motor boat Baby Reliance ii, Detroit
butt craft, who was declared the win
ner of the wrigley $225O0 trophy at
the recent water speed carnival in
Chicago, will be forced to go to the

The owners OF the Disturber refus-

baseman In the American league, II
not the majors.
Another reason for Washington's
rise, Is the catching department. John
Henry and Eddie Ainsmith have no
superiors, while AL. Williams is a
mighty good extra receiver. OF course
Johnson is the star OF the pitching
staff, but Bob Groome. Tom Hughes,
Carl Cashion, Jim Vaughan and Bar

Why is Washington? Because 1t

always willing TO take a chance; a
team that never quits until the last
man is retired.

PLANK, AFTER Z YEARS
SERVICE, STILL MACRS
BEST BET IN THE BOX
Eddie Has Never Had But One
Bad Year in His Whole
Career
is MOST CAREFUL LIVER
Always in Condition, Plank Is
Showing Better Form Now
Than Ever

While there Is a good deal Of talk
that Connie Mack is preparing 10
chop of few heads this fall and do
some especially drastic wedding out
IN his pitching staff, there is one man
who Will be extended contract with
tho Athletics next year, who has been
with the team longer than any other
twirler ever serving a Philadelphia
Z ball club. His name is Eddie Plank
Z and he's a regular guy. When We
say regular, we mean regular-he
WORKS in both hot and cold weather.
Plank has seen II seasons OF active
work with the White Elephants and
not even CO Young with his p sea-
sons of twirling can duplicate this
mark, for his services were scattered
between two Boston clubs, two Cleve-
land clubs and st. Louis.
Eddie has never pitched for any
professional team except the Ath'
letics Connie got him direct from
Gettysburg college in 1901 and he has
been under Macks wing ever since.
The men who were with Plank
when he went into the American
league can be counted on the fingers
OF one hand and not one of that num-
Der is pitcher.
The veteran has been a member of
four championship teams and twice
a member of worlds champions. He
has hung up a pitching percentage
above 500 every year with but one
exception.
In his first year, Plank won Il and
lost IL. In 1902 he won 20 and lost
in ~ nd net
l6. while IN 1904 he won 20 and lost
II. In 1905, with "a wins and II de-
feats, ne was responsible in a great
degree for the Athletics coping the
pennant. He had a notable record
In 1906, winning 10 and losing only
G. 1t was during this year that he
experienced trouble with his arm.
In 1907 he returned to form and
won "a and lost 16. In 1908 he fell
below the 500 mark, for the only
season in his career, winning but IA
and losing 16, In 1909 he won 10 and
lost 10. His mark in 1910 was Is and
10. and last year he had anotner
great season, winning p and losing
but 8.
Plank's success is due TO his man
ner of living. He is the most careful
of hvers, always IN condition and al
ways careful to conserve his physical
resources 10 the limit. In the winter
he puts In his time on his big farm
near Gettysburg, Pa, where he leads
a bachelors life.
And what's more, during his long
years of service with the Mackmen,
he has never shown better form than
now.
This week the English challengers
for the British international trophy
will arrive In this country and will
be on hand to witness the trials OF

Safest Antiseptic
For Women to Use

In every household you will find
among the toilet necessities some sort
of a germicide, in the form of either
tablet, solution or powder. Many of
these antiseptic Preparations contain
poisons, and unless the greatest care is
used, much harm is done to the persons
using them.
The value of an absolutely harmless
antiseptic powder, as compared with &
poisonous tablet or solution, is ap-
parent to everyonu, and that is one
reason why physicians everywhere have
strongly recommended the use of Ty-
ree's Antiseptic Powder. Tyree's Anti
septic Powder should commend itself
therefore to every household. Unequal
ed as a douche. A 25-cent package
makes two gallons of standard solution.
Sold by druggists everywhere. Send
for booklet and sample. J. S. Tyree,
Chemist, Washington, D. c.

"HEARTSEASE" GIVEN
GOOD PRODUCTION
At THE COLUMBIA
Klein and Clark's Play
Carefully Interpreted by
Players.

The stilted phraseology and the
throbbing romance Of a period which
has long since become merely a men,
ory were revived at the F street
playhouse last night, when the Co.
lumbia Players gave Charles Klein's
and ]. l. Clarke's play, "Heartsease." "
Although the plot is one which in
variably receives instant sympathy
and understanding from the audience,
the struggles of a genius for recogni-
tion and a fame that would enable
him to reach his hearts desire, 1t
takes some little time for the speeches
to seem natural and the full purport
of the exaggerated courtesy discerned.
The role of Eric Temple offers an
unlimited field for the display Of the
actors emotional and dramatic art,
and Mr.. Robins proved himself en-
tirely capable Of handling all the re-
ond act. when his opera Is stolen from
him by his rival, Sir Geoffrey Pom
fret played by Godfrey Matthews.
Mr.. Robins gives a splendid reading
Of his lines, which paves the way for
his success in the next act
A not overcrowded, but insistent,
house demanded repeated curtain calls
after the scene with Sir Geoffrey in
the fourth act, where not only the
htIO, put thdl gentleman anu tne rest
of the company gave a strong and
most thrilling scene. There Is no
denying the fact that the remainder
of the cast gave by no manner of
means the finished and splendid work
that did Mr.. Robins, but their efforts
were highly satisfactory In the main.

INQUIRY
Of FREIGHT RATES
URGED BY KENYON
IoWan Wants Senate Com.
mittee to Probe Into Inter-
state Commerce.

Senator Kenyon introduced a resolu-
tion in the Senate today which is in
tended to lay the foundation for q
sweeping inquiry by the Senate Inter-
state Commerce Committee into rail-
road and transportation conditions in
this country with a view to compre-
hensive railroad legislation broadening
and Strengthening the interstate COM
merce laws.
The resolution proposes to have the
Interstate Commerce Committee lea rn
from the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion report what progress It has made
in pairing a scheme Of rate-making.
Senator Kenyon wants an inquiry as
to what proof Is required as to chal-
lenged rates and what burdens are i'm
posed on the public in attempts to Sc
cure such proof; and what discrimina-
tions are made by carriers.
Senator Kenyon wants a report, too,
on the practicability of Congress pre-
scribing maximum and minimum rates
on low grade commodities shipped In
large quantities. Facts as to ownership
and control OF water fronts, harbors
and wharves on the sea coast. rivers
and lakes and the effect of such own
ership and control on the public welfare
and the ownership and control Of rail-
road terminals Is another line OF infor-
nation on which Mr.. Kenyon wants
light from the commission.
He will try to get the resolution
through this session, or the first Of next
formation, he believes the Interstate
Commerce Committee will then be In
position to go ahead and recommend
comprehensive legislation.
