,. . fX AUGUST 20! 1918, a sunburned young man walked Into the recruitim?

shunned publicity, ana only nis
0 closest friends knew he contem
ij ptatcd the move.
It Is so seldom that a big league
olavcr dodges the limelight and
'''goes about his business like an ordi
nary' person that this story of Eddlo
Collins Is written. Since that August
afternoon ha has been stationed In
the 'depot supplies base at Broad
street and Washington avenue,
doing his work like the other ma
rines, has not tried to use his Influ
ence to get a commission and Is
.known as "Private Collins." Many
of. his pals do not know It Is the
Illustrious Eddie who Is wrestling
Big boxes and pushing a truck from
7:30 a. m. to 4:30 p.- m. six days a week. He dropped out of the public eyo
and forgot about hl3 reputation on the diamond.
A few days ago It was reported that Collins Intended to retire from
baseball, and 1 called him on the phone to get his side of It.
"I can't talk now," said Eddie, "and please don't come down here to see
me. I am not giving out newspaper interviews because I am too busy
with my regular work. After 4:30 I will be glad to see you any placo and
talk.lt over, but I can't see you hero at the depot."
rHU truth of the matter was that Collins desired to remain a
member ofjhc United States marines and not a big league ball
player. That is the spirit he ha3 shown since joining the corps.
Eddie Expects to Play Ball in 1919
' MT DON'T know anything about retiring from baseball," said Collins after
I working hours. "In fact, I haven't given the game a thought. Last
season I didn't feel right when playing, so I Just stepped out and enlisted.
At that time I made up my mind to forget all about baseball until the war
rus over, and then, if I still was wanted, I would try It again.
"Baseball is my profession, so why shouldn't I go back to it? It is my
means of livelihood, and you will agree I would be foolish If I dropped It.
But there Is one thing I wish to make clear. 1 don't know when I will be
mustered out of the service and I have made no effort to get my honorablo
.discharge. There still is work to be done, and I want to be on the job at
the marine depot to do It. When the peace terms have been signed and tho
r.rmy, disbands then will be the time for me to think of baseball.
That's Eddie Collins, of the marine corps, u. c. a.

He has received
L less 'publicity than any ball player in the service and, strange as it may
k " teem, never looked for any. He has been on the Job every day, and only
once asked for an afternoon off. It's hard to equal that record.

However, there is little likelihood of Eddie retiring from the great
national pastime. He has many years of baseball left In his system and
will bo a valuable man on any team. He draws an- enormous salary' and
has a sweet little contract which has one more year to run. For that
.reason, it is safe to assume that Collins will be back In the line-up in 1919
iijaylng his usual steady, consistent came.
Eddie has been a regular in the major league for eleven seasons, but
he doesn't look like a veteran. He started with Connie Mack when he was
a student at Columbia University, but played under the name of Sullivan.
Now he is under thirty-two years of age and is quite certain to last Ave or
sfX years longer. After his playing days are over he can show his worth
as a bin league manager and continue to draw down a healthy salary. In
other words, Collins has nothing to worry about In the future.
DD1U Ml be quite popular this year on the diamond. Ue still
is the best guardian of the keystone sack in the game and. in
addition to that, he did his bit in the army without a brass-band
accompaniment and an obbllgato of fireworks.

