ager of the Albany IN. " club Of
the Glass A Eastern League, was
baseball's champion batsman for

Second place went to Rene Montea-

Washington Senators.
Plans No Major Comeback.
There will be no big league come
back for Collins, unless it should be

bany skipper has a year-around
connection in New York's capital
city, where he doubles in brass as a
goodwill ambassador for a distrib-
uting company and part time radio
sports announcer during the of sea-
son.
Although Collins did lead all base
ball in "A, his playing days almost
are over and he probably would
have been content to direct his
club from the bench if a capable
alternate were available.

SET FOR PASSES

MONTGOMERY, Ala. Dec. %
IP)-Whatever else might happen
in tomorrow renewal of the Blue
Gray football cassie. it's safe to
say they'll throw more passes
than a fellow with loaded dice.
The southern all-star team, its
offensive geared to the bullet-ike
aerials of Charlie Trippi, will rely
on speed and deception to outfla- k
a northern line which averages zoo
pounds
Trippi. backfield star of the
Third Air Force and formerly of
the University of Georgia, has con-
centrated on passing in pre-game
workouts ana as long as Jack
Russell or Curtis Kuykendall are
available as receivers, the South
should make a favorable showing
in the air.
The North, 100, has one Of the
country's top-notch aerial artists
in Bob Hoernschmeyer Of Indi7 ma
and the Blues have devoted much
of their practice in that direction.
Speed is an integral part of the
southern backfield. Trippi is about
as good a runner as he is pass
er. and Kuykcndall, Auburn half
back is probably the fastest man
on either team. He and Russell,
an end who played last season with
Randolph Field, are particularly
adept at getting past the second
airy to grab Trippi's overhead
losses.
Blue-Gray officials predicted to-
day that fair weather might bring
a capacity crowd of 22,500 to
Cramton Bowl At any rate, they
said advance ticket sales indicate
turnout equal to the record 49,
