THE CITIZEN, FRIDAY, SEPT. 8, 1011. FACTE T PLAYERS FOUND RUDE MARQUARD AN EASY MARK. Knbo Mnrquard wasn't quite sure ho had been bought by the Giants from Indianapolis three years ago until ho was on a train bound for New York. Tho big southpaw bad boon beaten out of $2 In Mc O r a w's name two y o a r s be fore and. oneo bitten, was twice c a u tl ous. John Henry M y e r s. n mabquaiid. teammate of Rube's on the Canton (0.) team, Mnrquarfl's first one, got tho $11,000 beauty's $2. Hero's the story: Myers showed Itubo a fake telegram from McGraw, asking Myers to report to tho Giants at $000 a month. Myers borrowed CO cents of Rube to pay for tbo message. He borrowed another half dollar to wire McGraw that ho could bring Marquard with him. Later Marquard paid 50 cents for a telegram supposed to have been sent by McGraw, saying he would giro Marquard $400 a month. Rube gave Myers 50 cents to wire McGraw hla accept ance. Myers told Rube they would Jump the Canton club that night Rube was nervous at tho nark. Myers told him 'to act natural, pack his clothes after the game, check his trunk at tho depot and wait at a certain poolroom. Bade Myers, Canton manager, found Marquard at the pool room. "How much did John Henry work you for?" Bade asked. "Two dollars," sold Rube. $ "Why, what's the matter?" X "Oh, nothing," said Bade, "ex- ' cept that those messages arowrlt- A ten on sending blanks, and you were receiving them." JJ$s$$ ENGLISH OPPOSE BIG FIGHT. Think Johnson-Wells. Bout a Slaughter and May Call It Off. Opposltio'n to tho proposed "fight" between Jack Johnson and Encland's alleged champion, Bombardier .Wells, Is Increasing to such a degree that the English sporting critics say that Wells hasn't had sufficient ring experience io tackle the grinning negro, who. stands to draw down n small fortune for his end of this affair. In pointing out reasons why Wells cannot hope to make a respectable showing if Johnson tries, attention Is called to tho interesting fact that Ed die McGoorty of Oshkosh, Wis., middleweight, outpointed Tetty Officer Curran in a twenty round bout in Dublin. Then Curran knocked out the much abused Gunner Molr In two rounds, and, sad to relate, Molr put Wells to sleep in three rounds. On that sort of pugilistic dopo ifs no wonder that Englishmen do not relish the Johnson-Wells match, so called. SHERIDAN TRAINING HARD. Great Athlete Trying to Rid Himself of Some Extra Weight. For the first time since ho last work ed to fit himself for tho all round championships Martin Sheridan, who Is rated as tho greatest athlete 'in the worm, is uown to real nara training, Sheridan has taken up his abodo at Celtic park, New York, and is working faithfully to get rid of somo of the extra weight that he has accumulated ulujuk iuu pusc iweive montns. in less than two weeks' time Martin has a ....... v..e full of enthusiasm, it is moro than likely that ho will easily get down to a weight that will enable him to bo spry in the discus circles onco more.

MACK AND M'GRAW MAY CLASH In 1005 New York Giants' Leader Scored Easily Over the American League Champions, but It Will Be Different Now. By TOMMY CLARK. One baseball prediction can be safely watered at this time, and that is'tk. world's series of 1011 will surpass in Interest any ever played previously. The terrific fights m both big league baseball organizations for the cham pionship have keyed tho "fans" up to a sixty horsepower pitch of excite ment, and tho series of games for the world's title Is bound to reap tho ben efits. With tho New V'ork Giants having a plendid chance to win the National league pennant and tho Athletics hav ing tho American league bunting almost won, tho world's scries of 1011 may be a repetition of the contests of 1005, when the New Yorkers and Athletics of Philadelphia had.it out. On that occasion tho Giants won four of tho Qvo games from the Mack men. There are many who bellevo tho Ath letics would defeat the Giants if they again meet this fall.' It seems that John McGraw is in command of a team inferior to tho ooo he o'wned six years ago. On tho other hand, the Athletics are generally believed to bo etronaer than the team that represent ed the American league in the world's series of 1905. But few of die men who engaged in the 1003 series would be soon In action this year. None of the Giants, save tho pitchers and Arthur Devlin, who is' no longer a regular of McGraw's team, are now members of the Now York team. Of the old Athletics, Briscoe, Lord, Danny Murphy, Topsy Hartsel, Harry Davis and some of tho pitchers remain. Davis aad Hartsel oro fno longer regulars. Another Glante-Athlctlc series would bring together those famous veterans, Christopher , Mnthewson nnd Chief Charles Bender. They had it out in tho former series, Matty winning, 2-0, although Bender had tho better of the hit argument, (W5. Incidentally Ben der won the only game of tho series from the Giants, defeating Joe Mc- Glnnlty and Loon Ames, 3-0. Today "McGraw has no man like Boger Brcsnohnn to do his catching. His outfield vrlU probably hit as hard and is as fast as the old Browne-Mortes-Donlln combination, but the in