COLLINS
BY Condo
BY PAUL PURMAN

For two years there has been
a feeling in baseball circles
that so long as the Red Sos ma
chine held together and played
the same kind Of baseball as II
showed In 1915 and 1916, no
club on the circuit would be
able TO beat IL.
Two reasons have been given for
this. both OF which are sound base
bail axioms.
~ The Red Sox have been
able to beat teams they had to
beat 10 win.
(2) The Red Sox have been
able to play for one run and
hold Il.
The first Is an attribute OF only
such a team as the Red Sox. "A club
composed OF money players who
can face the most crucial tests with
out wavering, and play better base
ball under a strain than their oppo-
nents.
Last season this was evidenced
in the last series with the Tigers,
a series that meant the pennant to
the club that won. The Tigers
broke under the strain. and the Six
went on into the world series.
The second rs based on mechan-
ical play. With wonderful pitch
ing and air-tight fielding. such az
Boston has had for two seasons. a
one-run lead ia equal TO a much
larger advantage for some other
club.
The best reason for believing
that the White Sox. and not the
Red Sox. will be on the top Of the
heap at the end OF this season ls
that these rules are not holding
out this year.
