Ever hear how Rube M%arquard, NC
Graw's marvellous sidewheeler, got ms
start?
II was in Cleveland, where Ruoe
lives. back In 1906, that he was picked
IN by Herman Schley, a lieutenant IN
the Cleveland fire department, VINO was
,oonaeine an amateur baseball team.
R,Ibe's first game was at L~oudonvllle'
n against an Independent aggrega-
ron and he was beaten, l to u IN
eleven innings. Manager Schley thought
he wasn't classy enough and let MIN
go.
Rube wasn't discouraged. He asked
Nap Lajoie for n tryout with lne
Cleveland American Leaguers. Larry
turned him down. RUDE finished the
season with the Colonials and Baehrs'
Cleveland amateur teams, and got a
chance the year following with water
leo. la. He failed to make good though'
and was released.
Babe Myers, then manager or the
Canton Central League Club signed
Kim up, and RUDE struck his STRIDE,
He pitched splendid ball for Canton
went to Indianapolis, and finally to the
Giants.
With the National League race safe
" sewed up, Manager McGraw, OF the
Giants, has packed Rube Marquard ana
Christy Mathewson off on a vacation, to
rest UP for the worlds series. He
won't work them any more unless he
really has to, except just enough to
keep on edge.
II am anxious to win back the
laurels the National League lost in the
worlds series last year., and VIII prop
ably depend on Matty and Marquaro
to pitch all the games" said McGraw'
"They will work only enough TO keep
on edge. | have always believed that
Hughey Jennings's Detroit team was
o%utc1assed by the Cubs in 1907-08, be-
cause Donovan and Mullin, his star
pitchers, were overworked winning the
American League %pennant' 1 would
rather win the National League pen
nant by a single game and be strong
for the worlds series than pile up a
big lead and weaken the team for the
big fight"
New York fans are go upset with JOY
over the Giants success that they're
offering odds in their worlds series
bets.
The receipts per game In New York
probably will DO between 100000 ana
s65. 900. while the Philadelphia fans will
come across with $4,000 to $4,000 In
each contest at Shibe Park.
II that average is maintained in the
FIRST and second games in Philadelphia
and also in New York, it means the re-
ciepts will be around 100000. The play
ors win receive so per cent. OF ~$12O,0Oo,
divide it, 60 per cent. or $4,000 to the
victorious club and 40 per cent. or $4S,-
900 to the losing team. That will mean
about $1,000 for each of the victors ana
50, 900 for each loser, more money than
worlds series contestants have ever re-
ceived.

what the players received In former

history this fall. When he reached
Whftmore Lake, where the squad Is to

trouble. His name is A~llmandinger,

over six feet in height and weighing

summer carrying molten iron In a
foundry. not because he had to, but
because he figured it would be a good
way to get down to fighting trim.
