IrK A AFI H H WHITING VWNAUGHTON. TAD ' X ILlem Rube Marquard, Giants’ Star, Tells His Pitching Secrets By Sam Crane. • TAITCHING, according to Rube T Marquard, Is like making love —everybody does it differently. But also, like making love, there are certain general rules of sue- • cess that must be followed. Marquard is the pitching sensa tion of the baseball season. After loafing for several years on Mana ger McGraw’s staff, he developed, last season, into one of the greatest left-handers that, ever broke into baseball, and this season his record has been remarkable. He has won twelve straight games and his phe nomenal work in the box is not the least of the reasons that the Giants are running away with the pennant. Several years ago. when the fans were speaking of Marquard as an "811.0Q0 bloomer” and in similar unkindly terms. George Wiltse told the writer that Marquard could "put more stuff on a ball than any left-hander in the business.” ,Wiltse is a veteran left-hander himself, so his opinion counts for something. Marquard in this interview tells rhe readers of The Georgian the secret of successful pitching. “Every spring,” said the Rube. ■ AOx.. iS ■ 1 v* T/'-'T pl, 3 n 1 Jl 11) Position of hand for "Tv-key T rotter.” “you hear all sorts of stories about new and weird pitching tricks that are going to revolutionize the game. Some of these new balls are really good and some of them are not. The spitball, which I don't use at all, is one of the comparatively new freaks of pitching that has really dpne remarkable work and at one time threatened to give rise to special legislation in the American league Matty's Fadeaway. “Matty has a fadeaway ball that is a wonder. Other pitchers can throw this ball, but none of them "I 1 J .■ w I|Mr Ml j (2) Position of hand for fast ball, * has th c remarkable control of it that Matty has. He is really the only pitcher that can use it suc cessfully. . . “And this brings me down to what I was getting al. Freak balls are all right for a change, and a pitcher must have some curves and breaks to make good, but the foun dation of all good pitching Iles in two things—control and change of pace. A pitcher that hasn't got these two —especially the first—ls no good, no mattei how many slants and queer Jumps he can give a baseball. “That was the hardest thing I SANTAL-MIDY Relieves in 24 Hours Catarrh of the Bladder * AU Druggists Beware of Counterfeits SANTAL-MIDY had to learn —control. You have to put the ball over the plate for big league baiters. They don't “trike at bad ones. And if you put them square over the plate Sl® W ** F f ■ I w I . ’Jr k ■ L ’ ; A II (3) Position of hand for drop curve. they hit 'em a mile. This means that you have to work the sides of the plate, 'working the corners,' pitchers call it. and that takes con trol. "< 'hange of pace is necessary, be cause if you pitch every ball at the same rate of speed the oppos ing batters soon learn to time if and hit it. You have to mix up fast ones and slow ones, and the same motion in throwing must be used, or they will be able to tell which is tne fast and which the ! slow one before it leaves your hand. My Turkey Trotter. “I have a slow ball I call the 'tur key trotter.' I hold the ball wedged between my middle fingers and supported by the thumb. Natural ly you can't hold the ball firmly, and the final snap of the wrist that gives the speed does not take effect. Going through the air. it is wabbled from side to side, and I ■ the batter can not gauge its speed until it is upon him. The secret of all slow balls is that the ball- is not securely gripped close in to the hand. “The slow ball, thrown with the same motion, is very effective fol lowing a fast curve or a 'fast' ball The fast ball, usually thrown high, has a sharp break close in to the batter, and this, combined with the terrific speed, makes it especially hard to hit. Perfect mastery of these two balls makes a danger ous pitcher without anything else, and when you have a good curve along with them you have all of it. The fast one is held with the two fingers and the thumb— tightly and thrown straight out with all the strength of the arm. "The drop curve that I depend on for most of my curve work is i thrown by holding the ball exactly j as it is held for the fast one. In fact, a pitcher should, to the eye of the batter, hold the ball as nearly the same each time as pos sible. But the peculiar break of the drop is given by releasing the ball over the top of the fingers with an under turn of the hand. It is very hard to hit." $ lB A Norfolk Jacket Suits «* ’ .1 . . ~1. ~.JJ.tta....L. U.

