Charley Collins, the well-known second baseman, now umpire, gave out a novel and feasible idea at the recent International League meeting. It is to redeem a tail-ender. Chub would divide the season into two parts, one ending July 31 and the other Sept. 31. A schedule would be made out for the first portion,w hen the champions would be declared. Then all clubs start out on even terms for the second schedule, which gives tail-enders a chance to brace up and every club a try for the second pennant. Finally, the two champions play off. It is a great idea and shows that Collins is a meditative fellow.
