NORTH YAKIMA, Wash., March 17. (Special.) Vigorous protest against the proposed new game code was tele graphed to Governor Lister last night by the officers of the Yakima Fish and Game Protective Association, asking him to veto the measure. Grounds of objection are the prohi bition of use of salmon eggs as bait in trout fishing, the change in the open season for fishing, and the prohibition against fishing or hunting by deputy wardens. The latter provision, it is averred, would make it impossible to secure sportsmen as deputies, and thus encourage poachers and "game hogs."

When stars have gone from clubs they were with to other clubs at big prices, frequently they have failed to make good, to live up to expectations. This has been particularly true of the Giants. Whenever a ballplayer comes to New Yrok from another team, , he seems to feel that he must overreach himself. McGraw thought he had a great catcher when he brought Schlei to the Giants in 1909. Schlei never caught for McGraw like he did- in Cincinnati, and it gave "Chief" Meyers the chance for practically a regular job during his first year in the league. The season before "Cy Seymour came to the Giants, and. he led the league in hitting with the Reds, but he never hit quite so hard after he got in the atmosphere of the BTg Town. Too much was expected. I think "Eddie Collins, however, is the kind of player who will go as well Chicago as he did with the Ath letics, if not better. To go better is next to impossible, but I believe fans will think that he is going better, be cause he will get more recognition from the followers of the White Sox. And here is hoping "Eddie" "breezes" into his own as far as recognition goes, for he certainly has it coming to him. Old Story Is Denied. The story still persists that Collins asked McGraw for a job when he was still a student in Columbia University, and that he was refused by both Mc Graw and Clark'3 Griffith, then' the manager of the New York Americans, 1 have asked both "Mac" and "Griff" whether this was true, and each one has flatly denied it. So has Collins. "I don't see." said McGraw once, "why 'Billy" Lauder didn't tip me off at the time he was coaching the Columbia team when Collins was playing on it. I suppose it is because he and I once had some salary difference while Lauder was with the Giants." If Collins, by any stroke of good fortune, had come to McGraw, I be lieve some of the series of world's championships might have gone dif. ferently. some of those which have taken place In the last four years. "Larry" Doyle was a third baseman be fore he broke into the Big League, and he would have lifted into some, other spot in the infleld besides second. But picking up the promising recruits is a combination of luck and the necessity for combing the country thoroughly. "Connie" certainly has his scouts scat tered far and wide. Collins a Natural Hitter. I want to wind up this article with a word about "Eddie" myself. In my time. I have taced all the best batters in the business, Wagner, Speaker, Baker, and so on, but I have never pitched against a more natura.1 hitter than Collins. I have not faced Ty Cobb, so I must leave him out of the ques tion. Collins never makes up his mind what he is going to do until he sees the ball coming toward him. He stands up to the plate easily, ready to hit at any kind of a ball, and he makes a man pitch to him all the time. He is also figuring the twlrler all the time. In the first world's series game that I faced him in, I fed him curve after curve. In the next ;ame I came back with straight ones, only handing him a couple of curves in the whole battle. I was trying him out. but he can pickle any kind of pitching. In my own statement, I am forced to leave out Ty Cobb entirely, for I have never even seen him play, al though I am well acquainted with him. Of the men I have watched work for the past 14 years, I believe "Eddte" Collins is the greatest of them all from all angles. But American League pitchers tell me that Cobb is some natural sticker, and American League catchers have informed me that he is as hard to catch on the bases as loose mercury in a bath tub.
