Mexico, is not member of the league,
could join the labor bureau without
first becoming a member of the league.
Labor leaders, who have been eager
to get Mexico into the Geneva labor
organization, have been advocating
the issuance of a formal invitation to
her to join, but some feeling is said

STAR PITCHER
OWN WAY
Some Detroit Fans Dare
Class WhitehiII With
Eddie Plank

Earl Whitehill, of the Detroit
Tigers, is one of the best south
paws in the American League. He
is so good that he has the distinc-
ton of being about the only pitcher
on the staff whom Ty Cobb allows
to go his own sweet way.
The enthusiastic fans in the All
tomobi1e City are beginning to call
Whitehill another Eddie Plank.
That is drawing things bit fine.
Plank was probably the most valu-
able left handler Of oil time. He
was crafty, courageous and en-
dowed with wonderful skill. HIS
record shows that he won consid-
erabIy more than 800 games.
It is all very well to praise q
great young pitcher, but comparing
him with a master like Eddie Plank
is something else again.
