I I B 1 . EDDIE PLANK IS HERO OF SEASON, SAYS GRANT RICE Veteran Has Performed Brilliantly of Late and Deserves Ranking t JIOST RELIABLE SOUTHPAW By GRANTLAND RICE The F" cluB in hectla session, had gathered for tho purpose of debating tha most distinctive feat of tho. baseball year, fcy Individual or team. Ono voto went to the dlantB for winning 17 straight on the road from a start In at place. Another vote went to Trls Speaker for leading Ty Cobb over 40 points for tho first four months of the race. Still another enrncat fanatic cast his voto or 0 rover Cleveland Alexander, who un doubtedly has worked ono of the greatest lessons In the broad realm of play. A fourth voto was cast for Fielder Jones and the Browns, who started from tho Boggy depths of seventh placo for a spin of 21 out of 23 games. The Leader These Incidents and episodes, Individuals and clubs, nil wero entitled to tho burning eloquence poured out In their behalf. We believe, to6, a voto Bhoutd bo awarded to Colonel Wllbcrt Robinson, tho King of Brooklyn. nut If wo had to cast one oxcluslvo voto for tho most distinctive feature of tho year It would ffo to n, certain middle-aged jicdato cltlien by tho namo of ICdward S. IMank, otherwise Known ns me uciiysoum uuitie. Plak the Hero rlanlc In ninny ways Is tho hero of tho year. Tho Rrcat southpaw hasn't been as brilliant or ns useful no Trls Speaker or Grovcr Alexander. Hut thoro Is at least this ono feat of his to bo considered at tho ago of 42 considered fairly well all In two or thrco years ago at tho staRo of a pennant raco wbcro ho was needed most ho pitches In i uccesslon four ball camos that havo n, vital bearing on tho pennant race. Hero they ar In older: New York Four hits. Boston Two lilts Washington Ono lilt. Cleveland Two hits. ' This would bo n remarkable streak If tpun out by Alexander or Johnson or any star In his prime. Remarkable Streak But for a veteran 40 years old, at least eight years bexotid tho average pitching life. It Is one of tho most remarkable enlevements In tho history of sport. In four games of vital Importance IMank, at 42, allows just nlno lilts, an avorago of 2.2G hits to tha contest. It Is no light feat to pitch ono two-hit pime. Working two In succession Is a raro achlovemcnt which few pitchers know in the courso of n season. To avcrngo 2.25 hits a game for four ,, games In a row Is bryond nil diagnosis. It Is one of thoso tilings that can't bo dono until suddenly It happens. Concerning Plank Plank Is one of tho marvels of nil time. Consider these details: 1, Ha was 25 yrnrs old before h en tered the ni'ijor league, 2, lie hud no minor Icnaue trnlntng or development of any nort. 3, lie linked the great physical power of Walsh, MntlioMsou, Johnson, Alexander or lining. I. He will not blcsxcd with nn enny pitching motion, hut apparently was worh lnc hard in out or the way, working with effort quite unlike .lollllnoli or Alexander. 6. Where weather condition were at alt favorable he hue nnt pitched three really bad ball games In 10 jeam, 0. lie hut pitched exceptionally tine ball in every world sorles and ho was a lead In factor In live uf these. Not an Iron Man We were tnlklnga dny or two ago with Andy Coakloy about Plank. Andy w.-.s one of Plank's team mates on the Athletic ma. chine of other days. "In my opinion," said Andy, "ho Is the greatest 'left-hander that ever lived. Not ns brllllnnt ns ltubo Wad dell, but for nn fivcrago performance his work surpasses them all. I can't recall now a bad ball game thut Plank pitched." Another Detuil "Hero Is another detail," continued Coak ley. "nven when ho brutca In with tho old Macltmen Finnic frequently complained of fc soro arm. Ho had troublo horc and there lth, his elbow and his shpulder. He was not an Iron man In any bouso of tho word, and he did his share of worrying In the box. So he war not ono of these pitchers With Ice water In his veins ono of the type that never frets or bothers. Ho was a pitcher you would figure might last five or six years as a star. But hero he la today at 42 In his seventeenth campaign, pitching more brilliantly than he over worked In his life. I have kept close track of baseball for a Ions time, but I can't recall In all that time any such continued exhibition as these four games of Plank's against New York, Boston, Washington nnd Cleveland. Four games two runs, nine hits an average of 2. 2D hits and one-half a run to the contest. it doesn't sound possible." The Winning Vote It Is after figuring In all these details ' that we award to Edward B. Plank, the Gettysburg Qulde, the Feature Plnnaclo of tha sporting year. Walsh Is through; Miner Brown Is fading out ; Matty's pitching days Me over ; the great Johnson Is beginning to ret his here and there j but Plank, left handed, 42, 17 years In harness, not rugged of frame, Is rushing through one two-hit game after another In the strain of a flag race almost without an equal. As a master achievement Plank's latest exhibition Is a wonderful thing t contem plate. But when you link this with his career for 17 years there are hardly words expressive enough to tell the story. For it goes far beyond the record of games won and lost, as great a record as this has , been. It Is an achievement that rests well be yond tha eternal Anna. Pv YnlltlET lasted ; 2! seasons, but Cy was a husky giant, who wrieu around zz with an easy motion anu i just uaii to worn with. Ana uy. as great ,4 as he was. was not peeling off two-hit eames in sucesslon In his forty-secona year. Qlve all the credit you care about to your favorlta hem us each cornea along. , But before you aro through wrench off a png ot olive for the clammy Draw or me most effective left-hander, day In, day out, baseball ever has known.