IT’S SIMPLY D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S “Call the Boy with the Khaki Coat” A Friend of Quaker for Twenty-Two Years Mr. G. R. Howder, 63 years of age, who lives at 110 Center street, this city, has been a friend of Quaker Ex tract for twenty-two years. Whtn he first became acquainted with its won derful virtues he had been ailing for years from stomach troubles, and had used quite a few of the many remedies on the market at that time, but found nothing to give real permanent relief until he at last found the first package of Quaker Herbs, put up at that time in a dry form. He was cured by a few weeks' use of them, and since then each vear, usually at the spring time, he gives himself and all the family a course of the great medicine, and if mote healthy-looking and vigorous feeling man at the age of 63 can be found in Atlanta ft will take more than the normal eyes to find him. Mr. How der has raised two children on "Qua ker." and they have never had the puny, pale, sallow complexions of the average child, nor have they suffered O’Keefe Beats Devlin; Slow Count Costs Him a Knockout Tommy O’KEEFE won a deci sive victory over Tommy Devlin at the Gate City "Athletic club,” deserving the award that was handed him by the referee-manager-matchmaker of the ciub. In fact, to many it looked as though O’Keefe had very prop erly knocked out his man in the fifth round. Rut the referee-man ager-matchmaker's arm was tired and he dolled off the count in bunches of about two seconds. Ac cording to Waterbury and Inger sol time, Devlin once rested on the canvas about thirteen seconds. It was a corking fight, and Dev lin proved that he is one of the gamest young men that ever stepped into a ring. He sure Is a bear for taking punishment. O’Keefe, on the other hand, sprang a surprise by displaying some swell hitting power. Athough neither boy really knows enough about the manly art to keep him self warm, they sure put up a fine rough-and-tumble scrap and the fans were more than satisfied. Only a handful of fans saw the bout. The house was “papered" well by the press agents and, con sidering the fact that the fighters fought at top speed all the way, they were unfortunate in pulling down only a wee amount for their energy. For four rounds the milling was even. In the fifth O'Keefe opened up at full speed and a right hook sent Devlin to the floor for the full count. As he arose another right floored him again for a “nine.” Finally he struggled to his feet, but before he could put up his hands a right swing flush on the jaw sent Devlin down for the third time. He was out cold, and had the ref eree-manager-matchmaker counted from the many ills that beset the grow ing child, more especially the hundreds of worms anad other intestinal para sites that Infest the human system of those who do not properly cleanse the digestive tract each year. When Mr. Howder first began to use the Quaker medicine himself he weighed just ex actly 130 pounds. Now he tips the beam at 198, and It's all good, healthy muscle and sinew' and steady nerves, not a lot of bloat. This gentleman called at Coursey & Munn’s drug store and after talking to the Quakers a while took .three more bottles of Qua ker Extract, which he Intended giving to a friend who is beginning to mani fest some of the symptoms of pellagra. He knew that the same remedy had al ready cured a case in Marietta, and is doing yeoman service In six or seven other cases right in Atlanta. Now, those of you who are inclined to doubt that the Quaker Remedies are perma nent In their curative virtue, or who think that when once the remedies have properly, O’Keefe would have earned brackets right here. The sixth round was all O’Keefe's, but Devlin was dead game, and he came out of his cor ner in the seventh looking really fresh. A hot mix in the center of the ring finally ended with Devlin flopping on the canvas for the full count. He managed to weather the round out by clinching and hugging. Devlin had the best of the eighth simply because of his ruggedness. He slugged ali through this period and had O'Keefe backing up. The ninth was even. In the tenth round, during a red hot mix, both boys fell through the ropes to the floor. Neither was in jured and as soon as they climbed back into the arena started battling again at top speed. Spider Britt and Mayer Priea fought a corking eight-round semi windup, with honors even. SOUTHEASTERN LEAGUE. Games Today. Rome in Huntsville. Gadsden in Anniston. Bessemer in Selma.
