Eddie Plank,
Veteran Pitcher,
Still in Game
NEW YORK, Sept. 2—Eddie Plank,
hero of many a world’s series battle,
is 41 years old today.
The southpaw master, several times
relegated to the scrap heap by fans
and sporting writers and once by Con
nie Mack, still is in the game, and
the present season promises to be one
of the best in his long career.
Early this month Plank allowed on
ly seven hits in three games, winning
every one of them. And it was his
former team mates, the Athletics, who
broke his winning streak Aug. 18, in a
tight pitching battle.
Plank left Gettysburg college to be
come a member of the Athletics in
1901. Hence this is his sixteenth
year as a big league hurler. He help
ed the Athletics to pennants in 1902,
1905, 1910, 1911, 1912 and 1914.
When Connie Mack began the dis
memberment of his famous team early
in 1914, among the first to go were
Jack Coombs and Eddie Plank, and
both of them went by the uncondition
al release route.
Coombs caught on with Brooklyn
and has done good work. Plank sign
ed with the Federal league and was
sent to St. Louis. He did noble work
for the Feds and this year Fielder
Jones kept him.
Plank declares he never has had a
sore arm, because he has made pitch
ing a study.
“When I quit the game,” he said, “it
will be because Pm tired of it. I think
in five more years I’ll be ready to stay
at home.”
That would make him 45 when he
quits.
“Pitching is a job,” he said. “It
must be studied by the pitcher. He
must study the other fellow, the bat
ter, and learn what he cannot hit. I
never have had any trouble with the
great batters, with the exception of
Cobb. You can’t fool Cobb. He will
hit most anything.”
Plank declares he never curves a
ball in spring training until at least a
week has passed, and attributes the
long service of his arm to that fact.
Joe Gedeon, who has been playing
second base for the Yankees and who
looked like a world-beater in the early
weeks, now looks like a flivver. His
departure from the American league
is expected soon.
Leo Fold has oodles of confidence in
his young pitchers. He declares lie
never saw two better looking young
sters than Gould and Lambeth.
Charley Mullen rapidly is becoming
the idol of fans following the fortunes
of the Yankees.
Lobby Roth, besides being a demon
slugger, isn’t exactly like the rest of
the ball players, according to state
ments made by several American
league athletes. One of them sized
it up like this: “He’s a great hitter
because he don’t fear no human.” And
to this trait the ball players attribute
his playful act in heaving a pop bot
tle into the stands recently in Cleve
land.
Connie Mack, serene in victory or
defeat, declares he will have some
thing of a ball club when the 1917
season opens. And, it is certain Mack
has picked up some valuable men in
Myers, Nabors, and Witt.
At least five members of the old
world’s champion Athletics have help
ed put clubs in the National and
Americal leagues in the race this
year.
New York American league fans
are asking why Manager Donovan
doesn’t give Charley Mullen a regular
berth. Mullen has been one of the
most dependable players on the club
this year. His pinch hitting has been
remarkable.
