Marquard Tells About Nervous
Strain Under Which He
Worked.

PITTSBURGH, July 19-"Did you ever
work at a given task until you felt that

think Of anything else, when you were
awake and that your sleep was troubled
with dreams Of it?'
That was the query propounded by
RUDE Marquard. New FORKS star pitch
er. when he was asked how his recent
feat Of winning nineteen games in row
had affected him.
'.Of course / want to win every game
1 pitch. just as does every pitcher who
has the good Of his team at heart" con-
tinued the sterling southpaw. but to be
candid. I'm glad that streak is over 1t
was getting on my nerves.
why, several nights ] went to- bed
and the moment / closed my eyes tine air
| became full OF base. balls. gloves and
bats. / could see players running to me
as though they were going TO annihilate
me. When / would finally get to sleep
was pitching ball all night. When I
awoke in the morning felt as II | hadn't
been rested a bit.
II want to tell you that the strain Of
such a performance is awful. 1t isn't
so bad when you're out there pitching
It's after the games and at night when
1t gets you. When you are on the mound.
your mind is taken up with your work,
and you don't worry.
why. when ! had won my eighteenth
straight game. wanted to go back the
next day, and try 1t again. ] couldn't
get away from the feeling that l ought
to pitch at once. for fear something
might happen to me-.
Marquard says he is entirely over the
strain now, and believes he will win a.
lot more games for the Giants. He is
in fine physical condition. he says and
laughs at the idea advanced by men,
hers of the Brooklyn team while here
that his recent work will result in his
losing lot of games from this out
While admitting that the nervous strain
was telling, he declares that he suffer-
ed no permanent i'll effects Of any kind
and is certain that he will be as effec-
tive as ever the next time he goes to the
mound.
