Eddie Plank Retires
From Baseball After
II Years In Majors

Detroit, Aug. 15-Eddie Plank, the
veteran left-hander, has retired per-
manently from baseball, Fielder
Jones, of the st. Louis Americans
made this known yesterday when he
announced that Plank had left the
team last Saturday and gone to his
home at Gettysburg, Pa
Plank informed him, Jones said,
that his reason for retiring was that
the strain of baseball was thing on
him, causing trouble with his ,stom-
acl1..
Plank's last game was pitched in
Washington a week ago Monday,
when Walter Johnson defeated him
1 to o, in II innings.
Plank will be AZ years old the last
day of this month. He was born at
Gettysburg, Pa, on Aug. 81, 1876. He
started his major league career with
the Philadelphia Athletics in 1901.
At the end of the 1914 worlds series
between the Braves and Athletics,
Mack decided to- rebuild his team.
He tried to send Bender and Plank
to the Baltimore club, but Plank re-
fused to go.
Before waivers had been secured,
Plank signed, on Dec. 2, with the St.
Louis Federal league team. When
that organization disbanded, Eddie
was declared to be the property OF
the st. Louis Browns, with which
team he has remained since.

certain types of player with firm
hand but there is never a time when
he needs to be; a bully. If he thinks
he does need to resort to such tao
tics he will find the fault in himself
rather. than his men. Criticism is
always necessary but it should rare
ly, be destructive. Constructive ad-
vice is what most players need and
profit by. 1t is certainly better to
rouse a players interest and enthusi-
asm by friendly suggestion than to
fire his resentment and promote a
disposition to shirk by riding him.
No high order. of intelligence is
needed to disclose the fact that Pitts
burgh is not the strongest club in the
league. But am well pleased with
the boys. am convinced of their
cooperation and am very hopeful of
the future. I can make no predic-
lions, would make none if I were GER
tain in my own mind of the results
But our club will be out there play
ing steady, progressive type of ball
or I will be the worst fooled man in
America.

FIRST SETTLEMENT
In THE NEW WORLD

The first permanent settlement in
the new world was established at
Panama s39s years ago. today, Aug.
Is, 1919, by Pedrarias, the Spanish
governor. In exploring the Pacific
coast along the Isthmus the Spanish
adventures found small fishing viii
lage called Panama, and on the date
given above the governor established
his capital there. Tw years later,
by royal decree, Panama was made
city and the seat of a Bishop. Pana-
ma became the center for Spanish
explorations in North and South
America. 1t was from Panama in
1912 that SPizarre began his voyage
which ended in the discovery Of Peru
After that a highway was established
across the Isthmus, following much
the same route as the great canal of
the present day, and over this the
great wealth of Peru was transported
to the great Spanish treasure ships

GINGRAS TOUCHED
UP FREELY, WHILE
AMERICANS SLEEP

Manager Krichel boasts Of a team
Of sluggers, and ali pitching looks
alike to the boys these days. The
slab artists resemble 42-centimeter
German guns and the ball diminishes
to the size of a pea as it speeds to the
plate. Particularly is this true when
the cushions are crowded and a crisis
is impending. Yesterday was no ex-
ception, and the Portland Para
mounts, who are sweeping along true
to form, rode rough-shod over the
Americans by a 5 to count. The
battle was staged on alien soil, and
the resistance of the Americans, ac-
cording to wire dispatches, resembled
the fight of the Russians in southern
GaHcia.
Bob Spaid twirled consistently for
the opposition. and was aided by bril-
liant support, which came to his res
cue on two or three occasions when
KrichePs cohorts threatened to cheat
the kalsomine brush. On the other
paw, Gingras was touched up freely
and backed up indifferently. The
Americans will attempt to reverse
the result this afterpoon.

a son of the great Ballot, carried the
colors of J. w. Parrish to a credit
able, victory in the Saranac Handi-
cap yesterday, afternoon. The VIC
tory was pleasing to the majority OF
folks present, for Midway was a
heavily played 8 to 1 favorite; at one
time he was around 4 to 1. Over a
length behind Midway came Corn

from HOLSTER in the run down the

HOLSTER looked to have second
money tied up, when McTaggart
sneaked through on the rail, and, in
a driving finish, nipped HOLSTER out
of the middle end purse. Midway ran
the mile in 1899 3-5, which was fast

the course.

Of an article in the September Base

say, "Bezdek is a Bohemian, gradu-

uses faultless English but hee also
speaks German fluently, has good
command of French, is equally pro-
ficient in Bohemian and conerses

he specialized in Chemistry and has

net CHAMPIONS
ARE DRAWN FOR
BIG TOURNAMENT

New York, Aug. 15--In the presence
of George Townsend Adee, president
of the United States National Lawn
Tennis Association the draw for the
national singles tournament to start
next Monday morning on the turf
courts Of the West Side Tennis Club
at Forest Hills, L. l., was made yes
terday- morning in the Office of the
association.
Julian S. Myrick, president of the
West Side Tennis Club; Paul B. Will
liams, field secretary of the, national
body, and half a dozen newspaper men
were also present.
Sixty-four Of the leading players
of the country, including six of the
FIRST ten,'' will begin play in the
greatest event of the year on the
courts. Heading the list is Richard
Norris Williams, Cd, present holder of
the national title, and among the
other stars afe Robert Lindley Muir
ray, formerly of California;; S. How
ard voshell, national indoor cham
pton; Clarence j. Griffin, national
doables champion; Harold A. Throck-
morton, national interscholastic cham
pion; Malcolm D. Whit---an, national
title holder of 1898. 1899 and 1900;
Frederick B. Alexander, famous in
ternationalist and former national

R. Pe11, Joseph J. Armstrong, Watson
M Washburn, w. T. Ti1den, I'd, Craig
Biddle and Sciichiro Kashio, of To-
kic, the latest player from Japan to
try his fortunes on American courts
Mr.. Adee, who will be a member OF
the next Plattsburg training camp,
publicly announced that the draw
would be partly ''seeded"-that is
that the 16 leading players entered
would be SO placed in the draw that
there would be no chance of their
coming together in the first round, and
thus producing an anti-climax. The
other players were drawn by lot, sc
that the top-notchers, particularly
those who have been prevented from
getting tournament practice because
of their work in the training camps
will have an opportunity gradually to
work up their game before facing
their hardest matches.
In the top half OF the draw are
Murray, Pell, Tilden, Mathey, Alex.
Waters, Behr and tKashio. In the
lower section are Williams, voshell
Griffin, Armstrong. Throckmorton
Washburn and Whitman.
A glance over this list shows that
the strength of the field is fairly
evenly distributed, although the low.
er half is perhaps a trifle stronger
considering that Williams, the cham
pion, is there.
The men who have been training
for officers commissions in the army
for the last three months will enter
the great tournament as unknown
