MARQUARD is SURE.
Tells State journal Readers That He'll
Beat Boston Today.
By "Rube" MarGuard.

Today is the day that I will forever
put the 20. t. on that eleven thou-
sand dollar lemon title. Also 1t is
the day that the Giants get back in
the running; the day that we will hand
cut a singing defeat to those Reo
Hosed athletes from Cultured Boston,
the day that will start the Giants on
the road to three successive wins ana
the worlds championship for the year
of 1912.
All of which proves that 1t is gong
to be quite some days.
When I was q mere slip of lad
nv mother schooIed me in not boasting
about myself I have never forgot
ten it either, but 1 think it is my
duty to my teammates, to Manager
McGraw and to the loyal Giant fans
to announce that L am fit and ready 10
bring another victory to New York.
If 1 were not in shape to pitch 1
would not go in; if I had the least
doubt that 1 was not right on edge l
would REFUSE to work, even though l
ing my turn. But Rube Marquard is
right and he is going to win.
There is only one thing that may
cost me the game. The Giants must
give me a run. You know no pitcher
can win unless the men behind score
at least one man. Take that game
Saturday in Boston. Matty p1rcheu
the very best game of his life put
could not win because the Giants coulo
not score a couple of runs.
I don't believe 1 will need even one
run to win today but I will stake
my end of the worlds series money
on myself if the Giants will give me
a pair of tallies-
Manager McGraw called me UP on
the telephone today and asked now
the old Southpaw wing was nXeu'
Never better, Mac" I assured him.
well, Rube, I am going to STAKE
our all on you,'' he said, and l know
that YOU car pull US out of the rut
we are in" =
This confidence that McGraw has IN
me is going to be repaid in full. Bos-
4;on has showed the Giants nothing TO
date but they have had the breaks.
They have been more consistent IN
their hitting, however The Chants
have been hitting the ball good ana
hard but they haven't met it when hits |
meant runs.
wish McGraW would make cou- |
pie of changes in his team for today |
game. He ought to make a shift IN |
his outfeld and also make one change |
in his infield. 1 would like to see
Harry Mccormick playing in that out
field. Not that 1 believe he is any |
better than Murray, Devore, Snod-
grass or Becker, but he is a bear with
that old ash. I think he is the most
dangerous hitter in the country and
McGraw certainly neeOs to have some
hitting behind his pitchers if we pun
through to the championship.
I am confident Larry Doyle will hit
his batting stride tomorrow and if he
does I will get the two runs that 1
will need to win my game.

Giants Catcher Assures State Journal
It'll Be a Fight Today.
r. Iohn (Chiefl NEeyers.

Anv time a desperate guy is backed

That is just the position OF the New

Luck has played against US very daT

Of either playing doubly for or against

ed out proposition that may turn the
tables in our favor. The rules under
which this annual classic of the dlF.-
rnond is fought specific ally state that
the scene of the seventh game If one
is necessary, must be decided by lot
PREVIOUS to the beginning of the Si-th
ccrtest. Wherefore, if we have any
luck in the cast that tie game between
Matty and Collins, Hail and Bedient
will give us the advantage of home in
f1uence for at least two games in a row,
provided We do not drop out of the
fight today.

A representative from Indiana came

later on a Saturday night. The next
morning she said:
Nov. Ralph. Wen go to church. OF

attending?"
"Wh er-uh. which one, you say" re-
piled the congressman. why.
there's a mighty nice little church
down here just a couple OF blocks. It's
sue an easy walk that I've been go

more fashionable churches"
"All right. if you feel at home there.
that's where We'll CO." said the o n

So they put on their things and went
to the little church down the street.

startling discovery.

Beal Snead. the millionaire banker of
Amarillo and murderer of Capt. A. G..
Boyce, the rich Pan Handle cattle mar
Jan. IL. is at liberty after a hard
fought battle for a writ of habeas cor
pms in Judge Simmons district court.
Snead was granted bail by Judge Sim
mons in the sum of $4,000, after hear
Ing four hours of arguments by attor-
dred and fifty wealthy bankers, CAPT
talists and ranchmen of west Texas
signed Snead's bond. The combined
wealth of the signers will total nearly
a billion dollars. Judge Simmons an
nounccd that he believed Snead was
entitled to bail because the prisoner
was not capable of sound reasoning
either at the time Of the killing or any
time after his wife eloped from the Ar
lington Heights sanitarium with A. G.
Boyce, Jr.
Among the signers of Snead's bond
are his father. Joseph T. Snead Of
Georgetown. a preacher; his father-in-
law. T. S. Snyder of Clayton. n. NJ,
and his brothers. Marvin and Joe
Snead Of Dalhart.
Lynn and Will Boyce, sons of the
slain cattleman. were present in the
courtroom when Judge Simmons an
nounced Snead should be given bail.
The Boyces had been resisting every
effort Of Snead to obtain bail and had
hired their W attorneys in the case.
They gave no sign of n feeling,
however, after the announcement and
walked silently from the courtroom.
Old Men in Tears.
Snead's father and fatherin-law,
however. both in their seventies,

their cheeks. Snead. beyond smiling,
showed no emotion. He was escorted

malities of signing the bond were car
ried out and he was at liberty.

Before the session of court began
yesterday morning, officers searched

The two Boyce brothers calmly turned
over to Sheriff Rea two big reyolvers
which they carried in their hip peck
cts. After the session ended, the
weapons We're returned to them. AS
usual, the millionaire prisoner yester-
day morning was brought from the
county Jail through the underground
tunnel, avoiding crowds and the Boy
ces. In granting bail to Snead, Judge
Simmons was severe in his denuncia-
ton of the murder OF the Elder Boyce,
saying he could not condone the STAY
ing of a defenseless and aged man.
The fact that Snead stood by his wife
after her elopment with the younger
Boyce. proved, according, to Judge
Simmons. that the husbands mind was
unbalanced at the time and that he
was driven to crime through worry
and desperation.
