Ball Field Rivalries
Mention has been made before or tho
early collegiate llvalry between Eddln
Plank, of Gettysburg College, and Chrlstv
Maihcwson. of Bucknoll. But probably
in tho game no rivalry extends further
back than that between Ray Fisher, of
tho Yanks, and Ray Collins, of the Red
Sox.
These two pitchers were first high school
rivals In th'j box for two or three years.
Then Fisher went to Mlddlebury College,
Vt.. and Collins went to Vermont Univer
sity. Here they continued the old tight.
In 1006 Fisher came to the Ynuks, and
Collins, at about the same tlmV, Joined
the Red Sox. So through high school,
collego and the big league the two Rays
and old A'ermont hate been battling
against each other on tho diamond for
over 11 years, and both still have n num
ber of seasons left In the Big Corral.

The Modern Player
Those who figilio baseball a strictly
frivolous profession might get a new
