McGraw and Jimmy Collins
Were Best Third Sackers

est OF them all around third. As a
member OF the old Oriole cast he was
n great hitter. a fine bunter and n
star base-runner. 1t is needless TO
add that he was also n hard fighter.
So we won't add IT. He was also a
flrst-class infielder. and IN this depart
ment his play fell below that of Col
Inns. Collins was something more than
the most graceful of all third basemen
and the most effective. He was also
an exceptionally stout athlete at bat.
His average here doesn't quite range
with that of McGraw, but he was good
enough 70 drive out a 80 or a $40
clip and hold 1t over a long route.
When IL came to infield play at third
he certainly had no superior. for he
not only had no weakness here, but
was in addition an alert, resourceful
workman who could take good care of
any detail sent his way.
Collins was a marvel. and a marvel
over a long stretch. He and Bill Brad
ley were the two third basemen who
carried the greatest combination of
ability and grace. Collins was the star
member of Boston's two National
League championships in 1897 and 1898.
He was also a star member OF Bos-
tons two American League champions
in 1903 and 1901.
He proved his greatness in two
leagues.
So. taking his combined fielding and
batting ability against that of Nc
Graw, Collins wins the place. McGraw
was a trifie his superior on attack, but
as a fielder there was no great coma
parison, Collins leading by a number
of strides.

Baltimore. Nd. Dec. 1o.-whIle the
nerves OF local pugdom were slowly re-
covering yesterday from the effects OF
Monday nights spectacular bantam
battle at the Lyric between KID Will
Iiams. the local Wolf Boy. and Johnny
Ertle. of st. Paul. the Peerless Ath-
letic Club came forward with practical
assurance that the mighty little maui
ers viii be matched for a return whirI
in this city. Almost before the last
shout had died awaysat their historic
encounter. the rivals, through their
managers and advisers. were trying TO
put their ducks in a row IN another ef-
fort to decide the supremacy Of the
chief contenders for Pete Herman's
crown. Two years ago In St Paul
Williams and Ertle met and the latter
quit I'm the nth round. claiming foul.
Consequently. there came up a great
discussion as TO the better man. and.
again, after going u thrilling rounds
In this city. they ind themselves no
closer to a decision.
Tom Andrews. acting as adviser for
the Ertle camp. believes his charge
should have been awarded the verdict,
but declares he has no reason TO Ques-
ton the honesty Of Referee Buck Alex
ander. who decided that matters were
too even to render a decision TO either
contestant. Anybody II likely to
make mistake" says Tom. I'VE are
willing TO thresh II out again in Balti-
more over the 15-round route, but j
understand that there is no place here
in which the fight could be staged
larger than the Lyric. I am o. the
opinion that the encounter would raw

He prefers that It be staged in one
