Eddie Collins, star second stacker
of the White Sox, is sure in strong
with old Dame Fortune. While some
Of the premier ball players Of the
majors, including Nap Lajoie, have
gone through career without a
single look in at worlds series hon.
ors, the former athletic star will
have played in six out Of the fifteen
post-season battles when the curtain
falls on this years classic.
He and his old team mate, Jack
Barry, hold the record as the most
worlds serted" players of the game.
Barry has been member of six win
ners, but he played in only five
series, broken arm in 1916 having
kept him from active work in the
series.
In addition to the honor of having
played in the most worlds champion
ship games, Collins had profited i'm
mensely by the smile of the little god
Luck, which has given him five large
slices of the worlds series coin and
one small hunk. BY another piece of
luck he did not take part In the
series when "slim years. prevailed.
1t is estimated that the extra money
which came to him from this source
runs around $4,000.
His first divvy of the extra coin
came with the Athletics when they
won the worlds championship in
1910. He was with them when they
repeated in 1911 and in 1913, when
the Braves made the Athletics take
the small cut of the pie in 1914 he
had another piece. Then he was
traded to the White Sox and cut In
again on the coin in 1917 and this
year he repeats for even a larger
share which seems probable with
the increase of the series to nine
games.

CHARLIE COM1NSKEY.

No more picturesque figure is
prominent in baseball today than
Charles Conuskey, the "Old Roman"
president of the pennant winning
White Sox.
He has been in baseball's spotlight
for twenty-seven years as manager,
owner and an authority on the ma
tional game. He is the big boss now
of a team that has never lost a
worlds series decision. Twice the
White Sox have landed a pennant
and as many times they have nosed
out the National League entry in the
big classic.
Comiskey first became prominent
as manager of the Cincinnati Reds in
1892, 1898 and 1894. He was not a
bowling success in that capacity, the
team finishing fifth, sixth and tenth
respectively under his guidance. His
big step came in 1900 during the
fight between the National and
American League. He was one of
the principal factors. He helped or
ganize the western wing of the
league and later acted on the COM
mittee which met anu declared a
truce with the older league. When
the league got under way in 1901 he
became president of the Chicago
club and has held that position ever
since. He had the honor of heading
the first American League pennant
winner.

The flattering statement of a
writer that she reads my column
and finds it interesting, hardly
talies with her question as to
the advisability of picking up"
young men on the streets for the
purpose of becoming acquainted
with them.
We have had this subject "out"
so many times in this column and
always the answer has been, don't.
We had a symposium regarding
haphazard acquaintances some
months ago, and l was under the
impression that about every one
in Washington wrote to The
Times his or her opinion about
picked up" acquaintance.
It was then decided by a con-
sensus Of opinion that a self-re-
speeding girl did not make friends
in this reckless fashion. That
the men she became acquainted
with under such circumstances
did mot regard themselves as
bound to treat her with any de-
gree of respect, and that making
friends in this way submitted her
to humiliating experiences. That
she might be more lonely if she
remained at home in her board
ing house than if she took the
desperate chances of making
curbstone friendships, but that,
on the whole, loneliness was more
preferable.
Not long ago, had a letter
from a girl "war-worker" who
told me of an experience of hers
in regard to a "picked up" friend
ship. She met the young man
in the street and became &C
quainted after the usual exchange
of informalities. A few evenings
afterward, he invited her out in
his car; she protested at his be
havior but not sufficiently to
refuse to make another engage
ment with him.
On this occasion, he took her
out in Virginia and his behavior
so affronted her that the girl called
10 occupants of a passing car.
The car did not stop, and the
young man, after calling her
"impostor" and other things told
her she could get out and walk
home. He said he had picked
her up and an acquaintance be-
gun this way did not call for
"squeamishness."
The girl was glad to get out
of the car and started on a six
mile walk back to the city. She
was afraid, after her recent ex-
periences, to ask for . G il

had almost feared that the mon
dance hall fiends' and perpetual
pleasure seekers" were a remem-
brance OF the past.
The following extract, which
speaks for itself. contains the mes
sage which I should like to en-
phasize-"We do not dance. for we
can't spare the time to learn and
afterward attend the dances. The
kind of associates we desire to meet
will not be found in the dance
halls"
Many Of our present-day young
folks appear to believe that the
dance hall Is a place to spend
every evening and that having COM
pleteIy mastered the art" they
have arrived at the zenith of power.
Our young friends have discov-
cred another way in which to spend
their evenings for both pleasure
and profit, and should not be dis
couraGed in not being successful in
attracting the men," for the men
whom they will attract will be the
right kind. EX-SOLDIER.
It would seem from this soldiers
letter that the well-bred, self-re-
speeding girl does have admirers,
though it is more difficult to be-
come acquainted with her than
with the girls who are less fas-
tidious in their methods. l hope
some kind fate may be instru-
mental in introducing these nice
girls to men who will APPRECIATE

No, do not think the young man
shows the least evidence Of caring
for you. On the contrary, it would
be impossible to think Of any one
being placed in a more humiliating
position than you we're, when the
young man asked you to meet him

two other girls.
Why girls with a fraction Of

the following:
am a Government employee
resident of Washington, and with
other girl friends, also residents OF
this city, agree that a girl Is not
respected who allows herself to be

a war worker. who came here to

time, insists that girl can act thus
and still retain her self-respect.
