EDDIE DBMS IS
PEW YORK, De< 20 —If Joe Tin-
r 1b worth $25,000. what’s tne
lue of Eddie Collins?
That s the question that baseball
f tn aTe asking to-day Our answer
is that Collins is worth just about
four times as much as Tinker, or ex
it11 y- $100,000, although we doubt it
Connie Mack would let him go even
for that figure
A perusal of the records of the two
great inflelders seem to show the su
periority of Collins.
Tinker, in twelve years as a major
leaguer, has amassed a grand fielding
average of .937 and a grand batting
average of .264. Collins broke into the
game as a regular in 1908 and in the
six years since then has compiled a
grand fielding average of .958 and a
batting average of .333.
These figures show that Collins
eat h year has hatted 69 points better
than Tinker and fielded 21 points bet
ter a tremendous margin.

baseball world and he was rated one
of the most wonderful pllohors base
ball baa ever known.
That wa« five years ago. to-day he
is shoving lumber for a big concern
at Thirty -dfth street and Shield'# ave
nue.
Five years ago, or perhaps a little
longer, he was one of the pitch.-rs
who helped the White Sox to win a
world’s series. At that time he was
drawing a good salary. To-day ho
a laborer working for wages.
Nick came to Chicago shortly after
the close of the recent season.
Hoped to Make Trip.
The fact he was not Invited to ac
company the Sox and Giants on their
trip around the world hurt the once
gr^at twirler. He confidently expect
ed he would be asked to go along
with his side partner tn comedy,
"Germany” Schaefer.
The expected invitation was not
forthcoming and Nick settled down to
remain In Chicago during the winter.
He drew a fair salary during the
past season from the Washington
club, but prospects were dimmed
when President Ban Johnson issued
an edict against comedy on the side
linen, for* Nick's stock in trade since
his arm went liack on him lias been
his comedy with Schaefer.
The lure of the diamond Nick could
not resist, and after the season closed
he found a loafing place near the
South Side Park
On Ihe day that the Sox and Giants
departed for their W’orld tour Nick
happened to be in his loafing place
when the White Sox groundkeeper
happened in. Nick overheard him tell
ing a friend that he was seeking men
to do some sodding at Comlskey Park.
"What does it pay?” aaked Altro*k.
and upon being told the Job would
pay 40 cents an hour he said: "Me
for that Job. Show me the sod.”
As he toiled with the olher laborers
a flood of memories of bygone days
surged through his brain. He saw
himself once more on the mound,
while thousands of cheering fans
spurred him on to victory.
He caught the signal from the
catcher and once again that mighty
