Then Freddy, will be ready to kiss a
fond farewell to his title. Freddy is
tired Of training for bouts, and with
his remuneration for the bouts with
White and Leonard he would have quite
a tidy fortune to keep the wolves from
the fireside.
Pollock Out for No. 1.
Any way things eventuate, Harry
Pollock will be well provided for. The
loss incurred by Welsh's dethroning
would be more than compensated
dividual to unseat Welsh. Pollock will
see that he's not forgotten by Leonard
and his manager in future matches Of
youthful Benny as a champion. other
wise Pollock would never consent to
a Welsh-Leonard muss.
Johnny Dundee must he left out Of
the calculations when figuring on a
20 round fight with Welsh. In reality
Dundee would prove tougher than
either White or Leonard over the route,
and for that reason Welsh has deemed
it proper to ignore the ScOtch-WOp.
Dundee has fought quite number of
20 round battles, and knows how to
conduct himself across the distance.
Leonard, on the other hand, has never
gone more than u rounds, if that
many and may find Il hard to regulate
his speed so as to endure the distance.
Peculiar as It may seem, Welsh
thinks he can make a better showing
against Leonard over 20 rounds than
he can In ten. He could hardly do any
worse than when he first confronted
Leonard at the Garden several weeks
ago. Welsh was given the whipping of
his career in the ten rounds He does
not think Benny can repeat over a
stretch.

'As the boys grow and enter school
and college. or join the ranks Of ath-
letic clubs, they are studied by an ever
increasing number Of expert eyes and
receive the advice and admOnitiOn, the

ters in athletic selection and in the
methods of living and working that

their lines, and the fittest survive, their
names cross the boundaries of state
and nation and they are in line for the
highest honors the athletic world has
to offer
In other lands the processes differ
widely from ours. Systematic, long

himself. He is soon TO drop into pu-

not be voluntary. 1t Will be induced
by either a left hook from Charley
White, or by a right hook from Benny

Leonard evidently commands more
respect from Welsh than does the Chi

parent by the schedule Welsh has out
lined for his remaining days in the
ring. Freddy IS not averse TO taking
White on for 20 rounds any time the
Windy City lad murmurs the word
But as for tackling Leonard; that's an
other matter. Benjamin will have TO
bide his time, says Freddy.
Its Coming Soon.
The new lightweight champion prob
ably will be crowned In New Orleans,
either on Independence Day or Labor
Day. in any event, it will be the oc-
Casion OF one OF our holidays, so that
the passing Of Freddy Welsh may easily
be recalled.
White viii get the first chance at
Welsh over a route. That is assured.
for Freddy and his manager, the pulch-
itrudinous AIRY Pollock, consider
White easier game. Just why this
should be So inasmuch as White is
IN infinitely harder hitter than Leon
ard, is hard to understand. 1t may be
that Welsh can handle White with less
pualmE, as he has fought him three
times, and has not even been 0oored

Welsh is quite satisfied to give
Leonard a chance. providing the cham

The above figures show that Collins
over the sweep of seven campaigns,
leads Speaker in the offensive depart
ments of the game. True, his margin
ovr Speaker in a batting way is
slight-but. nevertheless, Collins must
be given the top position.
Collins Hetter Base Runner.
In base running, Speaker must yield
to his fleeter foe. Collins pilfered 37g
sacks In seven seasons-an average Of
81 per year-while Speakers total is
264-average fraction beyond 81.
In five Of the seven years involved.
Collins has topped Speaker i'm run
scoring. The two had a great race in
1919 but Collins won out, scoring 1877
times against 1876 for the Spoke"
Collins has scored 779 runs in seven
years-anaverag Of 111-while the
best Speaker could do was 691, which
averages about 80 per season.
Each wonderful on Defence.
Speaker undoubtedly is the greatest
fielding Outfielder in the game. His
equal does not exist-probably never
existed. But has he any noticeable
bulge on Collins2 The White SOx star
Is one Of the grandest fielders that ever
pulled on a mitt. He is sensational
and more He is always reliable. And,
greatest OF all, he is as brainy and
fighter.
The figures seem to back up our
argument that Collins is a more val
liable player than Speaker. But here's
another point. It's one we advanced
in our other story. When Charlie
Comiskey paid $4,000 for Eddie Col
Inns he got a player who then was
only p years Old-a player who had at
least seven or eight years Of baseball
in his system.
But the new Indian owners paid
$4,000 for a player who in all around
value is slightly inferior to Collins,
and who at that time, was nearing his
33rd birthday-only a short jump from
the end Of the big league lane
II Collins was worth only $4,000 to
the White Sox, a pennant possibility,
do you think that Speaker is worth
$50, 900 TO the second division Indians?

Ever since we expressed tho opinion
that the new Cleveland owners fooled
somewhat by paying out $4,000 for
Iris Speaker, some folks from the old

Collins Joined the Athletics in 1906
