the annual convention of the Mystic
Workers of the World. The organiZa-
ton provided for an insurance fund
for all soldiers, sailors and marines
and Red Cross workers. Since the
war began the loss has been light and
it was decided to support those in the
big fight for liberty. Each member
pays 20 cents month, and this is kept
in separate fund for the above pur-
pose. There are over 10000 Mystic
Workers of the World, so the 20 cents
a month will amount to a large sum,
ample to protect all losses. Mr.. Pei
ton says the cities of Davenport, Mo
line and Rock Island are exceedingly
busy places on account of the war. In
Rock Island there are Fl, 900 munition
workers, and the problem of housing
is a big one. During the time Mr. Pei

ton, and family at Evanston. Professor

LOSE BIG STAR:
EBNER is OUT

With the Lebanon contest of last
night out of the way, the Tech bas-
Setball squad began its drive for the
Allentown contest that will be staged
at Cathedral Hall tomorrow evening
beginning at s o'clock. Every mem
ber of the team realizes that the loss
of Elmer, who is threatened with
diphtheria, is a difficult one to fll.
Eoner was acting captain of the team
and was the best shot on the squad.
Last Saturday afternoon he bagged
nine field goals for the Maroon, and
he was the best offensive player on
the squad.
Several combinations are possible
from the material on hand without
Elmer. Huston has had experience at
either forward, center or guard. He
Is clever lad handling the sphere,
and will be valuable to use in an
emergency such as now exists. "Vid"
Blhl, Junior, and a member of the
Hassett quintet, can also be used to
advantage. While he is now playing
a guard position. he was originally
foul shooter.
Techs Chances Iessened
No one denies the facE that Techs
chances have been lessened by the
loss of Elmer Yet plenty of good
material remains from which Coach
Miller will mold q smooth running

honors harder than ever. The inter-

Eddie Plank Nails Story
About His Coming Back;
Is Through With Baseball

Gettysburg, Pa, Jan. 24.-Miller
Higgins has not yet been able to in
duce Eddie Plank, the veteran south
paw, to return to baseball and join
the Yankees. Plank was obtained by
Higgins in his trade with the St.
Louis Browns, which also brought
Pratt to New York. The latter has
not yet signed with the Yanks, SO
that all Huggins has for his part of
the deal is permission from the
Browns to sign the two players.
When he heard of the trade Plank
who is spending the winter at his
homo i'm Gettysburg, Pa, said:
Il will not go to New York next
season. ] am through with baseball
forever. That goes. l am not trying
to hold anybody up, and l hope that
between New York and st. Louis, but
if it does / cannot help it.
When l announced last summer
that / was through with baseball at
the end of 1917 l meant just that"
said Eddie. Talk about doing your
bit in the army, I guess l have done
my bit in baseball and am entitled to
rest. l am not all in by any means.
My left wing is as good as ever, but
have enough. l have my farm, my
home and enough to take care of me,
so why should l work and worry
any longer? If the deal is dependent
on my signature for its completion,
then I am sorry to say that it will
be all off"
