MecLENAcHAN, =. I.

when @. Webb Murphy fred him as
the Cub manager, he incidentally
boosted him into another worlds
series, as well as the highest salary
paid any player in the big leagues. II
II estimated that Evers will earn this
season close to $4,000, while the
most money he could possibly have
drawn as manager OF the Cubs ia
$4,000.
When Evers signed contract with
the Boston club last winter, he was
paid. II is said. $4,000 for his sigma
ture. In addition to this the Boston
club assumed his Chicago contract,
which called for an annual salary of
$4,000, and provision whereby he
was to receive bonus Of $4,000 II the
team won the pennant.
II also required balm of $4,000 to
soothe Johnny's feelings when Swee-

Thinks It's time we should butt in
Cause there's something In the ali

Ray Collins Makes Ball History
By Double Victory Over Tigers

and triple by Crawford, who opened
the seventh with q mighty smash.
Then Collins showed that his per-
Torrance was no fuke. After issuing
pass to Veach, he made Holman
and Baker foul out, and the best Nor
iarty could do. was to lift q high one
to Gamer.
The first game was typical con.
test with Collins. who Is Detroit's
nemesis. Detroit hit safely IL times.
but found It impossible to score, ex-
cept In the fifth, when Cobb, with a
foul line triple, registered Coveleskie
and Witt. who had singled. Crawford
came through with sacrifice fly,
and Cobb came home, ending the
scoring for the day.
Meanwhile, the Red Sox were driv-
ing in runs, one or two at time, a
home run by Speaker, triples by
Hooper and Lewis, and two-baggers
by Lewis and Gamer being the stick
ing features for warriors from the
city OF culture.
Coveleskie worked hard, but was
not as effective as usual, while Old
ham seemed to have nothing with
which to puzzle Carrigan's sluggers.
Reynolds. who replaced both twirlers,
and who has the distinction Of work
ing In the four games Of the two
double-headers. did much better.
Collins double victory is the first
ever won by single twirler from the
Tigers since the American league
was organized, and his work yester-
day Will rank as one OF the achieve
ments OF tho season. Eddie Summers
turned the trick for Detroit against
the Athletics in 1908, but his base.
ball decline dates from the strain of
that September day.
The one bright feature OF the day
for the Tigers was the return OF
Crawford's batting eye, the right field.
