Only the fact that Ty had a few records he wanted to smash, accounts for him playing so much this year. Eddie Collins has been handicapped all season by a bad leg, the one Injured late last fall and which has failed to come back to normal. The injury to Collins cuts down his ground-covering possibilities and makes the playing of the game real work. I once heard Collins say that when playing the game became an effort rather than a pleasure, he in- tended to quit. It mast be that now.
