The lat- ter has shown his worth during the past year, and experts are of the opin ion that he is the only man who has a chance with the title holder. During the past year Stecher has i defeated every man he has met. Gotch on the other hand, was idle for @ year until recently. During the past few weeks he has been preparing for ! a meeting with the young Nebraskan and is now in fairly good shape. It is expected that a purse of $50,000 will be offered for meeting between the two big fellowks. Upper illustra- tion shows Stecher executing body scissors hold on his wrestling partner.

(Correspondence of The Associated Press.) Paris, Feb. 24—Monsieur Meline, Minister of Agriculture, has just pro- mulgated a decree constituting Agri- cultural committiees in each of the rural communes, to take charge of the cultivation of unseeded land. The committees are to be elected by the farmers of the Commune, with the women having rating rights the same as men. They are not only charged | with the responsibility of assuring cultivation of every acre of tillable land in the Commune, but also with the advising and aiding farmers or farmers’ wives who may require help.

M'GOUGH, And i The Another Superstar. Matty isn’t the onlv big league pitcher packing his grip for his six- teenth trip to a training camp. For there is also the case of Bddie Plank, who has not only been in the hig league as long as Mathewson, but who is five years older. = And what even more impressive, Plank is still ready to step out and pitch winning ball. Plank and Left Handers, stands as an eternal knock tn the theory that all left hande are nuts. The great southpaw has Leen one of the steadiest and sanest of pitchers for fifteen years, ¥n all that time he has had but onc ason where his victories did’ wnot outnumber his defeats. That was in 1908. Then he won 14 games and lost 16. “The old boy is about through.” they said. ‘He’s no longer kid, you know. Thirty-three years old. Been pitching in the big leagues cight yvears. And then left- hander.’ But Plank has great seasons since, 1912 he won 14, for an average above Plank he's a put and away seven in 1911 and L7650, Plank and 1916, The wonder of it is that at one the veteran left hander looks about as good as he looked fifteen years ago, when he came from Gettys- burg College to Mack’s firing line, “I first batted against Plank.” said George Stoval, “about ten years ago. ile was as hard to hit in 1915 as he was in 1905. As far as I could make cut, he had just-as much stuff. He still had that hop, and his curve ball cracked off just as sharply as it did ten years ago. from 18 to 20 wins left in hi it he Isn’t overworked.” Plank, Mathewson and the pitching veterans of 1916. them they have been in 13 world's s—Plank in 5, Mathewson in 4 and Brown in 4. And the pitching they did was more than a trifle re- cponsible for most of these world series. forty system Brown are Among Plank and Mathewson. In their fifteen years' service Mathewsen and Plank have lost about the same number of games, but Mathewson has won about 60 more. The Giant star has been called upon | for a good deal more work, for Plank has rarely worked 40 games, while Matty has more often than not worked in from 40 to 50 contests. Mathewson's average for the 15 sea- sons is .680; Plank’s .640. Plank have seven they equal Cy 22 major lecague Paoli Phenom over 300 more Both Matty ana vears to go before Young’s record of campaigns.

Quite So. “Times in baseball have changed,” remarked a contemporary a day_or so ago. Quite so. On August 23, Philadelphia pitched bourne of Providence. Hagan was tapped for 26 hits, 28 runs and he also made 11 errors and 5 wild pitches. Yet he wasn't taken cut. 1883 Hagan against of Rad- Maybe. McFarland and Gibbons, two of the fastest men that ever fought, put up the worst fight anybody ever saw. This may be a strong statement, but that is the kind of a fight it was Maybe Willard and Moran, both much slower, may prove that speed isn’t necessary to bring the thrill.
