Marquard has the best and most
deceiving motion before delivering
the ball of anybody in the big
leagues, l think
Marquard also has a lot of con-
fdence now. 1t used to be that he
couldn't even pitch to batters at
practice in the morning. They used
to kick and holler and say:
Here's that Rube again; we're
going to get beaned"
Josh Devore. who doesn't like
left handed pitcher, would throw
away his bat and try to duck And
the boys would bawl Marquard out
which didn't help him any Of
course.
But now he's got confidence in
himself, and he's got all the fellows
pulling for him, and we'd rather
have him than any one else sery-

Maty Is Greatest Of All Pitchers---Chief Meyers
His Fine Control Makes Catching a Delight"

reverses itself with the reverse
English" of pool or billiard balD
and falls down and away from the
batter.
Summing up a comment Of Mat
ty, the Old Master, l would say that
he is the greatest of all because of
these reasons: His curves, his fade
away. his common sense in not
working too hard when he doesn't
have to, and, above all, his superb
control.
l am coming next to a speed
pitcher-Rube Marquard. But be-
fore we get to him l want to say a
word about another man who has
thrown, in my belief, the fastest
balls that ever crossed a plate. l
don't except Rusie or any of the
other old timers who were sup
posed to serve very smoky balls.
1 refer to Walter Johnson, now with
the Washington club of the Ameri-
can league 1t may be news to
some fans that l used to catch him.
We had an exhibition series in
California few years ago-All Ma
donals versus All Americans-and
Walter and l were the battery for
the Nationals. The way that boy
could throw! Why, after handling
him I'd almost be willing to do the
circus stunt of catching the cannon
ball shot out of the big gun with
nothing on but my old mitt l think
Johnson Is the speediest pitcher
that ever tossed one up to the plate.
The palm of my mitt hand used to
be red and sore from taking h IS fast
ones.
Marquard Improving Steadily.
But we are talking of Marquard
now, whom I know better and more
recently There is a young fellow
who has made worlds record for
consecutive victories, and who is
getting better all the time. | think
can tell something about the Rube
which even the baseball experts do
not know-the principal reason Why
he can fool so many batters and
win so many games
He has speed, of course; that's
one of his big assets. And he has
mighty good curves And recently
he has splendid control But to my
mind, the Rube's one big winning
play is his "wind-up," or motion"
as we call it.
He has long swing, from which
all of sudden, the ball snaps out

But that was before Rudolph
Waldorf broke into baseball.
Now If the said Rudolph ever
gets one fair wallop at that ball
and starts it for the bull, the ami
NAL will shortly be minus a rib.
Never before has there been such
a walloper on the Atlanta club.
The big guy stands way over six
feet tall and must weigh along to-
ward 200 pounds He takes one
of those wind mill wallops at the
pill And when he hits it the ball
1attens out-but it goes a mile.
Yesterday in batting practice
Waldorf batted everything that
came his way. A couple of wallops
he bounced off the back fence for
sure home runs A half dozen more
were long enough for three bag
gers dozen were good for two
baggers And he didn't hit any
singles.
Mark this prediction-that big
bully is going to knock three home
runs in the first game he finds a
pitcher to his liking

litue good-natured kidding on the

A LPERMAN is making no an
: nouncements about the players
he is after, but it is strongly sus-
pected that he needs pitchers.
When club is batting hard and
yet is losing games steadily the
pitchers are usually at fault. OF
course, in this case the Crackers
aren't altogether to blame, For
they have the unhappy faculty Of
making more hits for less runs
than any team that has played here
in a long time. This has been
partly due to slowness and bad
judgment on bases partly to hard
luck However there have been
peck of games this season when
the Crackers have made from two
to six runs before the other team
even got started-and then lost.
And that has been because of
weakness in the pitching staff

the staff has been so erratic of late
