oF OLLINS DEAL FAILS WHITE SOX INSIST HOYT BE INCL UDED IN TRADE +——_—_——_ Another Reason Deal for Famous Second Baseman Falls Through Is Because Manager Huggins of Yanks Is Not Anxious to Have Player Co Of as His Successor. me Here Who Has Been Spoken By Bozeman Bulger. HE one trade of the meeting t iy jout that?” That broke the deal right {n the middle. suggested one of the Yank traders, “you would be getting one of the best hitters in the league and one of the best young “But, Holy Mike,” pitchers in the world.” “Suppose I am,” said Gleason, “you're getting the best second baseman in the world.” And there the matter stood. £ prospects of anything doing. Long ago the Yanks got cured of¢—$<$—$—$—$—$——$__ the habit of getting talked out of pitahers in a trade, Then they adopt- ed the slogan of ‘Never trade a pitcher"? and have stuck to it. This was brought about by the loss of Nrban Shocker in a loose moment and the further loss of Mogridge in a jater and looser moment. The Yanks can't see the idea of giving up so much hitting power for & great second baseman like Collins. His presence on the field would not compensate for the walloping of Meuse! and Ward to say nothing of the pitching of Waite Hoyt. If the Yanks could get outfielder Valk in the trade things might be different, Another fly in the ointment, accord- ing to @ rather unfriendly rumor, is that Miller Huggins does not par- ticularly relish the idea: of Eddie Col- ins with the Yanks. For some time it will be remembered, Collins was spoken of as the new manager of the Yanks. This came out imme- diately after the World's Series last fall and was much talked about, Manager Huggins, naturally, does not relish the idea, according to these rumors, of having another manager around ready to take his place. So, that's the present status of the Collins deal. The betting among the wise cracking fellows in the corridors just night was six-two and even— against, The American League met and as was expected remained calm. At the same time they started considerable commotion among our noted home run smackers. This league, gentlemen, has at- tempted to standardize the home run. Just anything that goes over the jence or clatters around among the customers is not to be a circuit smash, To standardize the matter the rules committee recommended that a ball must be hit over a fence at least three hundred feet from the home Historic Bets on American Tracks “Pittsburg Phil” Won $250,- 000 on Horse Bookmakers Refused to Take Seriously. The following is the fourth of a se- ries of articles on big bets made on the turf. /A story on how Riley Grannan cfeated a sensation on En lish tracks will be printed on these pages, to-morrow: ‘E of the biggest coups ever put O over by “Pittsburg Phil was on Lord Turco. This horse brought the plunger $250,000, accord- ng to his brother, William Smith, The story of Lord Turco is typical of the methods thet gained a fortune for “Pittsburg Phil." Lord Turco cost $1,500 and he was the best investment in horseflesh ever made by an American bettor. “I bought the colt because I considered im the best looking yearling I had seen in 1901," says William Smith, would have given $5,000 if that sum d been asked, | se George liked too, He was out of sorts as a year-old and looked like a poor nt until got to Saratoga : Ihe summer of when he began perk up, One day I sent him out Eugenia Burch, then he In training, for a trial ye mile and a furlong, and he as ished me by beating her handily ‘There was icounting such a per- formance. a was a generous worker and made the three-yaar- old gallop all the way.

That thrill ran head-on in a fog early to-day, mystery attempted by tho traces it fs pretty well known that Kid on of the White Sox laid dow. the following ultimatum: “I will give Collins to New York if the Yanks will give me Ward, \eusel and Hoyt—and that’s the only way 1 will trade, what do you think to create the wabbly on his hat promised td give New Yorkers a Despite the barrage of | ea len ) far there is nothing doing and no plate to be arbitrarily recorZod as a homer, This would take all the charm away from the right field stands at both the Polo Grounds and the New Yunkee Stadium. Those stands, at the foul line, are just feet from the plate. Under this new recommendation a ball would have to be hit into the right-centerfield bleachers in the Polo Grounds to be a home run under the ground rule. Anything less than that would be a two bagger. This new rule, having been adopted by the Americans League Rules Com- mittee, will be submitted to the joint rules committee later. Among the well known citizens op- posing !t are George Hermann Ruth, of Sudbury, Mass., Kenneth Williams, of St. Louis and Rogers Hornsb,, of Texas. Tillie Walker, of Philadel- phia, will make his protest later. 252 The joint meeting to-day will de- cide the distribution of the $120,000 fund from the called game of the last World's Series. In addition to that the two leagues will discuss the matter of raising the mit of players from forty to fifty. Most of the magnates ure inclined to believe that the sky should be the limit, ospecially with no chance of the draft being restored. , Under the present system a team can have twenty-five players on the regular payroll and fifteen out on op- tion. Many believe that a big league club should be permitted to put as many youngsters out on option it desires. That would enable the kids to develop and have a chance, at all times, to get back in the big leagues. As the matter now stands it often develops that a big club has .o sacrifice a young player after having paid for his tuition for two or three years. More young players have to be put out every year and, with a Umit, many sacrifices are necessary. There is room for a sensible change here. fooled the touts some. No one be- eved that George, whose weakness for good riders was well known, would back a horse with De Sousa in the! saddle. To further befog the enemy I sent Lord Turco out for his pre- liminary past the stand with a tightly cinched scarf about the neck and shoulders, hoping to create the im- pression that he was wind broken “This trick came near spilling the beans. The scarf was bound so tight it prevented Lord Turco trom striding more than eight or ten fect and frightened George. He had bet $20, 000 before the ¥ um-up and wanted to hedge. I urged him to stand pat and kept him in the paddock. I would have used force if necessary, for 1 was suro I was right. I never caw George so excited. “Well, Lord Turco, laying off the pace for seven-eights, came on in the stretch to win with case, It was a great relief. The success we had with that horse was astonishing. ‘Tho public and the big bettors refused to take him seriously, Wour days after his first victory he met Janeway, Sur- mise and Warranted, with several others. We got 8 to 1 and won an- other $90,000, Then he heat Lady Po- tentate, Namter and Knight of t Garter, and rge got 3 to 1 f $30,000. We continued to ride t Seusa, and the big bettors all laid off the horse. I considered Lord Turco the best second rater in training, and would hi backed him to beat any horse about, barring Blues or Hermis.
