COLLINS, star BATSNAN.
signs Up WITH W|NONA
NORTHERN LEAGUE TEAM

Cobb of the Northern league aud last
seasons leading batsmen, Luke Col.
Inns, has signed up with Winona for
another year. This vas the
ment made after a conference
between Collins. Lefty Davis and the
management of the local baseball
ciun. The signing Of Collins puts to
an end a rumor that Bowery would
play with the Federals this year. Col
Inns, however. says that he has had
TWO tempting offers to play else
where. Albert Lea has offered him a
good salary and other concessions, but
Luke has decided to stick with Vino
ma. The Federals offered him a fine
salary to become an outlaw.
Now that Collins has set an exarn-
pie by signing up. 1t is expected that
the other last years men will not be
slow in sending in their signed on
tracts. They are holding out for more
salary but it has been pointed out to-
them that a club playing Glass G.
baseball cannot afford to pay them
the salaries they are demanding.
UP to date seven men have affixed
thelr signatures to a Winonan ON
tract. John IIynes. an inielder who
mas three years baseball experience
around Burlington. Iowa. returned
