That's What Managers Who

Edgren Thinks Fines Good
Way to Keep DIRTY"
Boxers Down.
By ROBERT EDGREN.

Frank Chance has joined the list
of baseball managers who oppose golf
playing by ball players during the
ball season. This is a compliment
g golf.
The danger Of golf TO ball players
isn't that golf stakes too much out of
them," as Frank suggests. It's that
the ball players become too much in
terested in golf and are inclined to
give too little attention to learning
the fine points of baseball. What in
terest is there in the intricacies OF
a double steal beside the fascinating
problem of curing slice?
Two years ago Babe Ruth was
fairly on the way to being golf
bug. He spent a winter playing golf
every day down where the sun shines.
He learned how TO hit a tremendous
ball from the tee, and admitted that
he liked to "see 'em ride" Said there
was more fun in hitting a golf ball
than in clouting baseball because
a golf ball travels so far.
After hitting out golf drive with
q 250-yard carry-which I've seen
Ruth do repeatedly-hitting big,
, fat, slow baseball into the right field
bleachers, doesn't look like anything
at all

FLIVVERED COLLINS
DEAL MAYPAIN YANK
PLAYERS MENTIONED
That Yanks Wanted to
Trade Him Will Hardly
Inspire Meusel.

Chicago. March 1G.-Will there he n
reaction from the Eddie Collins deal
that failed TO go through that will
prove detrimental to both the Yankees
and the White Sox?
From the Chicago end of it there
doesn't seem TO be any chance of the
White Sox being weakened. The New
York angle. however. presents an en-
tirely different situation.
Eddie Collins has expressed a desire
that he might play in New York be-
fore finishing his big league career.
The desire of the Chicago club to make
Il trade was not because of poor work
on the part of Collins. 1t was actu-
ated by n desire|to strengthen the club
for the future.
Collins has three or four years OF
good baseball in front of him. He
would have been a great man for New
York. Chicago hoped to get some
pitching material in exchange that
would benefit the Sox. Waite Hoyt
was the man desired.
With New York it is different. Bob
Meusel, whose one great fault in
difference. will certainly not be stirred
to greater efforts since he knows the
New York club was anxious to part
with him. The same holds good for
Second-baseman Ward.
1t is said New York was willing 10
include either Shawkey or Mays in the
deal. but Chicago sought youngster
not veteran pitcher. hence the in
sistence of the White Sox management
on Hoyt.
Collins is undoubtedly disappointed
ut his failure to land New York
berth, but he is the type of player
who will continue TO give his best to
Chicago. 1t is questionable if the same
feeling will exist among the New York
athletes who were mentioned in the
trade.
