NEW YORK, June 1.-THE
latest plan for the world tour Of
the Giants and White SOx next
winter Is for the teams and the
accompanying party to charter
their own ship and go all the
way around in 1t. The idea has
been suggested to COmfskcy by
Ban johnson, who was here yes

president has talked with steam
ship officials and says vessel
can he had.
He thinks about 700 persons
would make the trip in the spe-

person of the trip would he re-
duced to about $1,000. Han ex-
poets to go along, and If he does
will call the annual meeting Of

want to he away three or four

When the great pitchers of the two
major leagues are considered Eddie
Plank must not be overlooked. Re-
ma rlla BILE. indeed, has been the work
of the veteran lefthander during the
past two seasons. While always an
artist Plank has shown to better ad-
vantage in the last two campaigns
than ever before.
1t is his remarkable pitching this
spring which HAS done much to keep
the Athletics in the lead. He is the
teams mainstay on the rubber, seldom
losing a game which he starts.
Though Plank is at the height of his
career, he insists that this is his last
season in base ball. He made up his
mind to retire at the end of last sea-
son. but was persuaded TO return to
the fold by Mack, along personal lines.
He has promised to go through the
present season. but says that no in
ducements will get him to change his
mind and return to the game next
season.
Plank would be hard to be replaced.
