PLANK EXPECTS TO
BE PITCHING WHEN
He REACHES so
(By Associated Press. !

Detroit. Mich, July 2.-"I wouldn't
be surprised IL / will be pitching
baseball when / am so years old"
Eddie Plank, the 42-year-
southpaw with the st. Louis Ameri
cans, made this statement to Detroit
friends after he had won the only
victory which his team was able ia
take in the present five-game series
with the Tigers.
Although Plank has lost much of
his speed and the sharp break on his
curve ball, he has developed q float
er" that probably will stop many
batsmen before the Gettysburg won
der closes his career. Plank's brains.
plus his control. a fair curve and his
slow ball, enable him to pitch ef-
fectively with minimum amount OF
physical exertion. In the Detroit
series the ball came IN % the plate
as big as Zeppelin. The Detroit
sluggers lunged and swung, but sell
dom hit the sphere safely.
In one-inning Plank pitched slow
balls to Cobb. Ty hit one and popped
out.
II ought to have my throat cut for
hitting at that stuff, Ed" shouted
Cobb, as he trotted back from first
base.
But Cobb knew that he had to hit
for Plank was putting his slow
ball, waist high, across the plate.

Smoky Joe" Burdens bone in
passing Lefty" Thomas with the
bases intoxicated in the last of the
fifteenth inning, broke up the long
est extra inning game in the North
ern league this season, and gave
Fargo Moorhead a. 4 to 8 victory over
Minot at Moorhead league park Sum
day afternoon.
Burden had two strikes and three
balls on Thomas. One man was out.
Boardman, who walked in from
third base, got on when Brautigan
failed to handle his liner. Turner
was an easy out. Boil singled, and
Bachant walked. Previous to the
fifteenth, Burden had allowed but
five scattered hits.
The game. though slow. was a
tight pitchers battle between Burden
and Thomas. Thomas pitched con-
sistent ball, allowing but eight hits.
Minot Scores First.
,Minot scored first, putting over a
run in the first inning with three
hits. Fargo Moorhead went into the
lead in the fourth, getting to Burden
for three runs. Minot tied the score
in the sixth. From that time until,
the last of the fifteenth, there was
nothing doing in the scoring line.
Both teams f1elded beautifully
despite a high wind. recording but
'oRe error apiece. Neither was costly.
Debus Is Injured.
Adam Debus, Fargo Moorhead's
crack shortstop, suffered a mashed
thumb in the sixth. in stopping hot
liner. The blow raised the thumb
nail, forcing Debus to spend the rest
of the game in left garden, Haley
goffig to second, and Boil to short.
The injury, however, will not keep
Debus out of the game.
I'm spite of a cold, raw wind, ap-
proximately 500 fans saw the game.

Ted Lewis.

Ted Lewis. the new welterweight
champion, who took the title from
Jack Britton in their recent bout at
Dayton, o.. is not contented to be the
king Of one class alone. Lewis has
ambitions that would make him the
holder of a few other titles as well.
Lewis Isl one OF the few fighters
who are able to make most any
weight without sacrifice Of their
best speed and strength. 1t is said
of him that he can run up and down
the poundage scale like q monkey
on a stick and never seem TO feel
the difference. When he fought Brit
ton he weighted in around 142 and
We he has often fought six or eight
pounds heavier and can also trim
down to 1876 pounds without trouble.
James Joy johnson, Lewis's man
ager, was one Of the first to an
nounce q real opponent for Bennie
Leonard when the latter won the
lightweight title and was thought by
many to be without a worthy COM
petitor. Lewis will be glad to make
135 pounds for Leonard" said John
ston, land he will put up the same
fight at that weight that he always
has in meeting boxers Is and IS
pounds heavier
Whether Lewis gets the chance to
meet Leonard as proposed is doubt
full at present, but there is no aues-
ton that he is remarkable for his
ability to train to any weight and
always put up a dazzling scrap.
There is also little doubt that the
welterweight class now has a very
formidable champion and one who
looks able to hold the crown for
some time to come,
Lewis is said to be only % years
old and looks good for quite a few
more years of his fiashy battling.

hands and the day may pass without
the browning of new champ. But 1t
is probable that the outcome Of the
battles may alter the sporting map
The Gibbons-Chip bout TO take
place at Youngstown, o., should go
quite way toward settling the mid
dieweight question, Although the
middleweight title IL said to be in
the possession Of Al Mccoy, his
claim to it Is not very seriously re-
garded. Mccoy won the belt from
George Chip in a doubtful manner
and Chip is still eager to have Ii
back Mike Gibbons, however. has
long been held the brightest star of
the class and though he has not
owned the title Chip viii have to de-
