Plank and Left Flanders.

Plank stands as an eternal knock to the theory that all left handlers are nuts The great southpaw has Leen one of the steadiest and sanest of pitchers for fifteen years
 Fn all that time he has had but one season where his victories did not outnumber his defeats. That was in 1908. Then he won fl games and lost 16. "The old boy is about through they said. He's no longer a kid, you know. Thirty-three years old. Been pitching in the big leagues eight years And then he's a left lander"
 But Plank has put away seven great seasons since, and in 1911 and 1912 he won AS games and lost but A, for an average above .75O. ".

The Champion.

The Champion. You wish you were the author of great Casey at the Bat'; That epic of the diamond to which you doff your hat; We all agree with you, G. R., it stands beyond compare, The brightest gem in baseball verse a priceless pearl and rare; Twill live as long as Random lives, and roOters yet unborn Will picture while their hearts throb fast, great Casey's look of scorn But when I think of poems that have made their authors shine I envy Mr. Riley for An Old Sweet heart of Mne.'' The grand old game I've always loved, and that you had in mind In wishing you had penned the pome where Casey whiffed the wind; Eut here I take a wider range as my thoughts carry me Up to the skies, across the land and oer the track1ess sea: Of angels, men and mermaids, men in every age have sung And souls soothed by sweet singers are ever blithe and young: I prize old Homer's Iliad and The Comedy Divine But--I wish I could have written "An Old Sweetheart of Mine."

Both Matty and Plank have seven years to go before they equal Cy Young's record of 22 major league campaigns The Paoli Phenom pitched S19 games over 300. more big league contests than any other entry. When you beat a record by 500 games you might be registered as travelling quite a clip.

Another Superstar.

Matty isn't the only big league pitcher packing his grip for his six teenth trip to a training camp.
 For there is also the case of Eddie Flank, who has not only been in the big league as long as Mathewson, but who is five years older. l And what is even more impressive, Plank is still ready to step out and pitch winning ball.

Plank and NIathewson.

In their fifteen years service Mathewson and Plank have lost about the same number of games, but Mathewson has won about 60 more.
 The Giant star has been called upon for good deal more work, for Plank has rarely worked 40 games, while Matty has more often than not worked in from 40 to 50 contests Mathewson's average for the 15 sea- sons is .680; Plank's $40.

If Willard will do the same, aban= dCning stricGly defensive tactics in
 the thought that he is supposed to provide $47,50 worth of entertain
 1n ent in thirty minutes, the fight
 sbould be a good one. But if Willard
 decides merely to defend his title for ten rounds in the safest possible way
 being content to outpoint Moran and keep out of range when the Hay
 maker begins to quiver, the gap be-
 tween thrills will be somewhat eX- tended.
New Britain herald., 1916-02-25
Maybe.

Mcfarland and Gibbons, two of the fastest men that ever fought, put up the worst fight anybody ever saw. This may be a strong statement, but that is the kind of a fight it was.
 Maybe Willard and Moran, both rnuch slower, may prove that speed isn't necessary to bring the thrill.
 Moran will undoubtedly step out and give all the battle that he has.

Plank, Mathewson and Brown are the pitching veterans of 1916. Among ; them they have been in 13 worlds series-Plank in 5, Mathewson in and Brown in 4. And the pitching

Plank and 1916,

The wonder of it is that at forty one the veteran left handler looks about as good as he looked fifteen years ago, when he came from Gettys- burg College to Mack's firing line.
 1T first batted against Plank" said George Stoval, ''about ten years ago. He was as hard to hit in 1915 as he was in 1905. As far as I could make cut, he. had just as much stuff He still had that hop, and his curve ball cracked off just as sharply as it did ten years ago. He still has anywhere from IS to 20 wins left in his system if he isn't overworked.'

Milwaukee. Wis, oct. 20.-In an
address at the annual meeting of the
American Association for Study and
Prevention of Infant Mortality in this
city tonight, DR. Borden S. Veeder of
st. Louis directed attention to the
fact that although measles and
whooping cough are such everyday
events that they are regarded of little
importance. between 5000 and 10000
children die annually in the United
States from each Of, these diseases.
Thus" he said. each of these dis
eases causes more deaths than scar
let fever and a great many more
than infantile paralysis over half
Of the deaths from whooping couph
are in infants under one year of age
and 90 per cent in children under
10. Measles likewise has its highest
mortality among infants. The wide
spread idea that it Is a good thing
for a child to have these diseases
early and get over with It" is erro-
neous. The younger the child the
higher the fatality rate. In infancy
some ten out Of every hundred cases
die. while the mortality rate in chill
