Great Hurler Declares Champions Unperturbed by Philly Spurt
G! * NTS NOT UNDER STRAIN, SAYS MARQUARD
By Rube Marquard.
(Star Southpaw of the Champion
Giants and Holder of the World's
Record for Consecutive Vic
tories at Nineteen Straight.)
CINCINNATI, Aug. 9.—Our second
Western trip did not prove so suc
cessful as did the first. The Phillies
gained some ground on us. But I do
not think our pennant chanees have
been mate, .ally damaged. Indeed, our
team has done remarkably well on the
road, and but for the unusual spurt
of the Quakers no one would be at
all anxious over the fact that the
race has tightened a hit.
Pittsburg jolted us In a manner I
did not expect. But then the Pirates
: did no better than two out of three:
, and goodness knows, it was about
(time they won a series from us at
; Forbes Field. It has been long
enough coming to be excused, and did
not wipe out the rough treatment we
'handed Clarke's men on their last call
fat the Polo Grounds.
As a usual thing, our club trims
the Pirates in Smoke Town, while
I the Buccanneers. in turn, make life
miserable for us at home. If these
1 conditions have been reversed it
makes practically no difference.
I was pretty sore when that Smoke
Town gang handed me a drubbing on
Tuesday. It broke a string of ten
straight victories. I didn't care to

^ "just as
botiiut; oi ail aub-
attempt tp better my championship
performance of a year ago That in
volves too much strain. Yet I should
have liked very much to beat the
eleven straight of young Boehling,
my illustrious contemporary of the
American League.
Within Game of Record.
I was somewhat piqued because of
the fact that I was within one game
of his mark. Only the fact that he
was a southpaw and a recruit aroused
my ambition to go out for a season’3
record. One day cured ail my dis
appointment and made me look upon
my reverse in a philosophical man
ner.
I Was much more disappointed
when Matty lost out on Wednesday.
We had all been pulling for the
"grand old master” to maintain his
wonderful performance when it be
came apparent that ho had a chance
for a record of straight wins. Hr
had rung up seven straight before lie
fell a victim to the Pirates.
Now, I think that these reverses
will do us both a lot of good. Neither
of us had been under any strain and
we should come hack stronger than
ever. It was simply a case of Pitts
burg catching us when, by all law
of percentSge, we were overdue to
lose.
I have learned from bitter expe
rience that record making is no good
thing for a pitcher who happens to
be a main dependency of a box corps.
The reaction from the first defeat un
settles him for a long time.
Phillies Hang On Grimly.
We have not won the pennant yet,
but Philadelphia will have the mer
riest time of its life catching us. To
my mind, the only chance of the
Quakers is for them to clean up the
games remaining with us. Such a
possibility, in the light of what we
have done to Dooin’s men to date,
seems far-fetched. Philadelphia has
played great ball lately and hung on
grimly to us. But. sooner or later,
the slump mus»t hit "them.
We haven’t had exactly what you
might call a slump on this trip, bul
we have had our share of the bad
breaks. Larry Doyle has been out of
commission most of the time, while
Chief Meyers is in New York with a
lacerated thumb. This pair has al
ways been of inestimable strength to
our team, both offensively and defen
sively. I think that we have done
I very well in the West considering
I their absence from the line-up.
I have never seen a man who was
I so set upon winning a pennant and a
I world’s champioship as is McGravv
, this season Our manager wishes to
take a real club around the world with
the White Sox. McGraw is continu
I ally drilling into us the importance
j of fighting every game to the last
ditch. He is not worrying over the
I Quakers, but he is trying to impress
upon all of us the importance of
never for a moment letting up in our
I work.
And I think he has all of us pulling
together as harmoniously as any club
j in the history of baseball. Every
' man on the club is doing his level
j best—more. I believe, to please the
• boss than for the financial considera-
tion of October’s classic.
Need of Backstop.
I McGraw's earnestness of purpose
BOXING
News of the Ring Game
hag been reflected in the trade he
negotiated just before he left Pitts
burg for this city. He traded Otis
Crandall for Larry McLean. With
Meyers out of commission McGraw
realized that the hitting strength of
his club would be affected. McLean
is a finished backstop and a very fine
sticker. Crandall, one of the grandest
fellows who ever drew breath, had
been of great service in former years
as a relief twirler and pinch hitter.
But McGraw was well provided
with pitching talent that could go the
route. He strengthened the club by
the trade. We were all very sorry to
bid good-bye to Otis. He wat* a* grand
influence. Many a time his pleasing
personality has helped to chase the
blues from camp when we happened
to meet with some unexpected mis
fortune.
I have said, in a previous article,
that our pitching staff is the be. c »t in
the major leagues. With the acquisi
tion of Larry McLean I will back our
catching department against any
other. x „
Heretofore, the class was naturally
ascribed to the Cubs in Archer and
Bresnahan. With the best pitchers
and two of the four greatest catchers
in the game, I think fandom will
agree that New York will boast the
greatest battery strength in its com
pany. ,
Upon the battery strength I con
fldently rely. I think it will prove an
insurmountable obstacle to Philadel
phia’s pennant hopes.

