Marshall stands s feet 8 inches
when he isn't sitting and wears
q No. IL shoe that he waggIes
with . peculiar motion when he
stands In the batting box. That,
they claim, is very funny.
The story is related that Rubt
took part in a pitching duel one
day in which he drove in his
teams only run. The game went
into extra innings with the score
IL, and in the eleventh stanza IL
was the Rube's turn to bat, with
two out and the winning run on sec.
ond base.
He went striding to the plate. con
fident that he would make another
hit and break up the game, when
he was surprised to hear the man,
ager calling for him to come back
and allow so-and.so to bat for him
Rube was terribly hurt. He had
driven in the clubs lone run and
had held the opposition to one tally
through IL hard innings.
Rube argued and raved and
ranted, All to no avail. The
pinch-hitter was posed in the
batting box and was all set,
Suddenly Rube turned around,
held up his hand and rOared for
the ump to call time. Accom-
plishing that. he walked solemn.
" across the infield and out
through centerfield.
Arriving at the scoreboard, he
climbed the framework, unlocked
the figure one from the inning in
which his team scored and walked
off the field with the numeral tucked

NEW YORK, Dec. 7.-Ty Cobb
and Iris Speaker may be all the
world to some managers, but they're
just couple Of ball players to John
j. McGraw of the New York Giants.
In stating that the Giants are not
seriously interested in either player,
McGraw questioned their value as
drawing cards and expressed doubt
that their acquisition would
strengthen the New York team.
McGraw added that inasmuch as
Cobb still belongs to the Athletics
and Speaker is the property of the
Washington club, he did not think
it advisable to talk business with
either Of them until they were free
agents.
Dame rumOr has Il that both
players will cavOrt in new pas
lures next season.
''I doubt that they would still be
big drawing cards if let out by the
American League" McGraw said.
1t is also doubtful whether their
playing ability would strengthen US
and in any event l do not believe we
could afford to pay the salaries they
would ask"
McGraw announced that the
Giants reserve list includes forty
players, including eighteen pitchers.
The pitchers will report at Hot

With Scott and Fishwick on the

Quarter was exceptionally good in
