that military work at Johns Hopkins
has been cutting heavily into the plans
Of Track Coach Joseph England. the
Black and Blue track team stands on
the threshold of its indoor meets in
the same physical condition that it
was at this time last year, which is
saying a great deal when one con-
siders the obstacles that stand today
in the path of a coach. The cinder
men have only been able to get down
to the cage four times a week for
workouts as against six during the
years before the war but hard work
seems to have overcome this diff
Guilty.
The men are working now with their
eyes on the Hopkins games which will
he held some time in February. Due
to the fact that the Fifth Regiment
Armory Is now under the jurisdiction
of the Federal government the procur-
ing of a site to hold the games is not
as simple as il was in former years,
and Graduate Manager Corner has not
been able to announce just when the
big event will be pulled off at this
and the fact that many Of the South
ern colleges have already expressed
their intentions OF sending representa-
tives to the armory augu-s well for

ED PLANK WIZARD
WHEN HE RETIRES

New York. Jan. Batter appearing
in the pitchers position nearly 600
times during his career as a big
league twirler, Eddie Plank has quit
the game of his own free will, with
more cunning left in his great pitch
ing makeup than most southpaw
pitchers possess who are left in the
game today. To the very last Plank
retained his ability to puzzle the op-
position.
In one of his last games. which was
played against Washington, with
johnson opposing him, Plank pitched
one Of the best contests of his long
career, the decision going to the
Washington star by a score. of to 0
after a gruelling battle of ten ins
nings-
Plank leads all left-handers the
game ever had in the number of
games pitched in the major leagues,
and only three right-handers have a
record of pitching more games
Charles CKid) Nichols, "Cy" Young
and Christy Mathewson. With $40
games which counted in the win-or-
lose column. Plank has pitched eighty
games in which he figured as a re-
lief pitcher or also was relieved. Dur
ing his long career Plank figured in
only five games that ended in a tie,
and three Of these were against the
Detroit Tigers.
A grand total of 1891 batsmen have
faced the great southpaw in seventeen
seasons, and they managed to make
3,s74 base hits. which would give his
opponents a grand batting average
against him of .243. Just five times
during his career in the majors has
the delivery Of Plank been touched for
the double number in runs.

FEDS HAVE NOT
DROPPED SUIT
Report Gained Ground Be-
cause Majors Agreed to
Start Payment on
Peace Pact.

From the pen Of Danny" Of the
Baltimore News, comes the following
report that the Federal League has
not dropped the suit against organized
baseball
Whenever organized baseball makes
an endeavor to straighten OUT the
muddle resulting from the agreements
of the so-called peace pact, forthwith
comes an announcement that the Bal
timore club has withdrawn its now
famous 500, 900 suit. This week just
past saw an announcement of this sort
given in a most emphatic way. but as
far as can be learned there is no more
reason to believe II than any one of
its dozen Of predecessors. The Baltt-
more club has not withdrawn its suit
and does not intend to, according to
several of those who are most vitality
interested. Thus far, according to the
same source of information, there Is
no reason to believe that 1t will, be-
cause the D. B. forces have not come
forth with an offer that looks at all
attractive.
When the Baltimore club first en-
tered its suit in Philadelphia the
various agreements Of the peace pact
were Immediately suspended. Organ
lied baseball claimed from the start
that the agreement was not to be car
ried out on its part unless all the
former Federal League people were en-
tirely satisfied Payments to the
various clubs were never made, and
recently there have been clamorings
for settlement. 1t is understood that
an arrangement has been made fol
the o. B. forces to carry out their end
of the agreement and that Harry Sim
clair, the real money man of the
Feds, has signed a document to in
demnify organized baseball to the ex-
tent of its payments in the event that
the Baltimore club wins its suits in
the courts.
The Brooklyn Feds were promised
100000 in installments of $4,000
covering a period of 20 years. New
ark was to get something like $780,
900 and Pittsburgh $4,000. Chicago
and St Louis were satisfied by be-
ing permitted to buy their way in
to the majors. Baltimore was drCp-
ped like hot potato, only this city
refused to stay dropped. Although
organized baseball has not been
making the annual payments, the
money has been put aside and will
now be turned over, Sinclair, of
course, agreeing to see that o. B.
gets back all or part of what may
be paid out should the Baltimore
Feds storm the legal citadel SUE
cessfully.
Talking with several of the Balti-
more Feds brings one to the reali-
Zation that the former Indepen-
dents feel that they have a better
case now than ever. Various hap
penings from time to time have only
gone to strengthen their case from
a legal standpoint according to
their views and the fact that It may
require several years before il
comes up for trial does not worry
them in the slightest. That they
may even get interest on the dam
ages due to the delay is the opti-
mistic way in which they view the
situation.

