Collins began to reach his best

him that while he was pitching
rather ordinary baseball for a big
Lacquer, in 1911, he complained that
he was not permitted to work as he
pleased. John l. Taylor, then pres
ident and owner of the Red Sox,
called in Collins on July 4, 1911,
and talked that over with him.
After he heard what Collins had to
say, he remarked:

EIn COLLINS hasn't
thing, yet he is one of
the best pitchers in the
American league-one of the two
or three best left handed pitchers
in the business" said Clark Crit
nth, manager of the Washington
team. the other day
This was an accurate, and, when
YOU come to think of it, remark
able tribute to the man who will
probably be Joe Woods right hand
or, better, left handed-twirler
in the coming series for the worlds
championship
The fact is that Collins, who is
second best of the SoX pitchers,
has nothing" that pitchers are
usually gagged by-that is, he has
no sharp or intricate and puzzlng
curve ball. no great speed, no re-
markable change of pace and no
particularly bothersome slow ball.
Yet, next to Wood, Collins is the
most successful pitcher in the Red
SoX camp.
What is the answer?
Control.
Has Remarkable Control.
Collins is better master of
where his delivery goes than any
other man on the Red Sox staff
better than most other pitchers on
any team, and he has better CON
troll than any other left handler in
the game.
He has won Is of - games he has
