What a Player Who Realizes

Works, Doesn't Sulk, and
Keeps q Stiff Upper Lip.
by w ]. MACBETHl


New York. n. Y. July "a strange
world, indeed. this little sphere OF ours
and stranger still that portion Of its
Inhabitants which rants and raves
six months o. the year over our ma
tlonal pastime. Say one cold cruel
word against "Rube" Marquard to
any citizen OF Manhattan or environs
and then get ready for q punch in
the eye Whisper j scandal against
the fair name of Fred Merkle if you
are contemplating suicide. Yet a brief
spell back the enthusiasts who now
worship at the shrine of this grand
pair were denying them with oaths
and curses.
We viii deal just now with MerkIe's
case. Marquard has been exploited in
these columns heretofore; anyhow his
praise enough in itself. Marquard was
a failure for two seasons simply be-
cause during that time he had lost
confidence In his ability. It was never
question OF class with him. He al
ways packed the goods; he couldn't
deliver them: that was all But with
Merkle-ah, how different. Here is a
tribute paid him recently by Tom
Lynch president Of the National league.
@Merkle," said Lynch, II consider
one Of the most wonderful men that
ever broke into baseball. He is a
man in every sense of the word. His
heart is as big as that Of an OK. other
wise he wouldn't be in major league

MOTORCYCLNG
"HEAPS'' OF FUN
Girl Riders Becoming More
Common; Here's One-a
Good One.

Sure, its fun-"heaps" of ito ride,
says Miss Rosamond Foster-but not
all riding is riding. And you can de-
pend upon Miss Rosamond Foster, at
Brookline, Mass, to speak from an
intimate knowledge of riding. For in
stance. she was formerly an enthusiast
tic equestrienne-a lover of her fine
black steed-but now the powerful and
comfortable motorcycle has taken its
place and far outcIassed it in her es-
timation.
Miss Foster likes the outofdoors, the
rollicking jaunts hither and thither
through parks and country, the rush
Of the summer air and the health it
brings. She used to enjoy her horse,
but today on the motorcycle she goes
further, faster, and with more COM
fort and ease.
One glance at her Will convince al
most anyone that riding agrees with
her. She's pretty and healthy and lap
py and when she says motorcycling
beats" all other methods of riding she
ought to know.
This opinion of motorcycle riding,
however. is shared universally by girls
who have Joined the ranks of enthusi
aStic believers in OutOfdoors exercise
and recreation. Everywhere, in big
cities and small hamlets the. girl mo-
torcyclists are coming into their own.
True, most of them began on tandem,
but these rides were only lessons. Now
they have become expert riders them
selves.
It's fun-heaps Of ito ride a mo-
torcycle, says Miss Rosamond, but she's
only one girl out Of several hundred
who say the same thing

and Mathewson were as much-yes
even more-to blame than Merkle. He
was a raw recruit, in the big show for
the fist time He had come up TO one
of the craftiest managers and one Of
the best teams in the profession from
the then obscure Southern Michigan
league. Most of the season he had
spent on the bench, studying Fred
Tenney's style of play. When Tenneys
underpinning went to the bad the
Kid" was called upon Now, when
Merkle pulled his oversight Matty
was coaching at first base and Nc
Graw at third. When Bridwen went
to bat with two out, Merkle on first
and Mccormick on third, there was
idsntically the same situation as the
one at Pittsburg 10 days previously
when Johnny Evers and the Cubs tried
to win over the Pirates on the same
sort of technicality. Indeed, IL the
subsequent play had been rehearsed it
could not have been better played
into Chicago's hand.
Chicago Tips Its Mitt.
Chicago lost its protest over Pitts
burg's victory because Hank O Day
who was umpire in chief that day, had
failed to note whether or not the run
ner did touch second. Now, Chicago
had certainly tipped its mitt BY the
ruction it raised over Pittsburg's
triumph. W nat EACu5Es lAEA NOAA-
New York offer for not being on the
alert. Is il not reasonable to suppose
that the coachers, McGraw and Math-
ewson, were caught mapping just the
same as was Merkle? It is quite true
that the Giants were entitled to the
pennant save for, a little technicality
Yet technicalities have lost empires
as well as pennants and ball games
That was a painful afternoon for
McGraw, Mathewson. the Giants and
in particular Fred Merkle. Yet in the
case of MerlSle IL perhaps was one OF
those rare blessings in disguise; Nc
Graw stuck by the boy and gave him
every announcement. And Merkle
understood that his chief was depend
ing upon him to make good in spite
of the crowd and wipe out the stigma
Of Giant carelessness. That one Ia
tai slipup has been a beacon to Fred
Merkle. 1t has fired his zeal when
ever II gave evidence Of tagging so
far as he is concerned, perhaps It
was well that he did neglect to touch
second. The pennant Of 1908 is Of lit
tie concern to the champions of 1912.
And you may bet that Merkle nor
any of McGraw's disciples will repeat
such neglect in the world series bat
ties this fall.

head of this young gentleman after
he failed to touch second base in that
memorable game of 1852. I'll tell
you. Not one in 10, no, not on in so.
You cannot find many better first
baSemen today than Merkle- Why
Simply because he realized his mistake
and decided TO live il down by deeds
of worth. He didn't sUlk. He didn't
SLOUGH He held high head and kept
a stiff upper lip. And instead Of Wor-
rying over that one mistake as most
fellows would have done, he profited
by his experience and let it stand as
a warning. His game improved. He
was a far better first baseman in 1908
than in 1908; far better still in 1910.
This year he Is among the best in the
game. I take my hat off to Merkle-
He's the proper stuff He'll be better
still in 1913"
And Tom Lynch knows.
Tom Lynch comes pretty near to
knowing what he's talking about be-
fore he ever expresses himself It is
very doubtful If there is a first base
man in the game more valuable than
Fred Merkle. There are flasher play
ers- Hal Chase and Jake Daubert,
possessing more natural advantages in
that they throw left handed, appear
4 bit more graceful, perhaps Yet
1t is doubtful if either has anything
on the Giant as a fielder Merkle is
not SNOWY. But he is wonderfully sure
and as expert in making pickups off
mean Founders as ever the great Chase
He covers as much ground as Hal, is
as skillful a base runner and a more
dangerous hitter He is a trifle less
agile and cannot go so high for strong
arm pegs, nor is he 50 deXterous with
the mitt hand. But Mer6le is the only
right handed first baseman who can
break up d sacrifice hit play almost
as cunningly as either Chase or Dau-
bert.
No one versed in baseball viii deny
that Merlzle ranks among the first
three basebalTs first base guardians.
That is an honor indeed for a young
ster that the fans were trying to hound
back to the brush four short summers
ago. But then he was unfortunate;
simply the victim of circumstances.
Had Mike Donlin, Arthur Devlin or
the great Matty been on first when Al
Bridwel knocked out the clean single
that should have won the game, lit
tie would have been thought of the
veterans oversight. The fact that it
was a recruit gave the knockers a
chance. Or If New York had won the
play off with the Cubs, as they should,
Merkle's lot would not have been so
hard in 1903.
As a matter of fact, both McGraw
