Rube Marquard VIII Clean Up
$4,000 If Giants Cop Pennant
BY Tad

On the best of authority it is
learned that one of the vaudeville
syndicates has offered Marquard a
p weeks engagement at a weekly
salary of $1,000. This offer holds
good only if New York wins the
pennant, so you may rest assured
that at least one member of the
Giant pitching staff is pulling
against the Cubs.
If the Giants hold their lead to
the end, Marquards earnings for
one year will easily reach $4,000.
If they win the big title, he will
make more than that Further
more, he will be in a position next
spring practically to name his own
terms. Let Rube's luck, or part Of
it, hold out for another season or
two and 1t is safe to say that his
baseball career will mean at least
100000 to him. Marquard is still
a young man, and If he takes care
of himself there is no reason why
he should not last seven or eight
years more. He can not hope to go
on as long as Mathewson has. for
he hasn't the ability to conserve his
strength when it is not needed.
This is undoubtedly Rube's best
year, and it is up to him to make
the most of it,
In Minors Six Years Ago.
Six years ago Vanguard was
pitching for the Canton club in the
Central league at the princely sal
airy of 1925 per month. Every
batter in that circuit had a whole
some respect for him, but the al
most unanimous verdict was that
he would never stay up in the
big show because of his awkward
ness and his weakness in fielding.
In those days RUDE never dreamed
of the good fortune awaiting him.
He was content to go along Win
ming a big majority of his games
and taking his frequent seedlings
from mates and manager. Yes,
RUDE was "baWled out" just as oft
en- in the bushes as he has been
since McGraw took hold of him,
and it was undoubtedly his early
teaching that made him take Nc
Graw's abuse so calmly.
Well, as every one knows. he
came W., was sent back and came
up again. He isn't graceful nor a
good fielder today, and there are
those who say he would be out
blowing but for his luck, but he is
getting more money than an over
Whelming majority of us and he
has taken enough verbal punish
ment to deserve 1t.

TODAY'S game, if there is any
game-which looked highly
improbable as this went to
the typewriter, but quite possible
as it goes to press-ends the home
stay of the Cracker club Rain or
shine, the Crackers depart on an
early train for New Orleans this
afternoon, to be gone until Sep
TENDER 2.
Here is the schedule of the
Crackers road trip:
At New Orleans August II. 10, 10.
AT Mobile August Is, II, IS.
At Birmingham August 10, 90, II.
At Montgomery August "a IS.
At Nashville August q, 2S.
At Chattanooga August 20, 80, 81.
It's pretty tough row to hoe,
all right, by tail-end team But
there's this about 1.-THE club has
nothing either to gain or to lose.
And Manager Alperman will be
able to work his players around
any old way and to get corking
good line on their possibilities.
The coming trip will really be
part of the 1918 training season.
Manager Alperman knows that
nothing he can do in the way of
winning games for the rest OF this
season will make any difference
and that the main chance Is to find
out as much as he can about his
men. For next season will soon be
rolling around, with new deck
and new deal.
IT HE baseball situation doesn't
furnish a peculiarly allurins
proposition for next year. 1t Is to
be hoped that the Georgia Railway
and Power Company will hold the
franchise. They don't have TO. If
they cared to make the price rea-
sonably low they could sell it.
However, they have shown them
selves such good spenders and such
game losers that Atlanta Is not
likely TO better Itself by a change
in ownership.
1t is tC he hoped also that the

