FAVOR MARQUARD
Indian Meyers Watned the
Rube to Pitch Today.
He Believes Giants VIII Beat
Indian Bender.

u
New York, Oct. 10.-Marquard is our
anchor to windward. We will be in
sorry plight if he does not stop .ne
Athletics at Shibe Park today L iooh
for the '-Rube'' to give very goou ac
count of himself. He was OH Color III
the opening game. I never saw maj
more serious in his intention to Wreak
vengeance on a Zoe imam ID 'iii'
left handler. 4
There is a possibility, of course, that
McGraw may decide on Al beEnaiee'
1 think, however, he Will gratl1y tiie
aspirations of Marquard. Our n'aha-
Ger has never been oVerstrong Tor IN
exnerienced men. He usually keeps
the recruits sitting on the beneh sea-
con or two before he gives them d
chance. Demaree has pitched WohuSi
full ball for US this season. put SO Iar
as worlds series competition IS ON
cerned he is absolutely untrled- ana
NC have too ocmuch untried timber
through force of circumstances TO pre-
sent our very best 'front.'
McGraw keeps his own counsel. ne
does not tell any of us what he lntenus
to do. But 1 am inclined to thlnk tnas
he will start Demaree only IN case oA
the most dire necessity.
The series has reached that acute
stage where it does not pay ellhei
manager to gamble on unknown quah-
titles For this reason I am sure Con-
ME Mack will come back at US with
Bender.
hone Bender does pitch today L
am sure we would square the series on
him. And we would have good olo
Matty to fall back upon for the leao
on Saturday. OF course Demaree
would not look bad to me either, for
he is an unusually cool and deliberate
boy and possesses one of the shreWd-
est heads in the game
Every worlds series somehow seems
| to uncover some phenom. Bape
| Adams blossomed out in 1910 ana
| Hugh Bedient last year. 1t may be
in the cards for Demaree to save us
| if given the opportunity. Some 1ntl-
mated to me after yesterdays game
that Bush had the usual mission. L
| would not detract one whit from TINS
young mans glory. The final score
| testifies to his worth. Still 1 do not
| think the game was fair test OF MS
ability. From the very start he en-
| loved a commanding lead He could
| afford to take chances. We had to go
| out for clusters of runs. One or Two
would have been absolutely no good.
| Fortified in this knowledge Bush was
able to frame his game aecord1ngly-
! That he did not enjoy the absolute
confidence of Connie Mack was snoWn
| by the frantic exercises of the rellet
| brigade every time Bush got into a
| tight place.
| Tesreau disappointed US. We had

Quakers. They hit littl eelse that Big
jeff offered. His fast ball puzzien
| Connie Mack's men and on the few
| occasions when he offered slow one
the enemy was completely batied-
They seemed to lie in wait for that olo
splitter and to take toe hold every
time it came along. Which leads me
to believe that Tesreau was away OIL
his usual form, If the big fellow hao
been able to put half the stuff on the
ball which he showed at the Wlnoup
of the opening game he would never
have been bumped the way ne was III
the first two rounds
IT must be said for Tesreau that ne
was IN against terrific odds after the
| second inning But he finished strong
and game and if he gets another crack
Of the Athletics l am sure that he Will
square accounts. T
O11r hone rests with todays game.
