bunch Of the players, and this was the
cause Of his coming out IN his true
colors. The photograph attracted the
attention OF the authorities at Column
bia. and when spring training OF the
Morningsidc Heights Collegians was
about TO start, Collins was shown the
photo and asked If the likeness was Of
himself. He had to admit having dealt
with professionals, and then and there
ended his amateur baseball days.
SO in 1907 Collins played under his
own name with the Athletics. and he
has made that name famous al over the
country. II is not to be supposed that
Connie Mack welcomed the recruit as
a heaven sent second baseman OF the
first water. Not at all--he simply be-
hcved that the youngstor would develop
into a good ball player. Through the
season Of 1907 he experimental with
Collins extensively. He tried the young
ster at third bnse, and ho didn't ft in at
all. Collins went back to the bench. and
serencly kicked his heels, waiting for
another chance. This was at shortstop,
and again he failed TO come up to the
mark
Despite this second sethacl, there were
stlil two men who had the greatest
condolences in Collins. One was Connie
Mack and the other was Eddie Collins
himself. lie was mostly on the bench
that season, but finally he got his third
trial this time at second base. In ds
hours Mack knew that the kid had
found himself, and he has been there
over since.
Today the boy that Griffith turned
down is beyond comparison the greatest
second baselnan in the game His bat

Az fielding he is marvel and there
are few better base runners in captivity
IN the worlds series against the Cubs in
1910 Collins batted. 400, and last year
against the Giants he hit for .42I. With
Mclnnis, Barry and Baker he is The key
stone defense Of the greatest inlield in
the history Of baseball.
Collins was born at Millerton n. Y.

WALES STANDS
BY KING GEORGE
MINERS IN WELSH WORKS HAVE
DENIED THEMSELVES DAYS
REST IN ORDER TO KEEP UP A
NORMAL SUPPLY OF COAL.

Cardiff, Sept. 1S-waIes, the source
of the British navy|s coal supply, has
shown its loyalty to the king in a man
ner highly gratifying to the admiralty.
In the face Of attempts on the part of
labor leaders to take advantage of the
present war for the enforcement OF
demands upon the admiralty, the
Welsh miners have gladly waived all
holidays and are working Sundays
whenever it is necessary to keep the
navy supply of coal up to the required
standard. Union officials took the po-
sftion that it was not necessary for
the union men to surrender their hol-
idays, but the miners overturned the
ruling Of the officials with unanimity.
