Bagby pitched a three-hitter
against the Tigers in the opener
and gathered two of the six hits
the Tribe got off 36-year-old
Tommy Bridges. More impor-
tant however, the Cleveland
pitcher, who also beat Detroit in
the 1912 opener, belted long
fly in the ninth inning that scor-
cd cX-Tiger Roy Cullenbine with
the winning marker.
Cullenbine opened the in
ming by working Bridges for
pass. Otto Denning famed,
but Warren Buddy ROsar,
winter acquisition from the
New York Yankees, doubled
for his third hit. Cullenbine
stopping at third. Bridges
walked Ray Mack intention
ally, and then O'NeiIl called
huddle at the pitchers
mound.
1t was decided to keep Bridges
i'm the game, and Bagby hit the
second pitch to right field deep
enough to permit Cullcnbinc to
score after the catch.
Against Bagby, whose father
was batterymate of O'Neill, the
Tigers advanced only two men
beyond first base. In the sixth
Joe Hoover, making his major
league debut as Detroits short
stop, dropped single in left
and moved around to third on
infield outs. Roger Cramer then
blasted low liner that Ken
keltner stabbed at third base for
a spectacular catch.
In the ninth Bridges beat out
a hit and was sacrificed TO sec
ond, but he stayed there as Rip
Radcliffe and Dick Wakefield
went out.
For five innings. Bridges
matched this kind of pitching
before q slim crowd of 3,847
chilled spectators. Tommy got
into relatively small trouble
several times thereafter before
the Indians put on their WIN
ming rampage in the ninth.
The Tigers and Indians are
idle tomorrow but play a single
game Saturday and a double
header Sunday. The Tigers open
at home next Tuesday against
the st. Louis Browns.

Tenth of a series
BY HARRY GRAYSON
NEA Sports Editor

Like Honus Wagner and Tyrus
Cobb, Napoleon Lajoie and Ed
ward Trowbridge Collins, the
greatest of second basemen,
were opposite in all respects ex-
cept ability
Stable Larry Lajoie was
phlegmatic and graceful.
Eddie Collins, standing no
more than five feet eight and
weighing only 100 pounds, was
the nervous, jumpy type.
Cocky Collins simply had to
be doing something, and it usual
" did the other side no good.
That was the only explanation
for his nickname, for one of the
more remarkable things about
him was the control he had over
a fiery temper and fighting
spirit. And despite the greatness
that made him the rival of Ty
Cobb for years, he was modest
and unaSSumIng.
SUCCESS FOLLOWS COLLINS
Collins was the keystoner and
keynoter of two of the most
accomplished clubs that ever
took the field-the Philadelphia
Athletics, who won four pen
nants in five years, 1904, and
the Chicago White Sox. who
came down in front in IT and
turned out to be the Black Sox
when they duplicated the per-
Torrance in 10.
The fact that such an import
ant member of the party did
not become involved in base
balls darkest chapter is perhaps
the strongec evidence of the
strength of character that has
kept Collins in baseball for 81
years-as one of the foremost
players, manager, coach and for
the past 10 years vice president
and general manager of the Bos-
ton Red Sox.
Kid Gleason, who managed
the White Sox, considered Col
Inns the greatest player, who
ever stepped onto the diamond.
Connie Mack tells you that no
other player quite matched Col
Inns in everything and at the
same time was such fine team
man.
Collins was the quickest
thinker l ever saw teStifies
Billy Evans, the old umpire.
Gleason put Collins on top be-

cause of his hitting, fielding,
base running, knowledge, ability
to handle other players and be-
cause his head was working all
the time. Gleason said Collins
was more dangerous in a pinch
than any player he ever saw.
Collins was put out-of games
on no more than a half dozen~ec-
casionS, and he holds the major
league record for longest serv-
ice as a combatant-25 years.
Mack. Gleason and OF h er S
stressed the cooperation and
tremendous amount of help he
gave his manager.
ONLY COBB STOLE MORE
Collins, generally considered
the smartest second baseman of
them all, lef a lifetime batting
mark of 1888 Only Cobb topped
his 744 stolen bases, and he sd
the Georgia Peach in lawful
larceny in &c different seasons.
Cobb's maximum was 90 in is,
Collins 81 in 10.
Collins thrice topped Cobb in
Batting at a stage in their Illus
trious careers when ordinary
players would long since have
been washed up.
With all his accomplishments,
Kid Gleason said he Wouldn
dream Of measuring Collins
value merely by the plays he
executed, added that the CO.
lumbia collegian had credit
coming on many plays pulled
by others.
Yet Eddie Collins perhaps is
best remembered as the victor
in his memorable foot race with
Heinic Zimmerman, who chased
him across the plate in the 1917
world Series.
Such is fame.
