Athletics Second Baseman Pays Tribute to Nationals

Great Twirler Other Sporting Gossip

DECLARES EDDIE COLLINSII

By WILLIAM PEETAnother great ball player pays tribute

to Walter Johnson the Nationals famouspitcher

Eddlo Collins the Athletics whirlwindsecond sacker in answer to a letter fromono of Washingtons thirtythird degreefans says I consider Walter Johnsonspitching the speediest I over faced andto my mind he is the greatest twirlerIn the game today

The foregoing statement was over Col-

lins signature in a letter to Mr J IIHapp of 6J1 F street Tho latter whoIs a total stranger to Colliiw was cu

to know what the little secondbaaman thought of the Nationals idoland took the liberty to write and askhim

Collins is not the only ball player whoregards Johnson as the best ever forLarry Lajole Trls Speaker Ty Cobband others have expressed to tho writerthe same sentiments

It would seem that Jim JCcAlears con-

tention to the effect that tho AllStarsunder his managerial wing which savebftttlo to the Athletics for a fivegameseries prior to tho big show could beatany baseball aggregation on earth hasbeen fully justified in view of the recent trouncing Macks men handed theCubs

Billy Sullivan the White Sox catcheralways conservative came out In an em-

phatic manner supporting MeAleeraclaim It was tho grandest ball clubthat over food a pitcher the veteransaid during a fanfest in the Aldlne Hotellobby last week and the Chicago Cubswould have no more chance than a rabbitof beating us bad It been possible toarrange a series of games

A local afternoon paper Wednesdaypublished a sears bead story about seri-

ous football accWocts this season to threehigh school players but did not go intodetails and explain how the boys happened to be Hurt

Kmnmlein the Western center rushwas the roost badly Injured of the threone of the small bones in the left anklebeing fractured when an Eastern playerduring a scramble for the ball stepped-

on the footTew the Tech captain who had to

leave the TeehBustoess game test weekstrained the ligaments of his right shoul-

der in falling but will be In good shapefor tfie Central game two weeks off

McCaffrey the Eastern end rush playedthroughout most of Western gamewith two fingers on hh right hand boundin plaster of paris casts McCaffrey washurt In the Central last week whena Central player stepped on his handbreaking the bone in his little finger

These injuries wore not caused by fly-

Ing tackles mas plays or vicious block-ing but were bruises likely to happen atany football game

The new rules have dOne much to elim-inate dancer but they cannotagainst tepplng on a player ankle or

nngtuv Neither can they prevent aman from falling heavily n his shoukierand straining the ligaments

As long as there tackling rushingand scrambling after the hell just Mlong will minor injuries crop out Football is football and not checkers or t1-ddlywinks

George T Stallings is said to be al-

ready laying plans for the strength-ening of the Buffalo club Baseball hasreceived a now Impetus the Bisoncity with the return of the former manager and the enthusiastic fans fancythey hoar again a championship bannerflapping in the wind over their ball-park The pennants of 19M and I9M arebecoming frayed with age and the base-ball public Is clamoring for nag of anewer pattern-

It was Stalllngs leadership that gavethem the other two and they believe thathe can build up a team which will bringhome the third emblem of supremacyFrank Laporte Otis Clynw Dave Brainand Matty McIntyre were products ofthe old regime and it 1 only reasonable-to suppose that other stars of the base-ball firmament will rise under the guidinghand of one of the ablest managers inthe game

Harry Nelly of tiw Detroit Timestakes a swat at tho Chicago baseballwriters as follow There is a knock-a roast a bawlout of as big a lot ofdisgruntled plnheads as ever came downthe baseball pike If you dont likeknockers retrain from reading for ourhammers out

Possibly the biggest Joke of theyear is the attitude of the Chicago

Examiner ono of the sheet printed Inthe town that used to be and Isnt in abaseball way The Examiner has employed two experts Charles Drydenhumorlat and Hugh Fullerton technicalman to distribute to the folks at homethe latest information on the nationalpastime

Fullerton distinguished himself by pre-dicting victory for the White Sox overthe Cuba In 1806 and got away with ItAfter that he was tho famous expertThis year he extinguished himself by pre-dicting the scores runs hits errors andbatteries of the worlds series two weeksbefore the games were played He didnt

even have tho batteries of tho first con-

test rightWhen the Cubs were worlds chars

pions they possessed tho grandest fight-ing machine on earth they wore thepride of our fair city they wore thegreat native they woro tho greateverything from little god to hallowedaftints Today when they have lostthey are nothing they are less thannothing They are a cipher with tho rimknocked off

