In about the eighth inning Jack got

forget the name" Don't you quit now

Jack didn't quit: he retired, the side
without a run scoring.
The Ifishman smiled brightly "Ah
ye can't put us Quinns down" And
then apologetically he turned to his
neighbors in the stands and remarked

Reuben LIE Marquis.

Reuben Marquard OF the Brooklyns Is
properly speaking Richard LIE Marquis.
He got the MArquard in a peculiar way.
When just a kid OF 16 young lie Mar
quls used to fool around the Cleveland
ball club, and was actually given a
tryout by the old Maps. A Cleveland
reporter asked Rube what his name was
and he told him lie Marquis.
Either the reporter couldn't read his
notes or he didn't like the name Of La
Marquis, for the next day he had an
article In the paper that the young
pitcher working out with the Clevelands
was Dick Marquard, a Cleveland school,
boy.
Mafquard was good enough for Rube
and he took the name with him TO the
American Association and then on to the
Giants. The Rube was fastened on TO
him because he Is left handed. During
the era Of RUDE waddell the name Rube
Invariably was attached TO all left
handed pitchers.

Phillies once had pitcher Kane, who
was born into the world a Coin.
In the spring Of 1905 there was lit
tie thin faced lad by the name of Nc
Ghee, who went South with the Phila-
delphia Nationals. He was q peppery
busher. but didn't look exactly like
McGhee. He was too light for the big
leagues and dropped out OF sight after
the ouakers returned home. But when
Charley Herrog appeared with the
Giants In 1908 Philadelphia players re-

tion. The Phillies that spring were an
Irish aggregation. Hushie bury was

and Mickey poolan the shortstop Nc
Qhee matched that combination better
than Herzos.
Occasionally there Is a case Of a
player who finds his last name irksome
ana juet goes under his FIRST name. Such
q player was Charles, who about ten
years ago was the regular second base
man OF the st. Louis Nationals.
One day the Cardinals were playing
on the Polo Grounds and Pennsylvania
Dutchnan who had made sundry stops
on his way north annoyed fans next to
him by the righteousness OF his roofing
IN behalf Of the st. Louis team.
When Charles came up TO bat he
threw all restraint to the winds. 'NCome
on. Aschenbach. you old boy. Come on,
Aschie. hit II out for old Easton's sake"
Charles was then discovered. He was
really Charles Aschenbach Of Easton,
Pa
Lee Masee. who played second base
for the Cardinals II few years after
Aschenbach passed out of the majors
had a name that would have made a
good running mate for the Teutonic
monaker Of Aschenbsch. When Lee fret
attended school In Cincinnati and the
schcolmam asked him who he was he
replied 'Leopold Hcernschmeyer." Put
like Herzos. Lee thought Masee was a
better name to play ball under. How
ever. where "Eferzy" was only McGhee
for a spring, Hoernschmeyer is Magee
for life. and all his progeny will go
down to posterity as Magees.
Lee asked waivers on the Hoernsch-
meyer even before we got into the war.
Lee married a Cincinnati girl of Irish
extraction and he couldn't ask her to be
Mrs. Hoernschrieyer. So a day before
the wedding Ne took his name into court
and had II officially translated into
Magee.
we tell no secrets when we print that
Jack Quinn, the Yankee pitcher, in
private life Is John Picus. Picus Is of
Polish extraction and halls from the
hard coal region OF Pennsylvania How
those boys do like Irish names!
While II Is true that many fans know
that Jack Quinn is an Irish transla ton
OF John Picus. all of them do not know
It. and therein lies a story.
It was during Jacks first engagement
with the Yankees In the old Hilltop
days. The Yanks were going pretty
good. and SO was Quinn. on a summer
afternoon the Yanks were having a
tough game with Detroit. then the cham
pions OF the league. II was a tight
game. and though they we're hitting Jack

aBY THE. SWEAT OF THE OTHnR
MANS BROW
Some years ago that militant Dem
ocrat, ex-senator Joe Bailey, declared
that the logical outcome of Democrat
lie pension schemes would be that ey-
eryone in the land would be drawing
a pension at the expense Of everyone
else. A plank in the platform Of the
British Labor party follows this line
closely. 1t proposes that minimum
income shall be provided for every
man, woman, and child in the country
to be paid by the naturalization Of
90 per. cent of all incomes, the SUN
so confscated to be placed in pool
devoted to the payment to everybody
iof a permanent weekly income Of nine
shillings. The American Federation
has such strong affinity for British
labor that it would not be surprising
if this project was preached in this
country ere long, and not limited to
I9 shillings either. II this scheme
were ever made effective, one half the
world would at least know that the
other half was living in idleness. and
the idle half would have amended the
biblical Injunction to read, "by the
sweat Of the other mans brow shall
eat my bread"

locals met their Waterloo for the first
time this season at the hands of the
Harrison County boys on the Gypsy
field. Our boys had hard trip to
make Saturday morning before the
game which weakened them some
what. Moreover Captain Robb Key
ser was missed in directing our team
and on defense as WELL The treat
ment received was good and our boys
feel that the best team won.
| The Grafton team will not appear
here Saturday as was scheduled but
the locals will go there instead. It
was imperative that Coach Colebank,
Of the Grafton team give his followers
another game as season tickets for
four games had been sold and only
three games played. AS this is their
last game the game had to be there.
We are sure our boys will put up a
good fight, even if another hard trip
must be made before the game. Some
of the boys are crippled but that will
be forgotten by the time the whistle
blows Saturday.
