New York, March B. Baseball
has known many mighty men und
high In the list o fhurors stands the
clan of Collins.
There was a great third baseman,
Jimmy Collins of Hoston, and one of
the name still plays with the Ameri
can league team In tho Hay State
capital, John (Shuno) of IMJtsfkdd,
Mass. There was si 111 another tho
lefthanded pitcher. Hay. and he also
found a haven with the lied -Sox
after leaving the 1'nlvorslty of Ver
mont. It Ip Collins pitched for the
Yankees at ono time. They were
numerous.
Today, however, the name Collins
can m. an only the marvelous Kd-
ward Trowbridge of Lansdowne,
l'a and the Chicago White Sox,
who once desert ed the clan and
culled himself Sullivan as a mem
ber of Connie Mack's Athletics.
That happened In tha days when
money was money and Kddie was a
student at Columbia university.
The year 1923 finds Collins estab
lished as one of tho game's greatest
second basemen anil manager of the
club that he 1ms served for 11 years.
His lot is that of Cobb, Speaker,
Sisler and Harris star to manager
and it 1b probable that the exper
ienced Charley Comlskey, president
of the White Sox. drew upon the
experience of Clark Griffith of the
Washington Senators In sending his
keystone man after a pennant.
Collins found his way to Phlla
delphia's ball parks in 1906 and
played shortstop and third base In
eight games. In X 97 he played
shortstop during ten contests, made
a record which the books found too
small to record, and erased the
name "Sullivan." As second base
man, third baseman and shortstop in
1 9'i S he played in 102 battles and
batted .273.
Here the marvelous quartet that
was to become one of the most re
nowned Infield combinations In base
ball went into action with Stuffy Jlc

Teamwork Triumphs Over In
dividual Play in Close Game
Superior teamwork enabled th
South Church to win over tho Colon,
ials at the Boys' club last night, al
though tho losers fought all tho way
and held the Congrcgatlonailsu
down to a 30-23 win. Tho Colonials
dribbled excessively, frequently scor.
lug but mora frequently losing the
ball, while tho South Church passed
the sphere around with greater ac
curacy thau It has shown In any of
Its recent games.
The contest was featured by long
shots on both teams, those of tho
winners being many and sensational.
Adams started things with a nifty
long heave and Kilduff added a point
on a foul, llavllck counted from
afield, but Parker shot a lengthy
one through the hoop. Vctrano
dribbled up to score, and the game
grew faster and close. Klrst one team
took the lead ond then tho other,
while the scoro was tied timo and
again during the first half. Kilduff,
Parker, Adams and Klelst were scor
ing shots from all angles, but llav
llck and Vetrano kept tho Colonials

Take for instance, Harry Hooper,
veteran outfielder of the White Sox.
Hooper came Into the majors

ho was a member of the famous
Boston lied Sox outfield, composed
of Hooper, Speaker and Lewis,
which has often been called one of
the game's greatest. In 1921 lni

since remained.

A
glance at his batting record for the
past 10 years will vouchsafe; that
remark.
In 1914 Hooper hit .258, . re
markably low figure for a regular
outfielder. -Five years later, or in
1919, Me clouted .207, a slump of
nine poinls. And, another five
years 1924 found him hitting .328,
a leap of 61 points.
Thus over a stretch of 10 years
Hooper succeeded in elevating his
average a total of 70 points. In
other words, he reached a higher
figure In the batting columns last
season than he has ever done during
his major league career.

Cambridge, Mass., March B,' For
tha seventh successive season, Rob
ert T. "Bob" FiBher, will be head
coach of Harvard's football team.
His uppointment for the 1925 sea
son, announced last night, ended
long drawn-out deliberations and
complications unprecedented In the
history of football at Harvard. The
committee stated that Coach Fisher
had consented to withdraw his re
cent announcement that ho would
retire from coaching.
I'pon his own recommendation
and that of the graduate advisory
committee, Major Charles D. Daly,
I.', fi. A., and Leo If. Leary, were
named as assistants to Fisher. Italy,
former Harvard quarterback , and
coach of football at West Point, will
come to Harvard as head of the Re
serve Officers' Training corps unit
this summer. He had been promin
ently mentioned as a possible suc
cessor to Fisher, tofter the lattcr's
announcement of his retirement ow
ing to pressure of business Febru
ary 4, last.
Leary was active head of the
Harvard grid squad in 1910 when
Berry V. Haughton relinquished tho
position of head coach. Leary is
expected to have charge of the
ends and Daly of the backfield this
season.
Fisher, twice named as all-Ameri-
of the half, the South Church dashed
out in front by 21-17.
Tho second half 'saw both teams
putting up more slalwart defense,
with a consequent lessening of the
scoring. Tha Colonials rallied, but
Parker broke up a dribble, did some
bounding on his own account, and
scored. Adams followecl suit and
the South Church left the Colonials
hopelessly in the rear.
The score:
South Church.

The information from the Rrook

had announced that Vance was un

and would not sign a contract which
included the ten-day release clause.
Ebbets explained that the National

clauso be inserted, so Dazzy quit

Taylor s'till are to be signed and
