An interesting comparison of the
two great second basemen, Larry

Collins, of the Athletics, was re-
Gently made by Hugh S. Fullerton
who is one of the best baseball crit
les before the public 1t follows:
Second base is the keystone of
any infield unless the shortstop pre-
sumes to take the duties of the sec
ond- sacker into his own hands, and
make his position the more import
ant. And at no place on the two
teams that contested for the worlds
championship are they so closely
matched. The choice of the great
majority of fans, experts and play
ers, would be Eddie Collins, the star
of the last worlds series One is
compelled to give Collins a shade
the better of the argument no mat
ter how much one may admire the
work, the hustle and the fighting
ability of Larry Doyle.
Personally | consider Collins a
greater ball player in every depart
ment of the game than Doyle-but
this is considering them mechani-
cally - and that is merely a super
fetal way to Judge players. A play
er, of course, must have mechani
cal ability, but it takes more than
that to make a ball player really
great. They both have that myster-
ious force that makes for victory,

Eddie Collins is faster than Doyle,
he is superior in hitting, even al
lowing for the difference in the
balls used during the greater part
of the season in the two leagues.
He is a faster fielder, and he works
better with his short stop. That
would seem to argue that Collins is
