Rube Marquard. Rube Marquard’s career is one of the rare romances of the game. When Rube joined the Giants about seven two seasons to gain enough confidence to reach the heights. For two years Mec- Graw turned the spiral southpaw over to Wilbert Robinson, whose main job was to make Rube believe he could go in and win. Finally the Rube got started, and for three years he was a sensation. He won 24 games in 1911, 26 games in 1912 and 23 games in 1913, all pen- nant years for the Giants. In 1914 he began to slip again and then his confidence waned. After two bad seasons McGraw decided to cut the southpaw adrift, and Robby, who recalled his work before, signed Marquard up. Last fall this same lack of confidence. This spring there was still no return. “The Rube,” said Robby, ‘has all the old stuff—the smoke and the curves. He is young and strong. As soon as he finds out he can win again he will be as good as ever.” So Robby, for the second time, went about the job of restoring faith. He put Rube in against the Giants, but the first four men up laced him savagely, so out he came. But Robb never lost his helief that Rube was still there. then one day the stately southpaw, holder of the nineteen straight record, again. From that point on he looked to be the Rube of old.

And | NEW, BRITAIN ELIMINATION OF AUSTRIA FROM WAR Deep-Seated Feeling Germany Is Using Monarchy As Tool —The early elimi- London, July nation of Austria from the war is now regarded as so certain that the chiet subject of debate in the newspapers of the allied countries is the policy of Germany in relation to it. That Ger- | many has discounted the surrender of Austria is regarded as evident. The recriminations in the German press against the allled empire have become so open and pointed that the motive for their tolerance by the German censarship is freely discussed. The fact that newspapers which, like | the Frankfurter Zeitung, are sidered as semi-official organs of the German foreign office should indulge in continuous criticisms of and even in cynical gibes kardly can be without motive. The most interesting feature of the situation is that there is not merel cutburst of sharp comment Austria in the German press but thnt‘ in the Austro-Hungarian empire there | are open and acrimonious disputes be- tween the Austrian and the Hungarian sections. These disputes are seeming- | iy being fostered by the same semi- | cfficial organs in Germany, and this circumstance is considered as ex- | tremely significant. The conclusion drawn among the Allies is that, with the Austrian | “debacle” admitted as imminent, ar- rangements already are being made in Germany to draw -the greatest profit | frem it. With the collapse of the| Austro-German empire Germany al- most inevitably would make gains which would largely compensate her | con- Austria, at her, a political | cven for the loss of the war. With Austrian and Magyar pitted against each other and reconciliation exceedingly difficult, a return to the | status quo ante bellim in the Dual | Xingdom is believed impossible. The | more warlike Magyar would dominate such a situation, It is believed that Austria, or at | least the German part of it, may be drawn into the German Empire if conditions arise which will make the living of Austrian and Hungarian in political union Impossible. Eliminates Turks and Bulgars. General Verraux, the nated French military author, says in the Oeuvre that it is inevitable that Austria will be put out of the war, and that the one condition for this, besides the direct pressure on Austria, will be the holding by the Russians of the front from Riga to the Pripet Marshes against the Germang and the holding by the Franco-British-Belgian forces on the western front, so as to prevent the Germans from bringing help to their allies. With Austria beaten, he suggests that the value of Bulgaria and Turkey as allies for Germany wauld be gone, The Swiss military expert, Colonel Feyler, says that the disaster which is befalling the Austrians is not with- out a certain consolation for the Ger. mans. “The German General Staff,” he says in a dispatch from Lasanne to the Paris Journal, “will explain to the German public, which will not | leaders of the Magyar Kingdom, t | of | further Zeitung | themselves. DAILY HERALD, SAIURDAY, JULY 15, 1916. the rectification of the front which Wwas freely published in the neutral press. It is to be supposed that our friends are endeavoring to picture the situation in optimistic colors. This system, however, as can be seen in the present case, has its inconvenien- ces. Our military situation is sufficient- ly good to allow us not to minimize disagreeable truths.” While these severe reprimands are being addressed to the military ad- ministration in Austria, the increasing complaints of the Hungarians with regard to the management of the war on the part of the Austrian general staff and with regard to the heav) unduly heavy—burdens put upon Hungary, are accentuated in the same section of the German press. It is complained openly in newspapers of Budapest that out of the enormous losses of the dual monarchy on both the war fronts during recent wceks, losses which are said to surpass iwo- thirds of a million men, Hungary's share was vastly in excess of what it legally should have been if an accur- ate proportion were kept between population and military employment. The Hungarians compute their recent losses at nearly 500,000, and bitter complaint is made that recklessness and incompetency have characterized the handling of these forces. Count Tisza, the Hungarian premier, has voiced, though in a moderate way, the sentiment of parliamentary at Hungary cannot again tolerate a form domination from Vienna which should put in jeopardy the most vital interests of the nation. The Frant adds fuel to the flames by characterizing the great im- pression created in Vienna by that part of Count Tisza's statements re- garding the future of Magyarism. New Hungarian Sentiment. “The Hungarian statesman,” the German newspaper s: s that the status quo ante is finished for the Hungarian nation. The Hungarians are no longer what they were before the war. Now they know and apprecia He stated his hope t the war, besides saving the nation from danger from the enemies who threaten it, will place its future on better foundations. The impression in Vienna is that Magyarism is under- taking the conquest, with regard to the other state of the empire, of the position to which it believes it has a right, in view of the sacrifices made in the course of the war, and the pre- mier makes the announcement as with a blare of trumpets.” In this connection the Tribuna Rome says: “Those who recall the discussions of the last session of the Hungari chamber and the reproaches then made by the same Count Tisza against the Austrian government and general staff, of not giving due credit for the services rendered by the Magyars, as well as the discussions which arose from his statement at that time, will understand th4t the Magyars tcday are adopting the tone of masters and are aiming at the ancient dream of removing to Budapest the center of the political life of the empire, with the threat of struggles between the two states vastly greater than auy which raged in the past.” How intense and open this Hungar- ian political revolt has become is in- dicated by the fact that the semi- official Reichspost, of Vienna, dis cussing the question, says th “the whole movement means that the Hur garians are aiming to make Austri their vassal.” The gerness with which Gorman newspapers have set forth and com- mented on the spread of the revoit in Hungary is offered as justification for statements in newspapers ir the allied countries that Germany is fo- menting this spirit of revolt wi'k: the hope of drawing advantage from it. at of in White Rat, Pet of N.

