And yet. In faee of what has hap

Areti t they ever going tr learn and
una that knowledge that an early
opening in folly?
Magnates Want Long Skea.
The magnate) liiHi.st that a 154 game
schedule In what the fans want.
That's doubtful. If the queatlon were
put to a vote of the fans throughout
the blo league cIMon. It In likely that
the vote would result in favor of 1
or 135 game schedule.
If thfl magnates opened the season
the flrt of May mid closed It the 30th
or September, I hey would have a
schedule calling for 1,10 or 136 games,

you say that h.cldi Collins was

that Speaker isn't worth J5B.000 to the
Indians." writes one loyal "Hixth City"
fan. "Well, Speaker Is just as valu-
. Is he? Well, let us "fiive a look' at
the records.
Collins Joined the Athletics In 1906,
but -didn't become a regular until 1907.
-Speaker signed a Red Sox contract in
1808, but it wasn't until 1909 that he
became an outfield fixture. So let us
compare the batting and t8 running
records of both from 1909 on until the
close of the 1.16 race-.

WHITE AND FRED
WELSH TO FIGHT
IN BUENOS AIRES
Terms Are Accepted and No
Hitch Appears in Sight
at Present.
Chicago. May 11. (I. N. 8.) Charlie
White and Freddie Welsh are to all
Intent and .purposes to battle 25
rounds or less to a decision in Buenos
Aires, South America, with the light
weight championship at etaka, some
time during next July. This much was
announced by Nate Lewis, who man
ages White. Nate is in New Yoric
to close the deal definitely. Terms
have been accepted by both eldeo, and
though the articles have not been
signed, there is no chance of hitch,
according to those interested.
In telegrams exchanged between
Billy Gibson, who Is representing the
Buenoa Aires people; and Iewts, and
in conversations held in New York be
tween the Mime Gibson ana Harry Pol
lock, who pilots Welsh, all details con
cerning money matters have been ar
ranged. Welsh is to get a guarantee
of 126,000, an additional $2500 for
i training expenses, and four round trip
tickets from New York. White la to
tak-e down a guarantee of $7600, an
extra. $1000 for training expenses and
three round trip tickets from Chicago.
Lewis is to confer with Gibson and
Pollock in New York today, and It is
believed that everything will be settled
satisfactorily to all parties involved
in the big match.
It is not likely that the (rotting tracks will again see Uhlan, the
champion trotter, whose mark of 1:38 is a record, in active com
petition. C. K. ii. Billings, New York millionaire sportsman and
owner of Uhlan, has announced tltat lie will not campaign the
horse again, lmt will u.se him s a personal saddle horse.
Eastern Oregon Boys'
Annual Track Meet
Baker, Or.. May 11. The annual
eastern Oregon interseholastic track
meet wijl take place In this city next
Saturday, May 13, and entries have
been received from a dozen or more
schools. As usual the championship
will be between Baker, Pendleton and
La Grande, with indications of a close
contest. Athena. Heppner. Milton,
Union, Elgin, Wallowa, Enterprise,
Prairie City, Canyon City. John Uay
and other high schools will be repre
sented and some of the smaller schools
are conceded first plaoe in a few of
the events, some having athletes
whose records are ground for the con
cession. Last year Baker, La Grande and
Pendleton were tied for first place in
the meet until the relay was run Pen
dleton taking first place and the meet,
with Baker second. Baker figures on
the relay this year and Coach Will
lams is hopeful of landing the cham
pionship for the local school. Francis,
the Baker captain, took ?1 points in
the southern Idaho meet and 28 points
in the local interclass meet.
In connection with the meet, the
Baker high school will play two
games of baseball with the Payette,
Idaho, high school, one on Friday pre
ceding the meeting, and the other
Saturday morning.
Friday evening will be held the an
nual eastern Oregon interseholastic
oratorical contest, in which Baker will
be represented by Earl Ward. The
local students are making plans to en
terrain the visiting athletes and root
ers, several hundred of whom are ex
pected to accompany their teams.

but Collins won out, scoring 137 times
agaiust 136 for the "Spoke." Collins
has acored 779 runs in seven years
an average of 111 while the best
Speaker could do was 691, which aver,
ages about 999 per season.
Zaoa Wonderful on Defense.
Speaker undoubtedly is the greatest
fielding outfielder In the game. His
equal does not exist probably never
existed. But has he any noticeable
bulge on Collins? The White Sox star
is one of the grandest fielders that
ever pulled on a mitt. He is sensa
tional and more. He is always reli
able. And, greatest of all, he is as
brainy and a fighter.
The figures seem to back up our ar
gument that Collins Is a more valuable
player than Speaker. But here's an
other point. It's one we advanced in
our other story: When Charlie Comis
key paid $50,000 for Eddie Collins, he
got a player who then was only 27
years old a player who had at least
seven or eight years of baseball In his
system.
But the new Indian owners paid $55,
000 for a player who, in all around
value, Is slightly Inferior to Collins,
and who, at that time, was (tearing his
33d birthday only it gnorf jump from
the end of the big league lane.
If Collins "vas - orth only $50,000 to
the White Sox, a pennant possibility,
do you think ..that Speaker Is worth
$55,000 to the Indians.

departments of the game. True, his
margin over Speaker In a batting way
is slight but. nevertheless, Collins
must be given the top position.
