LEFT-HANDED STAR SHOWS GREAT FORM

The return to form of Rube Marquard has been highly pleasing to the baseball fans of the metropolis. Rube has done fine work for the Giants this season and has made' himself solid once more with the followers of the Giants. Last season he hung up a record of 19 consecutive games won in the early part of the year. After that he struck a big slump and lost almost as many games as he had won in the earlier part of the campaign.

During the world's series Rube did effective work in the box. Much speculation was indulged in this year as to whether or not he would be of much assistance to the Giants in their pennant fight. At the start of this season RUbe did not show anything wonderful, but as the season wore on he has gradually struck his stride and has been a big factor in keeping the Giants at the top in the National league race.
