Marlin. Tex, March 7.-Rube Schauer
stepped boldly into the front ranks Of
the sluggers this afternoon, and made
an enemy by doing it. Rube hit the left
centre field fence with. line drive and
made a home run. with his old pal and
partner, Ferdie Schupp, in the box.
4 IL is well known 10 all fans that these
sibilant twins are generally com
penions IN misfortune on the Polo
/ Grounds during the playing season.
When one starts the game the other
generally finishes il. So too, when one
il sent in to finish he generally passes
the buck to the other. But all that is
passed now Schupp will not help
Schauer out this summer. He said so
to-day.
Rube's wsllop was the clinching ar
gument in the game between the worries
and the Concretes, which was won by
the former at a score Of TO / Schauer
and Schupp were chosen as captains be-
cause they both wear the same sized
/ hets-6is. II was an affair Of the
youngsters. for the most part, and the
veterans looked on IN dignlfed silence
or else played the bunting game.
Ralph Sharman, the leading slugger
OF the Ohio State League, IS making ms
presence felt. and he got two blows IN
the game to-day. They were both OF
the convincing order. lie Is heldlng
nicely and has a good throwing arm. An
infected foot has prevented him from
showing any marked speed on the
bases, but he goes about his WORK IN an
uncomplaining manner, and IS wei!
liked by McGraw.
Joe Rodriguez. the Cuban speed boy,
is there with the goods, too. Joe IS
eettine his eve on the ball nov, and
banged out another triple this after
noon. II this keeps up Palmero may
have a chance to practise Spanish dur
ing the season.
Schauer was not the only home ~un
hitter during the afternoon. In the
third inning Fred Brainerd bounced one
of the centrefeld fence and was taking
MS cup Of water before the ball was
felded back again. Jim Thorpe got two
hits for himself, double OF Scnauer
and a single of Bill Ritter. + r sny
other man on the team Jim's double
would have been q long single, but no"
that Irish Indian ran when he got on
the lines,
The team rs lined up WAS as follows;

One Of the features Of the afternoon
practice was wrestling match IN
which JEFF Tesreau tried TO down Chr
ley Doom and Bill Rariden at me same
time. lie almost succeeded, at that.
In the morning the pitchers had a
long drill in fielding hunts, and both
infelds worked out well.
Hans Lobert had a narrow escape
from accident in the practice ms
morning. A batted ball took bad
bound and struck him on the forehead
breaking the skin and raisin" bump
the size Of an orange. Hans was badly
dazed for a white, but continued his
practice.
Ralph Sharnan has every earmark o.
a coming star. lie stings the old leath-
er with might and main, and has
free. natural swing that marks the
born ball player. lie hit .374 with the
Portsmouth team, Of the Ohio State
League. last year and led the circuit
with something 70 spare.
The more we see Jim Thorpe IN &C
ttion the more we are convinced that
the Amateur Athletic Union was IN
error when il declared him profess
sional. Jim could get the salary OF
Cobb and he'd still be an amateur.
McGraw has made another request
20 Roesiuger 70 leave camp quietly.
"You don't want to stay here and have
these fellows laughing at you said
Mac. in his friendliest spirit. Rosie
would have none Of it. I'm there,
Mac. III show them il | get a chance
! haven't rounded 20 my best form yet,
but I'm there all right he declared
Hank Pallmero. the Cuban wonder, Is
banking on making the team this year.
Palmero is bigger and heavier than he
ever was before. and his pitching has
improved with his strength. McGraw
likes his notions this spring and be
leves that he will I'll the shoes Of Rube
Marquard nicely.
Lobert is not only nursing n bumped
upper head. but n pair OF sore legs as
well. He went q little too strong IN
the fielding practice and is paying the