tho conference room clicked and the
president of tho club was gone.
Moran, then much shocked by the
surprising piece of Information, turned
to mo and mid:
"Well, can you beat It? 1 thought
peace had arrived and hero Baker starts
another war. Well, It's nil In tho game.
I did my best for the 1'hlllles and I'm
sorry that I won't be with them next
i year."
l'at Moran told mo that ho had wired
his homo In Fltchburg, Mass.. to for
ward to him Immediately tho precious
document which was gently to Inform
him that his (servlces no longer were
needed by the Phils.
Moran will be missed by the players
and fans alike. But there Is no getting
away from It, Moran will be a big league
manager In 1919. Already threo or four
clubs are after his services. Tho ne.ws
of Mornn's forced abdication shocked the
gathering, but It was noticed that smiles
decorated the 'aces of n fejy of the
other club olllclals.
Great Manager
Pat Jloran Is a great manager and
will bo a great asset to any club. He
knows how to handle men. He man
aged the Phils for four seasons and never
finished out of the first division. Hi
raised tho Phils from the lokn rlnss tn
contenders for tho pennant. Ho was a
big league manager all the time.
Moran proved to be a wonderful judge !
of baseball material. He never got the I
worst of any trade. Regardless of the
class of his material he always was In
me race, ins pemiant-v Inning team of
1915 was considered u jolte nnd all
marveled at the wonders of Moran, he
weaving them lnt a penunut-n inning
aggregation.

aco In the hole with Alexander on the
starf. but the way in which ho munlpli- ,
1 lated his star moundsmen so ns to get
I tho mrxlmum amount of effective work
was one of the sensations of his regime.
it was .uoran who iiut through tin
deal with tho Br.-ucs when he first
came to the Phils that jnade them pen-
mini winners, lie put across the deal
which brought Whltted to the team and
Whltted was a big asset in that pennant
combination.
Signed in 1911
Pat Moran was a veteran catcher,
serving on tho Chicago Cubs under
Frank Chance when the Peerless Leader
was winning pennant after pennant for
the Bruins. He came to tho Phils In
1911 and acted as coach and Instructor
of the young pitchers. On October 19,
1914, he signed to manage the Phillies.
Moran succeeded Charlie Dooln, who
had been manager of the club during
1910-14,
Moran realized that he could not suc
ceed unless he got rid of several vet
erans who had been with tho team for
years and who had managerial aspira
tions. His first move was to trade Sher
wood Magee, generally considered one
of the greatest outsiders In the game.
Tl.e trading of Mageo was no surprise,
as It was a well-known fact that he
and Moran did not agree on many points
concerning tho best way for a team to
succeed.
Fooled Stallings
When Manager Stallings, of the
Braes, decided that he had found a
new leader he could pick on he belected
Moran mil asked him for Sherwood
Magee. Stallings tried to hand Moran a
batbag for the slugger, but he learned
that l'at could drive a bargain. Morar
insisted on having George Whltted am
Oscar Dugey. Several other men wer
offered, but Moran could not be moved
Finally the deal went through, but
Whltted balked and would not sign. It
was necessary for Moran to call on
Whltted at his home in Durham, N. C,
before- the brilliant outfielder would con
sent to the deal. After talking to Moran
Whltted becrme convinced thnt the new
Phllly manager knew some baseball and
that his ideas would bring a winner
some time in the near future.
Lobert was traded to the Giants for
Stock, Demaree and Adams. On their
showing In 1911 Adams looked like the
only good prospect of the three and he
was an unschooled youngster. Stock
was found wanting by McGraw, while
Demaree was apparently "all in" as a
pitcher, but Moran was satisfied, as he
had got rid of Lobert, who was his
greatest worry.
Discovered Bancroft
When the .Phillies went to St. Peters
burg In 1915 It was a bunch of misfits
that Moran looked over in the practice
of tho first day. In the crop of new
comers wis a youngster picked up from
the Pacific Coast League, who solved
the greatest difficulty. This lad, Dave
Bancroft, had the shortstop position
clinched from the minute Moran laid eyes
on him. He was just tho type Moran
admired and wanted.
With the shortstop problem settled,
Moran then tried to plug up second base
He selected Bert Nlehoff and got many
a laugh. This Is the period of the year
when the "I-told-you-so" crowd is busy.
but none of them had nerve enough to
say that he knew Nlehoff would Improve
enough to play second base on a pennant-winning
team.
The working of tho pitching staff was
Moran's next problem, and he adopted a
system that had been discarded since the
heydey of Frank Selee as manager of the
nld Boston Nationals. Moran figured on
Alexander and Mayer to win more than

