EDDIE COLLINS, WHITE SOX,
NOW IN u. s. MARINES

Continued from Page One
til after the war last Thursday, at
Boston.
Eddie had a good day on the occasion
of his final appearance in White SoN
uniform He had a couple of hits and
stolen base and, needless to say
perfect day afeld.
While Eddie was a member of Connie
MaCll's famous baseball machine he was
one of the most popular players that
ever played in Philadelphia. He was
always on the jump in the field and
kept the opposing team guessing when
ever he was on base. He fought for
every break that the game offered, but
he was not a chronic kicker at the UNI
pire He has often been called a COLOR
less player This idea no doubt was
the result of the fact that he realized
that no good could ever come of trying
to put something over on the umpire.
But he was not Colorless player. on
the contrary, his spectacular work al
ways will stand out as one of the il
Eliminating portions of baseball history.
Eddie left the Athletics after their
defeat in 1914 by the Boston Braves in
the worlds series. which Stallings's peo-
pie took in four straight games. He
was sold by Mack to the White SoN
December s of that year for $4,000
the highest price ever paid for the ser
vices of a baseball player.
Collins's sale was negotiated here at
the Bellevue -Stratford Hotel. The whole
affair was done in secrecy. only few
being in on what was occurring Ban
Johnson. Connie Mack. Charley Comis-
KEY and Eddie himself were closeted for
couple of hours. and the deal was
| closed and the check paid then and
there.
| Collins was born at Millertown, \. Y,
| May . 1887. He Is feet 10 inches
high, and weighs $50 pounds. He first
! came into prominence at Columbia Uni
versity. where he played baseball and
| football. He excelled in both branches
! of athletics and finally was persuaded to
plav for the Athletics. He did so at
| first under the assumed name of Sulli-
van in 1906, but in 1907 he resumed mis-
| correct name. For two years he was
kept on the bench, after which he
got place on the regular team ana al
once made good His hitting, fielding
and base running put him in the front
ranks and today he is considered one
of the best ball players in the country
Collins is a left-handed batter and q
right-handed thrower.
Eddie Collins is just the type of MAJ
the United States marines want. He Il
a hard worker and will make as great {
fighter as he was a baseball star II
has ever been known as a player tina
did his best work when the most was a
stake He played better in world!
series games than he did during the sea
son, in spite of the fact that his sea
sons play was as near the pinnacle o
baseball perfection as it is possible 70
a player to get.
He is man of high education an
intelligence. He will rise in the rank

are Just back from trip to the Blue
Ridge Mountains, and the former cele-
brated the journey by hanging up two
records for the courses at the Buena

located in one Of the most scenic sec

member the thrill of other days, when

get under the 100 mark. Later on came
the JOY of going round under 20. ana

helped Off the track
Sutter broke the fork stem on his
bicycle, and when anything like this
happens the cycle is ruined. The mo-
ment he got off the wheel the cycle fell
in parts. Only his remarkable general
ship In the crisis saved him a damaging
SPILL for he was speeding at the rate
of fifty miles an hour when he had the
accident.
Corri Breaks Pace
Frank Corri, the Australian. just had
been Tapped and was riding hard to
overcome this handicap. He was press

possibility, that revision of acre age figures a month from now will show an actual decrease as compar ed with last year. This prospect is due to the fact that up to May 20 from to 9 per cent of the lands intended for cotton had not been planted.
 Late planting last year was one of the chief causes of the short crop. The other was the early frost in the fall. All planting should have been completed by May 10. Rather than risk another season abbreviated at both ends like last year contributed to the farmers school of experience, farmers say they will plant corn. Lands that cannot be planted in suf- ficient time to insure growing sea son of reasonable length will be abandoned to quicker crops.
 A great deal of replanting has been necessary While no figures have been compiled to ascertain the effort required in this direction it is probably safe to say that 25 to 40 per cent of the crop planted did not come up to stand that could be profitably worked, or was killed
 Farmers in their anxiety to be beforehanded in their work were lur- ed by the springlike weather about Easter to plant unusually early. Cold snaps which came along later caught a lot of these plantings in the crook; some was nipped after coming up, and cold rains played the mischief with the seed that remained in the ground
 Texas, Oklahoma, portions of Louis jana. Georgia and South Carolina were especially sufferers from dam age to these early plantings. Seed put in the ground about the average dates for planting in the various To- calities fared better.
 Every correspondent of the sev- eral hundered from replies were re- ceiyed made some mention of the labor situation. With few excep- tjons a shortage was reported. Not withstanding this fact the cores pondent of the opinion that the crop was endangered was also an excep- ton.
 One correspondent prophesied that a greater crop was being planted than could be cultivated. and that more would be cultivated than would be gathered.
 The chopping period will test the labor supply. Wages are high. In many instances 15 year old girls are being paid sl.25 a day and are hard to get at that. For more reasons than one. this crop will be the most expensiye. acre for acre, ever pro duced.
 Florence. Alabama, reports the or f;cial estimate of labor shortage at E per cent, but says the actual short age is very much more. Florence IS in the heart of the most active sec tion industrially to be found in the cotton region states. Mussel Shoals is close at hand To the south are the coal mines and iron idustries of the Birmingham district, and north ward the great preparations for pow
