REMARKABLE WINNING STREAK OF MARQUARD

The winning streak of Rube Marquard of the New York Giants is not only a season’s sensation, but Is the cause of a lot of arguments—some of which can be settled by reference to the records, others which must be decided only In each fan’B own opinion. As the Rube approached the modern day records of Reulbach and Chesbro of 14 straight wins the delvers into the dope began to dig deeper for more ancient marks for him to shoot at. They discovered that Radbourne had won 18 straight for Providence in 1884, that Luby had won 20 for Chicago in 1890 and that McCormick in 1886 with Chicago had won 24 straight. So far as known that mark of McCormick’s is the premier feat in organized ball. Disputes as to the clear title Marquard holds to some of his victories

AROUND THE BASES

Frank Schulte’s homers are more timely this season than last. Some machines have tire trouble, but Harry Davis’ Cleveland team has first-base trouble. Eddie Siever, once a Detroit pitcher, is now an umpire in the Southern Michigan league. Baker and Cravath are doing more to distribute leather to far-away points than all the big Philadelphia factories combined. *• Eddie Plank of the champions is in great form. He believes that he will get another chance to trim the Giants In the fall. The Detroit club has purchased a shortstop from the Hannibal club of the Central Association. Olde O’Mara Is his name. Montreal papers are charging that Chick Gandil didn’t his best for the team. And, naturally, Chick is sore. Charley Dooin is actually trying the scheme of giving his signals while standing. He thinks the old crouch thing will have to go. The Phillies have been wondering what players will be traded. Now comes a rumor from New York that Chalmers Is to be let go. Jennings says his pitching staff Is much stronger than it Was last year. The veteran members of the Tiger staff are pitching grand ball, Eugene Krapp of the Naps is so clever at fielding that his teammates call him “Rubber,” the idea being that he bounds around for the pill. The Boston Red Sox have purchased another outfielder from the New England league. Outfielder Walsh of the Fall is the youngster. Clark Griffith wants to get Joe Hovlik from the Milwaukee club, but he will not be able to do so, because there is a strong string attached to Joe. - Frank Smith, the veteran pitcher that was released by the Cincinnati Reds recently, Is doing fine work with the Montreal team In the International league. Frank Farrell, owner of the Yankees, Is authority for the statement that his team will be reorganized, no matter what the cost, before another season rolls around. Jennings may become part owner of the Boston Nationals next year. Ward has been a dismal failure there, and Jennings Is anxious to get Into the magnate class. Dolly Gray, former Washington pitcher but now of the Vernon team In the Pacific coast league. Is doing such good work that his team Is now leadlag that league. '

will always be open. For Instance, there was the case of his thirteenth win. Marquard went out of the game with his team behind, but before another pitcher went in his mates batted out a victory. Secretary Heydler of the National League ruled that the victory went to Marquard because he had pitched most of the game. The fifteenth game presented another situation. Marquard went In In the eighth Inning with the score a tie; his team won In the tenth. He also got credit for that. Whatever may be the arguments, there Is no question that Richard de Marquis is one of the greatest twirlers of modern times and the fact that he Is a left-hander makes his work all the more remarkable, for lefthanders have never been noted for consistency.

ONE OF MACK’S GREAT FINDS

Amos Strunk Fills Place of Captain Murphy in Athletic Outfield With Much Credit. Amos Strunk, who Is playing left field for the world’s champions, has been with the Athletics for four years. Probably no man in baseball outside of Connie Mack saw In Strunk the “makings” of a great player. Amos sure was a raw recruit when Mack picked him up. Few and far between

Amos Strunk.

were the games in which he participated up to this season. When Capt. Danny Murphy was injured a short time ago the wiseacres said: “That finishes the Athletics. Connie hasn’t got a good man to take his place.” But they reckoned not with the youngster whom Connie Worked with for tbe greater part of four years. Amos Strunk was assigned to an outfield berth, and he has proven by his terrific batting and brilliant fielding that Connie’s confidence and patience were not In vain.

McGraw Behaving Himself.

John McGraw is behaving himself much better this year on the coaching line than ever before. He has been put out of the game but once or twice, but then he has not had much reason to kick against the umpires, as the Giants have been having such an easy time of it

Watching Earl Mack.

Connie Mack has ordered his eoouta to watch his son, Earl Mack, in action, with a view to taking him on the big team if he looks good enough. Earl is manager of the Atlantic City team and is a Comer la the eetimatloa of every ongitbat baa seam him.

