RUBt MARQUARD IS
SIGNED BY FEO[RALS

New York, Dec. 4--Rube Mar
guard. the veteran left -handed pitch
er OF the New York Giants. signed
contract with Robert b. Ward. presi-
dent of tho Brooklyn Federais today.
Marauard's desertion of the Giants
was announced by the Federal chief
tain himself soon after the papers had
been legally approved. President
Ward stated that he had given the
erratic southpaw bonus OF $500
for signing. he would not name the
salary figures nor the life OF the docu-
ment.
President Harry n Hampstead Of
the Giants was completely thunder
struck with the announcement. Mar
guard is signed to a term contract
with the New York club. one sup
posedly of iron-clad strength as from
II the ten days option OF release
clause had been removed. This con-
tract was promulgated by President
Tener. of the National League. on
July ~. 1914.
Il cannot for the life of me believe
Marquard signed with Mr.. Ward" said
President Hampstead. Why If this
contract isn't binding no contract Ia
worth the paper it is written on. There
II absolutely no chance OF Maruuard
to play elsewhere. Why the fellow
must be mad IL he dickered else
where"
Later. after the Sun reporter had
satisfied himself of the truth OF Mr..
Hempsteads just claims upon Mar
guard for the seasons of 1915 and
1916, he interviewed Mr.. Ward.
II cannot believe that Marquard
would be guilty OF such an action"
said he. HE came to me the day be-
fore yesterday He said that he wish
ed to talk terms. that he had called
at the New York club Offices for an
advance of $500 in order to make
a payment on farm: that he had
been curtiy informed that his work
OF last season merited no such adj
vance. gave him the $500 as a
bonus when he signed with me to-
day, but he made the affidavit first,