Twenty-five Y'ears in Came
Manager Moran Is a veteran In thi
-ame, having been a catcher in' profes
sional baseball for something like twenty-five"
years. His first professional en
gagement was with the Lyons' Club, of
the New York State League, and he sub
sequently was the regular catcher for
the Boston Nationals and the Chicago
Cuhs. Th" Phillies got him from Ch.
?ago In 1911.
When the Federal League was
launched Moran was one of the first to
receive an offer, the Pittsburgh Club
wanting him to manage the team, but
he refused to leave the Phillies. That
he has several useful baseball years
ahead of him Is shown by the fact that
Moran is only forty-one years old.
Magnates in Session
The board of directors' session began
shortly after noon, with acting-President
John A. Heydler In the chair nnd

A. C. Wise, secretary.
Previous to the meeting there was
wide difference of opinion among the
mngnateg as to whether Fred Mitchell
should be seated as club president and
delegato from Chicago. Hermann strong
ly favored Mitchell's claim that, his con
tract as managef- for the Cubs having
expired last fall, he was entitled to
participate In the league's deliberations.
Ebbets, Dreyfuss and others argued that
Mitchell was disqualified.

EDDIE WALLACE, veteran receiver,
can boast of more defeats rlrtually
thin any supposed top-notciier inat nas
exhibited here In many seasons. This
veteran son of swat, whose face. Jaw
and body apparently aro made of rub
ber, had more tnan one puncn oounceu
oft those exposed portions last night
Benny Valger, the flashy Frenchman,
neppered the willing Wnllace willingly
for six rounds. He won without protest.
This was in the wind-up at the Olympia
A. A.
Wallace has met all the champions
among the small ones during his time,
and yet has to gain a decision. He has
engaged headline and boxers quite re
mote from the top, but Eddie Is like the
Athletics and favors the bottom. He
fnuehi Kid Williams as a bantam, bat
tled Johnny Kllbano as a feather, and
while small twice engaged Freddy Welsh
when the Englishman was cnampion,
and followed with two battles with
Champion Benny Leonard.
Fought Many Leaders
Willing Eddie refused to take the
count. Leonard gave Wallace an awful
beating in six rounds here and only
Leonard's generosity permitted him to
exhibit for the regulation six rounds
Lew Tendler pounded him severely bu1
could not land the knockout punch
Wallace had too much speed and used
tho ring well.
He never was In danger of taking the
count last night. After tasting of
punches from the best In the game.
Valger's jabs only served to sting nnd
cut. but the knockout was not there.
Eddie's left eye caught many hooks
nnd went nut In the fifth round.
In tho fourth round Wallace butted
Valger over the right eye and the blood
flowed freely from the damaged orb,
Valger was far too clever for the
veteran.
Kid Brown Draws
The best fight of the night was the
speedy six round draw between Harry
Kid Brown, the high school boy, and
Phil Franchlnl, of New York. These
lads gave a clever exhibition all the
way. The defensive work was high
class, while neither failed to attack the
moment the other neglected to cover.
Joo Rivers, modeled along the Willie
Meehan lines, used Meehan tactics to
defeat Joo Gciger. Rivers stopped many
blows with his stomach and jaw, .but
Geiger's punches seemed to bounce
harmlessly away
In the other bouts Denny wnaicn
stopped Paty Greene in the fifth and
Frankle Kline forced Marty Williams to
quit in the fourth.
' Johnny Burns, the king of Kensing
ton and president of the Cambria A. C,
was a spectator. Johnny has Gussl
Lewis under his wing and says he Is
anxious to match him 'against either
Valger or Wallace.
Gusslc has Included the light light
weights In his list of eligible battlers.
His next opponent will be Tommy
Tuohey, the sorrel-topped veteran from
New Jersey. They meet at the Cambria
Friday night. Tuohey Is a crafty vet
eran and one certain to force Lewis to
show class to win. If Lewis wins deci
sively over Tuohey, Manager BurnB
planB to send him after bigger game.

