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.
