RY2 R Sport Slants 'yALAN J.GouLp You see his name rarely in the box scores any more, but Eddic Collins, king pin of second base- men when the Old Athletics were winning world’s championships, is a vital cog in the New A's. As staff aide to General Connie Mack, Col- lins takes over a good deal of the detail work. Brought up from his college days in the Mack school cof thought, Eddie is a keen strategist himself, a quick thinker with the same intuition that Ty Cobb pos- sesses for doing the right thing. Now that Cobb has retired, Col- lins in his twenty-second consecu- tive year in the majo; has the longest continuous service record of any player still in uniform. Recently I asked Collins the sec- ret of Mack's ability to maintain 50 keen a grasp of bascball's ,swift moving affairs after so long*h term as manager and at an age when most elderly gentlemen prefer case or golf to directing an exciting ball game from a hard, hot bench. “You know, it never ceases to amaze me—the real enthusiasm that Mr. Mack retains,” replied Eddie.' “Of course he has forgotten more about the game than most of us will ever know, yet he retains the memory of everything essential. The style of play has changed but Mr. Mack has kept up with it. I have never seen anyone so con- sistently keen in sizing up situa- tions and plays, so able in handl- [ them temperamental—it is almost uncanny to me. “The club this year is working its head off for one man—Connic Mack. Of course we all like to be with a winner but to a man the A’s think more of winning this pennant for Mr. Mack than they do for any extra money or glory they may get out of it.” Like many veterans, Eddie Collins regrets the way the free-hitting era of baseball has ruined most of the old “inside stuff.” “I don's say we were any smart- er in the old days but the game of 15 to 20 years ago certainly put more premium on fast-thinking and quick action than nowadays,” he re- marked. “A big flock of runs now can knock the best-prepared piece of strategy all over the field. “I think the reason for a lot of the hitting is lack of confidence among many pitchers after they have been battered up. You know pitching is 50 per cent confidence, anyway, with around 30 percent for ability and 20 per cent for the ‘breaks.” Hitting is just about the same.” It’s the same in golf and most any other sport. The best shot- maker in the world, if he loses his confidence for one reason or an- other, will start dubbing his strokes. There may be some dis- pute about how far Babe Ruth can drive per cent’ confidence on the Babe's part that he can knock it a “mile” as well as lop-sided. S MISS BATHE VISITING HERE Miss Florence Bathe, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Bathe, of Walla Walla, Wash., arrived here early this week to spend a vacation of several weeks. She is the house guest of Miss Evelyn Judson.

Soldier Miller vs Sammy Nelson, five rounds—140 pounds. Tiger Leyson vs. Young Ed- dic Roberts, four reands— 115 pounds. Young Sharkey vs. Gunboat Gus, four rounds—I130 pounds. | At 8:15 o'clock this evening the American Legion’s Labor Day box- | ing card will be staged in Elks Hall. There are four bouts on the card, which means more than an hour of scrapping if all of them go the scheduled distance. | Harry Sperling will be the third | man in the ring in all of the| events. Other officials are: Judges, |Dr. W. W. Council and E. C Adams; timekeeper, Dave Housel. Good Main Event The main event is between Sol- diert Olson, Haines, conquerer of {Joe Collier in the Fourth of July | show and Doc Silvers, one of the most experienced ring exponents | ever to appear here. Tmus has all the earmarks of being a thriller. And Olson isn't going to have any- thing like the easy going he found physician and was given a thorough physical examination. He tipped the scales at 154 pounds and was proncunced by the physician to ke in excellent physical condition for the fight. He has trained hard for it and is as hard as nails. Those who have watched him work claim he is like chain lightning on his fect hands. A left jab is his best asset and he knows how to use it to the best advantage. Word comes from the Army post at Haines that Olson is in better condition for this bout than he was when he met Collier. He has his eye on the middleweight title for Alaska and is taking no chances jon having them upset by Silvers. | Brooklyn He was due to arrive here about 5 pm. today from Haines on the Fornance which is bringing a larce crowd down for the smoker. Other Bouts Excellent Three other good bouts round out this evening’s entertainment. Sam- my Nelson, local high school boy, getting his hardest test against Soldier Miller from Chilkoot Bar- racks. These boys will fight at 140 pounds. Two classy show their wares in the special event, Tiger L n meeting Eddie Roberts. Leyson has the call in ring cxperience and age. But Rob- crts is a smashing hitter with a fighting rt and may come through with the punch that brings home the winning end of the purse. Dance “To *Follow Immediately after the smoker, 2 wrecking crew from the Legion post, headed by Commander Herrmann, will demolish the ring, take off the canvas and clear the hall for a dance. Dancing will start by 10 pm., it was announced. —————— THE DAVISIS IN JUNEAU welterweights wiil Mr. and Mrs. H. C.
