GIBSON GETS BOOST
BY SAM CRANE

Leach came back to form. but that Gib- son has been the Gibralter that was able to resist the storm of poor playing and bad pitching-that promised to wreck the Pirates craft in the early months of the season.
 Gibson never faltered during those stormy times. He was as steady as a rock then and now.
 It will be remembered how Giant after Giant in that record series dashed for second only to be turned back. They fell as fast as they tried the second base act. Not more than one Giant stole base on Gibson: two at the most and with such small scores it can be easily appre- ciated how much Gibson's catching con- tributed to the Pirates even break on the series.
 We will leave Umpire Rigler out of the question. President Lynch considers Rig Ter a good umpire. Baseball fandom and President Lynch do not agree.
 Gibson is one of the best catchers who ever wore a mask, and that is saying a great deal, when I have in my mind s eye Buck Ewing, Charley Bennett Mike Kelly, Roger Bresnanhan, Johnny Kling, Ed Sweeney and the other star backstops of the past and present.

HOW POWERS RIDES
BY BERT E. COLLYER

Chicago, September 4.-Jockey Powers, the muscle riderl Strange appelation, isn't it? Nevertheless it is the correct characterization of this first class riders aptness or capability of successful rid ing.
 Probably no other vocation has pro- duced so mary evolutions as to the direct method of encompassing the desired re- suits as that of riding. Years ago we were wont to believe that Cannon and his English Seat" was absolutely cor rect. Some even went so far as to claim him to be perfection in the sad dle. Winkfield. colored probably was the first to shorten the feathers as against the full length stirrup used across the water. Then Fred Taral, the flying Dutchman,'' effected type distinctly new, inasmuch as he appeared to com bine both Cannon and Winkfield poses.
 But it remained for Tod Sloan, the dean of all riders, without doubt the most accomplished horseman that ever threw a leg over a thoroughbred, com pletely to revolutionize the "seat" or sitting position in the saddle. From the full length stirrup first elicted much criticism, then merriment, but subse- quently, as turf history shows, threw the entire riding brigade of three continents into a more or less chaotic condition.
 Sloan claimed, and in this he was borne out by some of the cleverest horsemen in the country, that to ride short with the knees tightly pressed against the mounts withers, had the effect of throwing the weight forward and materially aiding the animal, when in full stride. With Sloan's success both here and abroad came emulation even by the effete of England. who at first derided him and made the lad the putting stone of much ill-timed English wit CD. However, of the vast army of youngsters who affected the Sloan seat, few entered the hallowed circle of suceess-in fact, of jockeys us- ing this seat who have made name for themselves can be counted on the fingers of one hand. Danny Maher, the most successful financially and otherwise. adopted It.
 Wooten, the little Australian, who for two years has pressed Maher hard for first honors in England, rides even short CT than did Sloan, and there is Suy Gar ner, the present-day champion rider on this continent.
 Marking back to Jockey Powers. Here is lad who has style all his own and characterized as sloppy or diametrically opposite to any other style either here or abroad In the first place Powers, af- fects the long stirrup; then. too. he does not allow the stirrup iron to enter the hoddow or arch of the foot Gas almost every other rider does), but retains the iron immediately under the ball. Thus posed or poised. and with the animal under him in full stride he gives the ap- pearance of being in swing. Aside from this the most distinctive feature of Powers horsemanship is his wrist rid ing.
 Unlike Sloan Maher, Winkfield, Mot ten, Garner and nearly every other rider rater as topnotchers, he does not shoot

chests and the jovial grin? When kling, Sullivan and Criger give up the game where will there be men to fill their places? Right now the visible supply of catchers in the two best leagues is so short and so inferior that it is the best possible answer to the eager youngsters who insist that modern baseball is so much better than the sort of game we fossils used to play. That Is not true. The history of the catchers and a comparison between those of today and those of long ago show things up in light that Is vast ly pleasing to the old-timers. The mod- ern catcher. as a rule, is run down in size, strength, and all-round value, when compared to the men who starred behind the plate in 1888 and 1889. King. Carrigan and Archer are among the few catchers I can mention in the pres ent company who can travel the gait at the pace maintained by the old timers. These men can hit, throw, backstop perfectly and handle game with intelligence and skill. Sullivan and Criger, old as they are, can still outcatch a regiment of the atter-day youngsters but neither of them ever cut any ice as hitter and they are both due for the gong.
 Take the big catchers of the long ago and what a body of men they werei They were giants, as a rule in size. Doggy Miller. Kid Baldwin and Billy Earle were among the few of the old time catchers wEo were small men, and they were chunky. agile and enduring Such men as Flint, Kelley, Ewing Buckley. Daley. Boyle and Bennett were big fellows, burly and impressive. So were Farrell and Mcclure and more yet whose names I can't recall. These big fellows were grand batsmen, as a rule, and some of them were among the finest baserunners of their day. Can you imagine modern catcher be- ing one of the liveliest men upon the team when 1t comes to the base run hing stunts? Nowadays a catcher Is supposed to be simply a catcher-a sort of privileged catcher of the similar character. He is there to catch and not to hit, run bases, or stir up the game like red-tailed demon. Can you inn agine Buck Ewing or Mike Kelley be- ing simply an automatic factor, just catching and throwing, striking out when going to the plate in the pinches and having never a word to say?

ducks.' as the turf parlance has it-a movement of the arms and the upper part of the body toward the mounts head, and supposed to be helpful to a tiring horse. On the contrary Powers, at all times is almost flat upon the mounts neck and when little extra exertion or "help'' is required, then the only dis cernible movement on the part of Powers aside from his swinging feet is an up- ward inclination of the wrists which ac- companies every stride of the horse.
 Questioned as to how he came to ride in this manner. Powers frankly told me he didn't know. and that 1t just came natural. Regarding the wrist riding, however, the lad was extremely intelli- gent.
 You see." he said, "when a horse be- gins to tire, that is time to hold his head steady I never try to life a horse home, just keep his head up, allow ing 1t enough leeway with the reins to enable 1t to stretch its neck, (which 1t dies every time it strides). and encourage it by word of mouth. In this respect have a little advantage over some of the other boys, because I am strongly mus cled in both arms and shoulders
 Herein probably lies the lads propen- sity for making "quitters" stick and the sibriquet of muscle rider.''

