T Billy Evans Says
By BILLY. KVANS
yALTEU JOHNSON is to be back
with Washington. The signing of
the 'contract by tbe fumoua pitcher
will be a mere formality.
Baseball funs will welcome the re
turn of the old master. Johnson is a
remarkable character. The game can
ill afford to lose men of bis type.
However, the failure of Johnson tu
buy minor league team is certain
to reset financially. It was his deBire
to secure a franchise in the Pacific
Const league.
Hud Johnson been able to put over
the deal, It is conservative to esti
mate that bis profits would have been
in tbe neighborhood of $50,000. That
is considered more than be will re-'
ceive from the Washington club for
pitching. i
Johnson Is one of baseball's great-!
est cards. At the present time he
hold a commanding position as a
national figure. It is very possible
ht it may be changed quite a bit
the coming aummer.
When Jahnsun, aftur twice failing

he reached the very peak of his
greatnesB.
Defeated in his first two starts,
apparently through as far as the ser
ies was concerned, lJentiny" o shap
ed his affairs that to him went tho
role of hero.
As owner and manager of a big
miuor league team this ear, Johnson
would hnve packed them in at the
gate. Every fan in his circuit would
have been wild to see him in octiou.
His part in the final game of the
10J4 series would be played over and
over again by the vcribes. The very
beat of advertising for a magnate
and pitcher.
Johnson la no longer a youngster.
His fast ball lacks some of the old
"sip." Winning ball gumes la no lon
ger nn easy task for even the great
Walter.
.If Johnson abould hare a poor sea
son, batted out of tbe box often, much
of tho glamour and glory of that

Hoodoo of the 13th Hole
Chlok Evans" Ace Trumped
By JOB WILLIAMS
pHICK EVANS probably was never
A keener for victory than tbe day
he faced Jess Bweetser in the semi
finals of the national amateur cham
pionship at Brookline in 1022.
Evans was not a favorite with the
Boston gallery. A year before he
had lost to Jesse Guilford, tbe New
Koglander, at St. Louis, and an inter
view, accredited to him, bad appeared
in print placing some blame for his
defeat on gamblers who had heckled
bim during the match.
Tbe Boston gallery had interpreted
this as an alibi on tbe part of Evans
and with their two favorites, Guil
ford and Ouimet, already out of the
tournament, tbey rooted for Sweet
ser. The Biwanby blond bad been the
leader throughout the day. But Chick
seemed to have a chance up to tbe
ninth. Here Sweetser's second was
within five feet and be got down for
a birdie three and went back to
bis accustomed lead of three up, car
ried over from tbe morning round.
The tenth was halved. Chick won
the eleventh, but overshot the short
twelfth entirely, and was again three
down, But still in the fight, as they
teed off on the thirteenth, 3 SO yards
long.
Both had fine drives, with Chick
slightly back. His second was mag
nificent and stopped six feet from
the pin. It looked closer than that
from the playing point, almost against
tbe flag.
But Swectser- never batted an eye.
Swinging his heavy-ribbed, deep-faced
mn.shie with his peculiar stiff-arm
swipe, be punched out a high steep
shot that covered the pin all the way
and looked as If it was going to
bole out.
The ball stopped in line with the
cup and a foot nearer than Chick's
wonderful shot. Chick had to putt
first. Small wonder ho missed.
Swetner sank his for a three.
It didn't decide the championship
on that green but it showed what
could be accomplished by a nervy
player under fire, likewise the disap
pointment that sometimes follows a
master shot by a contending opponent.
Indians and Nats Alike on Attack
A rather odd feature of tbe 1024
American league season was the simi
larity of tbe Cleveland and, Washing
ton clubs on the , offense. Each
chalked up 755 counters for the cam
paign. Each had close to the same
number of men left on base and close
to the same number of men at bat
Hut two points separated them in the
batting averages. Cleveland played
in the 153 games to 150 for Washington.

REAL BALL PLAYER
NEW YORK, March fi. C4) Base
ball has known many mighty men and
high in tbe last of heroes stands the
clan of Collins. There waa a great
third baseman, Jimmy Collins, of Bos
ton, and one of tbe name still plays
with tbe American league team in
the Bay state capital, John (Spuno)
of 1'ittsfield, Muss. There was still
another the left-banded pitcher,
Kay, who also found a haven with the
Bed Sox after leaving the University
of Vermont. Kip Collins pitched for
the Yankees at one time. They were
numerous.
Today, however, the name Collins
can mean only tbe marvelous Edward
Trowbridge, of Lanadowne, I'a., and
the Chicago White Sox, who once de
serted the clan and called himself Sul
livan as a member of Connie Mack's
Athletics. That happened In tbe days
when Eddie was a student at Colum
bia university.
The year 1925 finds Collins estab
lished as one of tbe game's greatest
second basemen, and manager of the
club that be has served for 11 years.
Ilis lot is that of Cobb, Speaker, Sis
ler and Harris, Btor to manuger
and it is probable that the experienc
ed Charley Coiniskey, pres.dent of
the White Sox drew upon the exper
ience of Clark Griffith of the Wash
ington Senators in sending his key
stone man after a pennant.
Collins found his way to Philadel
phia's ball parks in lUUii and pluyed
shortstop and third base in eight
games. In 1907 he played shortstop
during ten contests and erased the
name "Sullivan" as second baseman
third baseman and shortstop in 1908
be played in 102 battles and batted
.822.
liere tbe marvelous quartet that
was to become one of the most re
nowned infield combinations in base'
ball weot into action with Stuffy Ic
Innis at first, Collins at second, Jack
Barry at short and Frank Baker at
third. It became known as tbe "$100,
000 infield," yet a few years later Col
lins alone was sold for half that .price.
Collins started to hit and In only
two seasons, 1917 and 1918 has he
fallen below the .300 mark. He batted
for .300 in 1920, the highest aver
age be has ever attained.
freight be made to apply from Jan
uary 3 instead of February 9 as or
dered by the commission. He also
suggests that the reduction should
apply to seed rye and barley as well
as to wheat, since the damage by
cold weather affected those crops
also. It will be necessary for the
railroad companies carrying the seed
grain to make refunds to the farmers
as ordered by the commission.
