PITCHER MARQUARD HAS
LOST HIS CONFIDENCE

New York, Sept. 29.-Rube Mar
guard, the pitcher for whom Muggsy
McGraw paid $1,000, has come out
with an explanation for his recent poor
work. He claims that he is a cold
weather pitcher. and that the heat of
the summer takes the stiffness out of
his curves.
One of his team mates in discussing
the matter said: "Rube would be d
rafting good chap if he had little
more confidence in himself He start
ed off well, but along in July began to
get the idea into his head that the
warm weather was affecting him. He
Immediately went up in the air, and
worried so much that he has become
of practically no use at all. If lie
would quit worrying and would have
confidence in himself he would be the
leading pitcher of the league.
You will notice that when he does
find the plate he fans the batter. It's
queer, but when he sends them over,
the batsmen can't connect"

Bell, owned by Edward Thompson CT
Northport, l.. l., and driven by Thomas
w. Murphy, won the worlds record for
2-year- old trotting FLIES today and
tied with Trampfast for worlds honors
for trotters of that age. of both sexes.
1t was in the second heat of the Horse
Review Futuritys junior division that
the filly trotted so well. Almost a gale
was sweeping over the track and the
first heat had shown that Native Bell
was superior to anything in the field.
Murphy took the youngster far out
in front in the record mile and let her
trot at will until 200 yards from the
finish. Then instead of urging her on.
the driver held Native Bell back and
took her to the finish jogging. Had a
hard trial been made, the Trampfast
mark, made two years ago at LeXing-
ton with Murphy driving, would have
been bettered. Time by quarters:
1914; 1854; 1.3S; 212A.
This race caused some of the heavi-
est betting of the present Grand Cir
cult meeting. Native Bell was gener-
ally favorite, although some tickets
were sold with Eva Bellini at the top.
