 A favorable western belt forecas. checked the buying early, but the de- tailed weather reports showing heayy rains in a number of dis tricts were followed by rather more active demand from shorts and local bulls. which sent the market about 407 poiats net higher later in the morning. Private estimates, pub lished just before midday, were fol- lowed by reactions of 6 or points.
 Trading was very quiet during the early afternoon, with prices ruling around last nights closing figures.
 The market closed steady. The range.

 The Hoosier. capital has among it's inmates a large percentage of Ger mans, and one of these was the base ball reporter on local paper Sec ing in Richard de Marquis d deScen- dant of that hatred people, the French. what did this CraSS and vulgar fel- low do but turn the aristocratic and high sounding Richard de Marquis into the plebeian Rube Marquard ? Believe us or not--declare if you will that the thing is unthnkable--b that is exactly what the writer chap did. And ever since Richard de Mar Guis has been Rubc Marquard, with such other addenda and persifage as has occurred from time to time to the ingenuity of the guys who tell us, in language more or less opaque, who won the game and why.
 In 1909 President Brush paid In dianapolis $11, 900 for Marquard. The Rube, who had performed such val orous deeds as a Hoosier, had noth- ing but his size to commend him as a Giant, and the Gotham fans, in unicorn, cried Sung" During his first two seasons in fast company Rube annexed only nine victories each win ming game costing the Giants well over a thousand beans.
 McGraw was not discouraged, how ever. and, under the careful coaching of Wilbert Robinson, now manager of the Superbas and then Giant coach. Marquard ceased to be the "$l1, ,O0O Lemon" and developed stellar talent. 1 His subsequent career has been just l Cne thing after another. In 1912 l he tied Tim Keefes record by win

Two success sive falls, both with the head lock and bar arm hold, spelled defeat for Sweet
 Although Ventres was victorious he by no means had an easy time. Time and again Sweet had him In precari- ous positions. Both men were in the pink of condition and neither shirked. Sweet weighed 152 pounds while Ventres tipped the scales at 14S. It took Nentres seventeen minutes and twenty seconds to throw his opponent the first time. while it was necessary tor him to go twenty eight minutes to do the trick again
 Louis Burdick of Berlin, and Will liam Bott of Terryville furnished one of the preliminaries, the former win ming two out of three. It was neces- sary to go the full three bouts before the winner couuld be decided.
 John Ventres and Charles Carlson opened the first bout. It was declared q tie after fifteen minutes of clever westling, neither man being able to down the other in the specified time.

Brooklyn. April 21.-The case of c. Napoleon Rucker. star southpaw of the Brooklyn Nationals, is one of the most remarkable paradoXes of the grand old game.'' He is undoubt- edly star, d fact which none will gainsay, and yet he loses more ire qucntly than he wins. Of course that does not mean that he has always been doing that, for a few years back Nap was bowling 'em over in Al fashion, and in 1908 he pitched a mo- hit, no-run game against the Boston Nationals. He was at the zenith of his career then, but since then he has run into misfortune and has seldom been able to show at his best. Nap was laid up last year with an affiiction of the gamo for almost the whole of the season. In the few games in which he did take part he was com pelled to use his head, being utterly unable to put anything on the ball. The fact that he won almost half of his games despite the handicap speaks volumes for his grit and gray mat ter. Nap is essaying d comeback" this season, and at the present time it looks as if he is going to make q success of it, too. He is getting lots for Brooklyn fandom is roofing harder for Nap, their idol, than they are for the team.

 BY GRAVY"
M. RICHARD de MARQUIS 26 YEARS
 OLD TOMORROW.
BY "GRAVY."

Although the Germans are now
 very prevalent in Americas national
 pastime, and a club of picked Teu- tons could probably put up a mighty
 good argument against the best that
 the Irish, English, French and other
 allies could get together, the sup
 porters of the Triple Entente can still
 find more or less consolation in the
 possession of M. Richard de Mar
 guard. Richard is of French dc
 scent and has all the temperamental
 attributes supposed to belong to his
 ancestral origin. The elongated Rube will be twenty six years old tomorrow, having been born in Cleve-
 land on the twenty y-second of April 1889
 And now permit us to*lift the cur tain from a deep and dark conspir- acy Richard de Marquis first ap- peared in the box score of pro- fessional baseball game back in 1907, when. at the tender age of eighteen he donned the uniform of the Can ton, O., Central league club. Rich ard, inspired by the doughty deeds of his great countrymen and fellow citizen, Napoleon Lajoie, had decided when only fifteen to shine as ball player. In Canton the lengthy lad did so well that he was taken over by the Indianapolis American asso-
