will reach $4,000, or about
SO, 500 for each club. Thirty-five thou
sand dollars of this money viii be used
in furnishing the umpires for the games.
Three-quarters of a million dollars
must be taken in before the 10 per cent
fund will cover the expense of running
this great organization AS this fund
comes out Of the 10 per cent fund divi-
sion of the gate money alone. and what
is left over after paying all expenses OF
running the league is divided equally
among the eight clubs, it will be appre-
ciated that all clubs do not pay the same
amount for the support of the league.
The club doing a big business can bet
ter afford to pay than the club doing q
poor business, and this little brother act
has proven a big thing in base ball and
should be adopted In all or the MINOR
leagues as well as the major leagues
The surplus left over is often held IN the
against other base ball organizations ano q
at times support a weak sister until tne
club can get on her feet once more.
Star Nine Necessary.
A great base ball plant without good
ball team is like fine theater withou'
high-class actors. People will soon tire
of the big steel structures unless the boy
out on the diamond deliver the goods
The fans only enjoy ball games played
on roomy fields, and the saddest sigh'
i'm the world is small crowd In big
pavilion witnessing the struggles OF sec
ond-class ball teams.
The days of local rivalry have passed.
The fans are clever critics. they pay the
same price for good and poor ball alike,
and the magnates being aware that q
we'll drilled team Of hustlers Will enthuse
the people there is tendency to change
PLAYERS until the stars alone, Well KNOWN
10 the general base ball public, are Sc
cured.
Under O series of handicaps the game
has grown Forty years ago there were
lust ten professional ball players in Amer
lea, the Cincinnati Reds. Thirty years
ago there were not over 100 pro1essional
PLAYERS There were not over 400 men
drawing salaries for playing base pail
twenty wears ago, while today there are
over 10000 young men controlled py Or
ganized base bau.
With this wonderful growth it voold
seem that the magnatcS could ma Sto !
i'm every section of the country. and yet
we find the veteran holding his own, espe-
cially in the winning clubs, and the teams
controlled on the field by a small erlny
of veterans, who seem to have something
on the Young fellows breaking into the
game in the way of developing inside
work and profItinG by the experience oi
the players who introduced nearly every
feature Of the game as played at the
present time.

PERTINENT COMMENT ON
HAPPENINGS In SP0RTD0M

responding in an effort to convince his
players that they are getting all they are
entitled to-a natural condition. to De
sure, but one which many manager
side-stepS.
While all managers are consulted as to
the amount each player should receive,
most of them like to have the actual
negotiations with the players carried on
by some other official of the club rather
than do it themselves. The manager usu-
ally figures that he stands better with his
men IL they can appeal to him when the
terms are unsatisfactory and he can act
club than be placed in the position of
fixing the salaries himself.
McAleer, however, wants to shoulder
this burden himself He believes that 1t
will put him in closer touch with his
players and prove more satisfactory in
every respect. Whether this will be the
case or not will be proven during the
season, for while there are decidedly few
instances on record where players remain
idle simply because they cannot get what
they want, it is a fact that no team has
ever been successful with lot Of dis
satisfied men nit.
Packey McFarland's victory over Jack
Goodman in New York Tuesday night
proves concluxively that the Chicago
lightweight has. to say the least, not
gone back. In fact. the scoring of a
knockout by Mcfarland is encouraging.
for he has always been credited with lack
ing the punch. 1t would not be at all
surprising If Mcfarland, in due time,
proved the best. man in his class. He
should not overlook the chance to take
on some Of the other aspirants to the
championship. and make an effort to drag
Wolgast out of his hole.
Old, experienced catchers are still in
great demand, even though they are not
asked to take part in a game. Hal Chase,
for instance. will have Duke Farrell to
look after his Young pitchers. while Nc
Graw is decidedly anxious to get Wilbert
Robinson back with his team. at least
during the spring practice. That those
veterans who know the fine points of the
game are of great value to educate young
pitchers there is not the slightest doubt
Pitching is no longer a matter of speed
and curves, in most instances. but knowl-
edge of how to use them. 1t is this which
the old catchers try, and do, teach the

CHAMPION AND TAILENDERS
IN QUEST OF STAR RECRUITS
Not One Club in Organized Base Ball Fully
Satisfied to Let Well Enough Alone and
Depend on Men Under Contract.

What Will the Harvest Be?' Just now
This is the hymn most expressive or the
base ball magnates' earthly ambitions
Gathering the choice seed from the four
quarters of this immense country to SOW
on prepared ground with the hope OF
bringing forth choice fruit, is now the
interesting work OF the man financially
tied up to base ball.
The WORK is most interesting. as the
fairest flower will often burst forth from
famished seed, as the young ball play
er from the bush will show real form
even before taking a lesson from the
veteran Of the game.
There is not one club in organized base
ball fully satisfied to let well enough
alone, and depend on the men now under
contract. Even the worlds champions
of Philadelphia are today securing the
country for young talent, knowing the
great player is rare, and anxious to be
prepared for emergencies.
All After Recruits.
The leading clubs are working to
strengthen, while the clubs we'll down in
the race know their only hope Of climb
ing is by way of the younger great. The
peculiar feature OF base ball Is the fact
that players who finish the season with
a winner seldom look for increase of
salary while the members of q tail-end
team will have no scrupleS about holding
out for large salaries, with the assurance
of players who have accomplished much
on the field.
Win or lose, the player is the one man
safe from disaster until the history of
base ball will show that less than one
dozen men have made good money out of
the business as hackers Of the game for
more than five years.
Conditions are improving along these
lines, however, and the men who invest
millions in the game stand chance i'll
the near future of receiving a fair return
on the investment. Every fan feels deep
down in his heart that he could run
base ball club successfully, and this is
absolutely the reason why so many busi-
ness men are breaking into the game
First, because they love the game: sec
ondly, they have little knowledge OF the
great task ahead, and, thirdly, because
they can raise the money to break into
the business. Only six OF tine MAJOR
league magnates were in the business
ten years ago. and but four OF those can
show a profit out of the Game-viz.. Ben
Shibe of Philadelphia. John T. Brush OF
New York. Barney Dreyfuss of Pitts
burg and Charley Comiskey OF Chlcaso.
Heavy Expense in Game.

