Fast as Ever.

1t was Rube Marquard's turn to fash
some Of his prettest wares yesterday in
a warrning-up canter previous TO the
worlds series. The Rube and Matty were
back from their jaunt to look over the
Red sox in Philadelphia, deeming one
glance sufficient, but McGraw is stu
gumshoeing around.
The gallant southpaw held undisputed
sway over the Superbas at Washington
Park for five innings in distinct contrast
10 his successors, Wiltse and Ames, who
were literally belabored. The final score
was s to in favor of the Brooklyn team,
but no runs were scored while Marquard
was in the box.
AS on his last appearance, five innings
was all the time allotted to Richard, and
he displayed all his oldtime skill and

punched off Ames's delivery in the eighth,
netting four more.

game promised. The Giants were all pre-

seventh, but there was miscue, Larry

the time things were getting shaped up
for double steal. Thus the rally was eff
fectively checked Thereafter Curtis was
invincible. lie was found for eight hits
which were well scattered, except in two
innings, when the Giants inflicted little
temporary damage.
Larry Doyle suffered no IN effects from
being spiked by Fisher on Thursday, and
was in the game as peppery as ever.
While several scratch hits leaked through
the infeld, the champions put up fast
game and went through without making
an error. Fletcher did a dazzling bit of
fielding around short. Kirkpatrick played
star game for Brooklyn, both at third
and short When Fisher was dismissed
