HELLER GETS OPTION
 ON HAMPDEN PARK
Former Pittsficld Magnate Announces "War Move''-WilI O'Connor
 Takc Franchise?

Springfield, Mass, Jan. 4.-John A. Teller, present league manager of the Eastern baseball association, admit ted yesterday he had secured an op- ton on a years lease of Hampden park. And in that connection he also admitted Paddy O'Connor of Windsor Locks, former catcher for the Spring field club of the old Connecticut league and later with the National league, American association and Federal league was being consid cred" for the Springfield franchise of the Eastern association. All this news leaked out presumably from the Hampden park end, for MT. Zeller was not yet ready to make any announce ment of park or coming Springfield franchise holder
 It is interesting that the league manager is satisfied to call the option on the park and it's by-plays a war move" He said last night that the option did not necessarily mean that Eastern association baseball would be played on Hampden park, nor did it mean that Eastern association would not be played at League park. He was not prepared to discuss the case at length. However, it was stated in an evening paper that "Zeller already has plans in the making for improvements of no small nature at Hampden park, including the putting of the grand stand in shape, with a new roof, etc, and the installation of additional seating facilities
 William E. Carey, former holder of the Springfield franchise, could not be reached last night, but he did state Saturday night that should MT. Zeller Or anybody else attempt to run East ern association baseball in this city he would make a hot issue out of it in the civil courts. MT. Carey further said in anticipation probably of the Hampden park move that defeat ac- cording to baseball law did not mean defeat in the courts and that he would fight invaders" in the courts to pro- tect his local baseball investment, But he was not Nepared to admit he had been beaten according to baseball law, stating that the merger was sure- ly coming and the success of the mer- ger to him means the saving of his baseball investment He further stated that James Clarkin of Hart

RAY COLLINS RETIRES.
Red Sox Hurler Faces Cut in Salary
 He Likes Farming.

Burlington, Vt, Jan. 4-Probably prompted by the fact that he is confronted with a big cut in salary, Ray Collins, pitcher of the Red Sox, announced his retirement from base ball.
 No explanation is made by Collins of his present frame of mind, but 1t is said the southpaw is discouraged over his failure to show old-time form with the Red Sox last year. He suffered the most disastrous season in his career and was batted hard gen. erally when he was sent into the hill.
 At present Collins is devoting all his time to farming. He has invested a good sum in large tract near Burlington. where he plans to settle down to the quiet and peaceful life of an agriculturist.

I'espite this unselfsh play, l never saw him outguessed but once; that was when Dill Starr got around him at Cambridge in 1905 for six yards; but Tom caught him and threw him over the substitutes bench on the side lines. l have played whole games when his end was never attempted at all. At running back kick offs from 1ullback position he will never have an equal.
 He used to say: There are nc good backs; they all look alike when they are on the ground; if you stop them they are all bad; never let these fast bird backs get started shoot them on the ground You can count on one hand the runs made against Yale of more than thirty yards when Tom played.
 'Tom sometimes lost his temper hut never his head. When the Hill heat Villanova college in 1901 Tom Vas actually crying with rage, but played the headiest and by far the best game on the field. Under the most trying conditions he never played foul or slugged; he was rough enough s,s it was.
 Tom as Jailbird.
 "Once in Philadelphia Tom was ar rested, I believe for speeding in an auto, in 1902, on the day Hill school opened for the spring term, so he sent wire to the headmaster some thing like this: Sorry cannot be with you at opening of school; in jail.
 Don't ever let any one say that there ever lived or ever will live a better end than Tom; he had them al beaten at everything weight, speed strength, instinct, endurance, luck mental attitude, football knowledge ability to read the other fellow, ability as a field general, level-headedness spirit, brains and everything else which a man could have. Not only was he the best end but I believe he played his position better than any man has ever played any position.
 He leaves a vacant place in the football world that can never be filed
