That's the best Now -Year's present I could thin . Marl: It down, that in lcw f the fact that Gleason has been mad :hlef skipper of the So, I would not change places on any club with any one In tho American League. Hy this I mean to. say that the White Sox look to me ns the one best bet for 1919 In the American League." The "four minute" man, who welcomed Oleason's appointment ns leader of the White Sox for the coming pennant brush, Is none other thnn Kdille Collins, of Lansdowne. well known marine nnd captain ami second base man of the Chicago club. Who Is In a better position to Judge tho vvldom of Comlskey's move In fastening the rattling hnidwaro to Clarence Itowlamt and In his place naming the diamond cter.in. who started his baseball career In Scranton, Pa., In 18S7' Yes. we'll bite, who? Actions ns well ns words epresscd IMdle Colllns's delight nt the appointment of Gleason as the big bos of the White Sox. The Lansdowne marine, who. Incidentally. Is some stcond t-ackir, too, bubbled over with enthusiasm at the thought that he would be cuortlng around the ke stono sack for the White Pox this sear, with the peppery Gleason In full command of the line of campaign. "Now I wish to put jou right on tllr-ason," continued Collins. "I do not want to leave tho Impression that one man makes a ball club nnd one man wins a pennant. That's not baseball the game which Is plajeil and won or lost by a team. When I hay that the White Sox will go better than' ever with Gleason at the helm, I mean to convey that harmony of the Fadcrewskl sort will prevail In the ranks. "This fellow Glenson and the fans know It, too is one of tho greatest handlers of men for whom I ever had the pleasure of working. He's of tho Connie Mack type when It comes to having the confidence of his men on tho ball field. He knows baseball from 7. to A and then forward. And what places a value on his knowledge of tho gamo is the fact that ho also knows how to convey his baseball wisdom to others Crafty ns an old fox, Gleason Is universally liked by all on the ball field. He Is the one man to' right tho White Sox machine, because he has the respect of cver.v body, and I, at this minute, can see our white-hosed outfit Jumping Into the games to win as much for Kid Gleason's sake ns for themselves. (tJOW that Gleason has been named, 1 look for most of the White " Sox stars, alout uhom tec have heard so many rumors of trade this irinfcr, returning toComiskcv's club." Harmony Lacking During Reign of Roivland COLLINS refused to discuss any lack of harmony that may hao prevailed In the ranks of the White Sox, with Clarence Rowland at the head of affairs. He elected to pass off anything that Rowland might have done ns lightly as possible and nt tho same time inserting a little boost for the personality of the ex-managcr. It, however, is known that the greatest of harmony did not pievnll In the pale-hosed set during the reign of Rowland, who leaped right from the tall grass of the bush leagues to the lofty perch of leader of an nil-star club in the fast set. With tho crafty coaching skill of Gleason at his disposal In 1917. the all-star Sox bagged the American League pennant. Without Gleason In 1918 well, tho Sox finished third. Admirers of Rowland might point to the fact that a number of stars of the Sox quit the club In mldseason in 191S nnd Rowland in no way could bo held responsible for this. Be It as It may, Rowland experienced considerable rough bleddlng In 1918. Private Collins, of the marines, who jesterday Incidentally dropped the lemark that ho thought Uncle Sam would be through with his services In time for him to resume his second basing for the Sox at the start of the 1919 pennant scrap, was willing to bet a base hit that not a single discord would prevnll in the ranks of the White Box with Gleason nt the helm. "I've seen In the papers that Happy Fel'ch may be traded to home other club by Comlskey," said Collins. 