LET MARQUARD PITCH.
Process Server Might Have Checked
the Rube's Victories.

NEW YORK. July 2.-Had It not been
for the fact that Sheriff Hamburger is q
base bail fan the long series of victories
won for the Giants by Richard De Mar
outs. also known as Marquard. might
have ended at the Polo Grounds with the
Boston game last Saturday.
An execution against Marquard's prop
erty for S145. which was obtained by a
theatrical newspaper for advertising Mar
guards theatrical act a year ago. was
handed in at the sheriff's office Saturday
morning with instructions that it be
served that afternoon at the Polo
Grounds. The execution was turned over
TO Deputies Winter and Metzger. and they
found out by telephoning to the office Of
the New York club that Marquard would
undoubtedly pitch.
The deputies knew Sheriff Harburger's
enthusiasm. and on the advice of Albert
siumenstiel. counsel 20 the sheriff, they
decided TO call up hamburger at Balti-
more.
You say Marquard is going to pitch to-
day, the sheriff said over the phone.
Then by all means do nothing to inter-
fere with his success in the game. 1t is
your duty to obey the law, but ] would
suggest that the Ia would not be broken
or even wrenched II you waited until the
game was over 10 serve the execution.
Be guided entirely by what you are told
when you reach the Polo Grounds
The deputies then set out for the
game. and when they reached the
grounds they sought out Secretary
Joseph d. O'Brien and explained that
they had to put the execution in Mar
guards hands before he left the
grounds.
"Tf you want to take chance of
making Marquard lose his eighteenth
game you can serve him before he
goes to the pitchers box. but IL you
have an ounce of local pride and pa
trtotism behind your badges you will
wait until the game Is over"
Metzger and Winter said that was
what they thought OF doing all tho

By J. ED GRuLo.

While It IL undoubtedly true that Marty
O'Toole has proven a disappointment. in
that it was naturally expected that a
twenty two-thousand-five- hundred dollar
pitcher should never lose a game, the
former st. Paul star occasionally shows
marked ability, though he does not APP
pear to be a consistent performer. So
far as the investment in O'Toole is con-
cerned 1t proved q good one The Pitts
burgh club more than got back what 1t
paid for tho pitcher last fall. and he is
still an attraction these days. When
Pittsburgh bought OToole it was for the
purpose Of making one final effort to win
the pennant Had OToole come through
as was expected last fall the Pirates
might have beaten the Giants to the wire.
Il was q gambling chance. and while no
pennant was won 1t was not q losing
game at that.
Were 1t not for the fact that New York
has SO long a lead that 1t seems impos-
sible to overtake 1t, thePirates would make
the old league race An Interesting one.
The way the team is going II seems GER
tain to eliminate all the other teams from
the race and should finish well up with
the Giants.
Jack knight has no one to blame but
himself for his failure to remain in fast
company. No man can make a success
of ball playing by using 1t as side is
sue. knights desire to become a dem
tist will eventually drive him out Of the
game, and the chances are 1t will be q
good many years before his new profess
sion will net him as good an income as
has base ball. Knight is still q young
man, and il he had given his time to the
game he could be major Lacquer for
several years yet. It would naturally be
supposed that a position which nets a
man about 5000 for six months. would
be worth looking after. and yet Knight
did not think enough Of 1t to report here
in time in the spring to get himself in
playing condition.
Had not the winning streak Of the
teams present standing would be her
aided as great achievement, for 1t
is fourth in the peennant race and has
a goodly margin over the 500 mark
But the fact that 1t lowered near the
top for so long makes the present
showing q disappointment and yet 1t is
SO much better showing than any
Washington team has ever made that
there is real cause for praise. 1t was
not to be expected that Griffith would
build up young team in one year and
win a pennant To finish in the first
division would be a really remarkable
achievement and would perhaps assure
that there would be more progress in
the future. Let the Nationals finish as
they stand today and there will be no
cause for complaint A first division
berth with a team that was made up
mostly OF minor league material last
spring is all that can be asked and
should satisfy patrons of the game
here.
The Athletics strength lies principally
in the fact that when the team is intact
there Is not a player on 1t who is not ap,
to break up ball game with his bat
Batting strength backed up by good, con
sistent pitching is sure to make win
ming combination. There is nothing par
ticularly brilliant about the performances
Of the champions, but 1t Is an earnest
working, consistent lot OF players. who car

who requested reinstatement. 1t decided
that McIntire. the pitcher once with

Chicago asked for the purchase price,
which was not allowed.
The commission did not take up the
