(UPH - The1 Chicago Cubs will have eight coaches instead o( a manager. this year and one of the coaches, articulate Rip Collins, already has days when he played with Diz Dean, Pepper Martin and others on the St. Louis Cardinals' "Gas House Gang" of the 1930s. "One of these will never be broken." he says.

The net played at night in Wrigley Field, says Collins. Just in case you didn't know, Wrigley Field doesn't have any lights and no night games are played there. Comedian Phil Harris brought! up tlie subject of possible con fusion among the players and eight coaches at the annual Phoe nix Press Box Association awards banquet the other night. "Imagine the bases full and the count 3 and 2 on the batter with; none out," offered Harris, "Seven or eight coaches come charging out of the dug-out to pull the pitcher out. Man, that pitcher is r-e-a-M-y coming out. There'll be no arguments." Collins denies it will work that way. Specialization "We'll have only four men come tearing out to take out the pitcher, said Collins. "We 11 keep four In reserve. These four will be saved to come charging out at the umpires. "Now, if you think this will be confusing to us, consider now it will confuse the opposition and the umpires. Collins is a natural-born come dian before the microphone. He explained why the eight coaches tere being used. "That gives a coach for every one of the regulars except Ernie Banks. And he doesn't need one. Unique Records Collins claims he holds about IS major league records from the old pitch was a strike that I didn't even touch. But the catcher, in attempting to return the ball to the pitcher, bounced it off the top of my head into center field and nur runnpr from cpennd ha;A! Icame in with the winning score. "That record will stand. I got credit for a run-balted-in. But to day the catcher would be charged with an error." Collins claims that in all thel history of baseball there have been only seven games in which the first baseman never made an out. "But to show you how lucky I am," he says, "I was the first baseman in two of those games. That was when I was with Chica go. I asked Mr. Wrigley for a raise. But he said he should cut my salary instead.'" One year Collins complained that wasn't -getting paid enough. "You're getting the same money that Dizzy Dean is," said Wrig ley. It wasn't until later, says Col lins, that he found out that he was getting the same kind of money as Dizzy but not the same amount.
