John Collins, Former
Springfield Star, Is
Valuable to Chicago

John F. Collins, the White SOx out
fielder, passes his thirtieth milestone
today. Collins was born in Charles
town, a Boston suburb, and got his
minor league experience with the
Haverhill and Springfield clubs In
his native state. At the close Of the
1909 season Springfield sold him to
Comiskey, and he has been wearing
white hosiery ever since. John was
a shortstop and second baseman in
his minor league days, and on several
occasions he has covered the initial
sack for Chicago. He batted 1922
with Springfield, but he has never
reached the 800 mark in the majors.
He did his best stick work in 1912,
when his average was .299. This
year he batted .246.

Here is what one issue of The

Coach Rush only two years. The

BLACK GLADDENS
YALE BY DECISION
TO RETURN IN 1917

New Haven, Dec. At is now def
nitely settled that Clinton R. Black,
captain of this years victorious Yale
football team, will again be in the
gridiron uniform when Tad Jones
charges line up for their seasons work
next year. Although Black has been
rated in the junior class on account of
the fact that he is taking the usual
four-year course in three years, he did
not know until very recently that he
would return to finish his course.
1t is very unusual, however, for a
Yale football captain not to finish, and
the action Of Black in deciding to
spend another year at the university
will come as a pleasant surprise.

COLLEGE PLAYERS
ENABLE ARMS TO
HOLD CHAIN eleven
(By Wagner)

The debonair college youths are in
vading professional football and TAX
ing the bread right out of the mouths
of honest working men. Here was
Mike Healy Of the Chain team with
a fine bunch of union players who
worked their eight hours and stopped
when the whistle blew. Then Man
ager Kellam Of the Remington Arms
team crossed him by importing the
backbone Of the Fordham eleven. He
had Lowe, Sweetland and Hendricks
sprinkled in the lineup to say nothing
of a few other outsiders who were
playing under fancy names. Lowe
masqueraded as Brady. He looks like
a movie hero and how he could guard

game he did the kicking and fire.
quently ran down and tackled the
man who caught the ball.
Both teams gave all they had but
they were so strong on defense that
neither could score. The Chain boys
had several chances to tally, all of
which they scorned. In the second
period Reillys short kick gave the
Chain the ball on the Arms Is yard
line but after some futile rushing
Bakos failed in an attempt to kick
a field goal. In the third session
with the ball on the Arms 35 yard
mark Flanagan hurled two forward
passes which narrowly escaped going
into Bakers hands. Eddie Reilly
blocked one and the other went over
the goal line. The Chain players were
inside the Arms 25 yard line on two
other occasions but couldn't advance.
Considering the fact that the Arms
! boys were picked up ap aggregation
they gave a remarkable exhibition.
Their defense was superb. NO'Reilly
and Richardson were sure death to
all plays through the line while Ed
die Reilly was clever at quarterback.
For the Chain Co. Chief Miller was a
bear in the line and so was Capt
Flanagan. Bakos made several STIR
ring dashes and Grunwald reeled off
some good gains. Eddie Lavery
didn't have many chances to run with
the ball but was always there when
called upon.
The Arms did not have as many
opportunities to score as their rivals
and the few they did have were spoil
ed by fumbling. A smooth attack was
not to be expected from a hastily
gathered aggregation however. 1t
was an exciting contest to watch and
was well handled by Referee Waters
and Umpire Quinlan. One Of the
largest crowds OF the season turned
out to see the sport. The lineup:-

THE SOUTH
PRETTY HOME LAND
PEOPLE OF DIXIE AWAKEN no VALUE OF ATTRACTIVE HOO
AND GROUNDS.
BEAUTY MEANS BUSINESS
Henderson County Rural Folk Have CAUGHT ViiOn-SOme Helpful Sugges
tons From Expert. -

There is a widespread movement in
America to make the farm home archi-
tecturally more attractive.
One has but to glance casually over
the periodicals which are devoted es-
pecially to farming and rural interests
to see the truth Of this assertion. Pages
OF live matter are carried each week by
them strongly urging upon the farmer
the necessity for keeping the farm
houses attractive. Building plans are
submitted to show how much can be
done at a very small cost in time, ma
terial and labor to carry out this
movement.
Local Farmers Awake.
That this movement has an especial
~ strong appeal to Henderson county
farmers goes without saying. The
farmers are coming to realize that as
a business getter the attractive farm
stands many times the chance of
drawing visitors that an unattractive
one does. A nicely located home with
good lines and well kept grounds is
worth many dollars to its owner.
The summer visitors to this section
arc divided about equally between the
towns and country. Long ago the
u,han population found out the fnan-
cial value of attractive homes. The
lesson is being learned more slowly
hut none theless surely by those Hen
derson county rural people who throw
open their homes to boarders in the
summer.
An Experts Views.
"Just as old England has become
famed for its scenes of rural beauty.
We must work to make of the rural
South a place of loneliness. Just as
English landscapes are famed the
world owe for their hedges, their
vines and flowers, their green fields.
an0 pretty homes, so must we labor to
make of the South a bonny land" says
a writer in The Progressive Farmer.
First of all, we must get in our
minds a mental picture of our homes
and grounds as we would have them
be, and it is in this picture or plan
that we must be careful to adhere tt
the few fundamentals We shall here
note.
The Farm Home.
"To begin with, the farm home
should sit back from the highway far
enough to be away from the dust ard
afford some privacy. but at the same
time should not be too far away,-wC
should say not less than 400 or 500
feet. The best location is a slight
rise or eminence solping in all direc-
items.
The Barn Placed.
"Tbe farm residence located, it is
essential to the success Of the plan
! to pay attention to the placing of the
barn, barnyard, chicken houses and
i runs, the garden and pastures. Right

actively.
If the editors of the smaller papers
will go to work along this line they
will be able to bring about the most
satisfactory results in all directions.
It is the right idea. The building up
of a region is the common of all
the newspapers and there is no reason
why the editors should not work haT-
moniously and intelligently along such
lines.-Spartanburg Herald.
