Mack. who called him on the long
distance telephone at Gettysburg. and
followed up his letter to him begging
him to again become a member Of the
Athletics this season.
Plank informed his manager that
he had decided to withdraw from the
game. It was not a question Of being
a hold-out, for the money that Mack
offered him was bigger than he had
ever received. The great southpaw
reasoned with his manager, and told
him that he was we'll enough along
in years. and that he amassed enough
money to keep him for the rest Of his
life. and that his farming interests
wore such that he must attend to
them.
Despite this Mack argued and rea-
soned with his great star. He told
him that he must play this year for
he had not been able to put through
any of the deals which he had in mind
at the American league meeting. and
that all the other managers had held
out against trading him a pitcher.

not only pleaded, but he talked to his
