ECCENTRIC SOUTHPAW REGAINS ADMIRERS

Long, lean Rube Marquard promulited a pitching masterpiece against

Brooklyn at the polo grounds the other day which brought back to the eccentric southpaw all the admirers he lost when he nibbled at the Federal league bait, jumped his contract, and vaulted back again. Marquard pitched a' no-hit game, the Giants shutting the Dodgeiß out by a score of 2 to 0. It Isn’t often that one sees such an exhibition of the twirling act as Rube showed. He had such marvelous control that he could have spun the ball over if the home plate was as small as a postage stamp. His sinewy left arm circled about his head like a long lash as he wound up and shot tantalising tangents before the eyes of the surprised Brooklyn batsmen. Only 30 Dodgers faced Rube during the matinee. Only three men got to first base, two of these, Stengel and Zack Wheat, being passed. Cutshaw in the seventh inning was safe at first when Fletcher permitted a flirting bounder to jump out of his hands like a grasshopper. Wheat was at first at the time and went down to second, but he was marooned there.
