his effort to regain ris lost laurels

is expected to make it interesting for
the title holder.
The matches between McLouehlin
and Church, and between Johnston and
Beekman will hold the center of in
terest today with the favor resting
with the former match. The flame
topped Californian always has been a
must Popular payer, and the crowds
at Forest Hills have been with him
from the start of the tourney this
year
The "comet s. defeat of Theodore
Roosevelt Pell yesterday was spectac-
ular in many ways. There were few

Welsh, who has worked steadily now
at hard clip for longer period than
at any time since he won the cham.
pionship, appears to be in great condi-
tlon. Some experts have wondered
whether he has not trained too fine
but his manager and members of his
camp scoff at this. They say Welsh is
in shape to put up q wbirlwind battle
over the full marathon route if neces.

A slight irritation in Whites dspo.

leaked out today that White has ap.
parently abandoned the idea that he
can knock out Freddie with his famous
left hook, and is developing a new of,
fensive for the battle, using right
swing for his heavy artillery. 1t was
explained that White has been making
caseful study of the English method
of boxing and has found it was almost
impossible to land left solidly

The final touches were put on the
arena yesterday and a heavy canvas

The local sale of tickets continues

the assumption that there will be no
strike would be foolish and might
prove to be extremely unfortunate.
1.-The orders which the managements
of the railways have issued, placing
embargoes upon the shipment of most
kinds of freight and directing that 9th.
er kinds of freight shall be accepted
subject to delay are rapidly going into
effect and shippers, consignees and the
public are beginning to feel the result
of the strike without it having actual
ly occurred.
:" 1t is hoped that travellers as well
as shippers will act on the warning of
the railways and not start upon journ-
eys which could not be finished before
the strike order goes into effect.
"The railways believe that in stand

cost of strike, they have been trying
to protect not only their own interests
but those of the public. -

EDDIE PLANK FORTY-ONE
YEARS OLD YESTERDAY
Great Left-Handed Stabster
Will Pitch As Long As He
Feels Like It
Ry Hamilton

| Omitted Press staff correspondent
/ New York, Aug. 3l.-Eddie Plank.
! hero of many world s series battle,
was II years old yesterday.
! The southpaw master, several times
relegated to the scrap heap by fans and
sporting writers and once by Connie
Mack, still is in the game, and the pres
ent season promises to be one of the
best in his long career.
Early this month Plank allowed only
seven hits in three games, winning ev-
cry one of them. And it was his former
team mates, the Athletics, who broke his
winning streak August Is, in tight
pitching battle.
Plank left Gettysburg college to be-
come member of the Athletics in 1901.
Hence this is his sixteenth year as a
big league hurler. He helped the Ath-
letics to pennants in 1902, 1905, 1910.
1911, 1913 and 1914.
When Connie Mack began the dis
memberment of his famous team early
in 1914, among the first to 90 were
Jack Coombs and Eddie Plank, and both
of them went by the unconditional re.
/ lease route.
Coombs caught on with Brooklyn and
has done good work. Plank signed with
the Federal league and was sent to St.
Louis. He did noble work for the Feds
and this year Fielder Jones kept him.
Plank declares he never has had q
sore arm, because he has made pitching
study.
"When / quit the game" he said.
it will be because m tired of it. |
think in five more years I'll be ready
to stay at home.
That would make him As when he
quits.
Pitching is job" he said. "It
must be studied by the pitcher He
must study the Othersfellow, the batter,
and learn what he cannot hit. l never
have had any trouble with the great
batters, with the exception of Cobb.
You can't fool Cobb. He will hit most
anything"
Plank declares lie never curves bali
in spring training until at least a week
has passed. and attributes the long ser
vice of his arm to that fact.
Joe Gede0n, who has been playing
second base for the Yankees. and who
looked like a world -beater in the early
weeks, now looks like a fliver. His de-
parture from the American league is ex
pected soon.
Leo Fohl has oOdles of confidence in
ms young pitchers. He declares he new
er saw two better looking youngsters
than Gould and Lambeth.

the idol of fans following the for.
tunes of the Yankees.

There was further assurance today
tnat the price of foodstuffs will be
lower rather than higher as a result

noted in the slumpinS of the prices of

Awaiting the Outcome

New York, Sept. big eastern
railroads are waiting for more definite
assurances from Washington that there
will be no strike of the four hundred
thousand employees before freight EN-.
bargoes which became effective today
and tomorrow are lifted.
AT the Pennsylvania it was said that
some action might be taken today to.
ward relieving the drastic embargo
which places ban on all freight, but
no definite assurances can yet be Civ
en- shippers. The New York Central
is frankly waiting for more positive
assurances that the strike order will
be withdrawn. Other lines are expect.
ed to follow suit.
Embargoes on all perishable goods
including foodstuffs, livestock and mu.
nitions are now in effect. This means
there-will be no fresh shipments of
food to the larger cities until the
freight ban is lifted and unless some
definite word comes from the train

here are up eight cents a pound. Pro.
duce advanced from 10 to 25 per cent
and meat followed.
At the Grand Central terminal, the
Pennsylvania stations and stations of
all other lines, thousands poured
through today hurrying nome ahead of
the threatened strike.
The New Haven reported several
extra trains in operation. Reports from
New England summer resorts and all
points along the Atlantic coast indicate
that vacationers have been leaving as
rapidly as possible.

Think Strike Will Come

Chicago, Sept. l.-Outwardly, at
least, pessimistic as to the ability OF
Washington legislation to prevent a

From the office of j. W. Higgins

behalf of the presidents and general
managers which threw on congress and
the brotherhoods all responsibility in
ease of a strike and appealed to the
public to afford adequate protection
to the railroads in their attemp TO op.

statement said:

Washington, May 18.-Secretary
McAdoo today submitted to Chairman
Kitchins of the house ways and means
committee, and Chairman Simmons of
the senate finance committee, revised
estimates on the governments re-
ceipts and expenditures for the re-
mainder of the fiscal year ending
June 10, 1917. The. estimate tended
to show that only about hundred
and fifty million dollars additional
revenue would have to be provided
for the coming year to take care of
the preparedness program. This is
less, by seventy-five million, than the
most conservative members of con-
gress calculated at the outset of the
session, would be needed. All addi-
tional revenue comes from Texas on
incomes, inheritances and munition in
accordance with the plan approved
last week by President Wilson. Lead
er Kitchin announced today that the
revenue raising plan would be whip
ped into shape in the next two weeks
and the house would begin to consider
it Immediately after the national con
ventions.
