love of the game and be part of preserving baseball history Richard Marquard was beginning his eighth big league season in 1915 and had already accumulated a career’s-worth of nicknames ranging from “Rube” to “The $11,000 Lemon.” Marquard achieved a far-greater distinction when he threw what was then the earliest no-hitter in any big league season entering his eighth year with the New York Giants started the team’s second game of the campaign Jeff Tesreau led New York to a win over Brooklyn on Opening Day in the season opener the day before allowing three runs (none earned) in a 16-3 victory Marquard retired 19 of the first 20 batters he faced allowing only a second-inning walk to Brooklyn right fielder Casey Stengel The Dodgers would put two runners on base in the seventh inning via a walk and an error but Marquard pitched around the traffic to keep New York’s 1-0 lead intact Marquard singled home Fred Merkle to double his lead He would retire the side in order in both the eighth and the ninth ending the game by getting Zack Wheat to ground back to the box and wrapping up the Giants’ 2-0 victory “Here’s a man,” Stengel said at Mets Old Timers Day in 1970 The no-hitter was just the second in April in the Modern Era (post 1900) with the first coming from the arm of Cleveland’s Addie Joss on April 20 It would remain the earliest National League no-hitter by date until April 7 when Ken Forsch of the Astros no-hit the Braves Marquard starred for Class B Canton of the Central League in 1907 before winning 28 games for Class A Indianapolis in 1908 the Giants purchased Marquard’s contract for the much-ballyhooed price of $11,000 and brought Marquard to the big leagues for one start that September But Marquard went 5-13 for the Giants in 1909 and was 4-4 in just 13 games the following year Marquard’s promise paid off when he won 24 games and struck out a National League-leading 237 batters for the pennant-winning Giants The Giants placed him on waivers and he was selected by the Dodgers on Aug 31 as the same team he no-hit earlier in the season was making a push for the pennant Brooklyn fell short that year but Marquard remained with the club and went 13-6 with a 1.58 ERA to help the Dodgers win the pennant in 1916 and another in 1920 He finished his 18-year big league career with a 201-177 record and a 3.08 ERA Marquard was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1971 the author of “The Glory of Their Times” and a friend of Marquard delivered the Hall of Fame news via ship-to-shore radio Marquard and his wife were on a Caribbean cruise when he joined baseball’s greatest fraternity in Cooperstown I’m all choked up,” the Tampa Bay Times reported Marquard who had wondered aloud for years if he’d ever be elected telling Ritter on the call: “I can hardly talk.” Craig Muder is the director of communications for the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum ® I LOVE NEW YORK is a registered trademark and service mark of the New York State

season on September 3 against the Columbus Senators Weeks of cautious pitching after his sale to New York had earned Marquard complaints from across the Hoosier state but he silenced his critics with a string of dominant performances Born and raised in Cleveland, Marquard was a dominant semipro pitcher who spent his teenage years as a summertime batboy for the Cleveland Naps at League Park. He briefly pitched for two minor-league teams in 1906, but neither offered him a contract. Marquard’s bat-collecting days paid dividends prior to the 1907 season, when former Naps infielder Charlie Carr a Cleveland sporting goods store owner and player-manager of the Class A Indianapolis Indians signed the recently-turned-20-year-old to a contract Optioned to Canton of the Class B Central League earning him a ticket to Indianapolis for the 1908 season Marquard’s 17-6 record  over the first two months of that campaign demonstrated his ability to dominate at the highest level of the minor leagues Watkins saw an opportunity to cash in on the youngster’s success He agreed to trade Marquard to the Detroit Tigers but the deal fell through at the eleventh hour Brush agreed to allow Marquard to finish out the Association season with Indianapolis Newspaper reports of Marquard’s acquisition trumpeted the price New York paid to get him, with a United Press report declaring, “This is the greatest amount ever paid for any pitcher for any team in America and it was paid in cash.”3 Excited at the prospect of earning victories for New York, Marquard said, “[I]n the meantime I’ll go right on winning games for Indianapolis. That’s a habit I do not care to get away from.”4 Knocked out of his next start, on September 1, in the third inning,10 Marquard was back on the hill two days later as the Indianapolis Star invariably referred to them – were in Columbus at Neil Park to face the third-place Senators Both teams had 80 wins and were breathing down the neck of first-place Louisville Given an early lead, Marquard retired the side in order the first two innings, and “got stronger after that,” according to the Indianapolis News. “He worked deliberately, but not slowly, and with just enough confidence to make him most effective.”13 By the second inning, Columbus began bunting for hits, but Marquard and company hoovered up each one, turning them into outs.14 Hitless after five innings, Columbus almost broke Marquard’s spell in the sixth when left fielder Art Kruger returned one of his offerings back up the middle. Bush, touted by SABR biographer Jim Moyes as “one of the finest defensive shortstops of the Deadball Era,” tracked the ball down behind second base and nailed the speedy Kruger at first by a step.16 The final run of the game was registered by the Indians in the seventh on Livingston’s triple to center field and