By JAMES J. CoRBEr1

Eddie Collins is the most valuable man I have ever seen in ball club,' insisted William ("Kid") Gleason. the combines everything that makes up greatness; brains, courage. hitting abil- ity. speed and baseball instinct
 Collins has a heart of oakland a splendid disposition. Nothing ever flus- ters him and nothing ever discourages him. Whether the team is far in the lead or far behind, Collins is always working and always fighting. The most terrific handicaps do not dishearten him at all. Collins has few superiors as a natural batsman and is one of the most scientific in the game. And he's just about as fast on the sacks as any man that lives today,
 Collins is a fielder par excellent and a man with splendid throwing arm. He always knows just what to do with the ball when he gets it. He is one of the quickest thinking men on the diamond and this, aided by his almost uncanny baseball instinct aids in making him marvel.
 T have known men who could hit for had it on him a little in baserunning or who were his peers in fielding. And 1 have known some as brainy as Col lins and as courageous. But I know of no one man who combines within one human frame all of the baseball abi1- ity of Eddie Collinss
 When the nominations are made for the "luckiest baseball player of all time," it might be very we'll to enter that of Ray Caldwell, who now is de- livering starboard curves for the Bos- ton Red Sox.
 If ever man has been paid remark ably well for accomplishing but little in lifting his team toward the crest. Caldwell is the man. He has been a major league performer since 1911 and during that time has been backed up by some great ball clubs. Just the same, through all those years, Cald- well has been able to compile a grand pitching average of .460--a mark med iocre at it's best.
 Yet Dame Fortune has made it pos sible for Ray Caldwell to draw down through all that time a salary that perhaps has been eo1ipsed only by what is being paid to Walter Johnson, Grover Alexander, Jim Vaughn and a few of the others.
 During the Federal league warfare Caldwell Jumped to the outlaw cir cult for a salary reported to have been $500. He was bought back into or ganized baseball but made the shift only upon the condition that the Yan- kees assume his Federal league con- tract, which was for three years at that excessively high figure for. such a pitcher.
 Here is Ca1dwelrs record from the

 Four of the Baltimore Orioles of more than 25 years ago continue con- spicuously in the big league limeligs- The quartet is plotting major league out fits an deach and everyone is doing so with more than passing success.
 John McGraw, Wilbert Robinson, William C"kid") Gleason and Hughie Jennings constitute the 'Old Guard" And it must make each of them smile when they compare their salaries of this day when they are quarter of century beyond their playing prime, with that they used to get when they were starring afield for the scrappiest baseball aggregation that ever ex- isted.
 McGraw, as manager of the Giants, is drawing down s30,O00 a year. al- though he was perfectly satisfied when ranked as the premier third sacker, to work for $2000 Hughie Jennings, who used to get $500 for leading the Tigers and eating a few pounds of grass each year. Gleason, who was paid $500 by the Baltimore management, gets $10,- poo for, bossing the White Sox, and Robinson, the Oriole catcher at $500 year. now hicks Charlie Ebbets' bank roll for $12,0o0.
