New York, Aug. 21.--There is strong demang for pitching in both major leagues this season. John J. McGraw says he is stag; geting along with an unc staff, Bat Moran baa bean claiming pite! ers on waivers, while Bill McKechnie has announced, that with one more star hurler he would nose out the Giants, In the American League even Mil- ler Huggins of the New York Yan- kees is having trouble with his re- markable pitching staff. And while all of this is going on “Rube” Marquard is pitching as bril- liantly t any time in his career for a tail-end club. Marquard’s pitching this season, his fifteenth in the National League, is ag remarkable as oe time since he became a big league: His career is known by all follow- ers of the National League. Me ar- rived at the Polo Grounds in the fall of 1908 us an $11,000 prize, McGraw, with that price, had set a record purchase for a minor Leaguer and Marquard immediately became the center of attraction, However, the Rube was not fully developed and for more than a year he was re- garded as one of the biggest lemon’ that ever hit Big Broadway, Developed Into a Siar. Through a slow and careful pro- cess McGraw eventually developed i G the lean and lanky southpaw. There was a sharp turn in affairs and final- ly Maequard became a pitching sen- sation, That record of 19 successive vic- tories attained in 1912 remains the best performance of any big leaguc pitcher during these modern times. But the southpaw phenom did not live long —- anyway in MeGraw’s opinion, and during the 1915 seagon the Rube was passed along to the Brooklyn Superbas as a fading vet- eran, He lasted five years and a half with Wilbert Robinson when there was another shift in his jour- | ney, the Rube going over to the Cin- cinnati Reds in exchange for Walte: Ruether. Marquard lived but one seasdn with the Reds and he was traded along with Larry Kopf to the Boston Braves for Pitcher John Scott. One of Marquard’s most recent games was a shut-out against the St, Louis Cardinals in which he did not pass a single batter. Praise for Marquard. “It was one of the prettiest pitched games I have seen all sum- mer,” remarked Fred Mitchell. “That fellow’s a wonder, let me tell you. While they have been talking about new phenoms and old stars this season, there isn’t a pitcher in the league who has pitched better |i RUBE MARQUARD _ ball than Marquard. With a tail end club he has practically broke even, “You don’t hear much about his work—of course you don’t, because we're down in the cellar, hit rir h+ ‘ow he would win the pennant for the Giants, Reds or Pirates. Me- Graw could use him. Don’t think he couldn’t. The same goes for Moran and MeKechnie. “Marquard as as much speed to- day as when he broke in as a kid. His control for a left hander is re- markable.” The life of a left-handed pitcher in the majors is usually a short one. “Rube” Marquard, like Eddie Plank, is one of the decided exceptions. it’s Easy to Retain Title When. You Dodge *Em Way Joe Lynch Does By Billy Evans New York, Aug. 21.—What has be- come of Bantamweight Champion Joe Lynch. A little over a year ago, Lynch, re- gained the bantam title by his knock- out of Johnny Buff. Since that time Lynch has put the crown among camphor balls and} played hide and seck with every logi: cal contender, As far as Lynch is concerned the bantam title has been a rather fickle honor. He won it in 1920 from Pete Herman. The following year Herman regained the championship. Herman in turn lost it to Johnny Buff, who was beaten by Lynch. Right now the hig idea with Lynch is to have and to hold. Natural- ly, the best way to hold the champion- ship is not to take any unnecessary risks. As a result of Lynch’s inactivity, the bantam class has lacked color for over a year. $ynch in many ways is an unusual champion. He is a bit of an in-and-outer. When Lynch is at the top of his game he is a greater fighter. When he has an off night no third-rater could look worse. Two Logical Contenders Two bantams of class, Joe Bur- man and Car! Tremaine, are entitled to a match with Lynch. The cham- Tremaine. The Cleveland fighter is at his best against rangy boys like Lynch, Asa result, Tremaine’s ef- forts to get a chance at the title have been fruitless. It looks very*much as if Joe Bur- man would get first.call on a title bout. Burman is ‘a’ great little fighter and Lynch will have his. hands full staving off the Chicagoan. Lynch is far from invincible. He doesn’t stand out in his class as does Benny Leonard or Jack Dempsey. Joe is great when great, and ordi- nary when ordinary, His record re- veals his lack of consistency. In 1918 he lost to Pal Moore and Jimmy Wilde. /The following year Jimmy Wilde received another ver- dict in 15 rounds. In 1921 he lost his title to Herman in a 16-round bout and also dropped a 12-round de- cision to Phil O’Dowd. Other fighters to have a verdict over Lynch are Terry Martin and Jack Wolfe. Rivals Are Confident Both Burman and Tremaine are confident they can defeat the cham- pion if given the opportunity. “If I ever eh rch into the same ring with e championship is mine,” is the way Tremuine puts it, Carl is a ‘cocky individual, with unlimited confidence in his ability. “I know: that.1 can beat Lynch or anyone c)#é/at the bantam weight,” says Burman, “All want. thance pion qever has looked with favou ony on to prove it.

KEN WILLIAMS USES HIS BAT | DESPITE ‘KICK ' Aug. 21.—Kenneth Williams, local American home run slugger used his alleged illegal bat in yesterday afternoon’s game with Washington. Manager Jimmy Aus- tin of the Browns said Williams would be allowed to continué using the bat, which contains a wooden peg at the end, until Ban Lis president of the American ruled on the legality of the geon, Umpire George Hildebrand: asserted he would make a com! report of the matter to Jo! Hildebrand’s announcement fpl- lowed a statement by Bush of Washington that he: would protest all victories the Browns won from the Senators in which the bat was used by Williams. Bush asserted that the bat. is legal because it is made’ out of more than one piece of Williams -explained he had the bat made especially for his own use,” and - after receiving. it, “he found ita bit too heavy so he had a hole bored in the.,middle of it, |} are had the hole p! ‘up at the end. . 4 > ne > !
