Oricket Still on the Go in Merrie England Cricket will never die in England, although it has been somewhat in eclipse for a few years owing to the repeated successes of the Australidns in the annual competitions for the now famous "ashes." England's tri- umph over the Antipodeans recently has given the ancient game a tremen- dous filip, and it will probably be found soon upon the stage and in the movies. Bir James Barrie's plays and books are studded with epigrams on the game. The famous dramatist used to play, and at one time had a team of his own, but he was never as capable an exponent as Sir Arthur onan Doyle and other literary crick- eters. Barrie's whimsical outlook on the gave 1s well known to students of his literary and dramatic works. There was the vicar in the "Admir- able Crichton," who apologized be- cause his parishidners were weak. in bbwling, and "Mr. Darl®g" in "Peter Pan," who was asked te contribute stories on the game because of the no- toriety he gained by living in his dog's kennel.'

Exit Fred Marberry as champion relief pitcher. Enter Joe Pate of the Philadelphia Athletics as his most logical succes- sor. A Champion and a "Comer" Manager, Stanley Harris of the Washington club has announced that Fred Marberry is to graduate from & mere finisher to a favored starter. bis play was lac king. Incidentally, he didn't seem It For nearly two seasons Marberry's chief object in life, as far as baseball Is concerned, was the saving 'of games for the Washington club, When a pitchér faltered in a tight game, he was invariably rushed to the rescue. Marberry's remarkable ability to hold the . opposition in chéck in the pinch played & prominent part in the two pennants won by Washington. Had an injuréd arm not JJerced him out of the 1925 world series, Washington probably would have emerged the victor in the annual classic. He Wins First Start. The collapse of the veteran Wash- ington pitching staff this your has convinced Manager Harris that gev- eral of the old-timers have lost the ability to go the route. They even waver too early in the game to use Marberry to advantage as relief pitcher. wn Realizing this, Manager Harris has decided to give Marberry a thorough chance to win himself a job as a re- gular starter. His first opportunity of the season eame July 5th against the Boston Red Sox. He worked impressively and gained a 3-2 win over the tail enders. : Curiously enough, it was the first game Marberry has been pormitted to start since the world series of 1924. . greatest rellef pitchers of all time. Even as a regular, Marberry, who is a glutton for work, is almost certain to be called on in a pinch. "The toughest thing about start- ing 2 ball game and then finishing it, rather than working a few innings, is the difference in the way you must piten," says Marberry. "As relief pitcher I have made a practice of putting all n#7 swuft on every » realizing I must hold the opposition. That ¥ind of pitching would soon kill off a starting pitcher. "I am sure my hardest task will be to readjust my style." Pate is 1026 Model. Now as to Joe Pate, Connie Mack's rather poorly southpaw. 'With the season halt over, 15 vic- tories scored hy the Athleties can be credited largely fo Pate's relie® work. In eight of these games he has been credited with the win, "while in seven others he has held safe the narrow margin bequeathed him when he entered the game. Pate doesn't appear to have much stuff on his ball but his fast one |i has a little hop that makes the bat: ters pop up, his change of pace is clever, and his knuckle ball practic: ally unhittable when he gets it over, But best of all, Pate has plenty of nerve. He is what is Known in base: ball as a "money pitcher," doing his best work when hardest pressed. Thé Athletics would have been lost! without Joe Pate this year. He is the 1926 model of Fred\ Marberry in the hero role. i Joe Pate boasts a most unusual record in the role of chief rescuer of the Athletics.