According to the esteemed Examinerbaseball is a low commercial enterpriseFolks arent hired to play the game be-cause thor are from your town butbecause they can hit MO and pitch a finecurve ball All this according to thoExaminer is dead wrong

The Ex squawks because tho NationalLeaguo ia owned by syndicates The sameaspersion Is cast upon tho AmericanLeague and the allegation IB made thatthe Washington club is owned and main-tained by the league

Let this soak In Washington is thepoorest city In the American Leaguefrom a matter of baseball patronage yettwo yours ago E S Barnard vice presi-dent of the Cleveland club offered theowners of the Washington franchiseThomas Noyoa and others 110000 fortheir holdings and was turned downThey wanted 0000 more Yes it lookslike the league had to carry along thepoor Nationals

Possibly we have given too muchspace to a discussion of tho drivel printedby the Examiner experts but It all goesto what a lot of pikers some folkscan bo when their pots lose The um-pires too curse them defeated the poor

when the Athletics swatted theball among the populace and got onlytwobase hits when they would havo boonhome runs but for ground rules

Yes tho commercialism of baseballia something terrible Men who riskedfortunes because they thought fortunescould be made in the national pastimeare now collecting as they should yet

public gets a bluer dollars worthby passing through the turnstiles thanever in the history of the game Whocares If the Detroit players live in Durand or Berea Just so they play goodball and wear the uniforms of the homeclub thats all that is required

Commercialism pooh pooh The manwho writes of the commercialism of or-ganized baseball a conducted in theAmerican League at least does so onlybecause he is sore that ho isnt in on theprofits The public is satisfied with thepresent arrangement else it wouldntkick over the turnstiles trying to getInto the parks on busy days

No matter at what angle the cominggame is reviewed indications point to ahard struggle Coaches and others de-clare that the Blue and White will beforced to show bettor than they didagainst Eastern to win

LOSE EIGHT MEN

Western nigh Football IHard lilt

The Western High School football teamreceived a severe setback yesterday whenIt was learned that five of Its best menhad been ruled out of the game on ac-count of flunks and that three of thoteam out of tho game on account or

had also fallen short in theirstudios making a total of eight men thatcannot play during the remainder of theseason

Tho names of the unfortunates werenot made public but It was learned thatCapt Garner Is one of tho men wno willremain with the team to finish out theseason

Hard luck news has not been heardfrom the other high schools but someof the players are sure to fall by thewayside which will leave the studiousones to fight it out among themselves forthe team

The Aggies have a nice little 5toO vic-tory against George Washington packedaway to their credit whllo the best MikeThompsons team could do with theHfUchetHos was a Oto0 score

Alston tins a groat little team outCollege Park way and they are showingbetter football every day Mike Thomp-son has never sent a dead one tothese diggings yet so the battle todaypromises to be fast and furious fromwhistle to whistle

North Carolina defeated Georgetownsjoke last year by a scant fivepoint

will find the avastly different proposition tomorrow

Coach Neilson will leave all hiswith the exception of Haggartythe lineup In fact he had em all at ityesterday for practice and they lookedalmost as good new A few discoloredoptics and swathed hands gave mute tes-timony to grueling struggle-in

Walsh will in all probability start thegame at quarter back as he is muchheavier than Sltterding and a betterbrokenneld runner The will holddown one of the end as beis too valuablb a man to be kept on theside lines

A victory over Carolina tomorrowwould much In one way wouldbe a fine thing and in another wouldwork to disadvantage If the Hllltopperscome out on top a feeling of overconfldence is likely to crop out for the Vir-ginia game now only two weeks off andmore than one overconfident team hasgone down to bitter defeat

End Rush Haggarty was left behindafter the Pittsburg game as he wasbadly bruised up and suffering from anattack of grip It was thought best forhim to take a few days rest Appar-ently the rest did him a lot of good asword was received last night that Haggarty had almost entirely recovered fromthe effects of the hard game and wasstarting for Washington

The North Carolina team will arrive InWashington shortly before midnight tonight and will be quartered at the RiggsHouse

George Washington has been practicingfaithfully all week for its game in Rich-mond tomorrow against Richmond Col-lege Coach Magofiin and Capt Hart areconfident of a victory as the Hatchetiteshave been augmented by the addition oftwo old players Bob Fowler and CuppyFarmer The latter will nil a hithertoweak spot Quarter Back Fowler willbolster up the line

As the Maryland Aggie romped awaywith Richmond College three weeks agothere seems to be no good reason whythe Hatchetites should not win by a fairmargin

