Marquard, the Giants famous port
side twirler, who has been making
a great hit as vaudeville artist
at the Montauk theater here. was
quoted in a Passaic paper yester-
day to the effect that he was
through with baseball for good. and
that he was going to Europe to
study music in a conservatory.
II am through with baseball. |
have had my last days on the dia-
mond and am going to Europe,
where ! will take up vocal culture
in a large conservatory. Baseball
has its destinations, but music is
my speed"
We pause in the quotation to
call the readers attention to a bit
of poor technique in the great
pitchers press agentry. The asser-
ton that the Markee of Marquar'
intends studying music in a large
conservatory is most inept. He
should have stated that Mr.. Mar
guard will acquire his musical edu-
cation in a small deaf and dumb
asylum. thus making the celebrated
lefthander unique among persons
seeking foreign tunes, and lending
value to the item.
However, we resume this can o
peas:
Early Call of Genius.
Il have always followed the hand
organist around Cleveland and
whenever ! got the opportunity to
hear music-for in those days we
did not have moving picture shows,
where music is played galore--I al
ways took ADVANTAGE of it."
Oh, yes. there is subsequent de-
NAL of the above. The RUDE says
in his addenda that he was kid
ding" some reporter. but he admits
that it is true he intends having his
voice cultured, although he doesn't
say what for, You know. reader.
it would serve that Rube just right
if the Giant management now in
sisted on his going straight to Paris
and studying music in that large
conservatory.

Mitchell Gets Chance to Beat

BY "Bud'' Fisher

er and many of the blows were al
together too low The dapper
young referee warned him twice to
keep his punches higher, but he

was very kind in allowing us
chance to beat it for the feathers
Up to the finishing punch. the
fight was all Ford's. He did all
the forcing and landed all the clean
blows. Mitchell shook off many
hard left hooks and smiled at EN-
all But whenever Ford iammed
his left low it hurt the Gotham lad
and in the third round one of these
uncouth wallops caused him to sink
to his knees. 1t was then that the
referee gave Mr.. Ford to under
stand that repetition of the same
would cost him the scrap.

that the winner would meet Clar-
