Special Dispatch to The Star.
DETROIT, Mich, August 25.-The open
ing of the base ball match, Washington
VS.. Detroit. was postponed one day be-
cause of rain. chills and dampness. Con-
sequently two games will be played this
afternoon, weather permitting, and the
outlook is not of the best this morning.
James McAleer. in charge of the visit
ing delegation of athletes. stood in the
lobby of the hotel where the Washington
team stops. 1t was late yesterday after
noon. Mr.. McAleer was watching the
rain fall steadily He was informed by
way of comment that the Detroit club
did not call off yesterdays game until =
O'Clock, although it had been raining
steadily all morning and also part of the
night before.
rs that so: have they called it OFF,
drawled McAleer. That's funny: they
have not notified me yet. | sort O. sur
missed that my team didn't care to play.
and the boys were not asked to climb
dark as far as any official action is con-
cerned."
If the two clubs hook up this after
noon there will be a good base ball ar
gunlent at the ball park. McAleer has
decided to pitch Mr.. Cashion and Mr.
Johnson. Who will start the double bill.
Mr. McAleer knoweth not. He will carry
a coin to the bali park, flip it up and let
the pitchers themselves decide on tuIns
Should Mr.. Cashion have control this
afternoon Detroit will be beaten re-
marked Mr. McAleer
Detroit and no other team will be able
to hand 1t TO Cashion providing he has
control. / think he will develop into one
Of the best pitchers in base ball. He has
the material for such development"
In several interviews given out to local
newspapers McAleer picked the Athletics
to repeat in the pennant race. He be-
lieves the Tigers to be out of the running.
THE Tigers have been out of the race
for some time said McAleer. They
had the most wonderful start that prob
ably any club ever got, winning twenty
three out OF their first twenty-five games
With that start they should have waded
through the league. and made a runaway
race OF 1t. but Detroit got that wonder
full start through the work of her young
pitchers. and as soon as they let up. why
there was dull thud that told of the
Tigers fall. When the youngsters quit
pitching ball. why the veterans couldn't
come back and provide the material on
which to win games. The failure of Jen-
nings' veterans this season. and all kinds
of tough luck breaking his way. it was
an easy matter to beat Detroit in the
flag chase.

burg and went to the Boston Americans.
the first year that the American League
invaded the Hub.
Frank was entering the evening Of his
usefulness as a pitcher at that time. One
of his closest personal friends was Con-
ME Mack. They had teen in the va
tional League together and deep-seated
friendship existed between the pair.
One night. while the Athletics were in
Boston, Foreman went to the hotel and
saw Mack.
Con-" he said. there's a left-hander
down at the college where your humble
to get. His name is Plank. I'm stalking
you to this information because some
body is going to grab him."
Plank Takes Milk Train.
Connie flew down stairs. He grabbed
a telegraph blank and wired terms to
Plank. telling him If he was willing to
accept to join the club in Washington
Plank almost had heart failure when he
read the wire. AS EDDIE explains it,
Ibis heart was almost leaping from be-
hind his tongue Plank packed his trunk
that night, was up to take the milk train
to Philadelphia at dawn. and went
straight to Washington. He introduced
himself to Connie and was measured for
uniform.
The next day after his arrival Eddie
beat the Inflated Win Mercer. Ga, and
had victorious debut. Chicago beat
him. and then Eddie won a string of eight
straight games. He was a winner from
fine a pair of portsiders as could be
found.
Since that time his career has been his
torical. He led the league in 1906, and
in only one year, 1908. has he lost more
games than he won His record in that
year with a sixth-place club was sixteen
lost and fourteen won. With Jimmy
Dygert, in 1906 he worked every other
day for a month. and this pair won the
pennant that year between them.
Called Down But Once.
In all his career Plank has been called
down by his manager but once. and has
been put out Of the game but solitary
time. Both happened on the same day
last Saturday in Chicago.
In recompense to his manager, Plank
| turned around Sunday and pitched a
two-hit game against the ST. Louis
Browns. Plank will quit anyway next
year, but he cherishes the belief that he
would like to pitch a nO-hit game, ana
"then," he says, quit right away"
Eddie says that his best effort was
when he relieved Dygert and Waddell
in that memorable seventeen-inning game
in Philadelphia when Detroit tied the
score on oLoushlin's famous decision
His toughest game to lose was against
Chicago several years ago. Plank gave
the White Sox two hits. one in the first
and another in the tenth. and still lost
to o against Ed Walsh. Let Plank tell
the story
II passed the first fellow and the next
man tried to bunt l nailed him at
first. Pat Dougherty was, up. l had
two and two on him and wanted to put
the next down around his knees. where
Pat can't hit. l put everything I had
on the ball to get 1t low enough. but mis-
calculated. l got the ball too high and
Pat whacked a triple. That broke up
the game. of course That's the toughest

