Knees Knocking Together in First Big
 League Game-Saw Crowd Double.

In a headline story under the title of How It Seems to Be 0 Big League Failure, the Baseball Magazine for April lets Rube MarQuard tell the ex- perience of 8 minor leagueE's entrance into the majors.
 Marquard S2ySS
 T shall never forget my first game in big league company, It is still so vivid in my mind that I cannot look back on # now with any degree of comfort We were playing Cincinnati. The people turned out in great crowds to see the new 'phenom' pitch. The records said there were 96,0oO people present, but when I entered the pitch CTS box with my knees knocking to- gether and looked up into the stands I could see at least double that num- ber ! was only 18 at the time and extremely anxious to make good, but I had small hopes of living up to the high expectations of my work which the crowd seemed to entertain, and l was extremely nervous. The mere fact that I was 50 anxious to make good made it impossible for me to do myself justnice. I could not bear to think what the crowd would say if l should hit a batter in ---- nervousness and in an effort to avoid this I was extremely wild. Then when tried to gain control by putting them over the plate, I had to depend solely on straight ball, which I was not able to handle with my ordinary good luck Then the balls started coming for me like rifle shots and went as safe hits It was a slaughter and blew up com pleteiy.
 That was the only game took part in that season, but it was enough. l was go badly TattIed that did not get over it all winter. Ths opening of the next season found me in fully as bad condition, or worse"
