MARQUARD NOW
WORRIES FANS

RUDE Marquard will have to take
a big brace II he is to be Of any
service to the Giants In the coming
worlds series. When the Reuben be-
gan to hit the slide, after the Cubs
stopped his famous winning streak
back in July, Il was only natural
that he should show some effect of
the strain he had been under while
compiling the record. But he has had
sufficient time to recover, and his
lack OF form is causing the Giants
followers no little cuneasinessi re-
garding the outcome sof the big
series.
or course. Tesreau is counted on
as the real hope when the Giants
and the Red Sox clash, and Matty,
too, is expected TO do his share, but
the services Of the big southpaw
are needed to battle against the ar
ray OF formidable twirlers the Red
Sox boast. Just what ails Marquard
is a mystery. Apparently he is suf-
fering from the iinks that has camp
cd on the trail of every pitcher who
ran up a string Of victories this
season, and there have been an I'M
usually large number.
johnson and Dubus have both suf-
fered like fate. Johnson is having
a hard time winning since the
Browns tripped him up ION his six
tecnth consecutive win. and Dubuc,
who was an enigma TO every team in
the Johnson circuit while running up
a string OF eleven triumphs, is meet
ing with reverses as frequent and
numerous as were his victories a
month ago. This also seems to be
the fate Of MarQuard.
McGraw thinks the tall southpaw
will have recovered his prowess in a
few weeks and Coach Robinson, who
deserves no little credit for putting
Rube on the road 10 fame, holds the
same opinion. Still they are at loss
to explain his long lapse from form
In his last seven starts Marquard
was taken out of the box five times.

CHESTER in TRI-
STATE LEAGUE

All doubt as to the Chester Club
being in the Tri-State League next
season has been set at rest when il
was learned that the bond required
70 bind the bargain had been sent TO
President Carpenter several weeks
ago
Every effort will be put forth to
place a club Ia the field that will
surely have a look-in on the bunting
at the end of the 1913 season. The
names Of the players that can be Sc
cured will be received in a few days
and the officials will begin at once TO
! lay plans for the opening of the sea-
son.
The home of the Club has not been
decided but Il is believed that Sew
enth and Pennell will be selected as
the permanent place for the National
pastime. Manager Weigand in
speaking of the plot of ground at this
section remarked that the average
fan does not care to see the ball lam
med over the fence and would far
rather see ball hit into the outficld
and the player have chance TO cap
turc the pill. With this end in view
the grounds at Seventh and Pennell
seem the best suited for park al
though il will take considerable to
place the grounds in shape, new
! bleachers, grandstand and fence
/ will of course need to be erected but
those who are backing the venture
confidently believe that the team will
be patronized and the debt soon wip-

VANDEVER
DECREED TO Be
THE WINNER

With Alex. Abrahams Of the Semi
Professional League presiding the
Observation-Disclosures protest was heard
in THE EVENING JOURNAL office
last evening A big crowd of follow
ers of each team was present and the
editorial rooms we're filled to their
capacity. President Abrahams, there
fore had his hands full keeping none
but officials of each team from speak
ing in the controversy.
At the start a Vandever man ques-
ton Mr.. Abraham's right to preside
over an All-Wilmington League meet
ing, and he was promptly notified that
he was on behalf of the local sport
Ing fraternity doing the league a
favor by presiding, as their president
Arthur G. Davies, of THE JOURNAL,
was away on his vacation and the
protest would have had to hold over
until his return had not Abrahams
consented to serve when asked to
preside After hearing and question
ing both sides, the president asked Mr..
O'Neal of Philadelphia, the. umpire,
numerous queries.
All evidence having been given the
board retired and returned with the
verdict that the umpires decision
would stand and that the game be
awarded to Vandever. The Highland
protest was based on crowd interfer-
ence and infraction of the rules gov
erning coaching. The manager and
captain of Highland claimed that the
crowd surged on the field in the ninth
inning after hit had been made and
that the throng interfered with the
players to such an extent that a play
at the plate which could have cut off
the winning run could not be per-
fected II was claimed, furthermore
that the player who brought in the
winning run was assisted up the line
by three or more coachers.
The umpire, who was secured from
Philadelphia to officiate, stated that
according to his opinion the crowd
was not on the field until the winning
run had crossed the plate, and that
there we're no extra coachers on the
third base line.
The board of arbitration, consist
ing OF Alex Abrahams, President Semi
Professional League, ]. x. Weaver OF
The Morning News, and II. j. Max
well of the Every Evening, based its
opinion largely on the statement OF
