EDDIE PLANK IS STILL SOME
SOUTHPAW PITCHER.
Eddie Plank, veteran southpaw, who
has been with the Philadelphia Athletics
for twelve years and Is having another
good year.
Plank Is making a record that promises
to be without parallel In base ball. He
has now been a pitcher on the Athletics
for a greater number of years than any
other twlrler ever served any one club.
Not even Cy Young, with his twenty-two
seasons of twirling, can duplicate this
mark, for his service was divided be
tween two Boston clubs, two Cleveland
teams and St Louis.
Plank never pitched for any profes
sional team, league or otherwise, except
the Athletics. He went to that city a
college student, fresh from Gettysburg.
He Is still there and during his ' long
years of honorable service has seldom
shown better form than now.
The answer to Plank's success is easy.
He is the most careful of livers. He re
gards base ball as a lucrative business
and conducts his existence In such a
way as to conserve his physical resources
to the limit. He owns big farm prop
erty In Gettysburg, Pa., and spends the
winters there. He is a bachelor.