fledd is not as air tight Matty is still pitching winning ball, but Is hardly mo same wizard that ho was six rears ago. However, instead of McGlnulty tho Giants now lmvo Marquard as tho next best bet to Big Six. Bender Is probably as good today as he was when ho last faced the Giants. Eddie Plank, although n veteran now, still seems to have his old cunning. A two hit game against tho Browns re cently shows that ho is far from through as a big leaguer. Then Mack has John Coombs, Harry Morgan and n flock of juveniles to fall back on. For the lost two Bcasons the Athletics have figured as real pennant contend ers. They won last season and will probably repeat this year. While Chief Bender was Mack's main reliance last season, the Indian re ceived valuable aid from John Coombs, the Maine Iron man, but the Now Eng ender has not bad such a successful campaign this season. However, it is probahlo that ho is being nursed along by the wise Cornelius and will do hi" real work when the world's- series battling Is on. But when Coombs fell down Eddlo Plank came to life again. Ho did his share of tho work last season, but tho real -work was left to Bender nnd Coombs. This season, , though, Plank is proving a great aid to tho Philadcl phlans. Jackson a Quick Thinker. Joe Jackson Is not only n hard hitter and fast man, but a quick thinker on tho ball field. CURRENT SPORT NOTES An English curling team will visit Canada this winter. Eddie Hankm, ex-lightweight pugil ist, wants to take up refereelng fights on tho Pacific const Ho is twenty-five years old. Sydney, New South Wales, has forty four baseball teams, including fifteen school nines, playing tho national pas time of tho United States. Tommy Keane, tho Syracuse univer sity athletic trainer, believes that Beidpath, his crack quarter milcr, is able to outstrldo any of the college cracks at that distance. It has been announced that a winter meeting of a hundred days, will begin at tho Juarez (Mexico) roco track Dec. L More than 5300WO in stakes nnd purees will bo bung up for competition. Erato Johnson, for many years one of tho best players of tho Wanderer hockey team of Montreal, has signed a contract to play hockey in Calgary, Canada, next winter at a salary of M.000. COBB TEACHES JACKSON. $ & Naps' Outfielder Uiing Tiger 8tar"e $ Famous -Fall Away Qlido. f They say Ty Cobb Is Jealous of Joe Jackson, but listen to T this: Ty taught Joe his fall away slide and gave him some advice in base run ning that is said to have improved Joe's work. Joe has coin b 1 n e d his own tricks with those Cobb taught him. By watch ing tho out field Joe couldn't quite see how Cobb made his famous slide, so be got up and asked Ty -how he did IL Ty not only told Joe, but made a couple of fall away slides with Joo at the base to see how it was done. Joe caught on in a second. Ho hadn't been starting his slide soon enough and didn't get as far to one side of tho bag as ho should have. Joo is Just about Ty's equal at making the fall away slide, and no other player in the American league, if in either of the big leagues, Cobb excepted, is a bet ter slider than the Nap star. WHY CATCHERS SLOW UP. Constant Stooping Harden Muscles of Legs and Interferes With Running. Why do catchers slow up after sev eral seasons' service in tho big leaguo? asks a fan. A logical reason is given. It follows: "Few catchers are fast an their feet after they have been in tho game a few years, and this failing is attributed to the fact that the man lehlnd tho bat does a lot of sooplng and thus hardens the muscles, of his legs in such a wny as to Interfere with his running. Now nnd then a young catcher breaks in who can step around tho bags at a good clip, but as a rule he loses his speed after a short time and becomes slow. Today there aro few-catchers who havo speed on tho bases. Aln smlth is perhaps the best runnsr of nny of tho catchers in tho major leagues, and Eddie has not been in tho game long enough to slow up." WILDING NOT TO PLAY. Australia's Tennis Star Will Not Assist In Defending Davis Cup. A. F. Wilding, who wns a member of the- Australasian defending team two years ago and who last July re tained the British tennis championship title by defeating H. Itoper Barrett at Wimbledon, announced recently that a. f. wriiDiNa. AwrnnjA's cjuck tennis MiAl-EII. he would bo unable to return to New Zealand to aR.slst in defending tho Da vis cup this year. Wilding is one of tho greatest tennis players Australia ever produced. His absence will surely weaken the team. Brooklyn's Sleep Producing Pitchers. Now that tho Brooklyn club has grab bed "Slow Joe" Doylo, Charley Ebbets will put in Turkish divans at Washing ton park. If there aro two moro de liberate pitchers than Doylo and Knot zer their presence hasn't been noted. As Bleep Inducers they should succeed. Bush Changes Stylo of patting. Shortstop Ownio Bush clho Detroit Tigers always bats right handed against a southpaw and seems able to hit that way much better than from tho other side. Krapp, Naps' Young Pitcher. Pitcher Krapp of the Cleveland team watches the bases sharply nnd Is quick e n flash at fielding ground balls.
