EDDIE COLLINS SCORED
BY CAPT. IRA THOMAS
Charges He Tipped Off Mack's
Methods in His Base
Ball Articles.

PHILADELPHIA, December 4.-Evi-
dence Of friction in the Athletics camp
was seen in an interview printed In
the Los Angeles Examiner, credited to
Capt. Ira Thomas of the dethroned
champions of the world.
If Thomas is correctly quoted. he in
Inmates that Eddie Collins, the teams
brilliant second-sacker, has impaired
the success of the Athletics by reveal
ing the methods of the club in his
newspaper and magazine articles,
The interview is as follows:
I'm writing his articles Collins has
tipped off many things that he should
have kept to himself. He did not give
away our signs OF tell so much about
he did something that was just as bad
Had Been Grabbing Signs.
For years our players have been
grabbing the signs Of other clubs, the
peculiarities of the different players
and their weaknesses. Very little of
this was gathered by Collins. and nat
urally. along with the rest of the play
ers. everything was told him
Eddie used this information in his
articles, telling just how we knew
what was coming from a certain pitch
er because he always did peculiar
wind-up when he was going to throw
a curve ball. Naturally, the rival
players heard about this and started
to remedy their defects. Certain signs
that had been used a long time by
other clubs were changed.
With the information we had at our
disposal we would have been able to
win pennants for the next six years.
But all this was changed because Col
Inns wanted to grab all the money in
sight and thus spoiled the work of sew
eral years by a few of us. The other
clubs now watch us keenly and we
won't have the big edge over visiting
teams in future"
Goodbye for One.
II the interview with Thomas is cor
rect. it means that either he or Collins
will leave the team. for Thomas would
scarcely authorize such an interview
unless he had some advance Informs
ton. It has been printed repeatedly
since the close Of the season that
either Thomas or Collins would man
age the New York Americans next sea-
son and the interview in Los Angeles
would seem to confirm 1t.
Collins Is under long-term contract
with tho Athletics. having signed with
Manager Mack last August, after tg-
noring an offer from the Wards of
Brooklyn. Reports that he intended
to trade or sell Collins have been en-
phatically denied by the manager.
Manager Mack last night said this
was an old story and declined to dis
cuss it. while Collins could not be
reached.

Rumor that the Elmira New York
pennant. is for sale is confirmed by
the secretary of the club. Mortimer
Sullivan. The illness Of President Lee
Breese and Mr.. Sullivan's other bust
ness interests are given as the reason
for placing the club on the market. The
franchise probably will be purchased
by Elmirans. Wild Conroy. the former
