Showing of Rube Marquard This Son

New yorld Beaters Make Good, but
FgJI to Uiurp Many Vets. v
With" The end of the major league
season In sight, this seems as good a
time as any to rerlew some of tho
points which will make 1011 history
In tho annals of the game, if there
really bo any annals. We do this to
beat some of the real baseball Ills
torians like George Moreland; Pop
Morso nnd Ilughle Fullerton to It.
Now for tho fntnl plunge:
Ty Cobb of Detroit further strength'
I ened bis hold on the honor of being
the world's greatest ball ploycr. Char
ley Comlskey, owner of the Chicago
White Sox, called him this. In a fa-
jnous Interview last year. Nothing
the Georgia Cracker has done so far
can take this remarkable title from
him. Ho has been largely responsible
in keeping the Tigers In their high es
tate. In batting, base running and
fielding he has been premier in all
that that much overworked word indi
cotes.
After having been panned by New
Xork critics for two years and more
McGraw of the Giants now has the
eatlsfactlon of seeing his $11,000 beau
ry, Rube Marquard, develop Into one
of the best southpaws In tho country.
Getting off to another punk start, this
former American association star has
, blossomed out Into a world beater,
and It is duo to him in a great meas
ure that the Giants are very, very
formidable contestants for the Nation
nl league title. Tho changeable New
York critics now nre extolling M&
Grnw's foresight. So hatd off to the
Giant's manager, please!
Player Stovall of the Clevelnnd Naps
has proved himself n first rato man
agcr for "one so young." Tho Naps
have really played better ball under
him than they have In years. The
players seem to want to make his re
gime ns much of n success as possl
, ble, which accounts for tho very com
mendable manner In which they have
oiAeen playing tho past two months.
epJiey have risen out of the depths to n
S')sition which is not half bod, being
JJgnjntestnntH with tho Whito Box, the
10Jankees and the Speed Boys of Bos
gc '.on for third notch.
Ed Walsh of tho Sox has pitched his
first no bit gamo artei-knoclslng-nrthe'
floor for years. This caps his truly
Kreat career, and ho now can rest in
content. It would have broken his
heart to retire from tho game with
out that honor. Ed has pitched
several one hit games. One tough ono
In particular, played some four years
ago In Chicago grounds against the
Naps, was a cruel blow to Edward.
The ono hit was a mighty dinky one
In tho eighth Inning. Then another
bit that might have bene knocked
down occurred a couple of weeks ago
against Boston. But tho best game
Walsh ever pitched was against Chcs
bro of tho Yankees six years ago.
That former spltball king held the
Sox to ono hit and lost, 1 to 0, which
Is going some.
Another Ed Iteulbach of the Cubs-r
retains his unchallenged title of the
wildest man of the leagues. For years
tho Cub fans have shuddered to see
him ascend tho box. As It generally
happened there were half a dozen men
passed, one or two hit, and then Ed
ward was called to the bench. Most
of tho Chicago fans wonder why he
has been kept this long time. But
perhaps the Cub management feels
compelled to retain ono who Is so con
sistent. And wo still have tho same
old headlines In tho papers In fact, it
happened only recently "Reulbach
Wild, Cubs Lose."
Tho grand form shown by tho St.
Louis Cardinals nnd their amazing
spurt earlier In tho season are ono of
I the year's best offerings. It Is possl
blo that next year St. Louis will have
a winner.
!t Tho Boston Nationals, with two
comebacks KHng and Donlln have
been Jarring several of tho "hopes" of
late. Tho Cubs were severely Jolted
on their last visit to Boston. This
Is noteworthy enough to deserve men
tion here, Inasmuch ns Bo6ton general
ly Is satisfied with ono victory a year
from Chicago.
