.1,aS Proves He Can Shoot.
'csSome members Of the team rather
doubted Rips reputation of shooting
a mean gun. The first trip the club
made around the circuit several boys
took Rip to the shooting galleries,
that he might make good. Rip made
good to such an extent that one
gallery owner closed his shop the
second time Rip came around, claim
H. he could break too much stuff
with one shot. Rip was bad for
Business.
Strangely enough. Rip didn't carry
the accuracy of the eye in his arm.
His one fault last season was lack
OF control. When he was able to
get the fast one and the curve over
opposing clubs had a tough time
teloped a streak of wildness. forcing
him to let up on his stuff to get
the ball over. Usually those lapses
of control resulted disastrously.
Collins pitched many good game
last year. the kind Of a game that
destined to become a star. I UNI
pired a game back of him at the
Polo Grounds in which he had all

Polo Grounds. and it is customary
for the players who live in that
,neighborhood to cut back through
the park and up through the grand
stand This caused me to bump into
Collins one day as I was making my
way for the elevated.
"How did 1 look today?" asked
Collins.
walter Johnson never was any

1t was confidence. not egotism.

keep on pitching like that and
they never will send you back to the
old Texas League" I replied
THAT is what is troubling me-"
said Collins. I'm not so crazy about
the big show. 1t is too serious.
Say, If I pitched a game like that
down in the Texas League the man
ager would let me go hunting or
fishing until it was my turn to work
again. Up here they are liable to
use me as relief pitcher tomorrow
because Of the good showing made
today"
That reply is Collins all over. He
isn't so sure right now but that he
would rather be back in Texas.
Collins has a quick answer. I was
sitting on the New York bench one
day, discussing the speed OF pftcherS.
1t was pretty generally agreed Wal
ter johnson had a title more stuff
on the ball than any one else. At
this stage Collins butted into the
conversation

Plays That Puzzle
=BY BILLY EvANs=

The other day I received the fol-
lowing query. which possibly has
often puzzled, many lovers of the
game. During an American League
game the coacher at third strenuous
ly objected to the 4decisionsof the field
umpire over play; at the far cor
ner. The field umpire sent him to
the bench because of his protest. An
other player took his place as coacher
and the game was resumed. Late in
the game a pinch hitter was desired
by this team and the manager select
cd the coacher who had been sent to
the bench He came through with a
base hit that won the game. How
do umpires regard such a happening?
Base Hit Is Legal.
In the major leagues if an umpire
sends coacher to the bench for
getting too officious it means that
as a coacher he is through for the
day. He can still be used, should
his manager desire to send him in as
pinch hitter or as a regular. The
base hit he made was legal. accord
ing to the viewpoint of major league
umpires. OF course, when a player
Is sent off the field to the clubhouse
under no conditions can he be used
later in the game.

muddy track that had about dried

was run. Fifteen thousand gathered

The principal event, the Inaugural

was a lopsided favorite his victory
pleased the majority of the spectators.
He got away first. but st. Isadore

into the stretch Tippity Witchet,
