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

On the best of authority If is
learned that one of the vaudeville
syndicates has offered Marouard a
% weeks engagement at a weekly
salary Of $1,000, This offer holds
good only II 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, Merquard's 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 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 it is safe to say that his
baseball career will mean at least
100000 to him. Vanguard is still
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 20
on as long as Mathewson has, for
he hasn't the ability to con serve his
strength when 1t is not needed.
This is undoubtedly Rube's best
year, and 1t 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 $126 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 "bavled 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 Mo-
Graw's abuse so calmly.
Well. as every one knows, he
came up, was sent back and came
up again. He isn't graceful nor a
good fielder TODAY, and there ara
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 It.
