PLANK WORLDS
BEST S0U7HPAW
(By Frank G. Menke.)

New York, July 2S.-Eddie Plank
deserves the title OF the greatest
left-handed pitcher" that ever lived.
For Is years-19O1 to 1914-the
wonderful southpaw was the Mackian
mainstay. For Is years he pitched
the kind of baseball that helped the
Athletics to win large flock of pen
nants and a number Of world cham
pion titles.
And now, in his 41st year, and his
18th in baseball, he is the pitching
sensation of the Federal league. Cast
adrift by his old boss, he connected
with job in the new league and is
back at his old trick of rolling up a
huge winning percentage.
The most amazing part of Plank's
work this year is the fact that he is
pitching to batters who are new to
him. He hasn't the benefit of the
experience gained in other years to
aid him. He doesn't know the
strength and the weakness of the bat
ters who face him, as he did in the
American league. He must lae:n as
he goes. He must pit the old south
paw whip, absolutely unaided, against
IHH FeuGTdl ItdSuc NlVutClo. 1alu iAC
has done so successfully.
Plank is one of the very fey left
handlers who has no eccentricities.
He has been normal in his conduct,
a gentleman on the ballfield and off,
and all through the 16 years of his
major league career he has graced the
game by his presence.
The last of the Delehantys has
passed from major league view, and
for the first time in nearly 25 years
no member of the famous baseball
family is listed among the big league
stars.
There were five Delehanty brothers.
all of them trained on the sand lots
in Cleveland, and every one Of the
five found his way into the big show,
remaining there long enough to add
lustre to the baseball fame of the
family
Ed Delehanty was the first brother
to enter the big leagues. He blossom
ed into a major league star in the
late sos, and from then on until 1908,
when he met tragic death by falling
from a bridge He ranked as one OF
the greatest batsmen the game ever
produced. He hung I'D clouting re-
cords that remain to this day.
Tom was the second brother to
play major league baseball. Some
thing like Is years ago, short time
before the death Of Ed, he landed on
the Cleveland team and played a
fine game.
Joe Delehanty was the third. He
played with st. Louis for a number
of years. Jim was the fourth brother
tot eater the big leagues, and Jim last
ed long time as a major Lacquer
He was star with the Detroit Tigers
for many years. and ranked as one
of the best infielders in the business.
In 1914, Jim jumped to the Feds. The
other day he was released to the Co.
lonial league, the minor organization
of the Feds.
Frank was the fifth Delehanty
brother to play in the majors. He
was with Cleveland for time and
later played with the Yankees.
And now there are no more Dele
hantys. The last has passed beyond
the Dig league horizon and the name
that once was the most famous In
baseball is but memory.

Some Anachronlsms.


It n question, parentheticany
whether 1t is truly sportsmanlike to
live in a quaint old colonial cottage
with furnace and electric lights. l
have heard amateurs Of the colonial
declare that they would willingly die
before they would live in an electrically
lighted colonial cottage. The anach'
ronism horrifies them: they would
nave death or candles. Probably they
feel the same way about furnace and
a bathroom. Yet have no doubt that
the builders of this colonial cottage
would have opened their hearts to all
these Inventions; and I am not sure
that they would have regarded as
anything but funny the idea that their
own kitchen paraphernalia would some
day be used to decorate my dining
room. go further. Granting that
electric light, furnace. and a bath
room are anachronisms in this quaint
old colonial cottage-what am ! but
an anachronism myself? We must

OCTOBER 81 TO Be
"GO.10.S.-S. DAY"
State Wide Movement Is
Launched to Have Every
body Attend Bible Class.

Little Rock, July 2S.-The next gen
eral movement that is to engage the
attention of the church-going people
of the state is ''go-to-Sunday-s chool
Day" It is explained by General Sec
rotary H. E. Lufkin in the following
statement:
sThe great impetus that Sunday
school work has given to religious
life in the last few years has inspired
the leaders in many states to issue a
call for 'Go-to Sunday-school Day.
when the entire community as far as
possible may be in attendance at some
Sunday school.
1.-THE state wide movement has been
started by the Arkansas Snday school
association to make October 81 me-
morable as 'Go-to-S Sunday school Day.
Governor Hays has issued procla-
nation calling upon the citizenship OF
the state to attend some Sunday
school on that date, and lend its IN
fluence to the movement.
Because of the popularity OF the
Sunday school it is expected THAT
the mayor of every city Of Arkansas
will issue proclamation in line with
that of the governor, asking the en-
tire community to attend some school
on that date. The normal attendance
on any one Sunday is estimated at
about 100000, but it is expected that
on this special day at least 100000
will be in attendance.
"The Sunday schools and Sunday
school workers of the state are asked
to promote this movement, and use
every endeavor to induce the whole
community to turn out. Hints and
suggestions as to the observance OF
the day may be had from the associa
ton in Little Rock that is preparing
to issue an order of services for use
on that day."
