American League Debut

Rube Marquard, famous southpaw
of National league fame, is to per-
form in the American league At
least Rube has high hopes of doing so.
1 bumped into Marquard at Tampa,
Fla, recently. He had just finished
pitching to the Washington batters
for about 20 minutes. Some of the
very good left handed batters of the
club were having trouble solving
Rube's assortment
AS matter of fact he looked
so good to Clark Griffith and Manager
Stanley Harris that it was definitely
decided to add him to the staff Of
twirlers provided he continued his
fine showing over the training season.
The day / saw Marquard in action
Walter Johnson suffered broken
bone in his left ankle. No doubt
that helped win him extra consider
alton.
Original High Priced Beauty
Marquard has been pitching big
league baseball almost as long as
Walter Johnson. He came to the
National league about the same time
Johnson made his debut in the
American.
For a couple of years Marquard
has been toiling in the minors. Last
season he managed and pitched for
Providence in the Eastern league.
1t will be recalled that he was
one of the original high priced minor
league stars. The New York club
paid something like $1,000 to the
Indianapolis club for Marquard, toss
ing in few extra players for good
measure.
That was a lot of money in those
days and "Rube" was much press
agented. He made bad start and
some of the critics were inclined to
refer to him as the $1,000 lemon
instead of beauty.
In 1915 he was the big sensation
of the National league, winning 10
straight games Under McGraw he
became one of the best southpaws
in the game.
Marquard feels that he has enough
stuff to win for the Washington club.
Possibly he has. However, it is a
habit of the veteran pitchers to
still believe in themselves, remember
ing only the days of their glory.
I umpired back of Marquard around
Cleveland before he went to the
minors and later to the majors.
Naturally I was surprised when
dropped in at the Washington camp
and saw "Rube' curving them over.
"I've been around to several of
the camps explained Marquard, "and,
after watching number of the young
southpaws in action, concluded l still
have enough stuff to win.
'Why, I have as much speed left
as some of these husky youngsters;
a better curve ball right now and
I always could get 'em over
Marquard will come in mighty handy
for the rather uncertain staff of
the Nationals, if he is as good as
he believes he is.

BRUNSWICK, Ga, March 80 o.
The little white ball, which sails
down the fairway and bounces on
the green with a peculiar aversion
to landing in an inviting cup, is
virtually the only amusement of
George F, Baker, one of the worlds
richest men.
He was 70 years old before golf
lured him within it's ranks. Once
claimed, however, he became a loyal
follower. Now at 81, Mr.. Baker gets
his thrill of the game by putting
on the green.
His enthusiasm is held in check
by physicians orders. Upon arriving
at Jekyl Island several weeks ago,
he constantly had to be restrained
from overriding himself" in his daily
routine of exercise, which in addition
to golf includes an automobile ride,
the club superintendent says.
Once Mr.. Baker followed Bobby
Jones around the White Sulphur
Springs course and at the conclusion
of the game posed with the Atlanta
champion, while o. B. Keeler, the golf
writer, "shot" them with a camera.
This photograph is one of the very
few, if not the only one, for which
he has posed lon a golf course.
Only once has he given public
interview 1t lasted just a few
minutes.

Including J. p. Morgan,
the banker probably has his most
complete seclusion of the year, as
no one is allowed to land there, except
by invitation. Issuance of the latter
is extremely rare and when Mr..
Baker recently became indisposed it
was only through much difficulty
that reports as to his condition could
be obtained.

In one game Marquard threw a
fast one in Frank Bakers groove .

Mathewson, under his name, told
why Marquard had pitched wrong to
Baker.

the Athletics, Mathewson, with two

TRAINING CAMPS

NEW YORK, March 80 (P.-With the
process of pruning their squads down
to normal size we'll under way, major
league pilots are shaping their courses
northward with one eye on the weather,
reports.
1t has been so warm throughout the
south during this springs conditioning
grind that the managers fear too sharp
a change in weather as the teams
travel their route northward will be
harmful to the athletes.
Major league teams are covering a
wide territory this week. They are
scattered from Texas to Florida, with
a few playing one-night stands in
Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee. The
Cubs and Pirates have joined the clubs
in Texas after doing their stuff in
California.
No serious casualties, other than an
injury to Walter Johnson have Grip
pied the teams from the start. "Old
Barney" impatiently awaits the knit
ting of a fractured bone in his leg and
will not be available until May.
Ty Cobb has been nursing an old
back injury but seems himself again,
while Iris Speakers sprained ankle
has not affected his batting eye any
way.
Johnny Mostil and Ross Young are
hospital cases, but neither has put on a
uniform this year. Mostil, it now de-
velops, may recover sufficiently from
self-inflicted wounds to return to the
White Sox lineup in May. Young prob
ably is lost to the Giants for the sea-
son.
The remaining, holdouts, Eddie
Roush, of the Giants. and Hugh Critz,
of the Reds. have relented sufficiently
to call off the argument by mail and
go into personal conference with their
managers.

