RUDE MARQUARD
LOSES OLD MATE
John Tories Myers Is Rele-
gated to Ash Heap by
President Ebbets.

New York, sept 12.-Richard Mar
guard has exploded the long-standing
belief that much Of his success was
due 10 the steadying influences that
were supposed to emanate from the
massive form OF John Tories Meyers
former Giant, former Dodger and
present Boston Brave.
1t was generally thought that Mar
guard and Meyers were inseparable;
that the latter was essential to to the
formers welfare and in giving Off
icial credenee TO this accepted belief
both managers AIcGraw and Robinson
never worked Marquard without the
assisting hand Of the mission Indian.
Not until recently.
Then the chieftain was relegated to
the waste heap by manager Ebbets.
but almost Immediately retrieved by
George Stallings Of Boston. who at
the moment was in dire distress. Mar
guard was thus unceremoniously de-
prived Of the man who had been his
battery mate through several tur-
bulent diamond wars
But Richard never emitted even a
peep OF protest when the chief was
summarily dismissed.
When at the Polo Grounds young
Mack Wheat was assigned to catch
the slants OF the slender SouthpaW.
&c was thought by those who believed
they intimately knew Richard and his
temperamental ways that ne would
not appear at his best But Mar
guard surprised the wiseacres by
pitching coolly and calmly against the
Giants and holding them TO one lone
talley across nine frames
This performance 20 the knoW-it-
ais was convincing. but not wholly
satisfying They wanted more evil

few days later. when with the same

Fans Failed To

II THEIR in FL Paso there are very
few baseball fans, or if there is
- a large number they seem to be
very Indifferent to the success Of
baseball in FL Paso. judging from the

month the attendance at the games
has been very poor and league Off
cials are wondering Just where the
trouble lies, and are trying to remedy
IL. Certainly there is nothing wrong
with the class Of baseball as il is on
very rare occasions that better
standard Of the national pastime is
dished out in FL PasO than the games
Of the past few weeks.

Brother of Lightweight Star
Means to Win Family Title

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Nov 2.-Since
Richie Mitchell was handed k. o. by
Bennie Leonard some while back he
has made not the slightest stir In the
fight game. And now his young bro
ther, "Pinkey" Mitchell, seems ready
to take his place. "Pinkey' says that
there's going to be fight title in the
family after all.
Richie Mitchell was a. star of the
lightweight class, mentioned by many
as the American lightweight champ,
till the Leonard disaster, and "Pinkey"
shows promise of being as clever as
the older brother The younger Nit
chell has recently started his profess
sional career after making brilliant
record in the amateurs.
"Pinkey" Mitchell is exceptioally
thin at present and when he begins to
put on weight he should be real con-
tender in the lightweight class. He
is tall and rangy with good left hand
and is a hard hitter. That young Nit
chell is we'll thought Of hereabouts is
certain since ne is soon to be n,atched
with Red Dolan or some OF the other
better known lesser lights and he is
expected to rise as rapidly as did his