THE Intercollegiate Basketball League
season will get under way on Jan
uary 11, accord'ftg to anannouncement
made by Ralph Morgan, the secretary
treasurer of tho organization. yester
day. The usual championship will bo
at slake, but there will be no cup offered
to the winner.
The cage scions ome to an agree
ment at a meeting held In New York
Saturday night. It was decided that on
account of the limited finances on hand
""d tho uncertain conditions existing at
tho various colleges due to the war a
-ertuV han usual would be
arranged nnd trips cut to a minimum.
I'.very college Included In the circuit
was represented nt the meeting, but none
of the men was; able to give an nccurate
statement concerning tho possibility of
the game nt their alma maters. This
Is due to the fact that under the re
arrangement of affairs at the Institu
tions necessitated by the change from
hi s'udents' army training corps to the
normal peace conditions it Is Impos
j'hle to arcertahi tho prospective
strength of the quintets.
Meeting December 21
With the uncertainly of things In
mind, tho delegates wisely decided to
delay the framing of the schedule until
later. Within a Bhort time they will re
port to Secretary Morgan the condi
tions that exist as they see them and
h secretary then will frame a schedule
which he will present for ratification at
a meeting which has been called for
December 21 In New York.
Pennsylvania will play at home and
away games with Princeton, Columbia,!
Yalo and possimy uorneu. in mis. man
ner It Is likely that the Red and Blue
will play eight of tho usual ten
games. Cornell will not be able to con
test In as many games owing to the
fact that the Itjiacans have to travel
such a long distance for competition
against a rival league team.
With such a condition It was thought
unfair to place the tntercollcglnte cup at
stake. Several of the teams, Including
Pennsylvania, have two legs on the
trophy nnd a third leg would mein
permanent possession. Although the
cup will not be offered, the champlon
sh'p will b- awarded as usual.
It Is likely that practice at Penn
will start within the next two weeks.
Ralph Morgan, who Is also chairman
of the basketball commltteo at tho Uni
versity, wl'.l book the first game of the
Quak' r season for January 4.
JourJct Will .Return
The main reason for tho delay at
Penn Is that' the Quakers aro without
a coach. Lon Jourdet, who had charge
of the cage squad last year, and brought
the team Into the championship, Is
working with Du Ponts at Pcnnsgrove,

Penn player will be asked to takq charge
of the squad. It Is likely that Dr. John

be requested to volunteer his services.
One of the things which was de- ,
elded definitely at tho league meeting
was that tho eligibility rules, which
governed the organization last season,
would remain In force. This means the .
continuance of the freshman rule and I'1
tho four-year law. This, however, will
have no serious effect on Penn, as the
men who are counted upon to form tho
varsity are all eligible under the pres- J
ent rules. The only prospective candl-.
date who Is eliminated Is Bud Hopper,
the star football end, who Is In his Jlrst

Ode to Pat Moran
You trimmed the trouV.otts Dodgers,
and iou .coined the vesky Braves;
You made the Piratra tcolfc the plank
unto their unmarked graves;
You felled the Olanrs as Friend Da
vid felled the Philistine.
And what you did tmio tne Cards was
an outrageous sin;
You made the Cincinnati Jieds look
blue instead of red,
And to the timbers drove the Cubs,
to hibernate in drehd;
Yon manhandled the whole darn
bunch with bain and brawn and
bat,
And now our hats are off to you.
Hurrah! Three cheers for Patt
So welcome to our city, Pat) the beet
is none too good
For one to tohom toe oice so much
put that beneath your noofl.
We want to pay yuu nomage, Pat;
you've done what ne'er before
Has been accomplished by the Phils
in thirty years or more
You've put old Phllaaetphia on the
baseball map again
We can't express our gratitude by
either tongue or pen.
you've given us tihe championship,
and we feel mighty proud
To shake your fist, Moran. old boy,
and cheer you long and loud.
The above lines were written to
the former Phil manager at the close
of the 191B season after he had pilot
ed the club to the National League
pennant
