In Larned, admittedly the greatest

games they will surely miss their
star who Is likely to be out OF II for q
good, long while. despite the confident
predictions that he will be back again
In week.
Derrick Is no Collins and the result
of the substitutes presence is bound
to be felt. Furthermore, Collins dis
located shoulder is an injury which
Is likely TO destroy a lot of his conf
dence when he does return TO the
play.
Shoulders are bad things to dislo-
cate and the worst OF such an injury
is the inevitable fear of its victim
that the injury will recur. Collins
has had trouble with this shoulder
before. II the dislocation approaches

Last year baseball experts argued
themselves black In the face over
the relative merits of Cobb and Col
Inns. This year the Tigers has been
so UNNECESSARILY superior that less
talk OF that sort has been heard. Every
now and then, though, somebody hobs
up who insists that Collins has one
big advantage over Tyrus. in the fact
that he helps his club more, through
