Jill ought the latter club should pay it.
"I'm not making' any threats," said
JUexander, "but I think the public

An All-Time All-Star Team
NO. 6—THIRD BASE
From the days of Williamson, Jerry Denny and Sutton, over thirty years
ago. great third basemen have only appeared at widely separated intervals.
There have been fewer great third basemen in baseball than at any
other position, for there have been periods when five or sis years would
pass without an undoubted star.
THE MAIX COMBATANTS
Williamson, Denny and Sutton were all stars. So was Nash, who was a
brilliant.
But we come to the main battle line when we start with John J. Mc-
Graw and range on through the periods of Jimmy Collins, Tommy Leach,
Bill Bradley and Arthur Devlin.
The man to be picked should come from this group, for they carried
a greater amount of third basing value than any of the others, before or
since, although Herzog, played at third regularly, would have soon fought
his way into this illustrious group.
Tommy Leach, of Pittsburgh: Bill Bradley, of Cleveland, and Arthur
Devlin, of the Giants, were all really great third basemen. They could hit
and field, throw and run, block hard smashes, or come in on slow bunts.
Bradley was the most spectacular, a third base marvel at fielding, but of
no greater club value than Leach or Devlin.
But we doubt—and this doubt was confirmed by others—that any one
of the trio quite came up to McGraw or Collins, who lejid the parade.
JOHN McGRAW VS. JIMMY COLLIN'S
McGraw, upon attack, was the greatest of them all around third. As a
member of the old Oriole cast he was a great hitter, a fine bunter and a
star base runner. a
It ifc needless to add that he was also a~iard fighter. So we won't add
it. He was also a first class infielder, but in this department his play fell
below that of Collins.
Collins was something more, than the most graceful of all third base
men and the most effective.
He was also an exceptionally stout athlete at bat. His average here
doesn't quite range with that of McGraw's, but he was good enough to
carve out a .330 or a .340 clip and hold it over a long route.
When it came to infield play at third he certainly had no superior, for
he not only had no weakness here, but was in addition an alert, resourceful
workman who could take good care of any detail sent his way.
Collins was a marvel, and a marvel over a long stretch. He and Bill
Bradley were the two third basemen who carried the greatest combination
of ability and grace. Collins was the star member of Boston's two National
League champions in 1897 and 1898.
He was also a star member of Boston's two American League champions
in 1903 and 1904.
He proved his greatness in two leagues.
So taking his combined fielding and batting ability against that of
McGraw and Collins wins the place. McGraw was a trifle his superior on
attack, but as a fielder there was no great comparison, Collins leading by
a number of strides.
liable to trim Central. The 1914
.'eleven was the only other team to
receive the trophies.

HUNTER WINS IN
FIGHT WITH BEAR
Follows Bruin into Cave With
Lighted Torch; Battle
in the Open
Warren, Pa., Dec. 20.—The old bear
hunters who used to "chase the bears
up the Big Juniata and down the Lit
tle Juniata and across the millpond
and into their caves where with
bowie knives we slaughtered 'em,"
have little on Rinaldo Collins, of
Ivinzua, this county, who has Just
earned admission into their hall of
fame.
Four years ago Mr. Collins, who
is 46 years old, wounded a bear which
retreated into a cave above Kinzua.
He crawled In and dispatched the
animal. Now he has gone himself
one better. While out with his dog
near Kinzua he saw a bear but was
too far away for a long shot. The
bear retreated into a hole scarcely
large enough to admit a man on liis
hand and knees.
Crwl Into Cave
Nothing daunted, Collins seized
some pine and with it as a torch
crawled in. The narrow tunnel ter
minated In a cave. The bear rushed
the hunter as the torch was poked
into the cave, and the light fell to
the ground. Collins took a shot and
then proceeded to crawfish out ot
the aperture. He beat the bear and
when the maddened animal emerged
with blood pouring from its .wound
Collins calmly finished it.
The bear was a big one. weighing
nearly ,125 pounds, and after securing
help to take it Collins related
the tale. It stands as the best bear
story of the season in a couny where
sixteen bears have been shot since the
lirst snowfall.

TRAPSHOOTING IS
POPULAR SPORT
Last Season Shows Record-
Breaking Attendance;
Many Targets Thrown
By PETER P. CARNEY
Editor National Sports Syndicate
The second year of the trapshoot
ing school on the Million Dollar Pier
at the greatest of American seaside
resorts —Atlantic City, N. J.—proved
even more successful than the first.
Six thousand and eighty-tive per
sons, of which number 515 were
women, visited the school and ihot
over the traps In 1917, compared to
5,122 persons in 1916. In the flist
year the number of women who shot
were 342.
The school was begun as an ex
periment, the idea being to introduce
trapshooting to people who were not
acquainted with the sport. The school
has done everything that the found
ers figured it would—and more.
Three thousand and sixty men who
had never shot over the traps tried
the sport this year, compared to 2,-'
483 novices In 1916 —a gain of 577.
There were 410 women novices thin
year, as against 290 last year—a gain
of 120.
Many Participants
Those who tried the "sport allur
ing" the year before strung along
again and helped the figures mount
upwards. There were 2,510 male and
105 female regulars on hand this
year, as compared to 2,264 and F>2
last year, a gain of 246 men and 1)3
women. Nine hundred and fifty
eight more people shot over the
traps and either hit or missed the
targets that fell into the Atlantic
Ocean this year than last. The tar
gets thrown were 332,600 —a gain of
83,575 over the first season.
September was the biggest month
for the school, with 1,288 people, l'or
which 62,375 targets were thrown.
Attendance by Months
The attendance in the other
months: April, 690: May, 497; June,
815; July, 1,025; August, 1,000; Oc
tober, 168; November, 302. The tar
gets thrown were: April, 39,7 •5;
May, 25,937; June, 48,913; July, 52,-
400: August, 50,100; October, 25, *
785; November, 27,325.
The best score of 100 targets was
made by Harry Harrison, of Roches
ter, N. Y. He broke 99. This score
was also made the year before by
Harton Pardee and Fred Plum, both
of Atlantic City. Mrs. Belle G. Earle,
of New York, broke 96 each year and
contributed the highest score made
by a woman. Dr. M. C. Bowel's, of
New York, averaged 85 per cent, lor
1,000 targets in October, the best
average for that number of targets.
I The school will begin its third
I year in April, 1918.
WESTERN UNION MUST PAY
Springfield, 111., Dec. 20. —A judg
ment of >2,000 against the Western

The Harrisburg Garnets will play
the Hershey Men's Club at Hershey
Friday night. December 21. The
Garnets are hoping to break the
string of victories of the Hershey

represented with the best five in
the history of the club.
The Garnets will take a strong
lineup to Hershey, their players in
cluding Dayhoit and Morrett, of the
Steelton High. The Garnets are a
