Lone Single Earns Cold
Thousand for Mullen

game, is dying in Buffalo, recall the
greatest chapter In American League
history.
Back in 1903 Collins led his Red Sox
into the worlds series battles with the
Pirates The Pirates took the first three
games OF the series in such easy fashion
that II seemed nothing but a miracle
could keep the worlds championship from
them. To win. the Red Sox had to take
the four remaining games. And they did.
because Collins. game to the core, begged
and pleaded with his men to come
back"
After the third straight beating Ban
johnson and the club owners quit cold.
They left town that night. To them IT
seemed hopeless fight And then 1t
was that Collins gathered his men around
him and, with tears in his eyes, said:
They've quit U.s. boys-alI Of them.
They think were beaten. But there's a
chance yet There's hope. So let Us pull
together. Let's get to going tomorrow
and well beat EN- yet. VIII you do this
for me, boys?"
History shows that the ''boys'' de-
hvered. They went in and beat the Pirates
the next day. That gave them the neces-
sary confidence, and they took the next
three and won the championship"
1t was the wonderful Collins couraEs
that saved the day for the Red Sox.
John McGraw has decided to Kfys
George Burns. the great outfelder, a try
at the third basing job this spring. Burns
used to play infield, and he played it In
great style That was in the minors.
When he went to the Giants McGraw
needed an outfielder more than he dId an
infielder. So he put Burns to work In the
outheld and Burns at once developed into
the greatest Outfielder In the National
League.
Some people may think IT foolish for
me to play Burns at third" said McGraw,
but some people thought the Pirates
were foolish when they transferred Houus
Wagner from the outfield to shortstop.
I've got more outfelders than I need
And / haven't a real third baseuaan. n
Burns shows he can play the bag he'll be
the regular third baseman next year. And
think he can play that bag as well as
any man In the game. He's q natural
born all-around baseball player"