New York, September 4.-Those thou yands of spectators who were fortunate enough to witness the recent four-game series at the Polo grounds between the Giants and Pirates not only saw record breaking string of contests, but they also were put wise to what was the real reason of the Pirates defeating the Detroit T1g- CTS last fall for the worlds champion ship-Gibson's catching.
 The record-breaking performance was that the four games resulted in the same score, 2 to l. There have been several series in the past between two teams that have seen the same score of to chalkeo up but history does not show previous quartet of games.
 "Rabe" Adams was hailed as the only scororering hero'' of the worlds series of 1910. That fine pitcher was the sensa- fion of the important contests. His was, in fact. the most spectacular personality His grand box work was, in itself, superb, and coming as 1t did as surprise and from a player. who, previous to the series, was comparatively unknown, and jumping into the breach when the old standbys were showing signs of distress, as he did, Adams became the psychological hero for the same reason that First Baseman Ab- stejn, would have been the psychological scapegoat had the Pirates lost.
 In the midst of all the clamor of Pitts burg fandom over the victoryD of the Pi- rates in the spasms of heroics and several kinds of fits thrown to laud Babe" Ad- ans to the baseball skies, Catcher Gib- son's firm solidity was more or less for gotten. He failed to receive the credit due him. There was no psychological moment or moments for the sturdy, steady, reliable Gibson. He was always there. The situations in which he shone did not have to be brought to focus. There were no crucial times for him. He was just as ready to head off the fu- rious base-stealing rushes of that most daring and dangerous pilferer, Ty Cobb, as he was the less spectacular dashes of Moriarity around the paths. All runners looked alike to Gibson in that series for the Ronfalon of the universe, as they did fin the more recent series between the Giants and the Pirates above mntiond.
 Catcher Gibson was the pivot around V hfch the Pirates success in the world S series revolved. as he has been in their successes of the present race for the Ma tional league pennant The phenomenal way in which the Smoketown boys have come from behind during the last two months, and their bid for the champion ship of 1910 has not been so much for the reason that Wagner, Clarke and

New York. September 4.-Will Rube Marquard, the "s11.ooo beauty, whose sole claim to National league fame so far has been that more money was paid for him than for any other player, ever amount to anything as big league pitcher?
 That Is the question that is bothering the baseball fans of the country, as well as Manager McGraw President John T. Brush ct al, ct al., ad lib.
 Will the tall, ungainly southpaw be- come a lemon or a star?
 McGraw has the idea that eventually Marquard fork-hand slings will have a paralyzing effect on opposing batsmen, and that the Indianapolis purchase will make National league sluggers of the biggest rep" throw away their bats.
 It is a wee small idea perhaps, but it fingers in the little managers big mind, nevertheless.
 Is Marquard game or has he heart no bigger than a pea?
 Has he good, red blood in his veins or are the corpuscles of yellow tinge?
 It is up to Marquard himself to answer these questions.
 am sure that the big Hoosier would make star pitcher in any minor league club. Now why can't he be equally suc- cessful in the majors?
 Chief Meyers of the Giants Is one of Marquard staunchest packers and thinks he has everything to make one of the best pitchers who ever went on the mount. The Chief says he never caught a pitcher who had more speed, puzzling shoots and curves than the same puzzlIng proposition, Rube Marquard. and he predicts a most successful big league future for him.

VANGUARD A LEMON !?

uuard's one grave fault and the only reason of his failure to make good. But when up against the Texas league teams in the south this spring and last Mar quard had almost perfect control and won nearly every anne he pitched by shut-out scores.
 am of the opinion that Marquard imagines that too much is expected of him. That immense price the New York club paid for him has been handicap and a heavy burden to him instead of a help.
 Now, that baseball people in general expect so little from him, possibly he may regain the nerve that he apparently has lost, and with Chief Meyers, I am of the opinion that he can be developed into a winning twirler.
 That McGraw thinks so too is shown by the fact that he has refused offers for Marquard that were nearly if not quite as big as the amount paid for him. Possibly another season in some minor league club would enable the big pitcher to reain the confidence and abil- ity that caused him to be in such de- mand as he was when the New York club secured him.
 There are many pitchers, now stars of the first magnitude, who had somewhat similar experiences to Marquards s. Christy Mathewson had his own troubles in mak- ing the Giant team, and was not appre- ciated at his full worth for many months. In that connection it will be remembered that Horace Fogel, when manager of the Giants, put Matty on first base with the intention of making the best pitcher who ever threw ball a permanent guardian of the initial sack
 Ed Walsh when he first joined the White Sox, was considered hopeless of development, but Comiskey stuck to him, and see what Walsh Is today. And there have been hundreds of similar cases.
 There are hopes of Marquard and if he does get into the stride he showed in Indianapolis, lookout for him, that's all.

While several games. as stated, were postponed, they were not started, and as consequence no rain checks have been issued.
