MARQUARD'S HEAD
MUCH TOO LARGE
Indianapolis Wonder Got the Idea
He Couldn't Be Hit
by BatterS.

INDIANAPOLIS. Aug. 1e.-While all
the baseball fans Of Indianapolis are
bordering over the recent inefectiveness
of Pitcher Rube Marquard, the tail
southuaw, whose early season stunts
startled the whole baseball world, Presi-
dent watkins. of the Indianapolis base
ball club. has his own ideas concerning
the cause.
He is of the opinion that RUDE has
not been in condition of late TO pitch
nine innings at his best speed In other
words. Rube IS not believed to have
given the club the work OF which ne IS
capable at his best.
Marduard's early success and sale 10
the New York Giants is thought TO have
turned his head. He is said TO have be-
come possessed of the fallacy that the
opposing batters had no license to con
meet with the balls he served over the
plate. AS a result OF his long string OF
early victories and the confidence they
inspired. Rube is said to have neglected
his training work, with the result that
he has deteriOrated physically. Accord
ing to Watkins, RUDE has learned a
valuable lesson. and has promised 10
devote his entire time during the re
nader OF the season to earnest work
for the success of the team.
Evidently MarQuard was not pos
Fessed of the information every pitcher
who ever became successful has had To
have. That is that no matter how much
natural ability an athlete has, 1t is es-
Sential that he keep in perfect condition
il he would succeed.

RAILROAD RATE LAW.

We approve the enactment of the rail
road rate law and the vigorous enforce
ment by the present administration of the
statutes against rebates and DETERMINATIONS.
as a result OF which the advantages form
ery possessed by the large shipper over
the small shipper have substantially dis
appeared and IN this connection we com
mend the appropriation by the present
Congress to. enab bile the interstate commerce
commission to thoroughly investigate and
give publicity To the accounts Of interstate
railroads. We believe, however, that tine
interstaSe commerce law should be further
amended SO as TO give railroads the right
to make aud publish traffic agreements
subject to the approval of the commission,
but maintaining always the principle OF
competition between naturally competing
lines and avoiding the common control Of
such lines 10y any means whatsoever. We
favor such national legislation and super
vision as will prevent the future over
