Sorry to bump this 7 year old thread
, but I had posted in the April Pick-Up thread a picture of this 1907 Vermont scorecard featuring Larry Gardner and Ray Collins – Red Sox, (along with Jack Barry from Holy Cross/Athletics).
Researching further both Gardner and Collins, no surprise I found the best source for Collins to be an old thread of good ‘ole N54, and this incredible blog by his relatives.

This particular game noted in this scorecard was a highlight of Rays’ Vermont career, as he beat Holy Cross 1-0 and drove in the game’s only run with a triple. A chapter(9 pages) from the book “
Opening Fenway Park with Style: The 1912 Champion Red Sox” is dedicated to Collins, and this game in particular is described.

On a side note, like a I said N54 is an invaluable resource, but the memorabilia side has been rather quiet of late. Hopefully things will pick up as folks share more of what interests them. Cheers - Joe.