League perhaps 10000 to run the organi-
zation, including umpires, expenses ana

BrookIand Five Showed Under
During Last Twenty
Minutes of Play.

The Georgetown five played in good
form at the Arcade last night. and ad-
ninistered "a to 10 defeat to the Cath
olic University goal tosssrs. The game
was not the real walk-over that the score
would indicate, and at times was closely
contested.
When the game started it looked as
though it would be rather close. as neith-
er team scored during the first five min-
utes of play. The whole first half looked
an the way like a real basket ball game
with both quints playing hard and fast.
The score for the period ended % to 10
in favor OF the Hilltoppers.
When the game was resumed after the
intermission it was plain that the fast
pace set during the first twenty minutes
rad told on the Brooklandites. and they
were decidedly Outplayed. goals coming
rapidly one after another, until the final
sound of the whistle found the Blue and
GRAY bunch with 81 points to it's credit.
Catholic University only scored 4 points
during the entire second half and they
were from fouls.
The whole Georgetown team played well
together and exhibited some classy work
at times, and that the Blue and Gray
five is much better than was at nrst
thought. after the two defeats by Column
bia and ST. Johns of Brooklyn, is now
assured. The passing was bad at times,
but that is fault that will be easily
remedied by a little more practice.
Monarch. Martin and Schlosser PLAYED
the best game for the Hilltoppers. Schlos-
ser especially showing splendid form.
The Blue and Gray captain scored twen-
ty-Ax OF his teams points Heiskeli,
Waldron and BarriscellO also did good
work.
Catholic University showed better
team than It was expected to by those
who were familiar with the conditions at
the Brookland school. During the first
twenty minutes OF play before the su-
perior condition of the Blue and Gray
squad began TO tell it gave it's opponents
their hands full. 1t is practically be-
ginning for the Brooklandites and they
deserve lots of credit for their showing.
That they We're beaten SO decisiVely Is
simply owing to the fact that they played
a team out Of their class entirely. Place
them against Gallaudet. Maryland Aggies.
or any of the quints in their class and
they will more than hold their own.

It has been arranged that Jack Johnson
will meet Sam Langford in Philadelphia
within six weeks. No match that has
been made in recent months will attract
as much attention as this clash between
the two foremost colored fighters. While
it may prove but little, for the route is
too short to bring about a decisive VIC
tory for either, it. may give line on how
good chance Langford would have In

II required the threatened ousting OF
Bob Hedges from the American League 70
make him realize that 1t Is the duty OF
every club owner to enter the competition
for playing material. Up to the time
that the kid-glove syndicate failed to
make good its second payment, thus re-
linouishing its hold on the st. Louis club,
Hedges had made little or no effort to
better the condition of his team. lie
seemed satisfied to stand pat with the
tailend aggregation on which the public
Of his city had soured rather than take
chance on making trade or going
down in his jeans and digging UP the for
tune he had made out of the game.
Had Hedges been alive to the situation
he could have made quite a number OF
advantageous deals last summer, but his
demands were so exorbitant that he can
not possibly have been sincere in his ef-
forts to strengthen his team.
But since he saved his holdings in base
ball by an eyelash he has suddenly de-
veloped decidedly energetic spell and
wants TO trade all his players but six.
But few Of these Hedges offers will re-
with his team. These players have not
deteriorated since the season closed. They
We're no better last spring than they are
today and should have been shifted at
that time There is Of course but little
chance for Hedges to improve his team
for next season, for young blood cannot
be added, and the few trades he stands a
chance Of making won't help matters
much.
That Bobby Wallace i.s going TO be a
mere figurehead is shown by the fact
that Hedges notified the other seven clubs
of the men he intended to retain before
Wallace was appointed to manage the
Browns. SO that he will virtually have
little to say how the team shall be made
up.

GRASS BANKS FOR PANAMA.

BY the time the Panama canal is
opened the ships May sail through ter
raced green lawns instead of the bare
yellow earth slopes now i'm evidence,
says Peru Today. The reason is not
altogether an aesthetic one.
1t is believed that seeding the slop-
ing sides of the canal through the cuts
with strong grass may prevent the
slides now SO frequent. and will re-
duce the wearing down by the tropical
rains. II. Pittier, an expert botanist
from the Smithsonian institution, has
charge of an attempt TO test this theo-
~, for which purpose the agricultural
department at Washington has sent
down several thousand pounds Of grass
seed.
Even though it be impossible TO pre-
vent entirely the occasional big slides.
II seems almost certain that this mea-
sure will result in a great saving by
holding the ground from starting ex-
cept under great pressure, and by re-
ducing the erosion which brings down
tremendous amount of earth in the
course of the year.
