COLLINS QUESTION MARK IN MAJOR LEAGUE FLAG CHASE

By BILLY EVANS SHREVEPORT, March 13.—Will Eddie Collins, greatest second baseman of all time, be a success as manager? I desire to go on record as predicting he ■will. I want to be one of those “I-told-you-so’s.” Collins absolutely refuses to turn prophet. His only future booking Is that the Chicago White Sox will not finish last.