TED EASTERLY NO DUDE

Not Particularly Strong on Sartorial Embellishments. When Cleveland Backstop Reported #* Los Angeles Club He Wae Dressed In Peaceful Valley Dicer and Celluloid Collar. When Ted Easterly, who is playing a remarkably clever game for the Cleveland club this season, pried his way into the professional ranks as a member of the Los Angeles team, he was not particularly strong on eartorial embellishments. While indirectly from the “tall and uncut,” Ted was a human dynamo when It came to getting the informer tlon and was “wise” to almost everything except duds, says the Sporting News. But put him up against the purple and fine linen game and his combined batting and fielding average would have been about .001 at the most. When Easterly reported for the first trip north with the Seraphs he was harnessed up in a Peaceful Valley dicer and a celluloid collar. True, there were other articles of wearing apparel clinging to his person, but it was the haberdashery stuff that gave him the real sparkle. This collar was the type that Is built to an extreme height of five-six-teenths of an Inch, Is Invariably from four to five sizes too large for the wearer and shines with a luster all Its own. Tdd is" believed to have accumulated It In Downey, Cal., which was the scene of his amateur activities. Celluloid collars were considered quite recherche in Downey at that time. Comparatively few of them, however, survive at the present time. „ : ± T j When the team landed In Oakland.

and Joe Nealon, who were then playing with the California “outlaws.” Hogan and Brashear at once started in to “kid” Croll and Nealon. “Come on ‘bushers,’ and have a real class A cigar," remarked Hogan, airily throwing down a five-spot and ordering the most expensive cabbage In the house. Brashear supplemented this with a grand stand play of the same sort and all the time a line of talk was handed out to convey the impression that Croll and Nealon were playing with a sixth-rate league. These were at a loss for verbal vitriol with which to combat the caustic comments of the Coast leaguers until Croll happened to spot Easterly with the celluloid halo about his neck. "Class A, eh? Class A!” drawled Croll, fixing a piercing gaze on Ted. "Say, ‘Hap,’ bring your class A friend with the China egg collar on over here and we will buy him a good cigar”— but Hogan had ducked.

PITCHER’S NAME HELD BACK

Connie Mack, Manager of Champion Athletics, Never Gives Informar tlon on His Twlrlers. Connie Macs, manager of the world's champions—and a mighty wise manager he is too —has one idiosycrasy that is shared by few leaders in major or minor leagues. He never will let anybody know who is going to pitch for him until a few minutes before the game starts. Almost every other boss will give an Idea the day before who may be expected to work, possibly naming a couple of men and selecting whichever warms up best. The Athletics’ guiding hand, however, positively declines to give out any information on this subject. He Is polite and nice about it always, but he yields not the slightest clue. The reason given by Mr. Mack for this silence in regard to hurlers Is that he himself never knows who is going to be on the slab. He has men whose turns are somewhere near due warm up at the ball yard and then picks the one that he considers will be most effective at that particular time. On the other hand, Connie probably has some idea at least one day ahead who is likely to do his flinging, only some flaw in this man's preliminary work being sufficient to change the manager’s mind. Still by keeping mum, Connie gains a reputation for guile that may help him in his business. —— a rr

CROSSED WIRES.

They stroll toward the shady bower and the young man observes: “Did you know that I am a mind reader?” “Indeed?” asks the coy young thing. “I am; and I know what you are thinking of right now.” “Really?” she asks, with a blush. “Yes; you are thinking about getting kissed under the shade of those vine canopied trees.” She blushes even more vividly, and the astute youth is greatly encour* aged until she says: “How did you know that Mr. Ryevail proposed to me in that shaded walk yesterday?”

Inequalities of Life.

“It doesn’t seem altogether fair," observes the man with the Introspective eyes. “What doesn’t?” asks the man with the discouraged whiskers. “There’s old Meddergrass’ son Lemuel. Wouldn’t stay on the farm and become a tiller of the soil like his father. Ran away from home and studied art, then came back and painted some views of the old farm. And he got $1,500 for a picture of a field that his father would be glad to sell for SSO spot cash.”

Precautions.

"And you say Brown Is a cautious man?” “Why, he Is always making mistakes.” “Yes,” acknowledged - Brown’s friend, “but have you ever noticed that he always makes an excuse before he makes the mistake?”

Wrong interpretation.

S "Miss Yetlltt! Miss Yellitt!" ex* claimed the music teacher In despair. "Remember you are singing an Invitation to Summer.’ You are begging It to come—cot daring It!”

Folled.

The |overs whispered together before the doors of her father's hangar, planning the last details of their elopement “Hurry, dearest" he urged. "We will wheel out your runabout monoplane, and together we’ll fly away on the wings of the night nevermore to be separated!" “Walt” she exclaimed. *1 have s better plan. We will rim It out and hide it In tbe old stable; then we will walk to the trolley and papa will never suspect us.” They were hardly half a mile on their way down the road when, from overhead, came the roar of the triple propellers of the racing monoplane as papa dashed out Into the darkness In hot pursuit—-Puck.

The Bad Part of it.

"Oh, you will learn to forget me In time,” she said. “I know I shall,” he replied, "but I shall never forget the money I have spent trying to make you think me a prince.” On the ocean of life It is a case of sink or swim with a large portion of the floating population.—Philadelphia Bulletin.

Hooper, Nebraska.—“l am very glad to tell how Lydia E.Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has helped me. For five years I suffered from female troubles so I was scarcely able to do my work. I took doctors’ medicines mid used local treatments but was not helped. I had such awful bearing down pains and my back was so weak I could hardly walk and could not ride.
