COLLINS WANTED TO QUIT

MADE HIM FINISH EVENT
Veteran Rider Rode Last Eight Miles With Flat Tire
at P6iut Breeze, hut Won by Two Laps
From Lawrence
IT WAS the beginning of the fort-
second mile last evening In the special
fifty-mile motorpaced race at the Point
Breeze motordrome. Elmer Collins, the
v.eteran six-day bicycle rider, who won
the world's title back In 1900 and who
rapidly Is approaching the fifty-year-old
mark, paced by Speedy Vanderberry,
was leading the other three riders In this
event by a trifle more than three and a
half miles
The 12,000 shivering spectators and
deadheads -In the grand stand and field
bleachers and the ever hard working
officials on the field had Just settled back
comfortably In their seats and what not,
with the expectations of giving the
famous Point Breeze mosquitoes 11

Increase their advantage over Peicy
Lawrence and Peerles Jimmy Hunter
when Bang! Bang' sh s-s-s!
Had Puncture
The loud report of the puncture of a
tire brought the clubmen and their rela
tives and friends to their feet, and a cry
half of regret and half of joy rent the air
as they saw Elmer Collins lose his pate
maker and slow down his sliced. This
l accident meant that Elmer and Vander
berry would lose their three-laps' lead
and the chances were that by the time
they were going 'right again Lawrence
and Hunter would be out In front with
th9 victory clinched But this was an
unusual race
'Come on, Elmer; come on!"
These word yelled by Vanderberry
from the lowest depths of his lungs and
carrying more of a tone of command
than of a request caused Collins to take
his eyes from off the wooden way and
turn them on his pacemaker,
"I can't. Van, old boy," muttered Col
lins In a broken voice, "I've got a punc
ture In the back tire. I guess we're
through for the night. Left get off thf
track and go In the clubhouse We gave
them a great battle, but the odds were
too great. Let's go."
"Let's go Is right," yelled Vander
berry, "but not off the. track. .Come on,

to the gocd. Here they, come now. Come

Show these guys some of the old stuff.
Come on !"
There was something In the tone of
Vanderberry's voice that held Collins on
the track and wouldn't permit hhn to re
tire. Another sharp retort from his
pacemaker brought the veteran back to
earth and forgetting his puncture for
the time being took a firmer grip on the
handle bars, obtained a toe held on the
pedals and once more was off.
But riding with a fiat tire behind a
motorcycle traveling nearly a mile a
minute Isn't the softest assignment In
the world. Collins soon realized this and
with Lawrence anil Hunter gaining all
the time once more decided to quit. He
slewed down and jelled to Vanderbeny
"Let's get off."
"We'll quit when tho race Is over, and
not before !'' yelled back Van : "don t
be a quitter. Only five miles more.
We're two and a half laps to tire good.
Come on !"
Collins wanted to quit, but something
held him on the tradi In the mean
time Hunter was drawing Lawrence out
to Percy's limit, and vv Itli five miles to
go had an excellent chance to win. They
figuied that Collins would quit In the
next two miles. .An unofficial tltne
keeper caught them going a mile .
minute for the forty-fourth and 'forty
fifth miles.
Weakened in Fortv-eighth Mile
On the forty-eighth mile the strain
began to show on Collins. He seemed
to hit the bumps on the track, and
several times hit the "i oilers." He was
going to quit. He had enough. The
fork oh the machine was bent badly
and he was having trouble in steeling.
"I'm going to quit," he yelled lo Van
derberry as he passed the Judges' stand.
But Vanderberry thought otherwise.
"Going to quit with only two miles
more." replied Vanderberry. "Why, yoin
would be a fool. To go forty-eight miles
and have a lead of two laps and thtn
quit!' Nothing doing. , Come on!"
Once more Collins dJdn'U quit ant'
continued on his way to the end of the
race, ciosslng the finish line two laps In
front. Percy Lawrence and Hunter
were second, while Pete Urobach and
Norman Anderson were- third. Clarence
Carman and Prevost did not finish The
time was 1 hour, 6 minutes and 40 4-3

Players Nonproducers, but
Majors May Complete
Season oi, 1918
RULING IS SPECIAL
Wanliln.ton, June 21.
Baseball flayers, under the "work or
fight" draft order, ate to be placed by
Major General Enoch H. Crowder. Pro
vost Marshall General, In the class of
men engaged In "non-productive" oc
cupations, but, under special Presidential
authority, they are to be permitted- to
complete tho present season with their
respective teams before going Into some
other line of owrk or joining the army.
This Is the decision reached by tho
Armlnlstratlon In what has been one
of the most troublesome problems that
has come up under the "work or flghl"
order. Baseball players, team owners
and fans everywhere have been anxious-
ly awaiting the answer of the War De
partment on the question. The Inter
pretations win ne as complete ns pos
sible to relieve the local boards of'
responsibility and to obtain the fullest
degree of uniformity throughout the
country. ,
Applies lo riajcrs N
General Crowder's first announcement.
In which were given general examples of
work that wouldvnot be regarded as pro
ductive, that Is, for- the success of the j
war, gave reason to believe that baseball
players would have to go Into some other j
business or fight. The clause which was I
taken to apply to them was that which
included all men ot draft age engaged
In amusements ot any sort, games, etc.,
except theatrical performers. Immedi
ately a cry went up thtoughcut thei
country, particularly wheie the big
league baseball teams held sway, de
claring that professional baseball would
be ruined If the men were forced to do
other work or go Into the army.
Newton D. Baker, Secietary of War.
announced In consequence that a special
Investigation would be made of the base"
ball situation and "that the verdict would
be given later. The case was taken up
with the President, with the result that
after long consideration a decision was,
reached.
General Crowder's order will not bo1
changed, but the baseball players, due
to the "request of President Wilson and
Mr. Baker, will bo allowed, to continue
through their present seasons.
Considered Unfair t
To call the, men to the colors now,
the officials hold, would be unfair to the
men 'as well as to the. public which Is I
Interested In organized baseball. Con-
tracts made months ago still continue,
uasenau, uniiKe oincr lines or worK, :
cannot bo easily recruited with new I
players. There are few other businesses
where the men of draft age cannot be re
placed with others, older men, so that
ii general hardship will result. But not
baseball.
Almost every big league team. It' Is
undeistocd, will be affected by the de
cision. Figures In tho hands of the
War Department are that most ot the
baseball players arc within the draft
age, although many of them now are In
deferred classifications.
It Is a question what tho men will
be able to do when they are compelled
to quit the game at the end of the sea
son. Many of them are not trained In
any special line of work. The salary
question will be Important for them.' too.
What thoy will be able to do Is bound
tobe something for which they cannot
receive' much pay.
