Ward, of t'.ie Brooklyn club, yesterday afternoon. Mr. Ward stated that Marquard had i the Brooklyn Federal contract j.i ;ri plicate, in addition to making an a.'li'iavit tihttt he was a free agent in' b iseixill sense and Irani received and i ceij ted for an advance payment un do; his Federal Lei rue contract. Secretary .loan P. Foster, of the New York National League club, when questioned regarding Marquard's stat us as a free agent, .-aid that the pitch er was under contract to the New York (.-units in a series of tihree interlock ing contracts which covered his play ing services for 1915 and 1916 and gave the New York club au option on his services in 1917. Still another con t act gave the New York chub special rights in regard to Marquard's play ing services and was drawn up with the idea of covering any k»i>pho>les which might exist iu tihe other con tract. The secretary of tihe New York eJub scouted the idea that Marquurd could play for any other tea.ni than the Now York Giants for the next two seasons and intimated that the ease would be tarfeen to court if the Giants' southpaw >red to jump lo the iadtpe&d nt league. r President David Fultz, of the Base- I"i'l 1 Players' Fraternity, stated last night that the report of Marquard '* signing witih the Federals was hard to believe, but that if it were true Mar quard would undoubtedly be expelled (from the fraternity, Mr. Futtz's state ment follows: "Information has reached me that 'Rube' Marquard, in spite of the fact that he is under a binding contract with the New York National League, club for the season of 1915, has signed with the Brooklyn Federal League TTBiril 111111 IIIIIi 11 ■!■ III!

The report is hard to believe, as 1 feel till at the Brooklyn people would not knowingly sign a player umder these circumstances. "If Marquard has done this he will unquestionably be expelled from the Basel 1 ill Players' Fraternity, as the di re -tors absolutely will not countenance such disregard of their obligations -by its members." Marquard joined the Giant* in the t'aii of 190S from the Indianapolis club o*f the American Association. The jvur < hase price was SII,OOO, at that time the record price for a manor league pXiver. His start with the (Hants was a dismal failure and it shook his con fidence to such an extent that for two whole seasons he was next to worth less. First known as the sll,OOll beauty, he was later dubbed the $ li-.- 000 leanou. In 1911 he began to im prove and his pitching figured promi nently in the winning of the National League pennant bv the (Hants that yptir. In 1912 he experienced his best season as a Giant, his winning record being featured by a run of nineteen consecutive victories before he suffer ed his first defeat of the year on July 5. In 1913 Marquard again proved a consistent winner and he helped the (Hants materially in their third suc cessful fight for a penr.ij.nt.,During the season just closed Marquard failed to show nny ( oif the form whiclh featured his work of the preceding campaigns and his failure p'.aved a strong part in the loss of the |>ennant by Mc&raw's men. His "break" during the past sea son followed the memorable twentv one-inning g'jwe at Pittsburgh, in which Marquard won over "Babe" Adams by t.jje *'ore of 2 to 1. The strain of the game was blamed to a great extent for Marquard's failures later in the year, w'hen lie was defeat ed twelve straight times. Marquard 'aifter h'is success in 1912, was a 191' holdout, Tin 1 was.finally signed by Dick KinseMa, wfho made the trip to the Pacific coast, where Mar quard was appearing in vaudeville. That contract was for two sdis-ons, but it was called in last spring by the Giants and a new one for three years was issued. ftiU'iiaiim Non-greasy Toilet Cream—Keeps the Skin Soft and Velvety In Rough Weather.

Bob Shawkey and his bride, formerly Miss Marie La Kiev, of Philadelphia, are spending their j honeymoon here as the guests of the i pitcher's cousin, H. D. Sha.vkey. Bob Shawkpy lias been with Connie .Mick's ; champions for the last two years. When asked to make a statement re garding the action of the Athletics' manager in asking waivors on Plank, Bender .in i Coombs, Shaw key said: I "Well, 1 think lie did it to cut down expenses. You know they had a bad year at the box office last season. And then, you know, Bender and Piauk ; were always used against teams Con nie knew they could beat. Their games i were all picked for them. Bender ! never worked against Detroit or Bos ton, for the last several years. Both of them are bothered a whole lot with rheumatism an I will probably never again pitch winning ball in the Ameri can League. "As to Coombs, I think he will come j back, lie and I spent twenty days in the Maine woods on a hunting trip and landed back in Philly thq, day before 1 1 was married. Jack gained twenty pounds in those twenty days an 1 he went along just like the rest of us, [lacking his load on his back. He did CHICHESTER S PILLS!

Plank's game should have been won, but Collins lost a fly hall in the sun. The breaks were with the Braves. Outside of Maranville and fivers there isn't a good player on the Boston team. They couldn't trade their whole outfit for one of our infieUers. "Mack has some good players who haven't done any work as yet. Bressler is a southpaw who is destined to be come a second Plank. He pitches in the same style an.l has everything. "I think the New York team will make a great showing in the American circuit next year, but 1 can't see Bos ton with a field glass. "I wouldn't like to make a selection in the National league. The players in yiat league are all old men and you can't tell much about them. They spurt for a while and then go to pieces. "No. 1 don't think the Quaker City fans are down on Mack for letting his three pitchers go. Mack answered the comment of the critics and f think every person understands the situation thoroughly now." Shawkey and his bride will go to Charleston, W. Va., and then take a short tour through the South before returning to Philadelphia. Oberlin Five Win, to 25 The Neidig Memorial A.
