GOSSIP OF INTI LEAGUE
Newark and Montreal fought many
hard battles last season. There were
reasons, chief among them the
fact that the Royals had one of the
best throwing trio of outfielders n
the International League. In fact,
there was only one other outfield
that compared with MontreaIs gar
deners at throwing the pill to the
bases and that was Newark's
The Bengals' speedy base runners
were unable to stretch hits on the
Montreal outfield, and furthermore
more than one Bengal runner was
cut down at the plate trying to score
on fly hit to a Montreal outfelder

Bill Just Couldn't Quit
The news that Manager Harry
Smith, of the Tigers, is making an
effort to recover Bill Collins is well
coined by Newark fans. It Is also
stated that the Boston Nationals are
holding Bill up. If Collins could Be
recovered by Harry Smith, the Bengal
leader would be sure of one thing at

bases. Collins's whirlwind style last
season made the whole team fast be-
cause he was constantly taking
chances, both in the field and at bat
and his dashing style was contagious.
