THE GREAT LOSS OF COLLINS

dent to Collins should check the work. A
setback now may possibly spoil their
pennant chances. But Manager Mack
has been dealt Just as severe blows in the
past and has'recovered, and 1t may be ex-
pected that he Will devise some way TO
minimize the effects of Collins absence
from the team. It would seem that he
could put Davis back on first base and
play McInnis at second until Collins Is
able TO get back into harness. McInnis
is a natural infelder, his regular position
being shortstop, and it would not mate
rally weaken the team to play him at
second. 1t is not likely that Derrick will
prove altogether satisfactory, mainly be-
cause OF inexperience.
However, Manager Mack can be de-
pended upon to do the right thing. and
the Athletics may be expected to keep
right after the leaders. The hroken-up
infleld is not giving the Athletics man
ager half as much worriment as the err
ratio work of his pitchers. Both Nor
gan and Coombs have Of late shown
such streaky form that 1t has been nee
essary to Jack them out OF a game and

The loss of Eddie Collins to the PhiIa-
deIphia Athletics cannot be underesti-
mated. Mack can I'll afford to lose his
star second baseman, even though II be
inffeld will have to be Juggled before the
right combination can be found, and Col
Inns aggressive hitting and base running
will be a dead loss.
An X-ray was taken of Collins arm
after he collided with Murphy, going after
a fly ball at Washington on Saturday.
The picture shows that there were no
bones broken and that some ligaments
were merely torn that should yield to
treatment and Collins should be able to
get back into the game inside OF two
weeks. That the Injury was not more
serious is attributed to the fact that
Collins received the care of a surgeon
on the field, who pulled the dislocated
bone back into place. Collins will rest
up at his Lansdowne home and will be
under the constant care of his physician
until the injured member entirely heals,
though Manager MACK does not expect
him to get into harness again until the
Manager Mack has not yet settled upon
the makeup of his infield until Collins

Connie is greatly impressed with Emer-

does not seem to be any room for him
Just at the present time, unless possibly
he may move Danny Murphy back to
second base temporarily and put his new
collegian in right field. This latter is
hardly likely. as It would break up the
outfield and not add a whit Of fielding

1t is a crucial period for the Athletics
in the race. For weeks the team ha9