Manager Was Cause of Hot Wrangle in Chicago Gymnasium
WHITE WH1TNEY BOUT TO BE GRUDGE AFFAIR
‘THE OLD RELIABLE”
BOX BY MAIL60c
.NY.
By’Left Hook.
F RANK WHITNEY is hot under
the collar. Frank holds a per
sonal grudge against Nate
Lewis, manager of Charley White, and
says he will get his revenge when he
meets White at the Auditorium-
Armory Wednesday night.
Several days ago Whitney was in
Chicago. Nate Lewis find White were
also in the Windy City. Last Wednes
day afternoon Lewis* and White took
a trip to Whitney’s training quarters
to see the latter in ut-tion. They had
the opportunity. Frank donned tin
mitts with Packey McFarland for
three rounds and the air was full of
flying gloves.
• * *
A LARGE crowd witnessed the nf-
u*. fair and. when It was over, an
argument at once took place between
the White and Whitney factions.
Frank is also a great favorite In Chi
cago. Just as Whitney was about to
leave the gymnasium he encountered
Slip Lewis" One word followed the
other, and before many minutes hail
passed. Whitney told Lewis to get
White and he would fight him then
and there.
The wrangle started when Lewis
told Whitnev that he had heller get
into shape for Charley or he would
follow the path of Joe Thomas and
Jake Abel Evidently Lewis was try
ing to get Frank's goat. Whitney
was not in love with this line of talk
and it did not take him long to get
heated up.
...
<</”''o get vour oh implrai and i'll fight
VJ him right here." flashed Frank
when Lewis told him to get a repu
tation. "Thai's a go." retorted Lewis,
who started after White. Cooler heads,
however, prevailed and Lewis let
Whitney go on his way. ,
This information did not come from
Frank first-handed. True Frank ad
mitted to the quarrel arter a bit of
sharp questioning. A personal friend
of White wrote ns yesterday telling
of the encounter between the pair.
• * •
ill M sick of hearing those people

bet my end of the purse that White
doesn’t floor me. This fellow might be
a wonder, but, believe me, he isn’t
stopping Frank Whitney. And be
sides, don’t be surprised If Referee
Castro lifts my hand at the end of
the tenth round.
"Frank Whitney is going into to
morrow’s fight ready to do or die. This
Lewis fellow has gone far enough
with me and I look for hint to hr* a
pretty sad-eyed fellow after the fifth
round. -I have watched White fight
and know his style. On the other
hand, he has never seen me In action.
This talk of mine rnay seem like
boasting, but nevertheless I mean
every word of it. Anyway, those
who think White is going to heat
Whitney kindly he at the Auditorium
and they will get the surprise of their
life.’’
• • •
THE above quarrel between White
1 and Lewis means Jrhat the two
boys are to cl a eh in a grudge affair.
Lewis will send White after Frank
from the gong, and Whitney has never
backed up for an opponent in an At
lanta ring. Will he do it to-morrow
night? This is the question puzzling
fight fans around these parts.
White and Lewis will he here to
day Charley has finished training
and will step in the ring In the pink
of condition. Those who have seen
Whitney will tell you that Frank was
never better in his life. Therefore,
neither boy will have an excuse to
offer if defeated.
• • •
U\XS around town are going wild
1 over the flgpht. On nearly every
street corner the name White and
Whitney can he heard. Many of them
are for White and others for Frank.
Tickets for the fight are going fast
and a banner house should attend
the affair. The pasteboards can be
purchased at Shepherd’s Segar Store,
Pryor and Edgewood, and at The Rex.
