victory on Saturday, Plank duplicated
Nfattvs effort Of the second game when
unlike his veteran contemporary he
weathered every storm and by superb
demonstration OF all those things which
make his pitching excellent lac stood the
Giants on the beamsends.
plank's famous southpaw was there
forty ways and to the very last flicker
had the stuff to make puny the efforts
OF the Giant battcrs No kid pitcher
could have displayed greater stuff than
was shown by Plank At the conclusion
of his game his friends displayed their
feelings by bearing the veteran twirler
from the field on their shoulders.
just SO certainly as Plank was there
Just so certainly we're the Giant bat
fcrs not there and IL while the veteran
Niatheuson pitched the full nine innings
without an earned run being registered
cf his delivery. Two fatal errors be-
hind him were sufficient with the
eeratch hits he YIELDED 10 give the Ath-
kcti0s the runs needed TO cinch the game
i the championship. In like man
Hcr the one lone run registered by the
knnts was made possible only by an
Nddition to the error column but in this
base the error was charged to Plank
Himself.