Never before in the history of highschool football have the games been

as well as this year with Jackand Tom Kirby umpire The

school officials made a wise move whenthey signed up those capable men

NELSON CAN COME BACK

Battling Dane Sure to Regain Lightweight LaurelsStates John R Robinson

SO HIS MANAGER SAYS

fly JOHN II nOBIVSOXl-

lattllng Nelsons bottling manager

Since the time when the chimpanzee secured a tenround decision over the go-

rilla in Noahs seagoing cab there hasbeen one rule to which prizering fanaticsadhere closer than death sticks to a deadjog

They never oome back There la yourrule No man has ever been able to taketimes count and recover the punch andstamina which means dollars and bighotels They have all tried thyleave all failed Corbatt both young andold McGovorn Lavtgno Jeffries butwhat is the use of recounting them allThey would take up the rest of the pageand the editor wants to have some spacefor himself tills morning-

I have been asked to write about Battling Nelsons chances of coming backNothing doing You or I or the beat jug-gler of the Presidents English could notwrito a line on subject for the simplereason that there Is no subject on whichto base an argument Battling Nelsoncan never come back because hanever gone away

At tho present time the groat little Danish fighting machine is working his wayto tho the opinion of the publicAfter thirteen years in the ring he lostthe title which meant years of hardwork and wallop He was defeated byAd Wolgast for the lightweight titleThe wise critics shook their hoary hoodsand muttered something about a pro-verbial old man armed with a scytheand sporting long whiskers His nom de-plume seems to be Father Time Theypointed to him as the gentleman who haddowned Battling Nelson and wrote longarticles about everybody sooner or lateranswering Mr Times roll call

New Battling Nelson is fighting secondraters He whipped one two weeks agoin Kansas City and showed the Bat-tling Nelson who had mowed down Corbatt Britt Cans Hylaad and a score ofether tough ring celebrities Before meI have a letter from Battling Nelsontolling of his reasons for fighting thesecondraters

Out in Reno when a large man over-loaded with nervousness was beingbeaten down by Jack Johnson the towheaded little follow in the ringsid seatHis name was Nelsonwas bemoaning themanner in which the large man hadfooled the American public out of SaM000

Obtained money under false pretensewas Nelsons verdict Fooled the

that had made him rich Foughtwhen he never had a chance to win

Then Nelson determined to fight thesecond raters show the public he was mtop form and ready to take e chancewith the new champion He refused tofight Wolgast until he was certain In

mind that he could win Then if

Nelson Believes In HimselfThen Nelson roally believes he has

never lost hlx grip I was through theWolgast fight with him and believe thesame Nelson figured on winning thatbattle inside of twentyfive rounds Heteally thought Wolgaat would last eight-een He took the fight on Just fourweeks notice and trained about threelIe conditioned himself to go twentyflvrounds at top speed Wolgaat howeverweathered the twentyJive rounds andthen Nelson started to blow up In tIle

fifteen rounds Nelwms ownbeat him lIe wu never staggered

by a blow never knocked off his feetand never gave ground When the refereestopped the fight Nelson was standing inthe center of the ring swinging bothhands and Wolgast was giving groundhopping around the Dane and poking inpunishing Jabs at every opening left bythe blinded Dane was com-pelled to take a two weeks rest afterthe battle while Nelson after a recordbreaking run across the continentopened a thirteen weeks theatrical en-gagement four d ys later in ChicagoFor the next thirteen weeks be nevermissed a performance

Nelson is twentyolght years old in theprime of life He teas never tasted j

liquor in his life He has never usedtobacco or any drug or narcotic of anykind He has lived the simple life keptgood hours and since the fight hasrested himself in hunting ansI fishingtrips until lie now weighs 156 pounds andis in perfect condition for a hard siegeof training

Indifferent to FuiilfthmentRemember another There have

been hundreds of fighters in Ute pastand there will be thousands in the fu-

ture But none has ever lived noneever will live with the heart andcourage of this Dane None has evershowed his total disregard for punish-ment his absolute indifference to blowshis blind faith in himself to weather any i

storm no matter how hard That light j

ing instinct which haM carried the Danethrough his greatest battles is stilt thereWhen he walked from the ring afterlosing from Wolgast his first remarkwasI thought I could lick that fellow be-

fore Now I know itThere is the secret of why Nelson will

again wear the lightweight crown ForJust as sure as he ever tacos Wolgaatagain Just that sure will he win Theknowledge of previous defeat will be lostin the nerve that brings him to the pres-ent battle and the will itcht as hefought Wolgast before as he foughtwhen he whipped Cans and as a cham-pion should fight
