MARQUARD AND ALEXANDER IN
 EXCITING DUEL

New York June 23-Richard Marquard, the noted portside finger and Grover Cleveland Alexander, of ten alluded to as Alexander the Great because of his prowess on the firing line, tofled until dusk at the Polo Grounds yesterday without reaching a. verdict and setting up a record for the number of innings played in the National League.
 When the storm broke over the Brush Stadium in the ninth inning lies had, scored a run, and from the
 comparative ease with which the two
 great pitchers were turning back the
 opposing batters it didn't seem pos
 sible for either side to penetrate the defense at the home plate again, no matter how long the game went. The clash in every sense of the word was truly a remarkab1e pitch ers' battle between the Rube and the
 great hurler of the Phi1lies. In the matter of hits, Alexander had decid-
 edIyI the edge on the southpaw, but this was about all. Rube pitched at his best in the pinches, while after the first inning Alexander was never | in trouble. and was going strong when the game was halted on account of the storm.
 l The Giants attack on Alexander came in the first inning when the Nc Grawites evened up the score on a double and a single. Nary another l hit did the Giants make after this and only three more of them reach ed first base, two on free passes and another by being hit in the ribs by l one of Alexander's fast shoots.

JENNINGS HAS SPENT
 25 YEARS ON DIAMOND

Hughey Jennings, who holds the leash on the ferocious Tigers, had a little private celebration Wednesday. It was the 18th anniversary of his debut in professional baseball Jen- nings has spent a quarter of a, cen tury on the diamond, as player and pilot, and is now 45 years old and still we'll under the Os1er limit. Hughey. is a lawyer on the side, and when he quits the game will be in a position >to emulate John K. Tener, enter politics. go to Congress, and possibly take up his residence in the exec utive mansion in Harrisburg Jen- nings was born in Pennsylvania, and, although his summer address is De troit, he does his voting in William Penn's state
 It was on June 16, 1890, when he was 20 years old, that. Jennings broke into professional baseball. On that occasion he operated in right field for the Allentown, Pa, club, when in the Eastern Interstate League. His accomplishments were not particular ly brilliant nor full of promise. In four visits to the plate he got one hit, and that was about all he did do: Besides performing briefly with Al lentoWn, Hughey played with the Leighton semi-pro. club that year.
 Jennings started his sprofessi ona1 career in stirring times. The Broth erhood war was being waged, and the baseball world was 1n a state or up heaVa1. Besides the Players League which lasted only a, year, there were two old major circuits in existence, the National League and the Ameri- can Association. Hughey broke into the big show with the Louisville team of the latter organization in 1891. There was a, war on that year also, as the American Association had been overlook in the settlement of the difficulties between the National and Players Leagues.
 In Louisville Hughey played under the management of Jack Chapman, and the red-headed Pennsy1vanian made a. favorable impression. In 1892 2 l when the American Association drop | ped out and Louisville was admitted into the 12-c1ub National League Jen- nings continued to play shortstop for the CoIonels.

THORPE TURNED
 BACK TO GIANTS
 FROM JERSEY CITY

New York, June 2s.-Jim Thorpe is due back at the Polo Grounds any day this week. The Indian outfielder is about to be returned to the Giants by Jersey City, where he was sent last April. After a good start Jim has proved a cinch for any kind of curve pitching and, to cap the climax. the Indian injured his left kneeeap in Jer- sey City three weeks ago-not on the ball field, it is said.
 A week ago, at Syracuse, Thorpe fell again and hurt his knee This time it put him out for good and he was sent to New York for treatment He was hmping during practice yesterday and, with Joe Yeager playing a cork ing game in the outf1eld, there seems to be no need for Jersey City contin uing to pay half of Jina's $6, 900 sti- pend.

Players who jumped clubs in organ ized baseball to play in the Federal league are wondering what they will do when released by the outlaws. Con slider the cases of Hugh Bradley and Eddie Holly of the Pittsburgh Fed erals. They refused to join New Ha- ven of the Colonial league and were released. They have contracts with out the ten day clause and will take the matter to the courts.
 But even if they win a court vic tory they can recover salary only for the balance of this season, when their contracts expire. What will they do after that? They can't return to or ganized baseball and the Feds have cast them out. Holly was a, star for years in the International league and Bradley was utility infieIder with the Boston Red Sox. Incidentally this is one of the numerous instances in which Federal league players have refuS>d to be shunted to the Colon 1 ial league. Apparently they don't think much of the outlaw minor cir cult.
