EDDIE COLLINS CAN'T HIT WALTER JOHNSON

If Connie Mack knew his business he would send Eddie Collins away on fishing trip or something just about the time that. Walter Johnson was due to pitch against the Athletics. This may sound rather startling to the untutored fan. but let the doubt -ful ones gaze up when facing the Pride of the Potomac, also the pride of c. Griffith.
 Now Eddie Collins is most con sistent 300 hitter, as nearly every sane hurler will vouch for but if his batting average was reckoned by his work against Johnson he would be anything but a consistent swatsrnan and in all likelihood MT. c. Mack would get rid, of him.
 Collins batting average in facing Walter Johnson is a perfect scream and Ed should ~disown it. One day he made two hits in one game when batting against Johnson, and one happened to be a home run. That was the best days work he ever put in when la;boringto master the John |sson curve. After that game Collins faced Johnson about 2 5 times before he even got the sem blance of a hit.
 These may be hard words, but p. Collins has made the poorest showing against Johnson of any batsman in Ethe league controlled by Ban Johnson. save the hurIers and possibly Billy lRSoA4tN1n IL IS dDOuI as ndrQ 10 Ina where Billy made a base hit off the pitching of the great Walter as 1t would be to find9a mo1ar in an old l hen, but then SuIIy has faced the big star only a little over 30. times Collins in the eight seasons he has had the pleasure, or agony. of trying to bat the curves of Johnson. made a IamentabIy poor showing. In the II O times at bat he made just 16 base hits, l an average of .144.

AMATEUR GOLFER

 RECORD ON LINKS

Frank W. Dyer, the young Mont clair anateuy. played 2 remarkable round of golf yesterday in the anna teuf- f-professional best ball competi- ton at the scarsdaIe. N. Y. Golf and Country Club.
 The cornpetition is the annual one which always pr recedes the metropo1- itan Spen championship, and Dyer and Tom Anderson. the Montclair pro fessional, turned in sbest ball card Of s, which won by the unusual mar gin Of three strokes.
 Tn only three of the eighteen holes did Andersdn come to the young anna teur,s aids Dyer's individual score for the round was 66, a new amateur record for the course, and only a stroke higher than the professional mark set on Monday by Macdonald Smith, of Oakmont.

BASEBALL GOSSIP

 Benny Kauff has better batting average than Steve Evans, but he has nothing on the Brookfed outfieIderss in the total number of extra bases, each having sixty-four when the la test figures were compiled. Evans was credited with twenty-four doubles, eight triples and eight home runs.
 Mike DooIaM has fallen away from the 300 class, after retaining his mem bership for q long time after the Federal League season opened. But the former Phillie is hitting close to .285, which is a big Improvement on his batintg as a national Leaguer. kN The Yankees started the season by gaining a crop of victories against the Eastern clubs and then they fell down hard against the Westerners. For the past month they have been making the Westerners after losing a lot of games to the Eastern clubs.
 Bill AfcKechnie formerly with the Yankees, ranks second in run getting in the Federal League. Hap Meyers of the Brookfeds ran next to McKech- nie.
 Sam Crawford leads the American League in long hitting with sixteen sdoubles,s eighteen triples and seven home runs. Magee leads the Nation al League with twenty-four dou bles, Ssix triples and eight home runs.
 The Athletics and Red Sox continue to move along at a pace which leaves the other clubs struggling far in the rear. From present indications Gar rigan's men will furnish the worlds champions with whatever fight they get.
 The Pittsburgh Pirates are the long distance champions of the National League, having taken part in three of the five longest" events in that or ganization. All have been defeats for the Pirates. Beside the recent twen- ty-one inning affair with the Giants the Corsairs played a nineteen inning game with the Cubs in 1902 and a similar with the Braves last season.
 With Eddie Collins leading the American League in base running and John Franklin batting just behind the Mackian whirlwind. it is easy to un- derstand why Eddie is about the lead ing run getter of all leagues.
 Thanks to the heavy hitting of Kalff Campbell and Carr particularly, the Indianapolis Feds have a. remark able record for team batting. The club has hit .2s6, or 20 percentage points above the Readers in the two major leagues.

There is a small sized war now go- ing on among the Planters, according to reports, and Bill Powers is holding the center. of the stage. Hartford s former twirier has been getting in bad with Gene McCan, it is said, because he has been hitting the high spots and not keeping in condition, and McCann has read the riot act. Stories to this effect have been published in the newspapers and Powers is looking for somebody's gore, but thus far has not done anything desperate.
 To add fuel to the disturbance a story has been printed that McCann has signed up a new pitcher named

 EIGHT INNINGS

Buffalo, N. F., Aug 5-Davidson, of the Orioles, set what is probably a worlds record yesterday by passing twenty men in eight innings. A wild heaves and a throw which hit Catcher McAvoy in the neck and knocked him out were other features of Davidson's pitching.
 Buffalo won, T to 4, on three hits Fourteen Bisons were left on the bases In three innings, Davidson forced in four runs.

 By beating Bridgeport twice while Springfield was taking New London into camp, the Waterbury club made quite a gain on the Planters Water bury is only 69 points behind New London and.it looks as if FohPs crowd will worry McCann considerably be- fore the race is over.
