DEVELOP INTO STARS

There are eleven college graduates on
the Athletics roster at the present time
q greater number by far OF this type of
athlete than decorates the lineup Of any
other big league ball club. The college
players are:
second Baseman Eddie Collins, Column
bia: Shortstop Jack Barry. Holy Cross;
Outfielder Eddie Murphy. Villanova, and
Jimmy Walsh, Niagara University; Pitch
ers EdEard Plank, Gettysburg: Charles
Edward Bender, Carlisle; Lloyd Davies.
Amherst Agricultural: ]. Weldon wyck-
on, Bucknell; Jack Coombs, Colby;
Catcher Dean ID. Sturgis. Bucknell; Util-
ity J. A. Thompson. University OF North
Carolina.
1t long has been Connie Mack's theory
that a good college player will develop
into a brainier, better big league player
than the sand-lot variety OF ball player.
And Comics scouts, instead OF touring
the country, watching the minor leaguers
In action, devote most Of their time to
watching the college boys in their games-
Connie saw Jack Barry in action while
Barry was shortstopping for the Holy
Cross team, and shortly afterward In
duced Barry to sign a contract. Barry
didn't cost Connie a dollar in purchase
money. Neither did Eddie Collins, re-
garded as the greatest baseball find iE
ten years.
Collins was the star Of the 1sOs Colum-
bia College baseball team. Later in the
summer he sought out Clark Griffth and
wanted Job. Grin couldn't see him as
a player Collins then asked Connie
Mack for a trial. He got it-under ths
name of Sullivan. Collins didn't make
a great showing at the start, but Connie
Mack saw In him great promise.
II 50 happened that when Collins was
with the Mackmen during the first year
one Of the Chicago photographers took n
picture Of him The picture was printed
and in due course Of time found its way
into Columbia College. Some one there
recognized Sullivan as Collins and right
there Collins amateur career ended. He
finished his course at Columbia in the
fall OF 1906 and 1901, joining the Mack
men in the spring Of 1907. After switch
ing him around a bit, Connie finally dis
covered that Collins was q natural sec
ond baseman. And that's where Collins
has played since.

On past performances. Welsh should
win tonight's bout. but this year appears
| 10 be one Of many upsets. and Wolgast
may be able to make good his threat.
The average fight fan is inclined to
regard welsh as q light tapping boxer

pect him of packing wallop Of suf-
lffcIent force 10 knock a hat on an op-

when wolgast was meeting all COM

on him. he established a wonderful re-
cora for Q boxer. but comparing VOL

Tomatoes for Allied Armies.

If the big war in Europe last long
enough the time may come when the
soldiers of the allied armies will feed
in their trenches upon luscious can
ned tomatoes grown in Maryland.
Just at present the average Faro
pean, be he Belgian, British or French,
does not look upon the big red juicy
tomato as a standard article of diet
About the only kind of tomato known
is a small grape-like variety, grown
in Italy and Spain, and used only as
salad. However, the tomato pack
ers of the country, and particularly
the Gamers of Baltimore, where most
of the tomato pack is made, hope to
change all this and are planning to
introduce the canned tomato to the
commissary of the allied armies.
Almost Unknown.
Efforts have been made before TO
introduce canned vegetables abroad,
with little success. Corn is regarded
on the Continent as hog feed" and
peas are used mainly in the dried
state. Tomatoes are almost unknown.
AS the heavy drain of war becomes
more apparent, the local packers hope
to change this.
Speaking of the chances of intro
ducing the local tomato to the Eu-
ropean armies, man prominent in
the canning industry. said:
Our chief claim for the canned
tomato as a diet for the soldier in
the field is its excellent anti-sporific
qualities. The commissary general of
our own army attests that he finds
that there is nothing that will give
the same results for troops that must
go on campt diet for a long period.
"In the English Army it is custom
airy to serve jam to the soldiers for
the same purpose. A can of tomatoes
costs less than a jar of jam and
would be more beneficial to the SOL
der. The question of a water supply
often confronts an army on the march
The water contained in a can of to
matoes is refreshing and thirst
quenching and a good, healthfpl
physic. The variety of ways that
the canned tomato could be served
also makes it an ideal camp fare
