III ow They
are Hitting

While the Tigers did not equal
the mark of the week previous,
they batted very good against
Portland, the team average being
.27O. The Cats made 81 hits i'm
seven games. Only two regulars
hit over 300, Fries keeping up
his good work and Harris climb
ing up from his former obscure
position.
Fries made 10 hits and batted
.349. Harris batted 1868. Ten
Million had a nice average, maxi
ing nine hits for an average of
.290. HARRISON, Lanham, Crisp
and Neighbors hit $50.
Joe McGinnity batted 900 last
week.
In base stealing the Bengals
excelled, swiping 2S sacks during
the week. This is almost a rec
ord. Fries and Million were the
leading burglars, with five each.
HARRISON and Hensling stole
three apiece.
Twelve extra base slams were
garnered by the Tigers, includ-
inc one triple and eleven doubles.
Million and McMullin got brace
of doubles each, and Hensling
cracked out a double and triple.
The leading rungetter was Fries,
with seven.

SOMEWHAT OLD, BUT IN THE RING
EDDIE PLANK, THE BOY SOUTHPAW

So many left-handed athletes
have done strange things. that
long ago the species was CLASH
fed as squirrel food--nuts as 1t
were-but even the most mag
NATIVE person would hesitate to
classify that eminent Gettysburg
guide, Edward s. Plank, as Pc
can.
Plank is 3S. He began pitch
ing about the time the first ma
tional agreement was written and
has been doing fairly good Job
of 1t ever since.
Remember, Plank uses his left
arm exclusively. when pitching.
which makes his performance
more remarkable. Three years
ago this stem-winder was told he
was all In. He had finished. Then
he started all over again.
Since that time he has pitched
something ike 81 or So victories
while being defeated 16 or II
times. His record this year at
last accounts was 10 victories out
of Is starts, which for a man only
3S, is considered pretty fair work.
By the time he is so Plank ought
to be regular pitcher.
The public doesn't hear of Ed
die Plank as 1t does of Christy
Mathewson, Walter johnson or
"Reb" Russell, but it was E.
Plank who stood the Giants upon
their heads for the first defeat
in the 1911 worlds series and has
made the hardest hitting teams
in the land feed out of his hand
without choking.
This year Plank is better than
he has ever been. With the Amer
lean league pennant practically
won. Mack has commenced plan
ming for the big games in October
and will not work either Mack or
Bender. who will be his best bets
more than enough to keep their
throwing arms in condition.

But, really it was great game, trite tho that
