INDIANAPOLIS, May 1S.-Rube
Marquard, pitcher Of the Indianapo-
lis team in the American associa-
ton. is being watched by every
major and minor league manager in
the country.
He won the first six games he
pitched. Not more than one run
was made off him in any game, nor
more than three hits. Most of the
games were shutouts. That's going
some against American association
hitters.
Marquarj Is a Cleveland boy. He
pitched semi-professional ball in
that city in 1907, doing wonderful
work. He fairly begged the owners
OF the Celevland team of the
American league to give him trial.
but they refused. They said he
was too loose-jointed and awkward
and his feet were too big.
If he can keep up the gait he has
struck this spring he will be with
some major league club next
season. feet and all.

One set of prizes went to the
drivers of old horses that showed
the best condition. In this compe-
tition there were many horses, still
in perfect trim, that had worked
steadily from II to Is years. The
firm employing the driver who won
this prize was so pleased that in
recognition of it, and his many
years Of service, they guaranteed
him a life job and gave him the
privilege of retiring at any time he
chooses toNdo so with his wages as
a pension. He preferred to keep
on working.
