AUGI’ST fi. 1912 W/or/d’s Greatest Southpaw Tells How He Trains and How He Lives MARQUARD SMOKES LITTLE,DOESN'T DRINK AT ALL J ~ V By “Rube’’ Marquard. 1- RECEIVED a letter the other day from a bunch of youngsters —half a dozen of 'em signed it— asking me how I put in my time during the baseball season when I am not actually pitching—that is, they Want to know how 1 train; what I eat; when I sleep, and so on. They evidently have an idea that my method of living has some bear ing on my pitching—ami I presume it has, In away. 1 am only too glad to answer them, although I don’t imagine that my daily existence varies greatly from that of any other ball player, pitcher or otherwise. You will find that they all live by rule during the playing season early hours, careful eating, find the sim ple life generally. Eirst and for* ino-t I want to say that ,ii--.dpati<ui is rapidly be, outing ilmosl unknown among bull play ers, especially during th, si i ui. Personally. 1 never drink at all. and I know but. very few players who ever drink to excess 1 know of no member of the Giants who does that: they are the cleanest living crowd of young fellows ever banded togethej The idea that a man i nn not dis sipate and continue in the big I ague 1. pretty firmly planted in the minds of all who enter fast company nowadays. \ manager no longer wants that kind of play ers. Ho fig ures life is too short to bother with them. Leave Off Tobacco. Too. I ma- tobacco to a greater or les extent both smoking ami chewing but I wouldn't advise any young ster to follow my example, because he can just as well do without it Certainly it doesn't help him. While most b ill players do smoke or ehew. you <-an lay It down as a general proposition that there is less drinking among them than any ot In r single class of y oung fel lows. During the baseball season | have no set course of training, be cause my ordinary work keeps me in form. I try to maintain a sys tem of ,-xercise in wintei'. and. >,f course, I go through the usual form of hard training in the spring. Takes Walk Before Breakfast. I get up about S:10 o'clock every morning, and take a walk before breakfast. I walk fifteen or twenty minutes, at an ordinary gait, .and then return to mv hotel. F'or break fast 1 , at plenty of fruit, eggs ami toast. 1 have made it a rule never to eat meat during the hot weather. Another thing 1 never drink eof f, e at any time, not even for break fast. Mv morning drink is a pecu liar om iei'd tea. 1 report at the Polo Grounds at 10 o’clock. This is McGraw's iron clad rule, and it must be followed by all the play ers. Has No Time For Lunch. Sometimes 1 leaf around the club house fey an how or so, and then 1 go right back to the hotel. 1 sit atound half an horn or so resting, hut I cat m> lunch and haven't for a long time That is the g.-m-ril iul<- among all ball players. I guess Some may have .-, howl of s "Up ami crackers at noon, imt for lac most part tiny eat nothing betwien bcakfast and supper. 1 have to be back at th' park by ' 'clock and dressed and on t'.i, la Id at 2:;ii>. Then, linle-s 1 am t, i work. 1 spend th- time just is tm fans sc’ me every day - butting th,- hall at'uml. lit lai;, iv, u when i know I am to work I limber up gently by tossing the ball and hit ting fungocs. After the game I have my show er or plunge, and then I again re turn to the hotel—this time for my evening meal. I first sit a ound for . ’ minutes to give my s' mta, h a test, and th* n I eat whatever I feci I like having *xc ruing tn, at, 1 am tn b I between 10:3V and ' I I Rabe Gives Some of His Secrets of Success 110 doesn't dissipate. “No real ball players dissipate,’’ he says. He smokes and chews tobacco, but advises youngsters against it. He doesn’t eat any meat in summer. He doesn't drink coffee, even for breakfast. Iced tea is his break fast beverage. He does not eat any meal in the middle of the day. He keeps in condition in winter with regular exercise. He always takes a brisk walk before breakfast—and then doesn’t eat much. Here is his daily schedule: I'p at 8:30, takes 20-minute walk, eats light breakfast, reports at park at 10. loafs around club house until noon, eats nd lunch, reports at park at 2, eats supper after game, goes to bed 10:30 or 11. 11 o'clock every night! Although th- re is no hard anil fast rule on the subject, McGraw expects every m n to be fn bed by midnight, anil that's where 12 o’clock will prob ably find every miniber of the Giants during the- season. Wln-r I w i having my long run of ninet* *-n victories I had a hard time slipping. As I have Said be fore, 1 felt the mentt.l strain more that) I did the physical effort, and 1 was glad when it was over. Os course, if I ever get another chance to trv for the record I'll do it, but 1 am not keen about it. "Fans Curious,” He Says, The fan is a curious creature in many ways. I love him. of course, because he is responsible for base ball, and, consequently, responsible for me. but I've had many a laugh studying his moods. The "roasts" I used to get w* re a serious mat ter to me when 1 was trying to break in. but I've since come to haw a bett* : understanding of hu man nature as applied to base ball, and I've got a different per spective of tilings. Whin I was ,m my big run I used to get rafts of letters from the fans Most of them were big boost:. They wi re all "with me.” as they -aid. and they gave me ad vice as to how to pitch and what to pitch Then when I lost my first game after making a run of ninet**; n straight. I got barrels of letters from the same people "bxw '.ing no out.” I’he p ayers on the opposing team.’- parti ulariy the Philadel phia club used to try hard to "get my goat" during my record run.

