this year and one of the coaches,

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.
