RUBE'S CAREER IS
' STRANGE ROMANCE
from a "Beauty" to a "Lemon"
and Then Back Again is
. History of Southpaw.
IS AN m-AND-OUTEE NOW
By FRANK O. MENKE.
New York,. July 8.-Th pitching
performance of Rub Marqutrd
v form on of the Mranreit chapter
in th hiitory of bate ball. At long
at the game latti Marquard will be
remembered became of hie eccentric
work during the yeart that be wat a
big leaguer.
. The -port-wheeler hae riien to
greater ' height than moat pitcher
and dropped to depth lower. Upon
oceeiione he hat been the Idol of fan-
: dom; at othera he hal been the most
abuted hurler the frolic hai ever
known. Hit pitching haa been the
mott inconsistent, of any man that
ever flipped a fin on the greensward.
Marquard wat a tensation with the
Indianapolis team in the American
association circuit in 1908, Jumping
into' national prominence in the Jail,
when the Giants secured him for the
' then hug sum of -$11,000. '
Much was expected of. Rube at a
, Giantbut for nearly three yean he
;: wae ' useless. '"He had grea--speed
and wonderful curves, but he didn f
have control,' nor-' did' he have the
"noodle." ' Gotham fans despaired
of his ever blossoming forth as a ma
jor' league flower.', H became the
$11,000 lemon. His name was. ecoffed
at whenever mentioned; h had be
come the target for jeers.
" ' . ' ; Herolsed In 191!.' "
And then in 1911 he eartifj from un
der cover . of ..Wilbert Robinson's
wing, and flashed his biggest year.
He won twenty-four out of thirty-one
games, foran averagcof" .774,'prae-'
tically pitched the Giant into a pen
nant, and was worshiped Ty -tin
fans of New Ybrfc'i In 1912 ,Marv
quard started oft t.y whirlwind
clip .and, to the. amazement of base
- ball,' won nineteen straight games,
tying the modern record lor consee-
1 utive wine. : His praise were' sung
from one , end of the; land to the
'. other; he waa called a world-beater,
the most remarkable, pitcher gf his
age. "Hit face peered out from every
sporting page m the land; his name
: cluttered' up the column.. He wat
bate ball' lionized performer. .
. And from' these dizzy heights Mar-
quard has fallen and the descent'
was fart and aheen Jimmy lavender
of the Cub beat him when he tried
to win hit twentieth straight game,
ani that defeat seemed to take the
heart out of IVubexHa immediately
began to skid and the skidding, wat
an awful sight to see. His pitching
from that time on 'until the end of
v.the aeaton wm weird,. Aided by
. start of nineteen . straighf,...ylctoriet,
he. we able to finish the season with
a showing of only twenty-six game
; won and eleven lost, fbr an average
of 703. After Lavender. ended, his
" sfripg Marquard won only seven out
1 of ' eighteen C gamerSnd , taany : , of
' 'these seven WlctbrtetV were of the
nukelyvarle.tj)l;l,,,!!'r '.''
Failed VO-nttf to 114,, V.
" In 1913 the "Rub continuedto
pitch a la tar. He won twaty
three out of thirty-three battles, for
an average of .696. He finished
strong and it looked' like 'great
" year for him in 1914.. It wa figured
that the greater experience he had
" had, with -the backing . of a powerful
' team,' Would enable ' him to aip
through to! a new wlnninf marRltn
taA : . " . .J.. - !-
George Gano Holds Tw o Records
But thi' eccentric Rube pitched ffie
most putrid game of hi career in
ion it hi fillure and his
alone that lot the 19J4 pennant for
the Gianta. Had KuDe aeinrereq
even hatf of hit game to the winning
id of the ledeer the Gianta without
a doubt would have beaten ' the.
Rr.n in the October wirei But the
: ' left-hander." upon whom ', McGraw
and the other Giant playera had
K laced to ' much dependence, wat
atted from the box so often that it
would' require an adding machine to
. .locate, the total. . . ,
Mirnuird' 1914 . record show
twelve victoriet tnd' twenty-tW6 de
feats average., 352.. 'With .one ex
ception this was the worst showing
of his diamond career. Coming at a
time wheA it beat the Giant out of a
pennant, it lowered Rube so much in
the estimation of the Gotham fans
, that he was roundly cussed from one
end. of the island to the other. Every
newsoaoer panned .v him. without
mrrrv .... ,
In 1915 Rube announced that he
was coming backv He alibied hi
1914 showing by claiming that hi
arm had been ailinc. But Rube aa a
.- 1915 Giant heaver looked no better
' than in '1914.; Hi peea seemea
gone, hi curve no longer baffled.
Ever and anon he was der ricked.
Finally McGraw lost confidence in'
him and turned, the $11,000 "lemon"
i over to the Dodger for something
like $1,500.' McGraw still thinks that
in so doing be sort of cheated the
owners ot tne orooaiyn ciud.
"In-and-Outer" as Dodger
Wilbert Robinson, 'while coach for
the Giants, had developed Kube. He
.' didn't lose faith in Marquard. He
figured that Rube would do a come
back in a Dodger uniform and under
- the careful nursing of his old tutor.