'There, of course. Is nothing Impossible In baseball, but you can rest assured that If Kelsch Is traded and I do not place much credence In this report Comlskey will get a mighty fine ball player In return for him. I have gone on record before and want to repeat that Hap Felsch Is one of the best outfielders In the game, and I expect to see htm and nil tho other Chicago plavers back, Just as anxious as I am for the clatter of the opening gong. And, oh! how they'll play their heads off for Kid Gleason. "Why, ou know that if Comlskey had gone to Trance he couldn't have made a better selection than Kid Gleason for the generalissimo of his ball club. I care not to go on record as predicting a pennant for the White Sox In 1919. it VTILTj tell you just how I feel over the appointment of Oleason ' when I declare that I irould not trade the chances I now haie of being with another winner." "Leonard Great Fighter" Gleason's Famous Interview TrHERE'S there a fight today?" said a gruff voice over the telephone yesterday. "Well, who wants to know?" was the prompt reply. i "I'm an old-timer; I played baseball many jears before they took the sugar bowls off the tables," answered the Inquiring one on the other end of the wire. "There's a fight down nt the Olympla; Leonard's going to get a little practice with Paul Doyle, and nt the National " Before we could In form the old-timer of the principals at the other club, he butted In with: "Leonard fights, eh? That'll be some scrap and that's where I'll find Kid Gleason, for I have jet to find the 'Kid' many miles away when there's a fight on." The old-timer wan right. Seated In an arm chair nt the Oljmpla A. A., with "Muggsy" Taylor at his side, was the new manager of the Chicago White Sox. Kid Gleason was there, but he came to sec a fight and not to tell his friends what he intended to do as the skipper of the White Sox. "Walt till I get a line on those White Sox and then I'll tell jou olore about them," was the only comment about baseball that came from 'ihe veteran, who was extended the glad hind on all sides. ifVAKE it from vie, I like thii bird Leonard's hitting," ejaculated ' the "Kid" with a hearty laugh, when an old friend asked him what the White Sox would do in the 1919 race. Caused Heinle Zim to Pull Notorious "Rone"' THE coming of Gleason Into the big league managerial game recalls his craftiness when he formerly acted ns coach. His last stroke of baseball trickery was In the world's series of 1917 he having refused to report to the Sox last year when he "rode" Heinle Zimmerman so roughshod that the famous II Z. forgot why they used bats, to the sad disappointment of his batting average. He also "kidded" Zim into that famous foot race, with the fleet Eddie Collins from the third sack to the home plate In that eventful last tilt of the 1917 classic at the Polo Grounds. Shades of "I am a faster man than jou, Heinle Zim." Gleason, of course, Is elated over his choice as boss of tho Sox, but has requested that he be granted an opportunity to talk oer club matters with President Comlskey, of Chicago, before divulging any of his plans for the coming pennant brush. This Is merely typical of Gleason. He weighs in the balance of his crafty baseball cranium every move before making It. I Perkins First to Sign Mack 1919 Contract Press agents are not wearing: out any typewriter ribbon telling of lie plans of Connie Mack, the lean brush. News of 1919 doings at the Lehigh avenue sanctum of thn A's has been conspicuous for Its absence since the close of last season, but we hae It from an authentic source that C. Mack Is transacting much business these days. In fact, Mack's plans aro progressing bo rapidly that he already has a number of his young teasers' Klgnatures affixed to new contracts. Num bered among the players who are signed to costly white paper for 1919 is "Cy" Terklns, munition worker, who summers behind the bat and not the plow. Catcher Perkins, It Is said, Is one of the first Mackmen to return his new contract signed to Boss Mack. Anent the A's, another bit of news has leaked out. It Is to the effect that "TIIllo" Walker, who, It was announced, had retired from the game to go Into the real estate business In the tall grass of Limestone, Ttnn.. would come to this city within the next week or ten days to talk baseball with Manager Mack. a M FRIEXD 6f Walkers received fjtd amona its contentt the d4oiacd to auit the poms.

Space there was plenty of It, but not In the Olympia. Tho gallery was stacked, the most daring clinging to the rafters and walls, while on the main floor passage was most dimcult, dangerous and almost Impossible. Nate Smith nnd his rugged guides had a strenuous dnj". Thus did boxing prove lhat It was a popular sport nnd the new j-enr got awny with a bang. Manj- authorities on the game often have told what popu larity it should enjoy during 1919, The Inaugural program vindicated the daring prophets.
