as Plank almost IS steady, anu WHAT
rs more. he had the god of sport and
the game at bis side youth, steel
wired, supple and buoyant that ate
up work and grew stronger as the
war progressed and the day slipped
by
And the day slipped by.
Plank fought for i've rounds with his
arm and for the other five with his
heart and soul Busli was as fast in
the ninth round as in the iirst--bnt tax
ing no credit from his fine pitching he
had nothing TO worry over with field
battery around him driving over runs
IN clusters of two and three at a clip.
Plank had a. battle to ight-Bush had
a cskewalk 10 lead but Il must be
said that he led it well and those who
are curious TO know what youngster
Connie has to stop the Giants now have
the answer. And Bush is only on par
With Brown aud Shawlley. II has been
some years now since we have winged
the old. pill INTO a glove. but while our
speed couldn't dent the cuticle of Gus
tard pie. give us that Mackian artillery
around MS and Wen win more games
than wen lose in season. Tho law
Of Newtonian gravity operates against
p .pitchers defeat once Collins and Bak-
er get their sights properly adjusted
and begin to go to it.. Young Carroll
Brown tried It ouce against Detroit by
yielding Is passes and -. hits and even
then he couldn't make IL for his team
won, 10 TO S.
Whose Next?
McGraw now has one problem left
the discovery Of someone outside OF
Mathewson who can check this slug
rinc crew. Against Mathewson tho
kthletics have batted 30 altogether
and 400 in phch Against Alsrquard
Tesreau and Crandsll they have hatted
.3l5 altogether about Gso in pinch
Demaree has better chance than
anyone besides the veteran for Mobile
AT, the human perfccto. will mix his
delivery mp in better shape and come
closer TO outguessing the foe. Mat
guard was effective against the Rcd soN,
but he has tried three starts against
the Mackmen and has yet to lose a
game 1esreau has worked in four
world series contests but he has yet to
come through with well pitched con
test upon these classic occasions.
Mathewson has always responded and
now aictiraw is crowded on TO pemaree,
a slender slabman with short motion
but . long head Demaree is frail
piece of pitching flesh against formid-
able array Of batting power but in ad-
dition to having considerable on that
old pill he has the art of putting II
where you would rather not have it.
Demaree would be a good man TO get
set for and The enemy is not likely 10
be nearly so effective against his work.
They had p shots ut him IN the Ma
tional League aud they beat him exact
" four times.
The Giants Attack.
I. The Giant attack Is about as strong
as It was expected to be. II has inn
proved over 1911 where the squsd hit
( but .lTo. Now il has forged on to 22u
! but it isn't likely TO find Bender as far
of a. the Chief WAS ON Tuesday, He
was on that day and on his next start
with do better
When the time arrives there is. If
Plank isn't ready. a Mr. Leslie Joseph
Bush in tho rifle pit. And last fall
where Hcrzog was busting the ball on
the beezcr, tlris iall finds him three
games out without hit
/ But after all ii makes no great differ
cnce what pitcher Mack uses until Me.
Gfaw can 6nd an aide to Msthewsor
t1gho can plug Collins and Baker Pos
sibly Il can be done. but Columbus had
no Harder lob IN discovering America
Wen know more about it when Dema
rec is through
