It stands to reason that the average ball
player when he is offered twice the sal
AIRY he is getting does a lot of thinking
and consequently his mind is not on his
business This is really the object Of the
Federal League in making players fabu-
lous propositions. In not a single in
stance has ii come through with the real
money. but these offers have served the
purpose of lessening the value of The play
erS to their clubs. The Federal leagu
has done nothing for base ball but ham
per its progress. The new league would
like to create the impression that its OBJ
1ect is to benefit the lot of the players,
but if the day ever comes that the Fed
eral League has the upper hand its first
move is sure to be the reduction of sala-
ries so that profits will be possible.
Eddie Collins is given credit for hav-
ing played the greatest ball of his ca
reer in the double-header with Boston
Monday. Collins feats are splenddly
chronicled by William Weart in the Phil
adelphia Evening Telegraph. who says:
In the two games Eddie went to bat
eight times. He made three singles and
home run. the latter being on drive
inside the grounds, which is a mighty
rare fear. and he drew three bases on
balls. Collins scored two runs in the sec
ond game and he drove in the tally which
prevented the home team from being
Sii0t out III llie UTSl engagement. In
each game Eddie stole a base. In the
field Collins handled fifteen chances with
out an error
IT was his fast, heady playing in the
held that brought the greatest glory to
Collins. Twice he outwitted the Boston
runners in the first game. With Rehg on
third and Gardner on first adm two out.
a double steal was attempted. Collins
ran in back of the pitcher as if intending
10 intercept Schang's throw and return
the ball to the plate. Instead Eddie
lodged, the ball went over his shoulder
and Barry grabbed it and touched out
Gardner before Rehg could cross the
plate In the eighth inning a play which
looked to be brand-new was pulled. lam
win was on third and Gardner on second.
when ferkes sent fly to Oldrine
1t looked as if 'Rube' had only one
chance in hundred to douhle-up
Janvrin at the plate. Collins ran about

Gardiner from taking third base Both
runners fell for the trick Gardner re-
manned at second and Janvrin slowed w

the ball went to Schang. who touched

In the second game Collins thrilled
the crowd by getting drive by Cady i'll

run. and then throwing to McInns and
doubling-up Yerkes. Later Eddie ran
