they asked him if he would jump. To their great astonishme ent, Collins stat ed that he demanded $so'ooos for a three-year contract.
 Not only that. but he wanted $2O, eco in cash. and demanded that the other $60,OO0 be deposited in the bank for him. This demand on the part of Col Iins, the Federal League official states, breaks all records for colossal nerve on the part Of the present day play- CTS Or course, the. demand was re- fused. It was beyond reason. It goes to show, however, just what a high regard Collins has for his services.

New York, Dec. 2s,-A Federal League official stated yesterday that the reason that the new organi ization did not persist in it's negotiations to sign Eddie Collins, formerly of the Athletics and now Of the White Sox, was because his demands when Ehe s.F,eds'' first approached Collins Vtth an offer, were so great that the Inde- pendent League officials were dumb founded.
 Collins had been generally selected as the greatest player in the world and he impressed this fact upon the mind of the Federal Leaguers when

which was most remarkable be.
cause the occupants of the car
escaped injury. aside from a few
scratches. Mrs. M. Flaherty
who had spent Sunday night at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Howell
Givens of Edgewater, was re-
turning home in a seven passen-
ger car which was being driven
by a chauffeur. AS they were
approaching the Wadsworth hill
south of the C. & S. tracks, a
wagon was in the middle of the
road coming up the hill. 1t is
said to have been occupied by
Mr.. Feelin and Mr.. Jasper. The
chauffeur blew his horn and
started to make Il run for the
hill, but was surprised to see the
wagon swing over to the left in
stead of the right. 1t was too
late to avoid a collision if he re-
mained in the travelled road and
the chauffeur swung his car into
the weeds at the side, after hav.
ing slowed down. The embank.
ment proved treacherous and the
big car slipped off the grade and
turned over on its side, landing
with the top against a fence post
just above the chauffeur's head.
The grade is about eight or ter
feet high at this point and yer,
steep. The wonder is that nei.
ther the chauffeur nor Mrs. Flah.
erty were caught under the car,
the only solution being that the
top coming in contact with the
post prevented it from turning
clear over and the top also pre-
vented them from falling out.

Arvada Team in Mixup.

Arvada team played the Moose
team Sunday at West 32nd and
TETON streets. They beat them
10 to 8 and the fans on the other
side were feeling grouchy. Jack
Lercher coached off of first base
and made a forced run. In the
mixup caused by Jacks horse.
play another score was made for
the Arvada team and Jack reach
ed third, which raised a question.
Earl Jenck was at the bat and
the captain of the other team ran
up to him and started an argu-
ment. Jack Lercher claims to
have seen all that happened and
states that one of the "dagoes"
who was not taking any part in
the argument ran in and struck
Jenck on the back of the head
with a ball bat. This laid Jenck
out for a while. In the mean
time a free-for-all fight started
and Owens was knocked down.
When he fell some one kicked
him and he was trampled under
the feet of the "scrappers. "
However, he came to himself ap-
parently and played two more
innings, but the boys say he act
ed strangely and made peculiar
remarks. He seemed in a dazed
condition all day Monday, but
got better in the evening.
The man who started the trou.
BILE, whose name was Fallico, ar
Italian, was compelled tc
flee for his life and was finally
arrested. Manager Bennett,
Geo. Muench and Earl Jenck
were taken over Monday as wit
nesses and Fallico was bound
over to court, the trial being sci
for today.

get the endorsement of the con-

Carringer in the primaries two

GREEKS LoATHE THE TURKS,
An Incident That Shows How Deep
Seated IS the Hatred.


The extent to which the Greeks
hatred OF the Turks goes Is illustrated
In "a Child Of the Orient" by Demetra
vaka. The authors Aunt Kalliroe was
an old Greek woman. whose feelings
were the most anti-Turk. She had
bought a largo Greek homestead, for
which she had no use and which she
could not at all afford, solely to keep It
from falling into the possession Of a
Turk. The author writes:
'-The next time we visited Aunt Kal-
liroe she was installed in the SpathAry
homestead Just within the front door
stood q small table, covered with a
white linen tablecloth, such as an
orthodox Greek woman spun herself
for the purpose Of putting on the tnble
where the ikons were laid-a table
cloth always washed by the mistress
herself In a basin kept apart from the
other dishes. On the table lay a Greek
ikon, a brass candlestick holding three
candles, all burning. and a brass In
cense burner, from which a column OF
blue smoke was rising. filing the house
with the odor OF incense.

They have been burning since
