Remarkable Streak.

This would be a remarkable streak if spun out by Alexander or Johnson or any star in his prime.
 But for a veteran forty years old, at least eight years beyond the aver age pitching life, it is one of the most ren1arkable achievem ents in the his tory of sport.
 In four games of vital importance Plank, at forty two, allows just eight hits, an average of two hits to the contest
 It Is no light feat to pitch one two- hit game Working two in succession is a rare achievement which few pitchers know in the course of a sea- son.
 To average two hits a game for four games in a row is beyond all diagnosis It is one of those things that cant be done until suddenly it happens.

AMBITION OF LIFE GAINED
Pop Geers Does Mile Under Two
 Minutes for First Time in Career Napoleon Direct Runs in 1859 3-4,

Columbus, Ohio, Aug 1.-The Free-for-All Pace at the Columbus Grand Circuit meeting yesterday af- ternoon produced the fastest racing time of the year. In the first heat, Napoleon Direct won in 1:59 3-4, with Peter Stevens the second horse, doing his mile in minutes flat. It was the first time in a driving career of forty-fiVe years that Edward Geers ever held the reins in a mile covered better than two minutes.
 In the next heat the pace was slower through the first half, and Ma poleon Direct was four lengths back at the far turn. He closed with a won- derful rush and finished ahead in front of Single G. Separate timing caught Napoleon Direct the last half in 5S 1-2 seconds.
 In a time trial Directum I, became the worlds champion pacer for one and one-sixteenth miles. The old rec ord was 2:14 3-4, made in 1904 by Cherry Lass. Off to a slow start Di rectum I. did the distance in 200 IA.
 Miss Harris M, the champion four year-old pacing mare, failed in an effort to lower her mark of 2:01 IA. She was tired when the final quarter was commenced and finished the mile in POP.
 Napoleon Direct was one of three winning favorites Tn the 2:09 pace, the second choice, Beth Clark, won the first two heats. Thereafter, Baby Bertha, highest in public favor, was in command and took the next three heats. The Enc, as expected, won the Eli trot in straight heats in front of McCloskey, and cut his record to 2:O6 3-4, keeping clear of the field in the second mile.
 Early Don, Valentines first win ner of the meeting, captured all three heats of the Devereux Stake, for which Brisac of the Murphy stable was favored. Early Don equaled his record 2:06 IA. In the first heat and was not so hard pressed in either the next two.

Another Detail.

Here is another detail" continued Coakley. Even as a youngster back with the old Mackmen, Plank ire quently complained of sore arm. He had trouble here and there with his elbow and his shoulder He was not an iron man in any sense of the Word and he did his share of Wor- rying in the box. So he was not one of these pitchers with ice water in his veins, one of the type that never frets or bothers. He was a pitcher you would figure might last five or six years as a star. But here he is today at forty-two in his seventeenth campaign. pitching more brilllalsly than he ever worked in his life. 1 have kept close track of baseball for a long time, but 1 cant recall i'll all that time any such continued eXhi- bition as these four games of Plank's against New York Boston. Washing

is fading out; Mattys pitching days are over; the great Johnson is be- ginning to get his here and there; but Plank, lefthanded, forty-twO, seventeen years in harness, not rug ged of frame is rushing through one two-hit game after another in the strain of a flag race almost without an equal.
 As a master achievement Plank S latest exhibition is a wonderful thing
 to contemplate. But when you link
 this with his career for seventeen years there are hardly words express sive enough to tell the story. For it goes far beyond the record of
 games won and lost. as great a rec ord as this has been.
 It is an achievement that rests well beyond the eternal dope. Cy Young lasted tWentytWo seasons, but Cy was husky giant. who started around twenty-two with an easy mo- ton and a fast ball to work with And Cy. as great as he was. was not peelng off two-hit games in success

New York, Aug. 1.-The unbound ed liberality of Gould, one of Cleve- lands young pitchers, resulted in a. victory for the Yankees in yesterdays game at the Polo Grounds the score being to 3. Gould was like a sailor with six months savings. He gave away enough passes in the opening inning to pave the way for five runs plenty to Win-despite the Indians at tempted rally in the ninth.
 Ten of the Yankees went to bat in the opening inning. There were four passes, three hits, and a sacrifice hit Tn the collection. Gould didn't last very long, but was derricked when he had passed three batsmen and two others had hit safely. He was suc- ceeded by Klepfer, who was inclined to be bit generous himself until he steadied in the second inning. Aft CT that he pitched fine ball and tha Yankees had no more opportunities to score:

Concerning Plank.

Plank is one of the marvels of all times. Consider these details:
 1. He was twenty-five years old before he entered the major league
 2. He had no minor league train ing or development of any sort.
 8. He lacked the great physical powers of Walsh, Mathewson, John son. Alexander or Young.
 5. Where weather conditions were at all favorable he has not pitched three really bad ball games in ten years.
 6. He has pitched exceptionally fine ball in every world series and he was a leading factor in five of these.
