T HERE may never be another
Cy Young. as was loudly ac-
claimed, when that grand old
veteran sought the comfort of his
farm after ~ years of service on
the mound. but the American league
has a twirler who is still very ac-
tive today and who for length of
years and excellence of seryioe is
wNrthy of considerable notice.
Eddie Plank, the Athletics Won
derful southpaw. is the hurler in
question. He has just completed
his twelfth year under Connie Mack.
making the best record of his base
ball career. Twelve years, by the
way, numbers Plank's entire base
ball career, for he made his pro-
fesslonal debut with the Athletics in
1901 and has been with them ever
since.
To tie the wonderful record made
by Old Cy Young, Plank would
have to remain in service another
decade and pitch more than 400
games, which appears to be feat
impossible for a man of Planks age
TO accomplish.
The Athletics great hurler IS now
80 years old, which Is considered
past the age when an athlete can
perform such a feat. But he is
good for many years Of service
still and even If he should never
pitch another ball, has built up
great record,
Has Won $50 Games.
He has won more than half of
his games every season excepting
one---in 1908, when he finished with
a percentage of .46S. having won Ia
and lost 10 This past season he
captured &c battles and lost only g.
which netted him an average of
613. the highest he ever attained.
Plank won all these games with a
team that was playing contrary to
form nearly all season, 1t must be
admitted that the Gettysburg citi-
zen is some ball player
During his twelve years on the
diamond he has won $50 games and
lost 143, which gives him an aver
age of .636. This Is superior to
that held by Cy Young when he
had finished his twelfth year.
Young was more Of an iron man
in his early days than Plank, al
though the Quaker hurler Is capa-
BILE of shouldering great deal of
work. In the first twelve years OF
his career Cy Young engaged in
496 games, as compared to 1913 for
Plank, but while Cy worked In
great many more games during that
period. Plank won bigger percen-
tage of victories.
Had Plank discovered his ability
earlier in life. there might have

Dean of American League.
The career of the Athletic twirl-
or is notable for several reasons:
He is the dean of American league
pitchers, has outlived all the south
paws who started with him, never
played il minor league, and all
his years have been spent with a
single club-the Athletics.
There is no better disciplined

Connie Mack has had occasion to

That was about two years ago, dur