National Commission Lifts Ban on
Post-season Journeys.

New York. Jan. l3.-The National
Commission has reversed itself on the
question OF transforming players.
The commission has decided that ball
players may take transforming trips
at the end Of the season il they have
the permission of their club owners.
The commission investigated a game
played in Kansas City last fall where
Alexander and johnson met in an ex-
hibition contest, backed by two teams
calling themselves the All Nationals
and All Americans. The commission
Investigation revealed the fact that
several club owners had given their
players permission to play in this
game.
The commission in its report says:
This change in the system was
made at the urgent solicitation Of the
club owners
Whether this also changes the policy
of the commission in regard to worlds
series players participating in exhibi-
ton games the commission bulletin
does not say.

SLUMP ROBBED
COBBOF MARK
Peach Had . Triples III
Midseason with 26 as
Mark to Aim at.

From the way Ty Cobb was man
ufacturing triples along in June
and July IL looked certain that he
would shatter to smitehereens the
three-base hit record of his own
league and camp on the trail of the
National League record for blows
OF the same character. Possessing
twenty-one tripels when the stat
isticians took OF their trial bal
ances on July 81. Cobb suddenly be-
gan to specialize in singles and
doubles and during the remainder
OF the campaign made only two
more three-masted shots, both of
these being of St Louis boxmen.
The American League record for
triples is Jointly held by Sam Craw-
ford and Joe Jackson. with twenty
six, and the National League record
by J. owen (Chief) Wilson. with
thirty-six.
When Wilson, whose name is still
carried on the reserve list of the
st. Louis Cardinals, went on his
tripling jamboree FIVE years ago,
fans rooted for him to break a
phantom record, for II had been ac-
cepted as a fact that Naponean La
IOAts VI IN lSVH Udo pOltC
43 three-baggers. Investigations
carried on showed that Larry had
made thirty of these hits through
a typographical error-that, in fact.
he had made only 13. The record
the Chief did smash was one hung
up by Jimmy Williams, formerly
Pirate. oriole. Yankee and Brown,
in 1899. Williams then made
frrra ,NN--g
Several of Cobbs % triples last
season were near home runs, for in
the front section OF the bargain bill
between the Tigers and the Yanks
in Detroit on July Il. the Peach,
tripling twice, was caught at the
plate each time.
That Cobb's triples and daring
helped his team greatly is shown
by the fact that in the 20 games
in which he made three-baggers
the Junglemen were defeated only
once and tied twice. On three oc-
casions he kicked in with two
triples in the same game-on June
IL, against Schauer. of the Ath-
letics: on June IL. against Shore
and Pennock. of the Red scS. and
on July 81. against Love, of the
1ankeeS.
OF Cobb's 90 triples, 1s were
made of right-handers, of left
handlers. The northpaws he reach
for three-baggers were Schauer. OF
Philadelphia, s; Seibold, of Phila-
delphia, 2; Sharkey. of New York,
?; Shore, of Boston; Faber. of Chi
cago; Wolfgang, of Chicago; Klep-
fer. Of Cleveland; Russell. of New
York; Rogers, of st. Louis; Daven-
port, Of St Louis; Groom, of St.
Louis. and Du Mont, of Washing
ton. The southpaws who were
Jared for triples were Love, OF
New York, .; Pennock, of Boston;
Leonard, Of Boston; Koob, of st.
Louis; Hamilton. of st. Louis, and
Harper. of Washington.
On only one of his near home
runs did a fielder get his hands,
and said fielder, Harry Hooper, OF
the Red Sox, nearly had his torn
apart. 1t is a matter of record that
on the old hilltop grounds Harry
Wolter. now with the Cubs. tried
to catch a home run of Cobb's bat
and got broken paw for his pains
Bill Donovan, formerly manager OF
the Yanks. pitched this game for
the Tigers and won il, to Q.