tionists, and it is clearly the duty of
this government to enforce the neutral
ity laws, but so long as the revolution
is confined to Mexico the United States
has no right to interfere on either side.
Nor is there any justification for using
United States troops to bolster up the
Diaz government. If that government
cannot stand against its own people, it
is because they want it to fall, and in
that case it should fall.
All Americans who have studied the
Mexican situation will hope that Presi-
dent Taft will keep strong hand on the
military force, and direct its operations
with as much regard for the rights of
the revolutionists as those of the MeXi-
can government. 1t will not do to
ntrust such affairs to military officers
anxious to make a record in the field. -

Ten-year-old Manuel Mintzer is con-
fined in his home at III Boerum street,
today, as the result of injuries sustained
last night when he was knocked down
by the automobile of DR.. John Daley of

The boy was crossing the street be-
hind a standing car of the Bushwick
avenue line, at Boerum street, when
the Doctors car came along in the OPP
posite direction, and the little fellow
ran directly in its path. 1t is due to
the Doctors GOODNESS and prompt action
that the boys life was saved. The
auto came to a stop directly in front of
where the boy lay. DR.. Smith of St.

Only One Reason.

As if by agreement, the first eXplana-
lions of our military advance upon
Mexico were in all places frivolous. We
are to have a manoeuvre by the army
and navy. We were to show Congress
sonal critics the efficiency of our war
establishment. We were to take advan
tage of the early spring on our south
western froetier. Telegraphic CORES
pondents between President Taft and
Diaz showed that they were in "full
accord.
Twenty-four hours later Mr.. Taft in
conversation gave other reasons, as fol-
lows: We were bound to prevent
filibustering on the border; under the
Monroe doctrine IRE must protect the
property Of foreigners as rel as AmericdnS
in Merico; if necessary to that end, our
forces should cross the line and CO.
operate with those of President Diaz
in suppressng the revolution.
In official circles at Washington it
was gravely limited that Diaz was dead
or dying; that European powers had in
sisted upon American action, and that
Japan had made Judgment in or a
treaty with Mexico inimica to our in
terests.
Consideration of these statements re-
vealed the falsity of most of them.
Great camps at Galveston and Sar
Antonio are not useful for police opera
tons on the border, many miles away
The Monroe doctrine does not require
interference by US in the domestic af.
fairs of our neighbors. Finance
bassador at Washington and high of
ficials in Mexico Indignantly denied any
arrangement with US for intervention
saying that an invasion would lead t.
war. Every European nation denieC
eXerting pressure upon us. Over hi!
own hand, in telegram to The World
President Diaz denied illness or in
capacity. The Japanese Minister a
Washington denied any interference by
Japan.
By the process of elimination ever,
excuse but one is thus set aside. Tha
one relates to big business, its fears
its contentment under despotism an,
its antipathy to any change in the pol
tical conditions existing when it begal
operations in Mexico. Have the arm,
and navy been Morganized?-N New Yorl

The plaza was crowded and automo-
biles, on their way to different parts of
the city, were numerous. When the
horses took fright at the noise made by
one of them they ran down Flatbush
Avenue five blocks to Carlton Avenue,
through which the coach careened be-
hind them, until the navy yard wall in
Flushing Avenue checked their flight.
Bennett kept his seat, trying to con-
troll the horses, and those inside the
coach, though badly frightened, thought
it better to stay there than to take
chances of injury by jumping. When
the coach stopped they leaped out and
quickly disappeared. The driver said
he did not know them, and the owner of
the coach, Luigi Aurichio of AZ Withers
Street, was unable to give THAR names.
The runaways crossed half a dozen
trolley-car lines, but it happened
that no cars were crossing Carlton
Avenue when they passed. New York