Naturally, all the members of the Giants .are hoping to get the pen nant sewed up as soon as possible? this season in order that they may get a rest before the world's series. We went into the series last fall a little stale and drawn from the fierce campaign in the National league, while th'- Athletics had the advantage of freshness. A lot of the boys could stand a good deal of rest right now. If we should again win the Na tional league pennant and meet the Red Sox, 1 may have the pleasure of hooking ”n with an old friend of my minor league days—" Smoky" Joe Wood, the Boston star right hander. When 1 was with Indian apolis, in the American association. Joe was with the Kansas City Blues in the same league, and many a time we hail a battle. Joe always had a wonderful lot of speed, and I had a bit of the same thing then. We’d just cut loose with plain smoke and would wind up every game we fought with ten and twelve strike-outs apiece. 1 don't believe Joe ever beat me. Johnson Entitled to Reputation. If the Giants should run against Washington and I should happen to hook up with Walter Johnson, it will not be my first fuss with him, either. 1 met him tills last spring in an exhibition game nt Washing ton. We each pitched six innings, and the Giants took Walter. Gs course, he wasn't in as good form then as he is now. but I could see why he has such a great reputation as a pitcher. He is entitled to it. 1 the big "hope" turned out to lie untrue. However. Palzer and O’Rourke had an in terview in which big Al wanted Totnmv to manage him again. However, the pug v anted ho contract attached to his end of it. O'Rourke turned down the off. r because Pafcer was unwilling to use th< old contract. • * • ...•'ail M rri- •.JI of the game.’ Not yet The former White Hope is again seeking matches in Xew York.

Miner Brown, Scout, Turns Down Bald Catcher; Likes ’Em Hairy By Bill Bailey. Chicago, ill.. Aug. *>. -Mor deeai Brown. Cub pitcher, doesn't like a bald-headed player. Especially when he is a catcher. Mordeeal. you know, isn't with the team in the East. His ankle* is still in bad shape. He sprained it in sliding into second some time ago and still limps and carries a cane. Since Mordecai could be of no value to the team sitting around Chicago, he grabbed his fishing rod and went after the denizens of the deep. Ami before he departed President Murphy told him that if he saw any promising young ball players while he was on the road to let him know. Well, Brownie returned and re ported. He was watching on** of the teams in a minor league town not far distant from Chicago ami was taken by the work of one of the catchers. The fellow could throw like a shot, pick men off the bases, cover a lot of ground in going after foul balls and clout fairly well. Brownie was taken with the catcher until he removed his cap. Then he saw that he was . z bald. * ♦ • »<TT E won't do." said Brownie to H President Murphy as they discussed the y oungster. "You say he can hit?" queried the president. “He sure can hit," answered Brownie. "You say he can throw like Jim my Archer?" queried the president. “Well, I wouldn't say that, but he sure has a strong arm and a true one." “You say he is fast on the bases'" queried the president. "He looked fast and he sure did get around lively alter foul balls." “Does he fight?" queried Presi dent Murphy. "He's mighty aggressive," an swered Brown. "Then, what is the matter with him?" demanded Mr. Murphy. “He's bald,” answered Brownie. "Then he's an old man?" queried the West Side magnate. "No, lie isn't. That is, he isn't ■so old that he couldn't catch for many years. Lost his hair when he was mighty young. Some sickness or other." “Then, what has his baldness to do with it?" queried Mr. Murphy. "A whole lot to my notion. I don't like a ball .player who hasn't got a lot of hair. Especially a catcher, who I will have to pitch to someday. Roe ember Jack Ryan?” “Quite well," from President Murphy. ♦ ♦ ♦ <>]_T E was catching with the Gar dinale when T Was pitching there. 1 was in a real pitchers' bat tle one afternoon.

Gust of wind caught his cap and removed it just as he was about to make the catch. He was bald. But he didn't want everybody to know it. Just then some fellow in the stand howled for him to put his cap on: that lie was half un dressed. Ryan was so flustered that he put his big mitt on top of his iu-ad to cover his baldness and let the ball fall. That batter hit a. homer, anil, since wo didn't score in our part of the inning, we lost the game. No, sir: I'm against bald catchers. Don't think this fellow will .do." Os course. Brownie hasn't the last word in the matter. Said catcher will be looked over by one of the Cub regular scouts. It is a certain ty that he will not be Brown's pal if he is purchased. * ♦ ♦ V T Ol’ think that Brownie's story 1 of Jack Ry an an * xaggi-ra tion? But ball players certainly are touchy concerning their hair or lack of it. They figure that the moment a min begins to lose his hair the fans will think he is get ting old. And the fans don't like old ball players. If they are play ing groat ball, it's all right. But let I'lle of the bald fellows make a few bad plays ami the fans are after him. With the result that a decidedly high forehead sometimes becomes a mighty touchy proposi tion with a ball' player. ♦ * * ♦ ■p*RANK ISBELL almost bix>ke up 1 a presentation party on the South Side one afternoon. It was some big day ami one of the players was called to the plate to receive a bunch of Howers along with a few presents. You know the habit of all the players to gath r around the lucky fellow and pi- -p over each others shoulders in an effort to get a look at th* present. Well, some fellow removed Is bell's cap ami r.-vealed that bald dome of his to the gaze of the thou sands. Isbell began swinging wild ly. Hail one of those blows landed it w oqjil have been necessary for the players to carry one of their companions aawy . Isbell never could quite sei* tin* humor of having his cap removed before the thousands He w as making enough errors to be panned with considerable consis tency without having the fact that he was bald and growing old em phasized.
