WAS asked what lesson I would I teach my own boy first if T had one and he wanted to he a base ball star. Well, that's easy to answer, for T have two such boys. I'd instruct them in batting first. The position at the plate and the swing are most important. The grip on ‘the bat is not so important. Batting is above all else important. The rest of the game must come naturally, but bat- ting may be learned. Constant prac- tice and early confidence will help a lot. (The above is a sketch of Collins, himself, showing hi wing at the plate. He takes an easy swing.) I never dreamed I was going to be a big league ball player until Connie Mack, manager of the Athletics, of- fered me a contract in 1906. T tvas attending college and probably more interested in foot ball than base ball. I began playing ball when 1 was years old in a backyard diamond with a 10-cent rocket ball. I didn't have a glove at all, but didn't mind that and played almost every minute T was not in school. My folks didn’t object to it I didn’t have coaching or didn't have the helpful hints printed in the papers today. In prep school at Tarrytown, N. Y. I hit my first home run. It was mighty sweet. Home runs were hard to get then. And I threw my first curve there. I felt pretty good over that, too. 5 In those days there was a player named Frank Murphy with the New York Giants: Boys, he was my hero. Base ball is a great game. Love it and plav hard to win. But play it cleanly and fairly, win or lose. That’s what I tell my s and T know you want the same advice. Tomorrow—Read Bucky _ Harris' story, written especially for The Boys Club.

T events in contemplation that Every member of the club make a determined effort to enter the games in some way or another. There will be many events, and no effort will be made to favor the outstand- ing boy athletes, although they are asked to compete also.
