Show 111! ID CUNNING ARE GUT'S Hi Paul Armstrong Says Rube Marquard Had Attack of Auto Paralysis. By PAUL ARMSTRONG, Famous American Playwright. NEW YOP.IC. Oct. 7. The shadow of Geronlmo fell over the Brush stadium today. to-day. An Indian. dod by u dark day, did n dark deed. Gerenlmo with a handful of braves only caused the whole regular army to take his trail. He had little but cunning and courage. When the cunning cun-ning failed, ho had courage. A great thing, courage! Rubo Marquard, plcaso take note. Cunning Is n, grand thing. Strategy masquerades under his name frequently. For instance: Bender, tho wise old buck, pitching for Philadelphia, picked his brother redskin, Meyers, for a dangerous batter. Meyers went to bat four times. For tho first thrco times ho dug his spikes Into the earth, set himself nnd challenged. Three times tho cunning redskin shot one fnlr at his Jaw. In each Instance It unset the chief. It did not hit him Just made him wary. Tho fourth time he went to ba.t ho did not set so firmly. The cunning Indian observed It and dropped one over that looked the size of n toy balloon. It Is tmo It was outside, but had the chief been set ho would have hit it to Harlem. Marquard should know that Baker is a dangerous gent he has cnusc to remember. Very well. Baker came to bat. The 'Rube kept it outside till he got In the hole, then It crept over the plate till It was Juicy and waist high. BIng! And listen, thnt home run went exactly over the words "Champion of the World." The rest of the sign it cleared said something some-thing about something to smoke, but Baker's part of it wns "Champion of the World." If there was over a day mado for the Rube it was today. When tho day is dull and dark, tho man with Uie smoke should win galloping. But there Is such a thing as auto paralysis. Jeffries had It at Reno. Napoleon hnd It at Waterloo. Water-loo. The Rube had It good and plenty today. 'Tls well he won a bride before that game. |
