Inmdenti.lls‘ Collins migint ‘have be- come a memniber of the Yankees, with Col. Jacob.Ruppert at their head. if Mack had not-boosted his . price too high. OColonel Ruppert’s willingness to purchase the Yankees, proyviding price for the franchise could be made satisfactory, “originated idea of taking Collins away from the Athletics, More than a month ago, when Gar- ry _Herrmann first told President Ban Johnson of the American league that Colonel - Ruppert. might buy the Yan- kees, the question of star players for the local Americans became an im- portant factor. Colonel Ruppert, so the story goes, asked why he couldn't secure the services of John J. Me- Graw, Wheén he was informed that baseball law and a contract that could not be purchased prevented McGraw from leaving the Giants, Colonel Rup- pert, through his representatives, made it known that he would like to have Collins to. manage the team. Mack was notified and he met Ban Johnson, Joseph J. Lanuin and one of Colonel Ruppert‘s agents at the Hotel Belmont in, New York on Nov. 19th. Mack at first said that be did not care to part with Collins, but when pressed to' name a figure he stated that he would take $50,000 in cash. Subsequently, because he probably thought he could get more money, Mack jumped:- the figure to $100,000. Then Colonel Ruppert’s agent declared that Collins wasn’t wanted at any price. As a matter of fact, Mack was anx- fous to unload Collins because the second baseman’s salary was too high. The Athletics lost '$60,000 last season in spite of winning the-pennant. - Col- lins received at least - one - Federal league offer-during the summer which made-him dissatisfied ‘with his Ath- letic club. contract for next year. So Collins held Mack 3, B Mack, was visibly disappointed when he found that he could not sell Collins to ‘the' prospective purchaser of the Yankees, and as Owner Comis- key of the White Sox realized that AMack was anxious to get rid of the great player ;he put in a bid for his own. club. Comiskey agreed to pay $25,000 spot cash to Mack, who also wiil have the right to select three members of the ‘White Sox before - next n opens to balance the deal. Comiskey assum- ed Collins’ $15,000 salary and the sec- ond baseman signed for five years, at the same time receiving 2 $5,000 cash bonus. What apoears to.be the Yan- kees’ loss is. Comiskey’'s gain, for Col- lins in Chicago - will be a wonderful drawing card at the American league grounds. dohn & Geo. H.

It looks as if Walter Johnson was simply doing his Christmas shopping early.

President - Barrow, of the Interna- tional league, says that a ball player who would jump .his contract would throw a ball game. How about the magnate who breaks his contract with a player? 1It's a poor rule that won’t work both ways. Intercollegiate Swimming Meet.
