G.~-Rube Marquard McOraw's eminent southpaw, who hung up a record for straight victories last season that will probably bo a mark to shoot at for some time to come. Is loose again upon a record i making expedition. The Itube has 'now compiled nine consecutive victories or nearly one-half of the num. her he unfurled last year, and Is still. going strong | It may be that Marquard will nevier again reach the mark he set himjself last season and which such hurl!ers as Walter Johnson and Joe Wood1 Ihave tried for and failed. But he has gone nearly half the distance |witnout any difficulty whatever, and 'has a good chance to equal if not .pass the nineteen straight which now* (stands as the record. The thing that stands vary much la his favor Just now is that tie - r.'nnf ?r.. gpintr nt ton speed. They I are winning JuBt as often as they - wee* ^rlv- laat vetr -rhpn ha jj I ed his large run, and what is more Ihey are apt to continue their pace through the balance of season, aswas the case last season, for they have already had their annual slump VjJ and are new In the ascendant. Marquard has changed his style r of pitching since he made his big run of nineteen Straight. He was under . ' <'j a heavy strain during that time last I year, because he tried to get every* 1 II man that faced him at the plate. He ; had not learned then to save himself ' for the tight place, but he now permits his teammates tOv do a little . ! work~whuiiuvei lie has a-losd, and. "'H[ like Matty, only uses all of hiB stuff ' when the situation demands it. For that reason he may be able to go along and win repeatedly without jIn any way impairing his arm and bringing on s slump such as .follow ed his streak last year.
