M 4: Sliding Back
Days Of Heroisnn Over
BY SAM CRANE

one short year often makes a big
difference in the prospects, reputation
and standing of ball player
1t was only IL months ago that
Rube Marquard had pretty near the
center of the baseball stage, and his
name took up much space in big,
broad letters on headlines in the
sporting pages of the newspapers.
What he would do or would not do
was heralded broadcast, and there
was at that time terrible agitation
Tor fear that he might adopt the
"stoige" permanently and leave base
ball.
Immediately after the worlds Sc
ries of 1912 was finished Rube and his
present wife started out on a vaude-
Vile engagement that took in the
country from east to west. Rube had
won two games in the series between
the Giants and Boston Red Sox for
the championship of the universe,
and he had also during the National
league season won 10 straight games,
tieing the pitching record of consecu-
tive wins
Local fans predicted all sorts of
dire disaster for the Giants unless
the clan McGraw.
HAD A GOOD PRESS AGENT
RUDE had good press agent, who
Kept the wires redhot telling about
how good and great a pitcher Mar
guard was and how poor a manager
McGraw was. Fans got wild eyed
over the controversy between the
manager and the pitcher. Both were
in vaudeville and doubtless both de-
sired some benefit from the advertis-
ing they received-but it can be said
and pertinently so. that RUDE needed
the advertising, while McGraw did
not. consequently RUDE did all the
skyhigh flying.
When. in March last year, the news
arrived that Marquard had decided to
live up to his contract and play with
the Giants again, a sigh of relief went
like the blowing of the wind that
shoots, scoots and whistles around the
Flatiron building on a stormy day.
1t was fondly imagined that the
success of the Giants. their ability to
win the National league pennant,
again depended entirely on Marquard
rejoining the team.
There were not a few of the Giants
themselves who imagined the same
thing, and there was much rejoicing
in the Marlin training camp when the
news was received from Scout Dick
Kinsella that RUDE had announced his
intention of coming back.
But neither the fortunes of the
Giants. the New York club, the Ma

tional league nor the great national
game appear to hinge on what Mar
guard will do next year. On the con-
anxious seat.
That it is the intention of McGraw
to trade Vanguard to the Boston
Nationals for Pitcher Tyler, also a
southpaw twirler, is the general be-
lief, although the prospective deal
has not been authoritatively an
nounced- But it is on tap nevertie-
less.
And one short year has caused
Marquard to lose the great prestige
as an invaluable pitcher.
There are some who think that IL
Marquard had joined the Giants in
Marlin and had the advantage to be
gained by the spring training he
would have been the same winning
pitcher he was in 1912
l am one who is of that opinion.

players were on their way north.
Houston. Tex, and he pitched very
little on the way home. He had to
get into shape in one day stands,
and, although he tried hard and con-
scientiously 10 train himself, concis
tions and circums tances were against
uiil, anu When the championship" sea
son started he was far from being in
his true form. He might have thought
he was, but McGraw knew he was
not .
Marquard had no more. chance to
duplicate his by-record Of 1912 than
| had or the druggist from Orange,
who had been frequently taken fer

ing exercise before games at the Polo
grounds.
THROUGH WITH GIANTS :.
1t was lack of spring training that
put RUDE on the back trail. He
imagined he was as good as he ever
was. He had the same confidence in
himself as when he was primed to
the pitching top notch. but he was
fooled, as many athletes have been
before him. He overestimated his
ability. his strength and his stamina
He was not the same Rube whot had
won 10 straight.
The recent worlds series settled
Marquard with McGraw. And ] have
the idea that it was his garrulous
writing about the worlds series
games that had as much to do with
McGraw's decision to trade him as
his poor showing in the box.
The trouble with the baseball writ
ers who dictate their stories is that
they fail to duly appreciate how mere
words, dictated Immediately after a
game when they are so worked UP at
heart and in spirit will look In cold
type.