. But Marquard finished the season at
a Dodger, as he had begun it with
the Gianta. His work was unsatisiac
tory. Some daya he- would be ham
mered out of the box without cere
mony. Rube's 1915 record showed 11
- victories against 10 defeata,
And now we are in 1916 and Rube
still is moving along in his weird
" fashion. Early in the season some
of the club hammered him out of
' the box, only to find themselves. help
' less before his pitching in his next
M f T ru 'jfa few,11 I'
I
QKUSG& GANQ
Very - few race' horse have ever
held two' record, in . two distinctly
different classes of 'racing. George
Gano, owned by M. W. Savage, holds
the record, ... together with Minor
Heir, for the world's champion team
pacing stallions; They made the mile
in 2:02. George Gano also holds the
record for the mile pacing under the
saddle. His mark in this class is
2:104. ' ;v
atari. The Giant took particular de
light in driving their old mate teethe
cooler under a bombardment of hits.
The next time they' faced -.him they
figured Rube would be a "cinch for
them, whereupon Rube turned right
around and beat them in a lZ-inning
pitcher battle, during' which he al
lowed only a few' scattered .safeties.
Rube showing to date, with a
championship club' behind' him, ha
not been impressive. Whenever Rube
enters the box these days, no one
even attempts to hazard a suess as
.to what will happen to him.- He may
Eir.cn anui-oui oau, or ne may oe
ammered out of the box. He may
hold the enemy hitless for seven or
eight rounds only to yield a. half,
dozen s-al in the ensuing (tanza.
Or he may. permit the enemy to ac
cumulate, a five-run lead in the first
inning and then holdlhem hitless the
rest of the way.- '., .
No one ever know just what Rube
lirtloi leant of all himself. He's the
mystery of baseball; ihe twirler who
never run true to form because he
is formless: the Ditcher, who has had
more 'tips and downs than any other
in. tne game; tne mounasman . who
never will be forgotten, .because, of
his pitching eccentricities. '
Many College Lads
'Break Into. Ranks
" Of Professional Ball
. Hew York, July 8. An unusual
number .of college base ball players
hav entered the big league this sum
mer. How many will-be prominent
by the . time, the big league season
ends? "' If the .usual average' obtains,
the successful ones will be in a minor
ity. ' Yet, again, some of the neophytes'
have displayed, ability on the univer
sity diamond, which, bespeaks at
least a certain amount of success.
George Smith of Columbia, for example.-
After he haa been sweetened
down there would appear to be strong
likelihood, t his .being a valuable
member of the Giant pitching squad.
And Pie Way has also gone to Mc
Graw's team. Way is a husky youth,
who haa; speed, control, and curves.
He may develop into a big league
star. Watt, the Columbia captain,
ha signed with Detroit, and Andy
Coakley says he has no doubt that
thi -player will make good in big
company. Watt, he says, is one of
the closest students of base ball he
haa ever met. He is always consid
ering how (o improve his. game, and
will develop awittly, Coakley thinks.
,It it reported from New Haven that
Mahan will sign-with the Americana,
But Ernest Soucy said in New Lon
don the other day that Mahan was
pot going to play professional base
ball. -
"He turned down an offer from the
Boston Braves to my personal knowl
edge," said Soucy, 'and I don't think
he will play ball unless he receives
an offer of a salary much larger than
he nas yet received.

WHEN GOTCH AND
STECHER COLLIDE.
Oh, tomewhere in thit favored land,
' The tun may thine quite bright,
The band may play in aometown.
And there hearts may be light,
And somewhere men may laugh and
shout.
And somewhere children cheer,
But It will not be in Omaha, .
Yea, bo, it won't be here. -.
THE SWAN SONG OF THE
WRESTLER TO THE PUBLIC.
You're a prince, old boy, you're a
regular guy,
' Well give you a laurel crown.
We like you, lad, we are fond of you,
We can kick you when you are
down.
Mr. Lewis will now go to New
York and clean up. The only differ
ence between Omaha and New York
is that in Omaha you can do it once,
while in New York you can do k
every night. ...
And" Mr. Cotniskey probably is sit
ting in Chicago, with! a grin on his
map having a good time all by him
self by saying, "but they didn't do
it in Comiskcy park."
, , , SPEAKING OF PESTS ,
The bate bad fmj's o naiiance,
The golf bug it a pett,
.The horte race bug't annoying,
They nem give u reet.. . i ,
The wrettling fan it like a plague,
The boxing bug1! a mark, ,
. But of all ihe bugt that we fittest,
tl ts the poker thark.
Barney Dreyfuss used 12,400 wdrds
in answering the National , commis
sion's report on the Sisler case. Why
be so tight, Barney, why not make it
16,400 and show thit Shakespeare
bird up.
-Alexander couldn't possibly be of
more value to the Phillies, taya a
critic. Oh, yes, he could, tuppoung
he was twins?
The only kind of a poker player
we like to listen to is one who i
deaf and dumb.
However, 12,400 words wouldn't be
gin to cover what each of 9,000 fan
said about the Stecher-Lewis.eaae.
Joe Tinker says Ly William is a
better ball player than Ty Cobb or
Tns Speaker. Fretty soon Joe win oe
telling us Battling Nelson is a better
man than Jess Willard.
Wagner's hitting like a demon,
Schulte'i in hit old time form,
Hal Chase is cutting circles.
Is taking Cincy town by storm,
Old Nap Lajoie is running wiia,
. And, Matty hurling great,
While' Coombs and old Chief Bender
Have 'em swinging like a gate.
It's a arand world, ain't it Mabel?
Hey, .there, gangway, clear the
v- track,
Flash the new to Cain and Abel,
Maybe they, too, can come back.
Tom Sharkey in. an application for
bankruptcy listed his debts at $300,
000 and his assets at $20.50. Showing
that Thomas is still batting 1.000 in
the financial world. .
Electric and Gas.
Bills to the right and left of us,
Qf every, color and shade.
They swoop down upon us the first
of the month,
The charge of the light brigade.
