EDDIE COLLINS VERSUS NAP" LAJOIE

When Connie Mack sold his star second baseman, Eddie Collins, to the White Sox for almost enough money to make up the Athletics losses of last season he chose Lajoie, one of the oldest players in point of service in the game today, to hold down the key stone sack for the Athletics, declar- ing that change of surroundings would greatly benefit the Frenchman. A comparison of the work of these two stars from the opening of the season through April 23 therefore is interesting. Collins took part in 10 contests with this result: Times at bat 20, runs Il, hits T, two base hits 2, put outs 15, assists 2s, stolen bases 4, error 1. In eight games Larry" performed thusly: Times at bat 32, runs 1, hits s, two base hits 1, put outs IS, assists 20, no stolen bases and errors. To a fellow in the mid dle of the road it would appear that Collins is several laps ahead and go- ing fast.

 Featuring the battle, in addition to the pitching of Robertson, was the dazzling work of the Baron infield. Ellam, Clark and Hemingway were everywhere. The trio scooped up sizzzling grounders and knocked down vicious drives, time after time mailing the offensive efforts of the Peicans. Mcbride and Hale also played excellently, the begging of the Baron catcher being especially brilliant.

HELP THE CHILDREN

Although Americans have shown
a ready generosity toward the
stricken and needy people Of Eu-
rope since the beginning Of the
present war, a relief plan just or
ganized in New York City, is be-
lieved TO hold a stronger and
straighter appeal to this nation
than any previous one of a kindred
nature. This plan was inaugurated
by Mrs. Whitney Warren, Treasur-
er of the Secours National, which
has been sending food and clothing
to the destitute aged people, women
and children in France. The object
of this new work is to send kits
containing necessary articles Of wear
to the babies and little children Of
the destitute and devastated Sec
tions of France.
There is a double appeal to this
work. First; it does not seek in
any way to furnish aid TO the be-
ligerent or fighting branch of the
French nation. Second; it does aim
TO give greatly needed aid to chill
dren-to little children who are in
need and helpless. There are thou
sands Of these little ones in France
today, homeless orphans who are in
rags or completely destitute OF
clothing. These are the children the
Secours National proposes to help.
II is no reflection upon the French
Government that this distressing
condition exists today. That peace
full cultured nation was precipitated
into a war of defense and, against
terrible odds, has worked wonders
in sustaining its army and caring
for the non-combatants.
But France cannot accomplish
miracles and it is from America that
help for these children must come,
children whose great grandfathers a
hundred years ago fought to make
America free.
II is now the time when Ameri-
cans-blessed with the liberty
France helped to win for her-are
enjoying the benefits and pleasures
Of vacation. These little children OF
France are suffering for the neces-
. sites of life. Would it not be
beautifully appropriate for Ameri-
cans to give a part-only a small
part-of their vacation funds Tor
this worthy cause?
Will you help these children?
Arrangements have been made
whereby the cost Of each kit is
held TO the small amount Of two
dollars (s2). Free transportation
is furnished by the French Gov
eminent while safe and advantag-
eous distribution of the kits is guar
a?teed by the American War Re-
lief Clearing House in Paris.
All subscriptions should be sent
TO Mrs. Whitney Warren, Treasur-
er, Secours National, i6 East attn
street, New York City.