temporary round brick structure, was
put up the next year on the site Of
the house wing, but the permanent
structure of this was not finished until
1911. Then came the great calamity,
one of the most disheartening which
the infant republic had ever suffered.
During the War of 1912 the British
captured Washington, burned the new
Capitol, the White House and other
public buildings. It seemed an al
most impossible task to President
Madison and his subordinates to re-
build the charred remnants Of the
government buildings. But a few
weeks later, Madison called congress
in special session, and as a result Of
its action the rebuilding Of the Cap
itol began.
BY 1S43. however, it was discovered
that the Capitol was already too
small! for the needs Of the govern
ment, and congress passed resolu-
ton providing for the enlargement of
the building by the addition of wing
ON the south side. Nothing was done
about the matter until 1850, when
Jefferson Davis, then senator from
Mississippi, requested an architect
named Robert Mills to submit plans
for the enlargement of the Capitol.
Mills specifications called for new
wings on the north and south and
in %hn nf hn ny.so
building. Davis succeeded in getting
through the senate an appropriation
of 100000 for each wing, but the
house reduced it to $4,000 for each
and arranged for competitive bidding
in the planning. The plans submitted
by 7. U. Walter of Philadelphia,
which We're especially favored by
President Willard Fillmore, were final
ly selected.
1t took more than six years for the
completion of the work, and during
that time it was discovered that the
original appropriation of $4,000 for
each wing would be decidedly insult
ficient. In fact. the total cost was
something over $S,0000OO. The new
house wing was occupied for the first
time December 16, 1857, but the SEN
ate did not move into it's wing until
January A, 1859. Now, after seventy
years, new wing is to be added to
the Capitol to give Brother Jonathan,
the lusty young giant among nations,
plenty of room in which to carry on
his affairs of state.

cient to accommodate three hundred
persons each; lobby or anteroom to
the latter; senate room of 1900
square feet area an ante-chamber;
IL rooms of 500 square feet each for
committee rooms and clerks offices.
1t will be a recommendation of any
plan If the central part of it may be
detached and erected for the present
with the appearance of complete
whole, and be capable of admitting
the additional parts in future, if they
shall be wanted. Drawings will be
expected of the ground plots, eleva-
tions of each front, and sections
through the building in such direc-
lions as may be necessary to explain
the internal structure: and an esti-
mate of the cubic feet Of brick work
composing the whole mass Of walls.
A fee Of $500 for designing ma
tional capitol would be looked upon
as a joke by architects of today, but
in the early days of the Republic that
sum was munificent one, indeed. At
any rate, 16 plans were submitted
as result of the advertisement in
the newspapers and they were sent
in by a few real architects, a few
craftsmen and by number of other
persons who were neither architects
or craftsmen, but to whom that $500
and the glory Of being the designer
of the government building were very
attractive. The architect whose plan
was accepted was Stephen Hallet of
Philadelphia, Frenchman. But he
was deprived of the honor by Gu
rious accident. Jonathan Trumbull,
the celebrated artist, had a friend,
DR.. William Thornton, of Philadel-
phia, whose hobby was that of ANA
teur drafting and who had won some
renown as a designer of the Phila-
delphia library. Trumbull suggested to
Thornton that he submit design for
the Capitol and send 1t to the Pres
ident. Washington preferred Thorn
tons plan to Hallet's, and although
the latter and his friends stirred up
considerable of row over the matter,
the doctors plan was finally ac-
copied.
The design by Doctor Thornton
called for domed rotunda, portico
and two wings. But funds were so
scarce when the young government
set out to build the Capitol. it was
decided to erect only the north wing
at first. 1t was this wing which was
completed in 1900 and into which
congress, the Supreme court and the
library were moved. "The Oven," a

Impure Blood Brings Age

Impurities seeping into the blood