club out of it.
Can Alperman do it?
Blessed If we know.
Blessed If ANYBODY knows.
He hasn't done anything with
the shattered remains he inherited
from Charley Hemphill. But then
John McGraw. or Connie Mack, or
Charley Frank, or Jawn Cancel
all tolerably successful managers,
in their humble way-would prob
ably not have done one whit better.
The question that the baseball
association must decide is: Can.
Alperman take a lot of good mate
rial next spring and make a win
ming ball club out of it?
After they've answered that one,
they must ask themselves: IF not,
who CAM"
There are always plenty of can
didates. Probably one out Of every
hundred candidates would make a
passably good manager Probably
NAlO ode VI every zen tuouSdlu is q
real manager"
THE trouble about this manager
business is that it takes two
or three years for a man to be-
come n manager, no matter what
his natural ability Is That rather
adds to the complications, as may
be observed
T may be said in conclusion that
the Crackers got away with a
game yesterday-and they did it
with no less pitching authority
in the box than Al Demaree, Giant
tobe and the highest priced man
ever sold by a Southern league
team. More than that. they did it,
despite the fact that Al allowed
only two hits. A little wildness by
the Gull in the first inning, a lucky
hit, flicker in the infield and
steal Of the platter by Bailey. gave
the Crackers three runs and they
needed no more. Brady pitched
excellent ball and deserved what
he got. He allowed hits, all right,
but when times got troublesome he
steadied down neatly

the backbone of the team and has
won considerably, despite the poor
showing OF the team at the first of
the year. Earl Fleharty seems to
have discarded his bean ball"
since he injured ELAN at Birming-
ham and Is pitching fair ball with
out it, There is no denying, how
ever, that 1t was his chief asset
during the first part of the season.
He and Charley Case can be de-
pended on to win majority of
their games during the remainder
of the season
Manager Schwartz would be fool
ish to entertain any high aspira-
tions for this season. but he is
bending all of his efforts toward
getting a winning team for 1913.
From the present outlook, every
member of the local team will be
back next season, with the proba-
BILE exception of Summers, who
has a chance to stick in the big
leagues.
Brooklyn May Want James.
Manager Schwartz is sure to re-
turn, and baltimore. Lindsay and
Perry will be back for infield jobs,
In the outfield Harry Welchonce,
one of the leading hitters of the
league; Jud DAILY, Del Young and
Jesse James will return, unless
James is recalled by Brooklyn at
the end of the present season. All
of these men are good hitters and
fast fielders and base runners and
there is no doubt but the local out
field will be strong one when the
1913 season opens.
1t is probable that Schwartz will
begin a hunt for a hard hitting
third baseman and second sacker
during the winter since baltimore
Is not a very good batsman and
Perry is liable to have one of his
annual slumps at third. With two
more fast infelders and good
pitching staff, the locals look for
midable for the coming season, all
though 1t is far advanced

DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES.

general approval at the hands Of
the Democrats all over the coun-

highest order of character and
intelligence, and are the present
Chief Executives Of their respec-

party in a disorganized and dis
rupted condition and the Demo-
Gratis united on a strong ticket,
there is every reason TO believe
that a magnificent victory is sure
for the Democratic nominees. We
favored the nomination of Judson

ALEXANDER INDICATED.

All remember the turbulent
scene in the recent state conyen-
ton occasioned by remarks OF
the late Hon c. H. Alexander,
drawing on his attacks, the eX-
element from which percipitated
his death. II is in order to state
that the unit rule, the assumed
right Of a state convention to in
struct delegates not elected by ii,
but in a primary, which has been
defeated in the national demo-
cratic convention, raised the iden-
teal issue in principle and sub
stantial fact, OF the Mississippi
resolution Mr.. Alexander disput-
ed. His declaration that he would
not consider it binding was iden-
teal with the contention Of the
Ohio delegates, who appealed
from a state convention i~nStruc-
ton, which released them. The
condemnation Of the unit rule by
the national convention is COM
pIcte yindiGation Of Mr.. AIcXan-
der; a vindicatiOn voted for by
the very men who reviled and
aSsaiIed him on the floor Of the
state convention, with a verbal
virulence that yerged on physical
violence.
The defeat Of such a unit rule
as that which the national con-
yention has put to sleep is hailed
as "a progressive" victory. In
fact the unit rule" has been
against the practice and doctrine
Of Mississippi democratic politics
from way back. There never was
a motion in a Mississippi conven-
ton for adoption of a general I'M
it rule, until the progressive
leaders," James X. Vardaman,
Earl Brewer, ct al, carried one
through in the recent convention.
And which these same worthless
lined up behind John Sharp Will
liams in voting down in the nat
ional convention. Vicksburg
