COLLINS CONSIDERS
OFFER FROM GR|FF
vanderbiIt's Crack Pitcher Has
Chances to Join Climbers
and Athletics.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Feb. 27.-Wilson
Collins, the crack pitcher of the Van
derbilt University nine, is considering
handsome offers from Manager Griffith.
of Washington, and Manager Mack, of
Philadelphia. He is expected to give
a decision within day or so. He has
another year to play at Vanderbilt, and
Coach McGugfn is using his utmost ef-
forts to keep his star pitcher in college.
Collins is the best college pitcher in
the South. While possessing a good
curve ball, his control is what really
wins for him. AS a base runner he
compares favorably with professional
players. He plays halfback on the foot
ball eleven, being one Of the best rum
ming backs in the country.
The Philadelphia club will play three
exhibition games here this spring, and
Collins will have a heart-to-heart talk
with Connie Mack.
