DEAL FOR COLLINS
Eddie Comes Here and Takes
Hand i'm Dicker for His
Conversion.

Eddie Collins dashed into town yester-
day morning from his home near Phila-
delphia and took hand in the movement
which has been started for his conver-
sion into a Yankee. Eddie seemed to be
greatly pleased over the chance Of be-
coming a New York chattel. AS for the
trade. it did not make much progress
Both sides reported at a late hour that
they were stymied, but expressed hope
that decision would be arrived at to-
day.
Miller Higgins, Col. Rupert and Ed
Barrow held a conference with Louis
Comiskey and Kid Gleason. After a
while they came out shaking their
heads. I'VE cannot agree and we seem
to be farther away from aSsettlement
than We ever were." said Hu. Sins. He
indicated that the White Sox had
broached a trade of four Yankees for
two Chicago players-or three Yankees
for one member of the White Sox. In
sci. Hoyt and Mcmillan for Collins and
Bib Falk-or the first three named
Yankees for Collins alone Obviously
that demand is out of reason.
Connie Mack reported last night that
he had refused two offers of $4,000 for
Jimmy Dykes, his chunky second base
man. He would not say which clubs
had made the offers. Officials of the
Yankees could not be found. 1t may be
that. having despaired of getting Collins
at reasonable terms, Higgins made a
bid for the second baseman Of the Ath-
lctics.

action. William f. Baker made his
