Famous White Sox Second Baseman in His Old Form Both at Bat and Afield

Age is no handicap to Eddie Collins, famous second baseman of the Chicago White Sox. At least the Tarrytown lad has betrayed no sign of decay thus far in the season’s campaign, and in the series at the Polo grounds has flashed all his old form at the bat and afield. Collins and Schalk are the

backbone of the Sox. the mainspring by which the play of the club afield is directed. Collins certainly is as fast as he has been through the last few seasons, and although he has not invaded the .300 circle in batting he is sure to arrive up there in the early future. Furthermore, Collins has more to do with infusing a spirit of co-operative combativepess into the Sox than any other individual in the outfit, with the exception of Kid Gleason, the manager, who is a fighter down to the ground and one of the best all around good fellows in the pastime.
