Capt. Collins Absent Yet Expected This Week
Norwood Gibson is on the Boston American payroll likely for this season and beyond. He favors Boston and, when his arm is right, the club does too. Gibson studied chemistry in college and now works in Boston laboratories. He plans to stay in Boston after baseball and may open a large bowling hall at the Langham Hotel basement to attract ball players and fans year round. Treasurer Hugh McBreen and Eddie Riley have written a song for Collins's arrival. Regan and Frank Dunn head a reception committee to greet Collins when he arrives, denying any plan to buy his release from the Nationals. Fred Tenney had no new news, defending his billiards with a quip about Willie Hoppe.
