WILL COLLINS BE
 STAR WHEN BARRY
 IS NOT WITH HIM?
wnrcaatar Post ]

{WUfcGateE. EOSt.O
 worcester fans as well as those Tn srs,15casso and in other cities through fsnut the American league are wonder ling how the change from the Ath- k1e&ics to the White Sox will affect the Famous Eddie Collins playing as a ffaa1der. The question is will he be s4he same heIding wonder as5when he. rplayed with the Quaker teams or will fslzs general all-around work around k8ne keystone sack deter1orate2 Fans have been asking themselves these kauestions, but to date none have kvozsched an answer. Time alone will k+ell the tale
 Why should CoI11ns~ work suffer as fn White Sox player in comparison with that which hes had on tap while Htrxving for honor and glory foEIthe Estarsdard of the house of Mack The ausvuer is that he yVilF be without EIack Barry, a Worcester resident and former Holy Cross star and con oeded by rival players, press and pubuc to be the best shortstop in the
 Admirers of Collins have often de- eIared that Collins made Barry the wonder worker he is, insisting that if Barry had anyone else Wor king at second, he would be rated as an ordi7 nary performer. On the other hand Barryss thousands of supporters de- clare that it was proven time and again during the last five years that fhe Athletics were great working machine without Collins in it, while at any time that Barry was out of the lineup, not only did Collins fall eff in his work, but the entire Ath- letic outfit well
 Buck Weaver. who will be Collins side partner next season. is not by any means a weakIing at short. Buck IS sensational performer, who GOV CTS a lot of ground and at times is as spectacu1ar as Barry, but unlike the former Holy Crossa player, he is very Inconsistent. He is not nearly 50 dependable as Barry. And the same inconsistency may prove the I1ndoing of Collins as the peer of keystone- guardians in the American league.
 There is no disputing the fact that the BaTry-Co11ins combination was the greatest capitalization in the American circuit, and in fact one o1 -i fI1e best. pairs that ever worked to gefher on the skinned diamond Now the only chance that the fol1 overs o1 Collins have to declare Weaver 9 greater man than Barry, is for Col lins to go out and make him a star
 If Collins made Barry he should be able to make Weaver. Heres where the test will come in Car Collins rid Weaver of the inconsis- tezcy stuff? Weaver is SIS fast al they make them with hand and foo on the field.
 He has plenty Of class and there i. Q chance that he will make the fan. forget about the famous Rarry-Co1 Hns combinaions and with Collins Table assistance, improve on the play Iof the former duo But despite it al zSn1th the great baseball brain, thu kwonderfu1 hands and feet that seen 4o work in unison with the master mind, the incomporable shortstop.

GIBBONS IN
 FAST FIGHT
 BEATS CLABBY

Milwaukee. Jan. a22--Mike Gibbons, the St. Paul middleweight. out pointed Jimmy Clabby Of Hammond. Ind; in a ten-round no-decision battle here last night. The fight was fast and furious throughout and both men landed some hard wa11ops to the sive c1everness saved both from many punches that might have ended the contest if they had landed.
 Neither boxer scored a knockdown- There was 8 big crowd, including many prominent pugiists, at the ringside.
 Gibbons weighed 15O and C1abby a quarter of a pound more.
 The result proved Gibbons to be a very formidable factor in the settle ment of the niddleweight supremacy, for he outboxed and outgeneraled his shifty opponent in four sessions, while a like number were evenly fought and two went to C1abby.
 Gibbons not only proved too clever for Clabby, but he slugged his more sturdy opponent and came out ahead in that style, too. The stSt. Paul Phantom showed that he well ner- tied that sobriquet. Tn the opinion of. the sporting writers at the ringside he earned the decision by a clear margin.
 Gibbons tired in the last two rounds and left the ring with a dis eolored right eye, while Clabby's mouth was cut to ribbons. Gibbons landed the, harder blows as well as the most.
 As far as science was concerned they were on a par. Gibbons di- recteds his attack at CIabby's face face and. reached the chin repeatedly with solid smashes. Gibbons most effective blow was a right hook to the jaw which rocked Clabby's head every time it connected.

 CLASS OF LABOR

Chicago, Jan. 22-CounseI for the Federal league and organized base ball resumed their arguments in the United States district court today, confronted with the possibility that Judge Landers might throw the case out of court on the ground that he did not have Jurisdiction.

Judge Landis said, had not convinced him in the presentation of arguments up to the close of court yesterday. that the case was one for a federal court to decide. Keene II.

 George Wharton Pfeffer, chief of counsel for the defense, in finishing his argument, was prepared 10 show that organized ball could not come under the provision of the Sherman antitrust law as labor, he said, could not be considered as a commodity of commerce.
 If the case is thrown out of court, it was pointed out, the Federal league must resort to state courts for hear ing.
