ICHARD ". MARQUARD, like
most left handlers in a long list of
N note, is known as 'Rube," al
though off the field he resembles the
model about whom that little essay,
which appears in the theater program,
entitled What the Well Dressed Man
Should Wear" was written Marquard
is so excessively left handed that he
won 19 games in succession back in
1912 and then took two months getting
over it

Ono one has ever discovered what the
~" stands for, not even "Rube" him
self but, as we were saying, for two
years Richard w. Marquard was known
as the $1,000 lemon" It distinctly
proves he is not a piSer at heart be
cause he was no cheap lemon. The
explanation OF this title can be found
in the following paragraph.
When McGraW was shy Of pitchers IN
1905, he went searching for a star and
came across Richard W. Marquard out
in Indianapolis where he had been
fooling a whole lot of batters, so John
J. paid $1,000 for him. then an un-
heard of price for left handlers or right
either, for that matter. The big league
looked different to Richard W. Mar
guard somehow after his first glance

at il, and, for two years, he had great
difficulty in winning a ball game no
body being able TO convince him that
there was such thing as a plate on
the field. He could throw the ball
over first base or third base or even
the grandstand, and frequently did,
but not over the plate. Therefore,
some Grass reporter tackled the name
of the $1,000 lemon" to him. and it
stuck like an actor to a bank roll
All of a sudden Richard W. Marquard
began to pitch baseball one day, and
this led up to him winning 10 straight
which procedure was noised around
pretty generally. All the folks who
had been calling him the "s11, 200 lem
on" and urging that he be traded for a
bat bag, rapidly ducked behind the
scenes 10 change their makeups and
came back greeting him as Mr.. Rich
ard ". Marquard. He has been pitching
good baseball ever since.
Richard W. MarQuard claims to be
of French detraction. but this is doubt
ed by some because he was born IN
Cleveland, Ohio. However, he is doing
his best to conceal that fact now by
wearing silk shirts with his monogram
on the cuffs like a regular Big Town
boy. Richard is what is known as a

FORMING FOOTBALL

There is a lot Of snappy material for
football in FL Paso, but it will be some
time before a first class team or City
league can be developed to a point
where the game will become interest
ing to FL Paso lovers of sport The
movement to establish a permanent
football winter league in Ell Paso is
slow. because Of the lack of expert
basis.
Outside Of the FL Paso high school
eleven, which can be considered to play
good second rate ball, there is no grid
iron teams in or near FL PaSO, except
the Agricultural college, that is capa-
bic OF putting up a strong fight.
Several business men have declared
their intention of financially backing
a football league suitable for Ell IasO
during the winter months. Those now
engineering the proposition to organ
tze the league believe that 81 PasO ath-
letes are capable of putting one Of the
strongest teams in the southwest into
the field. provided they are trained By
competent coach.
Several members of the Alamogordo

Safest to Take Longer Club
By "Straight DriUe''

IN my experience watching various
classes of golfers in action for a
4 number of years. I feel that am
safe in saying that more than half of
the strokes lost were caused by taking
the eye off the ball or pressing with
a short club. I have already briefly
referred to the necessity OF keeping
the eye on the ball, and today will
consider this other important factor.
Nearly every golfer likes to equal
the performance of some other play
er who gets $50 and 10 yards with his
mashie or who takes out a Jigger or
midiron for well up to 200 yards.
There is q certain amount of foolish
pride in such performance, and the
effort to equal them leads to serious
difficulties.
We all know that the average play
CT Is short lar Ottener than up or over,
while the expert, amateur and pro-
fessional is always up and more
often just over the green than just

To follow matches between experts 1
remembered how It seemed to me that
nearly every approach was going TO
80 widely over the mark.
In golf as played by the average
player there are SO many elements
that tend to prevent the shot attain

to have the convenient margin of
