Richard w. Marquard has had a
remarkable career as member Of
the National league.
From the time he joined the New
York Giants in 1909, having been
purchased from indianapolis for
$1,000, until the opening day when
he pitched probably the most bril-
liant' game Of his many unusual per-
formances, he has been before the
eyes Of the fans as lemon, as a
twirler Of exceptional merit, as a
contract jumper, and next, probably,
as a soldier. For the RUDE was I'M
successful in his effort to obtain a
deferred draft classification and viii
likely be included in the fall call.
MarQuard started his baseball ca
reer at Canton, o.. 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
$1,000 to make him a member Of
the team.
For three years Vanguard sat on
the New York bench, never getting
a chance to show his worth and
learning to the fullness McGraw
baseball. He was so Obscure that
when he was referred to at all he
was called the "$11, 900 lemon"
1t was not until 1912 that Mar
guard received the plaudits OF the
fans. He pitched and won his first
game that season on April IL and it
was not until July that he lost a
contest, being beaten on that day
by the Cubs, after having compiled
a pitching record Of nineteen straight
victories.
Vanguard was at the top of his
effectiveness in 1919. winning TWEEN
ty-three games and losing twelve
during the season. The Giants won
the championship and in the worlds
series with the Rcd Sox, which the
latter won, Vanguard captured two
of the three Victopies credited to
McGraw's men.
In 1913 Marquard again was a
tower of strength Of the Giants
staff and was on his way to another
successful season in 1914 when mis-
fortune after misfortune overlook
him, causing him to lose game after
game, as well as the confidence Of
the fans.
One Of Marquard's most note
worthy accomplishments was a 2 to
victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates
in a battle that lasted twenty one
innings, the longest game in the his
tory Of the National league. Pitts
'burgh scored in the first inning of
that game, but was never able to
reach the plate afterward.
When the Federal league entered
the field Marquard jumped to the
Brooklyn outlaws, accepting $500
advance money and tried to repudi-
ate his contract with the Giants. He
escaped trouble on this account only
because the Federal leaguers were
liberal and allowed him to rejoin the
Giants.
It wasn't long after this incident
that McGraw peddled the big south
paw to the Brooklyn Nationals,
where under the guidance Of Will
bert Robinson, who really brought
him out as a Giant, Vanguard has
proved steady winner.

President Stub took the position
that the name of the organization,
1.-THE Norwegian Lutheran Church

name, and he pointed out that many
CONGREGATIONS are exclusively Eng

He also pointed out that other syn

the need Of bringing up and giving
children and youth the benefits OF

President Stub devotes some atten-
ton to the question of pastoral re-
lationships. and advises against too
speedy and forced union of congrega-
tons under the amalgamation plan.
Neither should the pastor stand In
the way of larger efficiency, that
may be brought about here and there.
1t is tle duty Of the pastor, said
President Stub. to advise with his
congregation when he receives a call
for army chaplain, army pastor, or
whatever the work. The congrega-
ton has a right to expect this con-
siderauon, on the part of the pas
tor. He advised congregations not to
demand trial sermons of men, for
often this results in a congregation
getting a man 1t should not have,
while it is often humiliating for the
candidates. He declared the calling
Of new pastor a sacred thing, and
declared that it should be carried out
in dignity and order, advising against
un-Lutheran usage and practice.
President Stub declared loyalty a
basic principle OF the Lutheran
church, with obedience to constitut-
ed authority one OF the church's
foundation rocks.
Just because we are loyal, we
obey such instructions as may seem
unreasonable. For instance. that we
cannot preach in any language but
English. This has worked a hard
ship in some places. and it might be
advisable to seek a modification of
such rulings. for instance, in the
