Marquard Signs With Federals To Jump Giants
Rube Marquard, star left hander, signed with the Brooklyn Federal league club yesterday after interlocking contracts tied him to the New York Giants. Giants secretary John P. Foster contends he remains under contract for 1915-16 and 1917 rights, while Baseball Players Fraternity head David Fultz warns Marquard will be expelled if true. The move fuels the Federal League disruption as Walter Johnson also signs with Joe Tinker's Chicago club, signaling a major shakeup in organized baseball and heightened interest in next season's independent league showcase. Johnson has been a Washington pillar since 1908, lifting the club into pennant contention after Clark Griffith took over in 1912.
