EDDIE PLANK IS
DUPLICATING HIS
1913 PERFORM NANCE
Last Season Veteran Was
Going Bad at Finish, But
Braced for Series-A's
Meet White Sox Today.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Sept. 25-Eddie Plank,
Connie Mack's veteran sharpshooter
who, with Bender, Is scheduled to bear
the main pitching burden in the world s
series, is duplicating his performance of
last season. In 1913, Plank went well
after the first few weeks of the season,
until very near the close of the cam
pagn, when he was forced to retire sew
eral times before he had fairly started
his games. This was one of the reasons
why all of the information on the Ath-
letics-Glants series was to the effect that
the New Workers would have better pitch
ing
But Plank improved and fooled all by
pitching two of the most brilliant games
of his career. In Yesterdays game here,
Eddie started, but was relieved by Wye
kof in the second inning A few days
ago in etrolt Plank began pitching, but
had to have help.
Again today the Athletics will go to
the grounds with the White Sox. The
victory of the Mackmen yesterday aided
them greatly in the pennant race. The
Red Sox won easily from Rickey's rockies
in st. Louis, but the lead of five and
half games remained intact and the AS
were another day closer to the flag

HANK O'DAY AN
AVOWED ENEMY
OF EMERY BALL "
Cub Leader Opposed to Use
of Saliva Trick-Chicago
Will Meet Phillies Again
This Afternoon.

Hank O'Day, manager of the Cubs,
who will meet the Philles in the last
eame of the series this afternoon, the
weather permitting, is an avowed enemy
of the emery ball' and the "spit ball"
inst because Jimmy Lavender one of
uank's own men, is believed to have
used emery paper against the Phils re-
Gently. has no effect on the beliefs of
the Chicago leader.
In the appended terms Hank gave
his views on the use of emery paper
and saliva, as first aids to the pitcher:
."r have always contended that the spit
hall was out of order. 1t is foreign to
The game, and l think that anything
foreign to the game should be ruled
out BY the same token 1 think the
umpires, or some one, should prevent the
further use of emery paper, which helps
the pitcher great deal because the
ball breaks peculiarly"
"a lot of people think that the emery
bali is a new institution" continued
o'Day, but it isn't. OF course, the use
Of emery paper itself is a novelty, but
as for rubbing the ball with a substance
that will have the same effect as emery
paper, that is almost as old as the
game. l remember when certain
pitcher back in the old National League
used to keep a brick, partly buried in
the box on which he would rub the
ball and get it fuzzy, so that it would
take sudden hops.
Contrary to popular belief, the pitcher
does not grip the ball where it has been
make the ball break more sharply, be-
cause of the added spin which the
pitcher would get on it, but the idea
of the emery BALI is to have a section
of the surface rough and to hold that
surface beneath the hand when the ball
is delivered This fuzzy surface offers
resistance to the air and as a natural
consequence the ball will take a fast
jump, whether it is a fast one or a
curve.
"Just to show how this thing works
out. / once knew a pitcher who came |
from the Texas League, where the dia- |
monds were bare. In that league, after |
ball was hit few times it became more |
or less fuzzy, and the result was that the |
pitchers could curve them sometimes five |
or six feet. When this same pitcher was |
given a chance in the major leagues he |
was completely lost, because on the grass |
diamonds the balls remained smooth on |
the surface and this fellow couldn't get |
1t to break because ne had been accus- |
toned to grip one which was not smooth |

Pennsylvania Opens UP Its Sea-

Fur is Sure to Fly With Teams
in Shape.
By EDWARD R. BUSHNELL

Every day marks some development
for the better in the making of Penn
sylvania's backfeld. First Head Coach
Brooke brought about a decided i'm
provement in the kicking. The return
of Avery gave the Quakers a backfield
man who could get distance and height
to his punts. In addition to Avery two
other promising backfield men have
shown decided Improvement in the kick
ing line They are Irwin and Ballou,
rival candidates for the quarterback
position. Irwin has been used at quar-
ter with more regularity than Ballou.
and likewise has been used to do more
kicking, but the latter has already made
his reputation as a kicker. and when
the time comes it Isn't likely that he
will be outkicked by any one, with the
possible exception of Avery.
Yesterday Brooke concentrated his
preliminary coaching on teaching all the
backfield candidates to catch kicks and
run them back through a broken field.
In this work Merrill and Hughes have
been showing the best form. Brooke

There will be no scrimmage today be-
