FLYER WRECKED AT RIvERDALE
Train Entered Open Switch but Pas
sengers Escaped Injury.

The passengers on the Pere Mar
quette flyer to Grand Rapids had a
narrow escape Wednesday afternoon
when the train entered an open switch
at Riverdale and collided with string
of freight cars. Two passengers were
slightly injured and all were severely
shaken up The engine of the passen-
ger train was disabled and several
freight cars were wrecked.
1t is believed the switch was opened
by tramps who were seen about the
place earlier in the day. A first it
was thought a local freight crew
which set several cars off at this point
might have neglected to close the
switch, but investigation developed
that the crew had used the switch at
the other end of the siding and had
not touched the one through which the
passenger train was guided upon the
siding.

Has Been a Lemon" Great
TwirIer and Contract
Jumper In Fans Eyes.
NO-HIT GAME.
Starts Season AS If He
Again Had Regained His
Old Time Form.

Richard w. (Rube) Marquard has
I had a remarkable career as mem
Der of the New York Giants. From
the time he Joined the team in 1905.
having been purchased from Indlanap-
oils for $1,000, until recently when
che pitched probably the most brilliant
game of his many unusual perform
ances, he has been before the eyes of
I the fans" as lemon" as a twirIer
OF exceptional merit ard as contract
d Jumper.
Marquard started his baseball voca-
ton at Canton, Ohio, in 1907. where
his work attracted the indianapolis
managers. They purchased him and
he continued at such fast clip that
John McGraw willingly parted with
81, 900 to make him a member of the
team. This was in 1908, and for three
years Marquard sat on the Giants
Y bench, never getting chance 20 show
his worth and learning TO the fuliness
sfMcGraw baseball. He was so obscure
that when he was referred 20 at all
I he was called al 900 lemon.
y 1t was not until 1912 that Marquard
received the plaudts of the fans"
He pitched and won his first game
that season on April IL. and it was
not until July 3 that he fost con
! test, being beaten on that day by the
Cubs, after having compiled a pitch
ing record of ninetsen straight vic
tories, SURPRISING any similar achieve
hment in the history of the game.
Marquard was at the top OF his ef-
fectiveness in 1912, winning % games
and losing IL during the season. and
helping materially in winning the pen
nant for the Giants. In the worlds
series with the Red Sox, WHICH the
latter team won, Marquard captured
i of the 8 victories credited to the
Giants.
In 1913 Marquard was power of
the Giants staff again, and was on the
way to a big year in 1914 when hn
was overtaken by misfortune after
misfortune, which cost him victory al
ter victory and lost him the conf
dence of the fans" On july II. at
Pittsburgh last year, Marquard defeat
ed the Pirates 2 to l, in a 21-innins
game, which was the longest contest
pittsburgh scored in the first inning
reach the plate afterward. This was
Marquard's turning point in the last
campaign. for after that he dropped
eleven struggles In a row.
During the last winter Marquard
jumped to the Brooklyn Feds, accept
ed $500 advance money, and tried
Giants. He escaped trouble on TINS
account only because the Federal lead
ers were liberal and allowed him to
reJoin the Giants.
His no-hit game undoubtedly was
his test, for there were few of the

Mr.. Vale declares that we have
here the most wonderful young tennis

that America lost the Davis Cup SOLE

lacking in knowledge OF true form
and OF the technique of the game. 1t
is limited that he might place his own
extraordinary knowledge of the game
ut the disposal of America. and to this
end would appear before our univer-

a result of the tour OF competition of
