Evers’ value is not so much a con- iribution of base hits and great stops —where he is also an athlete of worth, Rather it is from his excessive vitality, magnetism, energy and unceasing alertness and courage which are never checked by defeat. He is a grand ball player—and something more. He is _a vital spark that Fate has been un- Lable to quench—the soul of a machine ‘that only knows how to Xeep on fight- ing. Matty and Evers.

Gmnt/and Rice ‘with two victorious stares. “My arm,” said Matty, “feels every I haven’t had the slightest soreness, and now that neuritis in my left shoulder has passed out, I can't remember when I felt more like pitching.” The return of Matty means as much to the Giants &s the return of Evers means to the Braves, ' Matty has been the main Giant factor for fourten years, and when he is pitching winning ball the entire club seems to show mprovement -—an improvement probabry brought on by renewed confildence, which hap- pens to be a big part of any success. Certainly Mathewson never looked better in his life. He still' looks as young as he looked ten years ago. His judgment is still the rarest in kaseball.

The Case of Plank. Take the case of Plank. Plank is now forty years old—nfive years older than Matty. Yet only a day or two ago Plank, at forty, worked against Bender, at thirty-four and Plank won by the count of 2 to 0. If Plank is still pitching fine ball at forty Matty, who is as exceptional as Plank and who is much the same type, should have at least four or five more vears of first class pitching left.

Yet those who figured in this vein apparently forgot that no man rises to the heights Trevers held without having had both skill and courage. And no man who has skill and courage can ever be figured out of the running as long as he is able to take the field in shape to play.

New York, July 1.—At a meeting of the club. owners of the Interna- tionel League held at the Hotel Bel- mont yesterday afternoon it was de. cided to transfer the Newark fran- chise .to Harrisburg, Pa., for the bal- ance of the season. see its first game of Class A A bae- ball tamorrow afternoon between the Indians and Skeeters. President Ed Barrow was not in favor of giving up the Newark field, which was most profitable before the invasion of Harrison, N. J., by the Federal League. Those in control of the Indians at the present time, how- ever, thought a change advisable be- cause of the slim attendance in New- ark. Harrishurg, desirous of the franchise, had the necessary equip- ment for immediate transfer as it was one: of the real strongholds of the' old Tri-State League. The majority of the International club presidents favored a change, au least tempotarily. Harrisburg haz not a permanent franchise. Newark's remaining. home games will be play. ed there. If, hawever, conditions improve in Newark before the begin- ning of the 1916 season the club own- ers may move back to the big Jer- sey town. NOT LIKE NEW BRITAIN.
