ground and anel Is th the best man In the American lea league ue In taking a throw from the catcher and putting It on a runner Ho lie Is Js a speed marvel on the paths Cobb alone being his superior in pilfering bases Johnny Kling tried to get et the goat of at Collins In the worlds world's series last year ear but failed dis- dis mally mall As Collins came carne to bat the first time In the second game Kling re remarked remarked remarked re- re marked So you think you ou can steal on me Well VeIl young man mart you ou Just tr try It to toda to- to da day Yes and If It I r get on this time I will go down replied Collins Collins got ot on on all al right With two balls and no strikes on Baker Daker Collins I yelled to Kling 1 I yam am going to go down on this I ba ball I Lu L h And nu DU true to his nia word wora ho no pilfered standing up And to mako the feat teat all the tho more remarkable Kling called for u a pitchout Tho The very next time Collins anchored on first he stole and this time he also tipped Kling off when hen he ho was going Dan Barry and Collins combined make malec the greatest team that ever played around the Ie keystone stone Thc They are lightning fast Cast and have started and gone gono through with more double plays than any other combInation com com- in the American or of National leagues McInnes Is 18 s likely to be the hero o of the big series this season Here Is Iss a a. youngster who Is Js always ahva's doing the unexpected unexpected unexpected un un- expected and who has a goO good wise thInk tank on his square shoulders In one seasons season's time he Ins developed Into a marvelous first sacker He lie is fortunate fortun fortun- ate in having three throe infielders who are perfect throwers but for tor all nIl of that h he can reach far to to left ft or right and null In heavers On foul ups pop-ups ho he Is 18 a veritable demon Not ot even Cha Chase can cover the ground he can on difficult boosts And is some hitter He has hns broken up more games ames for tor tit the thc Athletics than an any other othor man in n the team this thiN season Ford Walsh Johnson and Wood four our of oC the greatest pitchers in the American league have declared Mc Mc- lanes Innes to be the most dangerous man In the business in the pinches and all four of at them have often otten passed him Lord Oldring and Murphy are all an stars Murphy Is the veteran of at the tho outfit but lut he I Is probably the most valuable of the trio He has a wonderful wonder wonder- ful Cui arm and knows Just where every batsman hits And when he lie leans
