THE EVENING TELEGRAM LAK ELAND, FLA., FEBRUARY 20, 1912 T BASEBALL-OGRAPHY OF EDDIE COLLINS Eddie Colling as Seen by Cesare. B8y HOMER CROY. In a big leather backed Bible rest- ing squarely in the middle of the par- lor table close up beside *“Paradise Lost” and “The Life and Deeds of Davy Crocket” at Tarrytown, N. Y, where he was born, you can find the | rooly treally name of Eddie Collins— Edward Trowbridge Collins. All that, just as if it was being called out by i the president of the board of educa- tion—who 1is also proprietor of the Elite Feed Store and the Bon Ton Coal Yard—on graduation day at the Seats reserved for fa. thers and mothers—flowers should be sent to the Sunday school room. The man at the half-way house of the Philadelphia Athletics began be- ing called a phenom so early in life that every night before he went to bed he spent half an hour greasing his down with cold ~ream, and every time he found a hair on his upper lip he would turn three complete somer saults in the hotel bedroom and jump up and bump his head against the celling until the feeble old lady on the floor above had to telephone for an- other bottle of smelling salts. He is still one of the youngest of the big league stars; his manager never lets him go out on the street alone at night after nine o'clock, and when the team is out on a tour the rest of the boys have to wash his bhands and tie on his night cap. He entered Columbia as a student, but graduated as & baseball player, giving up his time between baseball, football, basket ball, handball, water polo, tennis and track to an earnest study of Blackstone. Laying aside his quarter cover buckram for a full cover horsehide he took up baseball for good at a salary so comfortable that in stepping on & penny weighing ma- chine as a friend was getting off he | didn't care it the thing went back bang! and locked—he had that much | money. In 1910 he came to bat with Cupid in the box and made the home run of his life, and now the two have a home of their own in Clifton Heights, a sub- urb of Philadelphia, with a planola in the parlor and honest-to-goodness | chickens in the back yard. ,He never grows tired of talking about his pian- ola and his chickens, and to him the sweetest music in the world is a duet between a planola and a pullet, with his wife putting the silverware on in the dining room. He can sit back in his bay window with his fcet on the window sill and by the cackle tell which one of his hens has lald an egg and which one is up. He never smokes and never got a larruping in his life for sneaking out bebind the millet stack with the rest of the gang and smoking a grapevine until it turned him so far inside out that he had to hold his epiglottis in with his thumb. He thinks that the man who uses the vile weed is going to that region where war is one con- tinuous program from 11 a. m. till 11 p. m., cbildren in arms not admitted; but he himself is wild about chocolate ice cream, belleving that the other place in the skies is a magnificently fitted up drug store where the seats at the soda fountain are upholstered, and where a chorus of angels play golden harps while pages in short trousers flap up on their golden wings bearing straws with corl: tips, urging you in silvery tones to have another. The ambition of his life is to write a book—a real book with his name on the cover—and he says the one su- preme blissful moment of his exist- enco would be to lay his book on the center table, turn on the planola, and then have one of his Plymouth Rocks walk up on the porch and crow while his own private ticker inside rattled off the baseball score.
