pills, I TO z
Mitehells Are Striving Desperately
TO Insure That Extra 500
of Series Coin.

Chicago, Sept. 17.-With Grover
Cleveland Alexander pitching, to
make sure that the Cubs hold on to
third place in the pennant race and
thereby grab the prospective $500
apiece. the North Siders trimmed
the Phillies in the final game of
the series yesterday, to .. Aleck
was in form, as he has been since
some date about midseasOn, and it
didn't make any difference to him
that he had taken only q. couple of
days of rest
The Cubs raked a run over the
plate in the fourth inning, and that
probably would have won for Aleck
if il had been necessary. AS il
turned out, the Cubs got a lot more
runs for him, so that the tally
scored by the enemy in the eighth
and the one in the ninth we're
harmless. Aleck was in form.
That was all that was necessary.
Ames Opposes Cubs.
Manager Cravath sent the old
timer, Leon Kessling Ames, to the
slab to oppose Aleck. Ames was
supposed t. be through as a pitch
er some three or four years ago,
when he still was with McGraw
Anyway, McGTaw let him go TO St.
Louis, and when anybody is let go
to St. Louis, he is supposed to be
through. But in Ames' case. he
dragged along with st. Louis until
he was cast off this summer, and
when a fellow is cast off by St.
Louis he is supposed to either quit
baseball entirely or buy a ball club
and be a boss. However, Ames did
neither, but was picked up by the
Phillies, who have been picking up
things all summer. Score:

SOX ARE IDLE on
ANNIVERSARY OF
COLLINS DEBUT

New York, Sept. 17.-Yesterday
was the anniversary Of the first
major league game in which Capt.
E. Trowbridge Collins of the White
Sox ever participated and he and
his pals were obliged to spend it in
idleness because it rained just
enough at exactly the right time to
permit Higgins to call off the bout
with the Yankees and book double
header for today.
Thirteen years ago yesterday aft
ernoon Eddie Collins debuted in
fast company as a member of the
Athletics in a game against the
White Sox, played in Chicago at the
old Thirty-ninth street park. His
name does not appear in the box
score of that combat because Col
Inns had still la year Of college work
before obtaining his degree from
Columbia university and did not
want TO turn professional unless
pretty sure he could make good.
Starts Out as Sullivan.
Consequently he played under
the name of Sullivan, which was
the first cognomen that popped into
Connie Mack's head when t e
scribes asked him who that spry
new infelder of his was. Sullivan"
made good in that fall of 1906 and
the following year played under
his own name, which has since
become Synonymous with the king
of keystone sackers.
Collins broke into the American
league as a shortstop alongside Of
Dave Shean at second base and
made a base hit, besides accepting
six chances without an error the
first time out That was a fair start
for college amateur.

though he might play end or tackle
on the varsity this fall. HammeIs
and Wick. the Toledo youth who
won his M at center last fall, are
the only new men to report yes
