GETS WORD
FROM MARQUARD
Rube Sure to Report March u, but
will Need Extra Training
on Road.

Marlin, Tex. March IA letter from
"Rube" Marouard to one of the Giants
to-day confirms the telegram that NC
Graw received from the great southpa"
pitcher, saying that he would report on
March q As the Giants leave the train
ing camp on the I'd. Rube will have to
put in extra time on the road to get
into condition.
1t is said that McGraw feels that Mar
guard has been influenced by some OF
his friends to take advantage of the
excellent opportunity to get free adver-
tising and that the Giants manager will
not let Marquard's actions OF the past
few months influence him In the least
when the pitcher arrives in camp. The
Giants feel certain that with Rube in the
lineup they can capture another pen
nant this year.

Manager Griffith has put his foot down

Pacific Coast with the Los Angeles
club last season. from which team he
was drafted, may give Morgan and
Laportei a stiff rub for keystone sack
honors. Gedeon il q vicious hitter and
covers q lot Of ground. He stands six
feet. weighs 1s5 pounds. and hts record
here UP to Thursday was the breaking
Of four bats.
Gedeon was drafted upon the recon-
mendation of Manager Grifith's brother
in-law, Frank Dillon, who owns the Los
Angeles club Of the Pacific Coast League.
Victor Bickers. the mammoth Buffalo
semi-pro twirier. seems to have learned
smoother style OF delivery than was ap-
parent when he first worked out In the
Y. n. c. A. gym In the Capital. Griff
pitcher Bickers is. as the youngster has
had little chance to show what he can
do in this respect.
GrifYs idea in working his regulars
slowly the first week Is the fear OF
charley horse, or muscle injuries, which
often handicap a veteran In the spring
TO such an extent that he does not get
into condition for month or so: conse-
quently the Old Fox watches over his
first string players like q hen with
brood of young chicks. The first day In
Charlottesville he only allowed fifteen
minutes Of fielding practice, and the
pitchers were not permitted to even warm
up with a catcher.
Jack Erhard, the former Columbia
University infielder. who trained In At
lanta with the New York Americans last
spring. but who was released before the
season opened, is out for the second
base job with the Nationals. He has
the undcrhand snap throw down to per-
fection. and his line drives on Pitchers
Dent. Sullivan, and Bickers proved one
Of the features of the matinee.
The Nationals are better taken caro-
of here this spring than last March.

New York. March 7.-Enrico, Caruso,
tenor Of the Metropolitan Opera Com
pany. appeared In the County Court in
Brooklyn to-day as q witness against
Antonio Irncotti, charged with attempted
extortion from the singer. The events
which led to the present action occurred
three years ago. when Caruso received
two letters demanding that he place an
envelope containing $4,000 at a certain
spot in Brooklyn, under penalty Of death.
A dummy letter with a marked bill
was placed at the mark designated. and
Antonio Misieni and Antonio Irncotti
were arrested when they went for the
money. A third man escaped. Misieni
was convicted and sentenced to seven
years and six months. He appealed, was
released on bail. and decamped.
Caruso was attired in a gray suit with
a cutaway coat. gray hat. and patent
leather shoes. with gray cloth tops.
While waiting for the case to be called,
he amused spectators close to him by
drawing caricatures Of himself.

enter professional baseball in the West
ern league. He has signed to play

became acquainted with Sheldon. whose
home is in that city. lsbell believes
he has one of the finds" of the sea-
son.
Sheldon will be remembered by his
brilliant record in Southern football
As halfback he was one Of the Tigers
best in 1912, and had he been content
with amateur fame he would probably
have been well up in the all Southern
list before his career ended Sheldon
was one Of the best athletes at Sc
vance and a man Of eyer-nagging
energy and pep
