Marquard’s New Curve.

Marquard has mastered that high drop that Christy Mathewson used so successfully for so many years. He only uses it in the pinches. He always raises on his toes, just as Matty did, when he throws it It starts as though it would pass the plate about teeth high, using the batter as the object to be passed. Then it starts to break about three feet in front of the plate, and it falls down across the plate a neat “strike.”
