Suzanne Better
Will Enter Play
For Beaumont Cup

Monte Carlo, Feb. 24.-(AP)-The
case of NERVES" that Suzanne Len
glen took up into the mountains with
her evidently has been dissipated by
the rarified atmosphere. After only
a days rest the French girl admits
that she has been greatly benefited,
and says that instead of putting off
her play In the Beaumont cup. the
women's double event in the Monte
Carlo meet till Saturday, she will be
ready to compete on Friday.
This has given renewed hope to
the authorities of the Nice Club that
Suzanne may yet agree to meet Helen
Wills in a return match at the clubs
tournament beginning March z. The
club, the secretary of which is Papa
Lenglen, is needful of funds to
counterfeit the expenditures recently
of 100000 francs or the erection Of
a ne wcluh house. Another contest
between Miss Wills and Mile. Leng-
len it is realized, would bring an
other big gate" One official of the
club said last night. in this connec-
ton:
Our Suzanne will not let us down.
but will give us the opportunity of
attracting great crowds by another
meeting with the girl from Califor-
MIA"
Meanwhile Miss Wills continues to
carve her way through the ranks of
the women in the singles competition
with her eyes fixed upon the Duke of
Connaught's gold cup, which she al
ready has declared, Il do want to
win"

kENTS HILL OUT
TO AvENGE Loss
AT HANDS HEBRON

Especial to the Kennebec Journal)
Kent's Hill. Feb. 24.-The Kent,s
Hill basketeers are putting in their
hnal preparation for the Hebron
game in Augusta, Friday night, and
are doing so with a very keen real
ization that the top place in the
prep school series is still open to
anybody. Hebron has stopped the
boys from. the Hill once and the
latter want to demonstrate that they
were then in a slump, both physi-
cal and mental, and their record of
lO wins in II games seems to bear
this out.
They are working under a handi-
cap, however. for Tapley and Cas-
per are each nursing slight cuts
which make hard scrimmaging risky
and Horne, the big guard who has
been working so we'll lately, has not
felt like doing his full duty at the
training table. All expect, however,
to be very much on the job by Fri
day night.
The players who will start the
game are Tapley and Barry, for
wards: Finn, center: Casper for one
back and either Bernadini or Horne
for the other. Ward is likely to get
into the game and Eisold, who has
come along well on the second team,
may be used.

| WATERvILLE AND
C0NY IN CLASH
AT ELM CITY RINK

Tho hockey teams of Canton and
Cony may meet for the State
championship on the ice this season
but recent developments haven't
helped matters any. An attempt
was made originally to obtain the
Lewiston Arena for Thursday night
but the management in that city was
unable to let the schools have the
rink on that date but suggested next
Monday night as agreeable to them.
They were willing to allow the two
schools to play in the Lewiston
Arena on that date and all they
wanted was fifty per cent Of the gate
for the use of the playing surface.
The Cony team, however. was un-
able to see it's way clear to travel
to the Spindle City and offered a
proposition to the Canton manage
ment in which the game was to be
played on the Cony rink Saturday
night. The local management offered
to pay one half the expenses of Cam
toms trip to this city and divide the
gate. receipts equally.
Coach Waltz of the Canton outfit
however said that too much was at
stake and refused to play on the
Cony rink with the contention that
the game should be played on neu-
trail rink or not at all.
The Cony team meets Waterville at
Waterville tonight and despite the
fact that Hunnewell and Hayden are
ineligible and Benton is off form with
an liberated tooth the game should
be close and fast.

EDDIE PLANK, GREAT
PITCHER IN HIS DAY
Dies AT GETTYSBURG

Gettysburg, Pa, Feb. 24-(AP)-
Eddie Plank, one of basebalps great
est left handed pitchers, died today,
only four months behind his greatest
right rival in worlds series battles,
Christy Mathewson.
Stricken Monday morning with
paralysis that left his once powerful
pitching arm and, his whole left side
helpless, the port side star Of Connie
Mack's famous Philadelphia Athletics
never spoke after the first two hours.
Except for very brief intervals he
was unconscious all the time and
passed away as the sinking sun was
casting its long shadows on Gettys-
burg's historic battlefield. He was 81.
Eddie Plank will be buried in this
quiet town Of Gettysburg on the same
day Of the week-Saturday afternoon
las Christy Mathewson was laid to
rest in the quiet town of Lewisburg.
Pa. not far away.
Plank's widow, Eddie. Jr., ten years
old, and Ira and Luther, two of the
three brothers Of the once great pit
cher, were at the bedside when the
end came, but his parentsy unable to
make the trip to town because'of III
ness, remained on their farm where
the sad news was gently conveyed to
them.
The brief illness and death of Get
tysburgs famous bali player came as
a shock to the town folk among whom
Plank was held in high regard not
only as once star player but as a
neighbOr and citizen.
Quitting baseball in 1917, while
playing with the st. Louis Ameri-
cans after losing 10 game to Wal
ter Johnson, Plank opened a garage
business in Gettysburg but retired
three years ago having accumulated
sufficient wealth in the business and
in baseball to take life easy. He de-
voted much time to his father and
mother.
Sunday night he retired without q
sign of feeling ill and was stricken
when he arose Monday. 1t was
losing battle from the start, for his
physicians informed the family yes
terday that his recovery was very un-
likely. In conscious moments tears
triekled down his cheeks as he APP
parently realized his helpless condi-
ton.
The body will lie in state in the
Presbyterian Church here Saturday
from l to P. M. Service will be con-
Quoted by the Rev. w. c. Robinson,

will be private in Evergreen Gene
terry. Tonight messages were sent to
various American and National Lea
que officials and to ball players who
were Eddie's friends in his major
league days. Among communications
received since Plank fell i'll was one
from Eddie Collins, manager of the
Chicago White Sox, who was one OF
his "buddieS" when both were with
the Philadelphia Athletics.
Connie Mack regarded Eddie Plank
as the greatest winning left handed
pitcher baseball has ever known.
Speaking of his star aggregation OF
pitchers in the Athletics champion
ship days, Mack said that Bender
was the money" pitcher. Coombs the
brilliant strikeout hurler, and Plank
the old reliable in almost every game.
He was not as spectacular as Wad-
dell, but was a pitcher who combin-
ed a rare knowledge of his oppon-
ent's weakness and had marvellous
control, he said.
