Funeral Of Famous Jimmy Collins To Be He'd Tuesday

Buffalo, N, Y,, March 8,--(UP)- Funeral services will be held to. morrow for James J. tJimmyJ Col lins, 73, ono of the last of base- balls old.tlMc greats, who died Sat- urday in Willard Fillmore hospital after q l0.day losing fight against pneumonia.
 Taken Ill two weeks ago, tho az. ing Collins had been confined to the hospital since Feb, %, He rallied briefly on two occasions in his game light for life, but tho disease slow. ly sapped his remaining strength, until death came shortly before Il 0, m.
 A Buffalo Sandlot product, and a native Of nearby Niagara Falls, the short-statured Collins began his pro- fessional career as shorts,op for the Buffalo Blsons in the old Eastern league in 1893,
 The Boston Braves purchased Col lins two years later, and he played for that club and Louisville In the Eastern league where he shifted from the outiield to third base, He was a sensation around the "hot corner" and the Braves recalled him from their farm club. Prom 1896 until 1900. he was thrd base guard ian for the Braves. Although he weighed only l60 pounds n his prme Collins packed enough power to lead the Natonal league in home runs in 1898 with l5.
 In 1901, a seasoned and brilliant player, Collins became manager of the Boston Red SoX. and under his shrewd leadership the club won the American league pennant in 1903. The Red Sox went on to win the first modern world series by winning 5 Of 8 games against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
 Collins led the Red Fox to an- other flag fin 1904. in one of the most dramatic plays in baseball history The New York Yankees and the Sox battled down to the last day of the season, when they met in a double header. The Tanks needed the two games to win the pennant. and sent their ace pitcher Jack Chesbro to the mound against Wild Bill Dineen
 For seven Innings Chesbro held the Sox in the palm of his hand and was working nicely with 2-C lead. Then the Sox tied the score and in the ninth inning the Yankee twirllng ace wild-pitched home the winning run. The Tanks won the second game, but the Sox won the pennant.
 During the days of the dead ball, Collins had a lifetime batting aver age of .2o4 and in 1906 matched the American .league's third basemen record by playing i50 games in one season. He played in l.7le games and collected 1909 hits, including 63 home runs. His lifetime fielding average was .020.
 Collins wound up his major league career with the Philadelphia Ath- letics in 1903 and retired after pilot Ing Minnearoils in 1909, and Provi- dcncc n 1910,

Redwings, B!ackhawks,
 Rangers, Leafs Tie
By United Press

The Detroit Red Wings added one point to their National Hockey league lead Sunday night as they came from behind in the last period to earn a 3 to deadlock with the Chicago Blackhawks.
 The New York Rangers meanwhile were staging a four-goal rally in the final session to earn a 5 to 5 tic with the Toronto Maple Leafs before a crowd of i3,48l at Madison Square Garden.
 Toronto and the Rangers were even in the first on respective goals by Gaye Stewart and Lynn Patrick, Then the Leafs stepped in front as Bob Davidson. Jack F0rsey and Bud Poile hit the net in the second. The Rangers then rallied on two goals by Bryan Hextall and one each by Pat rick and Vic Myles to go in front. Stewards second goal at I7:l0 then earned the Leafs their tie.
 Chicago grabbed an early lead on the Red Wings on goals by M. Bentley and Dahlstroln. Howe pulled Detroit up in the second but Purpur tallied again for Chicago in the third before Carveth found the net twice to give the Wings their deadlock.

Chanee and Ester Spargo were Inc only other members of the Tigers to show up. These three deserve bou- quets for their attendance during the season while their other three teammates deserve nothing but onions.
 one of the oddities Of the season happened last week when voices in the audience could be heard root- Ing for the LGathernecks, It wns tho first time thls season we have heard anyone roofing for them and no wonder. These voices belonged to members Of the Doughboys and had the Rangers triumphed In that last game they were as good aS "in", Fate saw to 1t though that the Rangers weren't going to do any clinching n whole week before the season ends.
 Some dope on the big battle this week The Rangers will meet the Doughboys for the champion ship Of the Patriotic Pin league that much is certainty. Whether the championship will be decided this Friday Is q horse of n difTer- ent color. That depends on the fol- lowing:
 1. The Rangers can win the pen- nant by taking two of the three games plryed.
 ?. The Doughboys can win the pennant only by winning all three games
 3. The two teams will tie for the championship if the Doughboys win two of the three games and should this happen and the Leathernecks win three from the Bombadiers all three teams will be tied.
 The Doughboys have whipped the Rangers In their last five out of six meetings but the teams are all square for the season at six apiece. This column rates the match as an even money bet. The Doughboys can win if Benny Stokes has a big night, an exceptionally big night. The Rangers can win if they hit their averages and don't let the pressure get the best of them as 1t nearly did in last weeks games.
 After leading the league for twenty-two consecutive weeks the

Notes


 The Rangers Clung tenaciously to their one game lead by taking q thrilling match from Teddy Cough lins Leathernecks by a 2-l mar gin. The defeat practically elim. hated the Marines from the title chase although mathematIcally they still have c chance to tic for the lead.
 With every ball having a distinct bearing on their respective teams pennant hopes. the pressure on the rival bowlers wes terrific, and be- cause of this there wasn't a score in the whole set to brag about ex- cept Captain Coughlin's 132 in the finale. This nifty game by Ted incidentally, kept his teams faint championship hopes alive for every one of the Rangers beat their man in this contest. Ted's margin how ever more than made up for the deficit az he beat his man by 36 pins and the Leathernecks won the match by l0 naples.
 With the Rangers and Leather necks engaged in the old art of throat cutting. Benny Stokes and his band of DoIlghboys were pick ing up some valuable ground by wal- ioping the absent riddled Flying Tigers for three games and HOW find Themselves but one game out of first place.
