EDDIE PLANK, PRINCE OF S0UTHPAWS,
WINDS UP GREAT Career THIS YEAR

The prince of sOuthpaws Is
thru.
Edward 8. Plank, the
greatest of them all, has
pitched his last major league
game, II reports FROM several
of his friends are to be be-
neved.
Suffering from q nervous
breakdown and preparing for a
minor operation, there is little
chance that Plank will ever toe
the rubber again.
When Plank left the Browns a
few weeks ago, he was reported to
have gone 10 his home in Gettys-
burg, Pa. He really went to q
Philadelphia hospital.
Plank will be AZ in August. He
is one of the Oldest men in the
game In point of years and Of serv-
ice. This was his 18th season In
baseball and he holds the record
for all time for left handed pitch
ers In point of continuous service.
Plank's long stay in baseball is
all the more remarkable when his
physical and mental characteristics
are considered. He is bundle of
nerves and compared with other
veterans of the game is physically
almost weakling.
The only other men in baseball
who approach Plank In age are
Lajoie and Wagner, both men with
wonderful physiques and of phleg-
matte dispositions.
As a pitcher there are few who
approach the veteran In skill and
cunning.
During the last two or three
years as the old arm was grad
ually weakening under the
strain of constant pitching he
developed slow ball, which
he had never used In his ear
lier years. He studied bats
men and scarcely ever wasted
ball.
1t was his superstition that
pitcher only had SO many pitched
balls in his system and when he
had run out of these he could no
longer pitch effectively.
Plank has pitched very little this
year, the records showing he has
won two and lost one game. Sew
eral weeks ago he went to the club
house, packed his clothes and said
he was going home.
81 guess the club is about to lose
another player" he told friends on
the team.
Later, however, he joined the
Browns at Washington and al
though he was taken out in the
seventh inning was given credit
with a victory.
Manager Fielder Jones still
hopes that the veteran may be able
to finish the season with the
Browns but Plank doesn't believe
he can.

NIGHT FOR SOX
IF RUTH is DROPPED
Star Bostonese May Get Sack for His Run-in Sat
urday With Owens; He Has Won IL Games
Out of 16 Pitched.

Brick Owens came off Saturday.
Out of 16 games pitched, Ruth
has won IL. Eight of these Id
captured in row.
Aside from his pitching prow-
ess, Ruth is something Of q
helper along other lines.
His hitting amounts to an av-
erage of .40S, including all
games in which he has appeared.
When not pitching, he manages
to get little out of life by doing
some of Jack Barry's pinch slug
ging.
One pitcher always holds up
the championship club. History
records 1t. Ruth undoubtedly ID
the heavy man for the Red Sox.
What happens to the Red Sox and
Ruth rests with Ban johnson.
