Collins of the Boston Braves is by far
the fastest man in base ball. 1t is said
that Collins and Cobb met in hundred
yard dash in the fall of 1912 and Collins
was leading by at least ten yards when
the finish was reached. Good judges
claim that Collins is faster than Lobert
of the PhillieS, who holds several sprint
ing records. Collins is said to have a
record of peeling off a hundred yards in

TOGET RUSSELL FORD
Secretary Stephens Of Cincinnati
Club to Limit Players in
Number of Drinks.
BY j. ED. GRILLO.

| The New York Giants will not be seen
on the local grounds in an exhibition
game next spring. Word was received
by Manager Griffith this morning that the
games scheduled to be played here on
April 8 and would have to be Cancelled,
as AIctfraw's team has contracted to re-
| main in New Orleans until April 10 and
then will go direct to New York TO open
! the season.
The cancellation of these games was
brought about by the announcement that
| the season would open April Ia. Lots Of
| exhibition games had been scheduled by
most of the major league clubs on the
! presumption that they would have to
| break training camps and come north for
| the earlier opening-about April TO- When
| the change was announced their plans
We're altered, in order that they might
stay longer in the warmer climate The
change will probably delay the breaking
of all the training camps several days.
Griffith is much disappointed at the
| calling off of the Giants games. Nc
Graw's team has proven big drawing
card here for the past two springs, and
its absence next April will have some
effect on the exhibition game receipts.
Cleveland is still trying to arrange a
deal with New York which will give the
Maps Russell Ford. According IL Presi-
dent Somers, Frank Farrell wanted OIL
sen and pitcher for Ford. This propo-
sition was turned down. Just why the
Cleveland club is SO anxious to obtain a
pitcher who apparently is about through
in the major league is hard to under
stand, and the New York club should no.
hesitate to make a trade, regardless OF
what 1t gets in return TOR Ford.
Harry Stephens. the secretary of the
Cincinnati club, is going to inaugurate
some new rules for his ball team which
are calculated to keep the players in
good condition. Stephens has it all fig
ured out nicely. One glass of beer after
a game will be tolerated.; two glasses
after d particularly hard afternoon. But
after that the waiter is not to be bur
dened with any further orders for the
amber fluid. player violating the rule
will receive a warning for the first Of
Tense; for the second the punishment is
to be decapitation, to employ word of
his own use. 1t will be well for Man
ager Herzog to whisper into Stephens
ear before the season opens and have
him stay as far away from the men as
possible. Nothing hinders a manager
more than outside interference, and Ste
phens should be put wise TO remain at
his desk.
