MARQUARD HOLDS
THE SECRET TO A
NEW DROP CURVE
Twist, Invented by Fan, May
Make "Rube" a Wonder
Hereafter.
NEW YORK, April 20.

NEW YORK, April 20.
rOR nee in the history of baseball a
fan has come to the front with a
suggestion which Manager John J..
McGraw, of the New York Nationals,
believes will be OF practical use. A fan
named Wayburn. after watching the
game for many years. has invented the
''ragtime DROP which he maintains is
virtually impossible to hit, except by
merest chance.
Wayburn went up to the Polo
grounds for the practise period yester-
day morning, and, putting on glove and
mask, instructed RUDE Marquard in its
use. Mike Donlin. the nee hard
hitter, was on hand also, and Mar
guard, using the "ragtime," struck out
the former captain OF the Giants four
times.
According to Manager McGraw, Mar
guard is the only pitcher who will be
invested With the syncopated secret for
the present, and he is expecting to win
many a game with 1t before it becomes
common property.

MANY SAD TALES
FROM THE SENIOR
LAKEWOOD GOLFERS
Rev. Mr.. Gillett, Winner, and
j. F. Stanley, Second Man,
Only Exceptions.
BY STRAIGHT DRIVE.

TT HERE were many sad tales Of woe
to be heard last evening In the
clubhouse OF the Country Club
of Lakewood at the close OF the seniors
handicap tournament The Rev. c. r.
Gillett, Wykagyl Country Club. was the
only competitor outside of J. r. Shan
ley, WHO won second prize. only one
stroke behind Gfllett. who did not have
a hard-luck story to tell. Even the old
thoroughbred, II. s. Jennings, Ana
wants, who won the three best gross
and best net two years ago ! n the
Thanksgiving Day tournament for SEN
iors, was so broken up over his hard
luck of the morning thai he took Gtilett
out in the afternoon and beat him bad
lY, being six up on him going out. What
piled on the agony was the fact that 1t
was the mornings score that counted
and not the afternoon, and GfIlett be-
ing a minister, he could not even get
down a bet.
S. Y. Ramage, the Oil City golfer. who
is no easy mark for anybody In n
who was the low handicap
man al 7, simply had the hardest kind
of hard luck on some of the holes and
would simply play out Of ne bunEer
into another, as he put 1t himself. He
could not putt when he did get on the
green.
Ramage, like Jennings, was himself
again in the afternoon, when nothing
counted. r. r. Foster. Fox Hills, was
a man Of whom much WAS expected, az
he was given a handicap OF % on his
asst years score OF I2o, while it Is a
matter of record that In last seasons
Fox Hills invitation tournament he did
the clubs sporty eishteen-hoie course
in the qualifying round In the low score
of 50. He had the chance of his life on
this occasion, but fell down badly.
Henry W. Brown. Philadelphia Coun-
try Club, who won the Lakewood fall
tournament in 1907, was also regarded
as a dangerous man. and such he
proved for the first sixteen holes, as he
was Keeling them on in fours and fives,
irrespective OF their distances, until he
struck the seventeenth n eighteenth
holes, when he went all TO pieces, play
ing from the bunkers into the woods
and from the woods back into the
bunkers, until he wrecked hts card COM
p1etely. The trouble with the seniors
was that there were a trffle toe aa
traps and bunkers on the course to
suit their garne
Fred Herreshoff was fairly eating the
course, doing his practise rounds IN
the low seventies. While the amateurs
OF Great Britain are now discussing
the possibility OF Herreshof being
barred from competing this year IN the
British amateur championship T. Is not
giving Herreshoff the slightest con
Germ. as he has given Up his ccntem-
plated European trip this summer. on
accoun Of going into business for HIM
self.
He will play in the various leading
tournaments on this side Of the water
and in both the metropolitan and ma
tional championships. There are a
number of other high class golfers at
Lakewood in addition to Herreshof ana
Travis, and some fine golf is expected
before the close of the week.

- HE I~ronsides and the Bay Views
failed to come to an agreement
regarding the use of the base
ball grounds at West Side Oval at q
meeting held in the rooms of the lat
ter organization last night. The wheel
men state that the Ironsides will not
play games ON the aforementioned
grounds. However. a notice was re-
eeived this morning by Secretary
Frank Kloss, of the latter club. which
read: The Ironsides will play the
Armory A. C. on West Side Oval SUM-
day morning" This means a fight very
probably.
Both clubs agreed to divide the prop
erty on the grounds, the bleachers,
bases, etc, equally. This will prac-
ticaliy settle all further relations be-
tween the two organizations, according
10 the fronsides, I'm told. This failure
to agree with the wheelmen does not
mean that they ONT use West Side
Oval. On the other hand, the wheel
n1en claim they have enough ground
10 make the field u~nplayable. If the
IronefdeS cannot play on the present

old grounds in Fourteenth avenue.
