COLLINS NOT WORRYING
Never Was a Hold-Out and Never

White SoX Star.

PHlLADELPHIA, December "a
Capt Eddie Collins of the White Sox

club. although his contract has oX-
pired. Eddie'S tiNC-year contract with
the SoX ran ont after the close Of the
world series in the fail, but at his
home in LanSdoWnc he said he did not
expect to have any trouble coming to
terms with Owner Com lSkey when the

COBB GRADUALLY LOSING SPEED.
YEARLY THEFT RECORDS SHOW

A recent remark by Hughie Jen-
nings. manager of the Detroit Tigers
TO the effect that Ty Cobb. base balls
greatest star. has lost some of his
speed. has caused n lot of discussion
around the big league base ball train.
Cobb still is base Sails greatest
player" said Hughie, but / believe
he is beginning TO slow up bit. 1
think last season l began to notice
that Ty didn't make quite the bases
he used to"
Cobb's official batting average does
not indicate that he has gone back.
The mark of 3S4 is his highest since
1913, when he hit $50. The con-
sistency of Cobb is remarkable when
one notes how his batting seldom
varies more than few points a year.
He hit 1888 in 1917. 1892 in 1918 and
1884 in 1919. In the three years prior
to that his average varied only three
points. He hit 1863 in 1914, $40 in
1915 and 81 in 1916.
When one looks over Cobb's 1919
stolen-base record. however. the JUS
tification of jennings remark may
ty-eight bases last season. his lowest
number since 1906, when he played
regularly only part of the season.
His steady decline in speed for the
last five years may he noted from
his stolen-hase records While his
batting averages varied only a few
points his base stealing Shrank from
90 bases in 1915 to 2s in 1919. The

Now that the process of demobiliza-

One of the greatest OF these prob

boys come back to overcrowded cities

have a feeling that there is no place
for them, that their various little

URING the past four years we
have witnessed n great increase
in the price of grains and food,
stufs. Corn advanced from GO cents
to $500 per busbel. Wheat increased
In value during this period from 5000
10 $3.50 per bushel. and the price of
all other grains accordingly. Meat
and animal products rapidly increased
In value. For instance. pork rose in
value from six cents per pound live
weight to % cents per pound. How
ever, there was n exception to this
condition. Poultry prices advanced
only from 1S cents per pound to "A
cents per pound. The price Of eggs
in the preceding seaso during the
spring and summer months varied
from % cents to "a cents per dozen.
There was a reaso for this slow ad-
vance.
Our great country was literally
stocked with poultry. and when grain
prices scared many farmers shipped
their hens and the market was glutted,
