/ In Connie Mack's estimation, Eddie
Collins is worth four times as much as
Joe Tinker, about whom such a great
boiler is being made. He cites figures
and facts to- prove it. In the IL years
| Tinker has been in the big league base
ball he has folded for 1882 and his bat
ting average was but .264. Collins,
since he broke into the big leagues six
years ago, has batted for an average of
1888, falling below the 800 class but
once. His average in the field has been
.953. In the field mis- average is 81 points
better and at the bat SO points better.
Collins is faster on the bases and is just
as brainy as Tinker. To clinch his argu-
ment, Mack says that Collins has age
in his favor. Collins is but 27 years
old and has the best years ahead Of
him, while the general opinion is that
Tinker is good for only two or three
years more.
