MARQUARDs MARK
MAY NEVER FALL
-Orvie Overall Thinks Nine
teen Straight Likely to
Stand for Generations.
(By orval overall.)

While the baseball fans Of the coun-
try will readily admit that the recent
pitching feat of RUDE Marquard Of the
New York Giants was a wonderful
performance. I am inclined to believe
that the real merit Of his feat is not
so thoroughly understood. In my
opinion, Marquard has performed not
only in record breaking style, but has
set a new record that will stand for
doubtful If his record will be duplicat-
ed in a generation by any league
pitcher. where the rules are strictly
enforced and where the task Of win
ming a game is made just as difficult
as science and class can accomplish.
There is a possibility that the feat
may be equaled in some minor league.
which / seriously doubt, but for any
man to win nineteen straight games in
a major league championship season,
where the pitcher is opposed by the
cream of the baseball world and where
class lee class and the ablest gen.
erals of the diamond are plotting for
your DOWNFALL, is an achievement that
must go down in history as a record
to be shot at by the future greats Of
the big brush heaving department. In
stances may be cited where in the
early days of baseball some pitchers
have won more consecutive games
than M%arquard, but the fact must not
be overlooked that baseball then and
baseball now are so widely different
in style OF play. rules of play and
pitching and in the science Of the
game, that comparisons Of records
made then and now would be ridicu-
.lous.
Naturally. some will say hat Mar
guard was lucky to hang up a great
record. Granted. Baseball luck is
a part of the game and it is one of
the biggest factors in the success of
championship teams. But luck must
be strongly backed up with class be-
fore it can become an effective fen.
ture in any performance upon the dia-
mond. When class enters into com.
petition, the element of luck is bound
to r out at some stages and prob.
ably turn the tide of battle one way
or the other. Pitching success de.
ponds almost as much upon the luck
of the game as upon the ability OF
the pitcher. for 10 pitcher can win q
game unaided.

He sent Col. Roosevelt a postal card and

IAN atrocious crime" in taking Panama
from Colombia, and bidding him beware
OF the vengeance of God.
Molina declared he would 60 to New
York on the same train with the colonel
and would see him there or would follow
him to Oyster Bay. He exhibited a tick,
ct over the Pennsylvania railroad to New
York that would entitle him to travel
on the train taken by the colonel. He
also displayed a large roll of bills.
Molina sent a box of flowers to the
colonel and tolloyed it with a note writ

KNAPP AGRICULTURAL DAY
Schools of South Are Asked to Observe
November ~.

Memphis.-The 148, 900 teachers and
the 7,000,0 900 pupils of the South are be-.
ing urged by their educational and agri.
cultural leaders to assemble 1900, 900
farmers, their families and friends in the
$4,000 school houses on Nov. 27 for an
hour, in order to survey and review their
agricultural resources and achievements,
and to express their appreciation Of the
services of one of their great benefactors.
Agriculture is worthy of this considcra-
ton, for the farmers of the nation have
this year produced ten billion dollars
worth of crops to feed and clothe nearly
100,0Oo,O00 people here, with a surplus
for other nations,
Knapp Agricultural Day is the official
designation. The South wishes to honor
the memory of DR.. S. A. Knapp as the
founder of the demonstration work and
the boys and girls clubs. This is fit
ting, because 10000 demonstrators are
making larger crops on their farms and
corn club boys are attracting worldwide
attention by growing more than 225
bushels on one acre at low cost. The
indications are that several of the $4,000
boys will this year break all records.

DEFENSE SCORES
IN BECKER CASE
SULLIVAN sW0RE ROSE, WEBER
EFT AL. FRAMED UP BECKER.
SAYS He WAS OFFERED BRIBE
Confident Of Victory. Becker's Counsel
Would Not Allow Him to Take
the Stand-Sullivan Recalled
After Defense Closed.

New YOrk.-The case of the state
against Police Lieutenant Charles Becker
closed abruptly and dramatically with
the district attorney, at the courts com
mand, reading into the record a flood
Of testimony from Becker's star witness
Jack sullivan" for whose admission
Beeker's lawyers had fought long and
hard when Sullivan testified before.
His testimony was in direct support Of
the contention Of the defense-that Rose
Weber, WALTON and Schepp5, informerf
and state witnesses, had consPired in
Jail to send Becker to the electric chain
by their own perjury.
John +. Mcintyre, Beckers chief Of
counsel. had declared his case rested
when Sullivan was recalled. He said
frankly that he did not want Sulliyan's
testimony. The court ordered the ease
reopened and instructed an attendant tc
call Sullivan to the witness stand. Mr..
Mcintyre refused to question him and
Justice Golf instructed the district attor,
Hey to ask the questions AS a part OF
the case of the defense certain ques,
tons which the court had excluded dur
ing Sulliyan's previous testimony.
These questions had to do with con.
yersati0ns Sullivan said he had in the
West Fifty-third street jail with Rose
and Weber.
Rose told nae that he and Weber
and WALTON and Sch2pps were going to
frame up Becker" Sullivan declared.
He asked me to corroborate his testi,
mony. They all asked me-hept at me
day and night. When n left off the

district attorney one day and after he
had read it, he came to me and said.
Jack, the district attorney writes me
that he wants to know if YOU are going
to ]corroborate us. He says if you do,
it will be all right; if you don't, you'll
be indicted
"Weboer said to me: The only way
you can get out Is for you to do as Mr..
Whitman says and swear that you saw
Becker and Jack Rose and mt a few
hours after the murder. If you do that,
you'll get out, like we will after the
trial. If you don't, you'll be indicted and
spend six months in Jail Once Weber
said to me: Jack, FOR Gods sake, say
you saw Becker, asa we will testify. If
You want money, I'll give You $1,000
now and when you get out we'll 60 into
the hotel business. I'll put in $685. 900
and We will divide the profits even. All
