WITH BEEF BARONS
Veteran Packer, At Trial,
Says He Refused to
Join Agreements.

CHICAGO, Feb. 2o.-DeclarinE that
year in and year out he had fought the
beef combine, that ever since he started
In the packing business, in 1865. he had
horne the brunt of tho combined at
tacks of allied interests, Ferdinand
SulzbeSge-. seventy two years old vet
eran of the packing industry, today con-
tinued his story before the jury in
Judge Carpenters court.
II fought the other concerns at every
turn" declared the veteran, when
asked IL he had not sought agreements
that would protect his territory. I'VE
acid many conferences and opposed
them in conference as we'll as in the

sidered loyal to me-" -
Then he described some OF the COM
promises he was forced to enter into
when he found hinsclf on the defense
before the allied interests of tho indus
try. He told how he had been brought
into the conferences in 1S00 when the
Veeder dream of blllion-doIlar meat
combine was being planned. His COM
Rsny was to be merged with the others.
! The moment the scheme failed, and ne
saw there was a chance for him to
operate alone, Sulzberger declared he
again took tha field single handed to
light for business against tho Armour,
Swift, Norris, and Cudahy interests.
I'VE made all the money we could.
We charged high prices when we
thought we could get them, and we
lowered our prices when business grew

get an advantage over my Competitors, .
he said.

tion. He learned that Frederick Jo-
seph, vice president of the Schwartz
schtld & Sulzberger Company, has sold
his interest to Edward Tilden and Louis
Swift, his most bitter rivals. This in.
terest was sufficient to prevent him
from carrying on the business as he
desired. Joseph was discharged and
a reorganization perfected, in which
Tilden and Swift got non-voting stock

SAosts and selling prices as those de-

NAROUARD Holds
WORLD S RECORD
STAR PITCHER OF NEW YORK
GIANTS Is MOST WONDERFUL
PITCHER TODAY.
SEVENTEEN STRAIGHT wins
Only Once Has Record Been Surpassed
and Then in old Days of Under
hand Pitching.
Bv "Bud" Fisher

In getting into the consecutive win
brigade. II. w. Marquard. the star
hurler of the New York Nationals and
one of the most famous of southpaw
pitchers, has added new laurels to his
wreath.
BY winning fourteen straight victo-
r.es Marquard has set tho baseball
world agog with excitement and in
terest.
His victories have all been clean cut
and save for one game, pitched on
April 20 against Brooklyn, have all
gene the full route.
In 1884 one Redbourne got eighteen
Straight victories in eighteen successive
days. This IL perhaps the greatest
feat ever performed by any pitcher for
all time.
"Mcky" Welch Of the New Yorl;
Giants in 1884 had a record of win
ming eighteen straight victories. A
twirler making that run today would
have the baseball world crazy. Welch's
record is almost forgotten today and
at that time created very little COM
ment.
No Real Pitchers Then.
But these feats were in the days OF
Underhand pitching and before
curves were known. Scores of 20
to 10 were common in those days.
Marquard's accomplishment up to
the present time stands out as the
81 eatest feat ever performed by a
baseball pitcher since the game
started.
The New York Giants have had on
their list more twirlers that got into
the big win column than any other
team in the land. Keefe, Welch,
Rusie. Meekin. Mathewson, McGin-
nifty and Marquard all having the
double number of wins to their credit,
while members of this organization.
Marquard was born in Cleveland,
Ohio, in 1889. his first regular en-
gagement was with the Canton club OF
the Central league in 1907 the same
place where the great and only Cy
Young made his first bow in baseball
scme seventeen years before Mar
guards time. Marquard's work while
with Canton showed class and was
away above the average hurler In that
circuit. The Cleveland Americans had
string on him that year but didn't
consider him worth trial. His pitch
Ing for Indianapolis during the season
of 1908 was the sensation of the Amer
lean Association.
What Marguard Cost.
The New York club of the National
league purchased Marquard about the
middle of that season, paying $1,000
for him, the highest price ever paid
for pitcher up to that time.
Under McGraw the big left handler
had an awful time getting or striking
his stride, In 1911 Marquard lead the
pitchers In the National league with
a percentage of .779 in games won.
