FIGHTER FROM THE OTHER SIDE | LEE MAGEE THREATENS REVENGE IF BARRED. CINCINNATI, March 24.—Revela- tions of @ sensational nature are hinted jot In an announcement made here by Eddie Collins Remains King Of All Second Basemen No Young Star This Season Likely to Replace White Sox Veteran—Hornsby of Cardinals Tops National League of Local Teams, By Hugh S. Fullerton. Eddie Collins, premier second base- man of the land, still leads al) ac- Series and base dope on his batting average, but a study of the figures of the series shows that Collins, in the Wis hitting the ball even with the pitching staff of the Reds specially coached and selected to stop him. His figures, based on iast year's Performance, show a slight decrease, and oddly are within a dozen points of what the dope accorded him a year In the National Léague the dope bears out the claim that Roger Hornsby is the class of the second suckers, and he holds @ lead in both attack and defense in spite of the work of Cutshaw, who, by the way, is one of the most underrated of the really classy second basemen of the country. A study of his work in double plays, year after year for six years, ought to be enough to satis- fy his critics, Charlie Herzog spots the Cubs in third place among the second base- man. Herzy, beyond doubt, is one of the gamest and hardest fighting sec- ond basemen in the game. He did not really settle down to work until late last season, after he berthed with the Cubs, and he evidenly has found the spot and the team suits him, Look for a big year for the veteran. There is one thing about which want to caution re Ig is not a comparison o Some have gained the id. in other years that because the figures of one league show lower than those of the other that league is weaker, It may or may not be. The figures of any position depend not only 1f but upon his team and his opponents. Ty Cobb would not rate very high in dope if Walter John- son pitched against him every day. Neither are the fixures a strict aam- parison of men. They are posttion value A club is just as strong at second base as its second baseman and his substitute. ‘The importance of ood subs is more and more evident each season.

NATIONAL LEAG' Unfortunately I am unable to com- ment upon it, but it may become public property before this is printed: It ‘also may be protested that Cin- jcinnati is rated too low. The figures, |however, are closer to Rath's real worth than any based upon his last season's performance would be. Rath had a fine year, and played magni- ficent ball, clip he held during most of last sea- son, in the business to give him full eredit for the best year he has had. Tho Nationat League second sack- ers are a bit more closely matched in the dope than are the American League's. Cleveland's strength at second seems to be increasing, and New York still holds up In the higher slowness, which is becoming more and more evident. Washington has a big chance to sl improvement before the season starts, and I anticipate, judging from early reports, that the dope may have to be amended before the final com- pilation of the figures.
