5eyond doubt that the busher must
&c seriously considered.
Partly for these reasons and partly
or the admiration he had for baseball
ability and brains Branch Hickey, presi-
lent Of the 81. Louis Cardinals, will put

xhcn Jack Hendricks goes to the helm.
LUCE Bezdok cannot be considered a
bush Lacquer for he had never played

In picking Hendricks TO manage his
hub Hickey picked a manager, who,
perhaps more than any other, has been
mccessful in bringing his clubs home
n or near the top in the league IN
which he happened 10 be playins. Bill
Clyrner Is the only other bush manager
who comes close to his record.
Hendricks has served for f. years as
manager Of minor league clubs. In
that time no has finished first i've
times, second three times, third three
times and fourth once. lie has never
been out Of the first division.
Il was i'm the Western League that
Hendricks FIRST attracted attention. After
finishing second there In 1910 he won
three pennanis Ia succession. This at
tracted the attention Of Jimmie Gill.
who owned both the Denver and
indianapolis clubs and Hendricks was
transferred 10 indianapolis In 1914.

was riddled by the Federal League war
and with an opposition Federal League
club IN the city Gin finished third in
1914 and 1913 and second In 1915 after
the closest race in American Association
history. Last ye1r he brcezcd home
with pcnnant for indianapolis.
Hendricks has exceptional ability as

HARLAN's vs.. PENNsY.

4 battle royal Is expected on Thurs
day night when the Harlan basketball
team will line up against the Penpsyl-.
Vanla crackcriacEs. The contest has
been scheduled for Brownson Hall and
as the rallroaders have announced that
IL Is for the championship Of the
state. some game is anticipated.
Tho Harlan players arc telling their
friends that their opponents have addeo
couple Of players to the Pennsy team
who. while not living IN Wilmington
yet, are employed by the railroad.
These men are said 10 be among the
best that the Quaker City affords in
amateur ranks.
But this fact Is not worrying the
Harlan bunch. They have been prepar-
ing for this game for some time, and
expect 10 be there with the goods
when the referees whistle sounds.
The rivalry between these two teams
Is very keen and the work Of the referee
will doubtless be an unenviable one, IN
order to prevent unnecessary rough
ness.

The most surprising thing about the
recent trade between the Yankees and
the Browns which involved four play

fact that Eddie Plank was included.

dell Joe Wood. I'd Walsh, Donovan.
Mullen and the other greats.
And his ability rests IN the fact that
he knows how 90 use his head. lie
studies batters and knows what to pitch
10 them. No pitcher is more tricky Of
cunning.
But Plank's great asset is his accurate
ANALYSIS Of batting. No batter In the
league. not even the great Tyrus Cobb
himself knows moro OF the theory Of
batting than does Plank, and, being abb,
to analyze batting, he IS able to pitch
scientifically.
Plank has lost his speed. His curve j.
no. what u once was. But he developed
a slow ball and has retained bis wonder
ful control. With these assets and his
uncanuy knowledge Of batting and his
accurate sense Of what batter can or
cannot hit, it is not surprising that ho
should come back FOR his nineteenth
season.
Perhaps planks most remarkable
