EDWARD S PLANK is eccentric.
He pitches with his left arm,
- which is slang for being a south
paw. and he is a bachelor. It is hard
to tell of which achievement he is the
prouder because nearly all professional
ball players get married as soon as
they appear regularly in the batting
order.
Mr. Plank is a model young man and
one at whom the Sunday school super
intendents point with pride He does
not smoke, drink or chew, and there
fore it has always been impossible for
him to throw the spitball No pitcher
ever did this successfully without
great collection of fine cut in his cheek.
Mr.. Plank depends on straight away
'legit' stuff to deceive
Planks understructure resembles
hair pin. and his upper half looks like
an exclamation point. He has been
using this model for cross fire pur-
poses several years now and with great
success except What he has sent sew