Trouble started after the game when remarks by several spectators were addressed to the New York teamy while they were in their dressing rooms. MecGraw resented what was said.

One will have reason to be surprised if this argument is not soon adopted as that of the German military au- thorities.” With regard to the newspaper dis- cussions, apologies and excuses from Vienna are responded to from Ger- many with sharp reprimands. Thus the Tag of Vienna said: “In Bukowina our troops have been forced back on both wings, to the south after fights, to the north with- | out battle. In order to explaln the slow development of these gigantio fights, and to reply to the stupid state- ments of outside newspapers, we would remark that our soldiers and the German troops struggling by their side know, as well as do the soldiers of the Czar, that never hitherto has | any one been able to resist attacks delivered with such power as these. The Russians have thrown into the fields of battle colossal masses.” Zeitung's Sharp Reply. The Frankfurter Zeitung sharply replies: “The Austrian General Staff is right in abandoning unfavorable po- sitions, but, then, why did it announce continuous victories and why did it give to the public illusions which it is now obliged to take away? In the newspapers of neutral countries there is clearly revealed the belief that the forces of the Central Empires, lavish- ed on multiple and incomplete offen- sives, are no longer sufficient for simultaneous action on all the fronts When the Austrian press published a complex explanation of the reason for the recent ‘rectification of the front,” or retirement of the Austrian line which had advanced into Italy, the Frankfurter Zeitung said: “It is regrettable that the corres- pondents who are stationed at Aus- trian general headquarters could not | telegrapn. the news with regard to Why Men Hurl Their Clubs Into the River You TAKE ALL CARE IN ADDRESRS —AND TAKE A MIGHTY SWING AT IT BECAUSE YOU KHAVE a LONG WAY To GO NDS oF NG THE THE By BRIGGS —"AND THEN You Tear UP A LOT OF TURF,6 SENDING BALL ABQUT FIFTY FEET WHEN YOU NEEDED DISTANCE, gkl TRIIT NS B e () e, & i THUS YoU SUCCEED IN GETTING NEAR THE GREEN WHERE 4 SHORT APPROACH SHOT 1S NEEDED — AND You SEND _THE PILL WAY OVER - The LONGEST SHOT YoV'VE MADE —
