Rube Marquard, The winning streak of Rube Mar- quard of the New York Giants is not only a season’s sensation, but is the cause of a lot of arguments—some of which can be settled by reference to the records, others which must be de- cided only in each fan’s own opinion. As the Rube approached the modern day records of Reulbach and Chesbro of 14 straight wins the delvers into the dope began to dig deeper for more anclent marks for him to shoot at. They discovered that Radbourne had won 18 straight for Providence in 1884, that Luby had won 20 for Chi- cago in 1890 and that McCormick in 1886 with Chicago had won 24 straight. So far as known that mark of McCormick’s is the premier feat In organized ball. Disputes as to the clear title Mar- guard holds to some of his victories $11,000 “Lemon.” will always be open. For instance, there was the case of his thirteenth win. Marquard went out of the game with his team behind, but before an- ether pitcher went in his mates batted out a victory. Secretary Heydler of the National League ruled that the vic- tory went to Marquard because he had pitched most of the game. The fif- teenth game presented another situa- tion. Marquard went in in the eighth inning with the score a tie; his team won in the tenth. He also got credit for that. Whatever may be the arguments, there is no question that Richard de Marquis is one of the greatest twir- lers of modern times and the fact that he is a left-hander makes his work all the more remarkable, for left- handers have never been noted for consistency. A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A~ PITCHER'S NAME HELD BACK Connle Mack, Manager of Champion Athletlcs, Never Glves Informa- tlon on His Twirlers. Connie Mack, manager of the world’s champions—and a mighty wise man- pger he is too—has one idiosycrasy that is shared by few leaders in ma- jor or minor leagues. He never will let anybody know who is golng to pitch for him until a few minutes be- fore the game starts. Almost every other boss will give an idea the day before who may be expected to work, possibly naming a couple of men and gelecting whichever warms up best. The Athletics’ guiding hand, how- ever, positively declines to give out any information on this subject. He Is polite and nice about it always, but he ylelds not the slightest clue. The reason given by Mr. Mack for this si- Jence in regard to hurlers is that he himself never knows who is going to be on the slab. He has men whos# turns are somewhere near due warm up at the ball yard and then picks the one that he considers will be most ef- fective at that particular time, On the other hand, Connie prob- ably has some idea at least one day ahead who is likely to do his flinging, only some flaw in this man’s prelim- inary work being sufficlent to change the manageg’s mind. Still by keeping mum, Connle gains a reputation for guile that may help him in his busi- ness. Protects His Feet. Umpire Johnstone of the Natlonal league wears a metal covering over his thoes to protect his feet from foul tips. Looking for Good Day. President Charles Ebbets is looking. now for a date when he can celebrate the opening of his new ball park in connection with some historical event. The schedule committee squelched his first choice, but, as Charles says, his- tory 1s full of incidents and Auguat is full of days.

Selforde Stellwagen of Minneapo- lis, a student of the University of Minnesota, Thursday afternoon won the tennis championship of the Northwest on the Dephaven ocurts, Lake Minnetonka, by defeating Ward C. Burton in one of the closest five- set matches ever played on the Bur- ton courts, 6-2, 3-6, 6-4, 1-6, 6-2. Three hundred and five points were played during the match, and there was only three points difference in the aggregate of the players, Stell- wagen making 154,, and Burton 151. Forty-two games were played, Stell- wagen getting 22, and Burton 20. Stellwagen’s victory over Burton, the veteran of many season’s of play, proved beyond question that his de- feat’of J. J. Armstrong, the Minne- sota state champion, was not a flash in the pan. His net work was a bril- liant feature of the game, the hest, in fact, the writer has seen this sea- son. His victory last week over Arm- strong had given him a confidence which heretofore had been lacking. The first part of this month, Ward Burton, defeated Stellwagen, in the finals for the city champions in three straight sets, 6-3, 7-5, 6-0. WERE SOLDIERS DRUNK! Chicago, July 27.—War depart- ment officials here have decided to in- vestigate reports published here that membeérs of the Illinois and Wisconsin National Guard and of the regular army gathered at Camp Douglas, team record by Minor Heir, 1:58%, and George Gano, 2:02; lso a trial against other world’s records by the greatest oolt speed marvel the world has ever known, Dazzle Patch. To those conversant with harness horse matters it seems certain that if the weather is favorable on Labor Day records will be broken and horse history made. The world’s team rec- ord is mow 2:02%, made by Hedge- wood Boy and Lady Maud C. in 1909, For ten years previous to that this record stood 2:05%. The men who know Minor Heir and George Gano have every reason to be- lieve that they will not only lower this mark, but-will put it at a point where It will not be bothered for many years to come. Minor Heir is acknowledged to be the fastest harness horse in training and there are many who claim that, without a pacemaker in front, the Heir-at-Law horse is faster than even the world’s champion Dan Patch was In his prime. However this may be, Minor Helr has been a dozen miles under two minutes and when he starts over a good track and is in good condition 1 two minute mile is merely play for aim. George Gano has been two miles in two minutes or better in competition although he did not get credit for this lime as he was beaten in each in- stance by Minor Heir. Gano is the hero of marny a hard fought turf bat- lle and is admitted to be one of the pamest and fastest pacing horses now In the racing game. These two horses 1ave been hitched to pole and worked logether admirably. They are remark- 1bly well matched in rize, za‘t, tem- Dan Patch, is expected to arouse as much, if not more, enthusiasm than the great team. Dazzle Patch has been a half mile in 59 seconds when but twenty-eight months old, is a beautiful colt and is unquestionably the fastest pacer of his age the world has ever known. He resembles the champion in many ways and has his sire’s peculiar ability to arouse the enthusiasm of multitudes. Mr. Savage has contracted to have Dazzle give a half mile exhibition, but it the colt’s condition warrants it and weather and track are suitable his owner has stated that he would let the colt marvel step a mile against ‘the world’s record of 1:65. In addition to these remarkable speed features the week’s racing pro- gram includes a purse offering of $26,- 000 and a Jarge number of the most famous horses in the country will gather to fight it out for honor and big stakes during the week.

The Net Results. ‘When Ollie James, new junior Uni- ted States senator from Kentuecky, first broke into politics in his native county of Crittenden he had occasion to try a case before a rural magistrate. ‘When the trial was ended the magis- trate invited the youmg lawyer to go home to dinner with him. As they sat down at the table the old man sald: “Ollle, it pains me mightily to see you messin’ in with politics.” “Why s0?” inquired James. “Ollie, my som,” said the magistrate, “politics ain’t a fittin’ pursuit for any young man. Look at me!-I started in politics when I was young and hopeful, Just like you are now. I have held all the positions of trust in the gift of the people of my home district—I have been school trustee, road super- visor and constable and justice of the peace.

The boy pald his papa, who was reared on a farm, had told him there was no limit to the reach of a cow’s kick, and that he thought it would be safer to hide while one was In sight. It was with difficulty the boy was convinced that his father merely wanted him to keep :lut of the cow's reach.—Indianapolis ews, The Childiess Apartment.
