.1le To WALK.
When Connie Mack took Eddie
.Collins from Columbia University
and developed him into baseball's
greatest second baseman. little did
he think that some day Collins
would be a managerial thorn to the
hopes of the Athletics.
While the baseball world is pull-
ing for Mack to come through with
a pennant winner after 10 years of
reverses. Eddie Collins. the pupil. as
manager of the Chicago White Sex.
is doing his best to pull him down.
The Chicago White Sox have been
the jinx of the Athletics this year.
The club chaperoned by Eddie Col-
lins has beaten the sensational A's
more consistently than any other
club in the American League. "
About a month ago after the Ath-
letics had won nine straight. it was
- the White Sex who stopped 'em in a
hectic iii-inning battle.
More recently. aftgr the Athletics
had overwhelmed Detroit. it was the
same White Sox who trimmed the
Mackmen in 15 innings.
‘ In between these two great gamis
t e
Athletics in a goodly number of reg-
ulation affairs.
I have often heard Eddie Collins
say he regarded Mack as the great-
est manager in baseball. I have
often heard him give Mack credit
Ifor the success that has come to
'him. yet friendship and admiration
. mean nothing in baseball.

.Collins having won fame as a

success in a managerial way is de-
termined by the games won column.

DIAMOND DOPE.
The dope goes wrong in baseball
7‘ .ottener. perhaps. than in any other
sport. - -
' Since pitching is generally regard-
ed as at least 60 per cent of ateam's
: strength. pitching is the big mana-
gerial problem.
The failure of a pitching staff to
deliver means the absolute collapse
of a team‘s chances. The inability
of a star or two to win often demor-
alises the entire staff and team.
Pitching has been Eddie Collins’
mateet handicap in his first year
[aabigleanoraaaanrh-liistoas
nosegsys than I did, answer me
them? '
more winning pitcher would have
made the White Sox the biggest up-
setter of dope in years. ‘
I have seen the Chicago club drop
at least 10 games this year that
would have been won with ordinary
pitching. Lack of proper relief ma—
terial also played its part.
In most of these games Chicago
made five or’ six runs, enough to
win the ordinary bail game.
In the spring Collins banked
strongly on Faber and Thurston.
While both have done good work.
bad breaks have kept each from
‘winning at least five more games.
O O 0
Put 10 more games on Chicago's
win total and the Sex would be a
dangerous pennant factor. Eddie
Collins is going to have much to say
as to who wins the American League
pennant.

GAMEST CLUB.‘
With about to games to play. and
two clubs out in front in each league
with a. commanding lead. it is be-
ginning to look as if gameness would
determine the winners.
In the American League. Phila-
delph and Washington continue to
run it ck and neck. as do New York
and Pittsburg in the National.
The Giants have already proved
their gameness by holding up under
one of the toughest runs of hard
luck ever suffered by a major league
club.
McGrasv's team is once again as-
suming the greatness it showed in
the spring. If Plttaburg is to win.
it must prove itself a gamer club
than the Giants.
In the American League Wash—
ington has the experience. Philadel-
phia‘youth and a punch.
Despite the general belief among
the experts. the A's have shown no
signs of cracking. although pressed
from the start.
It looks as if baseball is to see a
couple of thrilling finishes this year
as four great teams come down the
stretch seeking to win the right to
play in the world series. '

CAN 'YOUNG BOB FILL DAD’S SHOES?
‘ Like Famous Parent, He’s Finding‘I-iimself Quite Late in Game
By JOE WILLIAMS
NEW YORK. Aug. io.—-Is it be-
ing scribbled in the pondorous ledg-
er of time that young Bob Fits-im-
inons shall follow in his father's
footsteps? You ask Yourself that
just beginning to find himself. And
:9 is old age in the ring.
You must .sfart winning in the
early twenties if you are to amount
to anything. There have been few
exceptions to this law. One was. a
conspicuously important exception.
it featured the original Bob Fitz-
slmmons. father of the 29-year-old
Cornishman. who is just beginning
to shake up like a. championship
prospect. The elder Fftssimmons
did not start boxing until he was 37.
Two years later he won the middle-
weight championship of the world
by stopping Jack Dempsey the Non-
pariel.
At the age of 35..he won the
heavyweight championship of the
world by kn0cklng out Jim Corbett
at Carson City. Nev. Two years later
he lost the title to Jim Jeffrles It
Coney Island.
Old llob continued to fight hard.
gruelling tests until he was 47
years old. They finally had to get
out an injunction in New Jersey to
keep himvout of the ring. ’
All this. of course. is ancient his-
tory. What interests us in this con-
nection is that young Bob is begin-
ning to star at about tho» same age
old Bob began to attract world-
wide notice.
ln Game 10 Years
Young Bob has been in the ring
for nearly 10 yegrs. No one has
ever given him much of a tumble.
Some years he would go through an
entire season without pulling on the
gloves. Those close to him ,said he
lacked the instinctive love for the
ring that made his illustrious dad a
marvel.
When he did fight it tested one's
capacity for physical pain 610 sit

him out. though Charlie Welnert
whipped him. so did Martin Burke.
likewise Young Stribiing.
This year Young Bob began to
come like the kind. The other
night he cracked the tough Romero
liojns on the potato cruncher and
knocked him out in three rounds.
That was Young Bob's eighth
straight knockout.
For the first time since he stepped
into the ring boxing writers were
able to write something about his
being a chip of! the old block with.
out laughing. , '
Better Built Than Parent
The ltojns knockout was achieved
the jaw angle.
Old Bob himself couldn't have
done it any heater. though he might
have done it sooner.
Young Bob is better built than his
distinguished parent and is a better
boxer. Old Bob relied mainly on
hitting and ring shrewdness for his
victories. He was no good at the
clever stuff.
It's not easy to say what Young
liob's future will be. At least it
looks brighter than it did four or
five years ago when he qualified as
the game's most celebrated ham.
They are talking of matching him
with Gene Tunney. the soldier
