MAROUARD IS BASEBALL'S
MOST PICTURESQUE FIGURE

The most picturesque pitching figure
in baseball to-day is our old friend
"Rube" Marquard. southpaw. Marquard
is known as the 81, 900 beauty. He was
the highest priced recruit from the bush
leagues until Pittsburg paid $500 for
MARTY O'Toole.
Back in 1903, Marquard was twirling
sensational ball for the Indianapolis
American Association team. He went
through the A. A. circuit like a forest
fire. literally burning up the league.
Nothing like him ever broke loose in the
tall grass. Major league managers
started bidding for the phenom. McGraw
had the bank roll and outbid the coun-
try for the Indianapolis wonder. paying
81 900 for "Rube."
During the winter of 19OS-O9 Marquard
was written up from one end of the
country to the other as the greatest
young twirler in the game. No minor
league recruit in the history of baseball
was touted as highly as the "Rube."
New York baseball bugs had their
appetites whetted for knockout pitcher.
When the 1909 season opened they ex-

but shut-outs and no-hit games.
1t was a case of expecting too much.
and when "Rube" started of poorly he
was roasted to a frazzle. The cartoon
lists made fun of him and the baseball
writers dubbed him the biggest counter
felt in the game.
The poor boy became discouraged and
would have thrown up the job, but John
J. McGraw knew he was there with the
real goods. Nothing could shake the
Little NapOleOn'S" faith in Marquard.
The big sOuthpaw won five and lost thir-
teen games of ball that year. still Nc
Graw carried him on the Giants pay
roll
The following season his showing was
almost as bad. He worked in eight
games, winning four and losing four.
What can you see in that big stiff?"
asked n baseball fan Of McGraw.
We'll, he has all the earmarks of a
great twirler, ana some day I'll make
you take off your hat to 'Rube' Mar
guard" replied the Little Napoleon
It's long lane that has no turn, and
the turn to prosperity road for Mar
guard came this season.

Baltimore, Oct. A.-The representatives
of the Baltimore Country Club moved
down the Columbia Country Club Of

most exciting golf team matches ever
witnessed at the Roland Park links this

four out of the five contests. Extra
holes were required in three Of the
matches before the local golfers were
able to display their supremacy over the
players from the Capital City. One OF
the matches. between Jenkins OF the
locals and Leet of the WashingtonianS.
went twenty holes before the winner was
determined, the former finally capturing
the match.
The other two matches of the contest
that went over the regulation number OF
holes were the ones between Ellicott OF
the locals and Davidson OF Washington,
and Bond Of Baltimore and Harlan of
the visitors. The Baltimoreans were
successful in both of these matches, each
winning by one up. Corkran defeated
Eynon of the Columblas, six up and five

from a shut-out by dropping his match
with Hillyer of Washington by the same
score.

JAPANESE LOGIC

A teacher of English in Japan re-
Gently gave as an examination ques-
ton, What is ventilator?" Besides
the number of answers that were ap-
proximately correct, there were two
which indicated that the students
must have been absent either in body
or mind on the day when the school
room ventilator had been discussed.
The first was, "The ventilator lives
in the mountains" the second, Go
lumbus was a great ventilator."
When occasion offered, the teacher
reminded his class that attention and
application are requisite for acquiring
knowledge, and seriously asked them
why anyone should have given an an
swer such as the one concerning Co
lumbus. One of the best spokesman
in the class essayed an explanation
somewhat as follows:
Columbus brought new ideas back
to the old world; he changed the cur
rent of thought and opened a great
door into the new and outer world:
therefore he was a great ventilator."
The long-pent vexation of the teacn-
er was lifted, and he felt that his
mind had been ventilated and tl'1 k
ing the matter over, he conclEce ed
that the ventilator that Lives in the
mountains" must be old Boreas that
sweeps down over the valleys of com
monplace existence and inspires peo-
pie with new and original ideas -

LEGISLATURE sWATs THE FLY

The legislature of Florida took time
from its multitudinous labors to deal
the fly hard blow, one that was
much needed, and for its good offices
deserves much thanks
One of the bills that has recei~ed
the approval of the governor, and
which is now law in operation, was
one that requires all hotels, boarding
houses and restaurants to screen AL
doors, windows and passageways and
other openings.
The law is a good one so far as I
goes, but it could have gone much
farther and accomplished a proper
tionate amount of good.
1t should also have required all gro
Gerry keepers, butchers, and all Other
purveyors of food to screen their
places of business and thus have shut
off from the fly access to much of the
food that is used in the places named
in the bill
But for what we did receive we
should be truly grateful.
The law is a good one, and will
open the way to require more screen
ing in other lines of business. When
that is accomplished owners of pri-
vate residences will be educated to
the necessity of also aiding in the
war against the fly by excluding it
from all access to the homes of the
state.
We may even expect to see that the
accumulation of garbage of any kind
and the piling UP of stable offal will
be prohibited, and the man who per-
mits such accumulation will be helu
up to the justifable scorn of his
neighbors.
We may even go farther and make
a direct war On the fly with the posi-
bility that we may see its total ex-
tinction.
Meanwhile it is up to the officers of
the law to see that this particular law
is thoroughly enforced.
It's provisions make violation mis-
demeanor, and every day that the no.
tel keeper neglects to comply with
it's directions is a separate offense,
for which the delinquent may be fined
fifty dollars-Miami Metropolis.
