which so to show that the Ieaguers

In this department sergeant West

It can be safely accredited to the

break In the matter Of games played
In hitting the army boys are not 50

heavy stickWOrk Of ChacOn, Brown

such a good average, and that the

this respect A review of the scores
can be seen in the table below.
The army team during the past

This particular player L valuable

Of his fighting ability and SPORT.

He is the star around which Clar-

Cost Big Amount.
When Comiskey planked down $50

in 1919 he knew what kind OF a ball
player he was getting. It was no gam
bic with Commy, and he was willing
to pay the price, big as It was. for
that year he determined to build q
club that would bring a worlds title
10 the Windy city and he has sue
ceeded admirably well
When COmmy got Collins he
got the kfuEpin around which the
White SOx are built. without him
In the lineup the SOx would be
like big ocean liner without her

In no particular direction
Collins is toe lad who holds the Sox
IN the course His presence on the
infield lends confidence and dash TO
the rest Of the players and his quick
brain does the rest
Eddie was the brightest star Of the
recent series with the Giants. He hit
400 and fielded perfectly in the six
games. He made some wonderful
stops thar cut off hits when a hit
might have turned the tide Of battle.
and ne did II all in the matter OF fact
