Expert Thinks Mackmen’s Second
Sacker Is Four Times as Val
uable as Joe Tinker,
N EW YORK, Dec. 20.—If Joe Tin-
ker is worth $25,000, what s the
value of Kddie Collins?
That Is the question that baseball
fans are asking to-day. Our answer
js that Collins Is worth just about
four times as much a» Tinker, or ex-
Mctly $100,000, although we doubt Jf
Connie Mark 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
*aguer, has amassed a grand fielding
average of .937 and a grand batting
overage 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 .383.
These figures show that Collins
each year has hatted 69 points better
than Tinker and fielded 21 points bet
ter a tremendous margin

May Match Russell
Against Joe Mandot
NEW ORLEANS. LA., Pee 20.—Remy
Dorr, manager of Frankie Russell, the
French Market lightweight. Is trying to
get Promoter Tortorich to book Rus-
t>ell and Mandot here shortly.
• From the way the past few matches
have turned out I don’t see how Tor-
tori t.ch can sidestep this Russell-Man-
dot go He’s lost money on the others
and it goes to show that the fight fans
want a local boy In the ring. I believe
that a match between these two boys
will bring Tortorlteh some money, also
a piece for myself,” says Dorr, who is
willing to fight on a percentage basis.

you are to-day.
Five years ago Nick Altrork’s name ;
was on the lips of every fan In the !
two big circuits.
His mighty port arm and his misty
saline floaters were the talk of th-
baseball world, and he was rated one
of the most wonderful pitchers base
ball has ever known.
That was five years ago; to-day he
is shoving lumber for a big concern
at Thirty-fifth street and Shield’s ave
nue.
Five years ago, or perhaps a little
longer, he was one of the pitch ts
who helped the White Sox to win a
world’s aeries. At I hat time he was
drawing a good salary. To-day he :s
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
great t wirier. He confidently expect
ed he would be asked to go along
with his side partner in 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 Han Johnson issued
an edict against comedy on the side
lines, for Nick’s stock in trade wince
his arm went hack on him has 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 the day that the Sox and Giants
departed for their world 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 •tome sodding at Oomlskey Park.
“What does it pay?*’ asked Altro *k.
and upon being told the Job would
pay 40 cents an hour lie said: "Me
for that job Show me the sod."
As he toiled with the other laborers
a flood of memories of bygone days
surged through his brain. He saw
himself once more on the mound,
while thousands of cheering fan*
spurred him on to victory.
He caught the signal from the
catcher and once again that mighty

and Spann also played well, the latter
making a pretty drop-kick from the

For the freshmen, the playing of
Crane, Spence and Carpenter was the
best. Carpenter is one of the best
linemen in the league. He would

The other game staged yesterday
afternoon between the juniors and
the seniors proved a walkaway for
the juniors, who won. 25 to 0.
For the juniors, the playing of
Smith, Attridge and Gardner was ex
cellent, the first-named player mak
ing three of the four touchdowns that
the juniors earned. Attridge played a
great defensive game on end. The
kicking of Gardner for the juniors
w'as also a feature of this game.
For the seniors the playing of Tate
was the best. This man was the only
one that could succeed in hitting the
juniors’ line for gains that amounted
to anything. Cornell and Peacock
also played well. The line-up:
