MARQUARD THE VICTIM
BY WILLIAM II. HANNA.

by WILLIAM II. HANNA.
At the Polo Grounds yesterday Rube
Marquard flung his gage into that histo-
ric ring for the first time since he be-
came Cincinnati Red The Rube still
can pitch with more than a little confu-
ton to whoever happens to be the assem-
bled enemy, but though he harassed the
Giants greatly for eight innings they
are playing a game hard to beat. and
they beat Marquard and other Rhine
landers by raking him for four hits and
two runs In the ninth inning. The
score was to 3.
The Queen City crowd played with
much more fight and fettle than on the
day before. They played WELL though
not as vigorous with the bat as the
Giants. Dhey let fly with a rally in the
fifth inning and took the lead, and held
It tenaciously. Among large portion.

IN the ninth worked the fans up to a
state of happy enthusiasm.
The Reds were quite set on winning.
Marquard quarrelled with Brennan over
called balls, and Pat Moran scolded the
big arbiter. Brennan had to bring
reproving forefinger into play more than
once. Marquard was prominent through
bis pitching ups and downs and hit Of

Reds stayed back for a double play
on Kelly. Kelly expired on a dribble

Giants until the third. In that inning
they extracted but one run from three
singles and sacrifice fly.
