 FACE HARD PRoRl EMI
Predicted That MeGraw Will Shake Up His Team from Top to Bottom

Pity the baseball magnate! Bad as were the effects of the baseball war upon him last season the worst Is yet to como. And this goes. for the Fed eral league owner, aa well as the man In tho National and American leagues. The loss to all the owners will come from surplus baseball talent.
 In tho old days the player could re- main with N club just ton deys after hisussfulness was past, but now many a team will be obliged to carry useless player for one, two or even thres yenrs.
 Take the case of the New York Giants. It has been freely predicted in sosno quarters that Medraw will shake up the team from top to bottom next ssnxon. Perhaps he will. but If he does the New York club will have the Irnst expensive lot or bench warm CTS ever known In baseball.

COLLINS MAY LEAD
 HIGHLANDERs
Rumored That Farrell is Trying tc Secure Athletics Star Second Base man.

Though he will not admit that he has been angling for the Athletic star. Frank Farrell does not deny that he has hopes, of separating Eddie Collins from the Philadelphia club before next spring. Whether Collins would be made manager of the Yankees if ob- tained by the New York American leaguers isn't altogether certain, but the probabilities are all that way.
 Whether Collins can be brought to New York depends largely upon the showing Iute Boone makes as a mem- Der of the All-American team Connie Mack is campaigning through the west. If Boone can impress Mack is almost an even money bet that he, among others, will be traded off to the Athletics in exchange for Collins.
 It is hinted that Boone was invited to accompany Mack to the coast for no other purpose than to enable t1le study his play and habits over a period more extended than any the American league pennant campaign offered. Though Farrell does not af- firm that this is the case, there are good reasons for believing that there is some sort of an understanding be- tween the New York and Philadelphia clubs.
 When the Federal leaguers were ir New York last week MT. Farrell said: tT hope Boone can play lot of good Philadelphia club may be willing te part with Collins"
 Further than that the Yankee president would say nothing, bu many Yankee manager has beer hired on less provocation since Franl Chance went away from New York The acquisition of Collins would prot ably cost the New York club quit, considerable in players and in casl, and Boone would certainly be involves in the deal.

SWATFEST TAKEN BY
OVERLANDS, ~ TO Z
First Game Of the Season Played at
Baseball Park Before Good
Crowd Yesterday.

The winter ice on the local baseball
lot was broken yesterday afternoon
when the Overlands met and defeated
the Gate City's in a swatfest which
resulted IL to Z. The fielding of
Schenk, Overland's third sacker, and
the hitting of Roam were features Of
the game.
Both teams were somewhat wild on
fielding, probably due to the fact that
it was the seasons first game and
neither team has had much practice.
The diamond was rough. fact which
also accounted for the somewhat
erroneous fielding. No charge was
made for admission and good sized
crowd warmed seats on the bleach
ers.
The OverIands wore their new suits
and made a. fine appearance on the
