ITO give back Lincoln TO Amertca who

the little. intimate things Of Lincoln's life.
In Springfield my mother was born in

coin. and he was the first man to lift her
in his arms after her father. The character
of Lincoln had always inspired me. and I
knew that some day my work would begin
on him.
Preparation for the work led me through
two years of research, delying deeper and
deeper into the psychic reeesses OF the soul
and mind that lived in Lincoln. Yet when
ready TO begin work on my cast ! realized the
necessity of a model. spent an entire year

In my extensive search for a model
sixty different "Lincolns" came to me from
various parts of the country. And each

patriot as he did. OF course, nearly all OF
these had characteristics of face and body
that aspired to initiate those of Lincolns

clash with the Y NJ. A. quint of
Norfolk at the City Auditorium on the

The association quint has been ne
gotiating with the Norfolk team for
several days and arrangements were
perfected yesterday for the deciding
contest between the two claimants TO
the state title.
The Y. NJ A basketers have not
been defeated this season and the rec

gregation Is without doubt the cham

Norfolk quint recently downed an ag-
gregation made up for the most part

various teams in this state, frankly
admit that the local five will have 10
show flashes OF old time form to re-
tain the championship laurels which
were annexed last season in fast
game with the Norfolk Blues.
The local team broke training sew
erel days ago, being under the inn
preston that the Wake Forest game
concluded the season. The players
last night, however. went into the
gymnasium for a hard workout and
will practice faithfully until the time
for the deciding game.

M'INNIS GREATEST FIRST
RASEMAN GAME HAS KNOWN

& considered the leader. After he has
gone through a season or two and
played in the neighborhood OF 500
games 1t can be said that Holke be-
longs but not until then. Next on
the list is McInnis, and he virtually
can be considered the leader. "St Iffy"
has taken part in S92 games during
his major league career ana has COM
piled the splendid batting average Of
81 5. His nearest competitor is Dau-
bert of Brooklyn. who has played
$50 games and piled up a batting
average of $50, while Hoblitzei, In
l,l72 games, has batted 1852. Fred
Luderus is considerably further down
the List with an average of .277 in
S93 games. There are the figures.
and II they don't prove the class of
'Stuffy' Mc1nnis there is no virtue in
averages.
But It is not only as a fielder and
batter that Mcfnnis is a valuable play
er. The Athletics first sacker liz one
Of the easiest men to manage in the
game. He Is a victim of only one
habit and IS helpless to throw it Off

appetite for literature is Unsuitable
and the way he rips through the
world OF letters Is beautiful to wit
ness He is modest and wears the
same size lid he did when he Joined
the Athletics a raw recruit Here is
an instance of McInnis' sense of de-
cency, and clean dealings:
During tho painful slump which
McInnis suffered last season ne went
TO Connie Mack and explained that
he ala not think he was eHrnfIfy his
salary and virtually asked for a cut
Connie laughed and told hie first base
man that he WASH getting all he was
worth and what was more. no man
ascr IN the game could afford to pay
him all he was worth How McInnis
regained his stride, after havirg his
broken nose treated by specialist is
now history. During the last few
months OF the 1915 season he raised a
batting average which was not much
larger ths~ the size Of his hat TO .29E.

The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1917-03-04

During the winter OF 1914 baseball
writer's began singing the swan song
Of Eddie Plank. for years premier
southpaw of the American league
and one of the greatest left handlers
of all time.
Connie Mack had included Plank
in his wholesale cleanup and it was
generally supposed that if Connie
thought Plank was through there was
no argument against it.
But Plank fooled 'em and is still
fooling EN-,
Plank will be In the harness this
year and it is not al all unlikely that
ing up southpaw slants in 1918 and
1919.
That Is predicting far ahead. There
are many things which might happen
In two or three years, but without ac-
eident Eddie Plank, now forty-two
years old. should be a factor In win
ming baseball games in the majors for
that time
There are three secrets OF Plank's
success as a pitcher and Of his ability
to stay In the game longer than any
other fork handler
The first is his brain which has
caused him to conserve his arm to a
remarkable extent.
Conscrvcs His Balls.
II records were kept on the num-
her OF balls pitched It would prob
ably he found that Plank has pitched
less balls to a season than any other
hurler.
The second is his iron will. which