an opposite-field single to right by second baseman Otto Williams. Both hits came off spitballing reliever Lee Fairbanks,17 brought into the game for Geyer that inning The Columbus crowd mobbed Marquard, “soothing their injured feelings that they lost through wonderful pitching and such sparkling fielding that it was almost resistible.”22 The Indianapolis Star called Marquard “the biggest man in town tonight,” adding, “They are all taking off their hats to him.”23 Marquard’s no-hitter was the fifth thrown in the American Association that season. One of them was authored by an 18-year-old Kansas City Blues hurler who 10 days before this game made his major-league debut with the Boston Americans: Smoky Joe Wood.24 Marquard could only watch as Chicago overtook the Giants for the National League pennant This article was fact-checked by Mike Huber and copy-edited by Len Levin In addition to the Sources cited in the Notes the author consulted Joseph Wancho’s Rube Marquard biography in the SABR Biography Project Mansch’s Rube Marquard: The Life and Times of a Baseball Hall of Famer (Jeffersonville and game summaries published in the Indianapolis Star He also obtained pertinent information from the Baseball-Reference.com and Retrosheet.org websites 1 Lawrence S The Glory of Their Times (New York: Macmillan 2 “New York Secures Marquard,” South Bend (Indiana) Tribune 3 See for example “Rube Marquard Sold to Brush for $11,000,” Columbus (Indiana) Evening Republic 4 “Marquard Will Not Join Giants at Once,” Brooklyn Standard Union 5 “Marquard’s Change of Form Public Puzzle,” Indianapolis News 6 “Affairs of the Sporting World,” Richmond (Indiana) Palladium and Sun-Telegram 8 “Marquard Is Coming Star,” South Bend Tribune, August 28, 1908: 10. Griffith, who resigned from the Highlanders three months earlier, compared Marquard favorably to Christy Mathewson when Mathewson first joined the Giants Griffith suggested that if McGraw brought Marquard to New York and game him 10 days’ rest Marquard could be “a great factor in winning the pennant for New York.” 9 “Pitcher Marquard Has Again Gone Back,” Indianapolis News 10 “Toledo Puts Marquard in the Discard and Wins,” Fort Wayne News and Sentinel, September 2, 1908: 7. Earning the win for Toledo was southpaw Bill Lattimore the number-one pick in the 1907 minor-league player draft who’d appeared in a handful of games for the Naps earlier in the 1908 season 11 “The Rube Mowed ’Em Down,” Cincinnati Enquirer 12  “Small Talk of the Game,” Indianapolis Star 13  A.R 14 “At Last Rube Hurls No-Hit No-Run Game.” The Indianapolis Star took particular note of the defensive play of third baseman Bill Hopke whose “snap throw[s]” on slow rollers in the first and the third helped keep Columbus hitless through the first three frames 15 Various Indiana newspapers reported information about RBIs in 1908 but not until 1920 would Organized Baseball consider them to be an official statistic for example “Satisfied with Men,” Muncie (Indiana) Morning Star or “Ganzel Thinks Well of George ‘Dodey’ Paskert,” Evansville (Indiana) Courier 16 Jim Moyes, “Donie Bush,” SABR Biography Project, https://sabr.org/bioproj/person/donie-bush/ accessed January 2025;

Jun Jiang deputy division head at ICBC; Marquard; Jan Paul Van Pul senior payments advisor at ING; and was moderated by Tony Wood Marquard continued that there needs to be more exact metrics on commercial payments as the pain points are very specific to flows He then highlighted the need for public-private partnerships and collaboration: “I think we've made great progress in the last four years I think it's largely down to fintechs coming in and a general sense of competition against a backdrop of the roadmap which sets a sort of overall expectation do something about this I think the roadmap has been really helpful Van Pul agreed with Marquard on the need for more collaborative public-private partnerships He said that the G20 criteria on transparency accessibility is critical for all commercial businesses in international payments He continued that Swift APIs marked a significant change in the international payments ecosystem “The FSB has assigned the target for 75% of cross border payments to be with the end-beneficiary within an hour about 50% of the payments over Swift GPI are now reaching to the beneficiaries account within five minutes The cross-border industry has achieved a significant progress toward achieving the G20 target especially in improving transparency and increasing the speed,” Jiang explained Jiang stated that the G20 targets can only be achieved through collaboration and full implementation of industry-wide standards She added that ICBC is also using GPI trackers and operating according to this standard where payments can be tracked through the bank’s apps and site She continued that migrating to ISO 20022 is a key step to in making payments frictionless Van Pul pointed out what has been successful so far: “I am a bank but I think it's good that new entrants came in because it makes the banks proactively sharp but makes you learn learns to be really proactive towards your clients he mentions the growth of digital assets in Southeast Asia and their evolution of instant cross-border payments with BIS Nexus Depasse corroborated with the others on the importance of collaboration and transparency in achieving G20 targets and he furthered that there is a need for consistent implementation and business intelligence tools to track payments and align with the objectives He said that it is important for financial institutions to be able to track their payments and initiatives: “The Commonwealth Bank has piloted a series of G20 dashboards within the GPI Observer Insights the business intelligence suite of products and services extract exactly where I am and understand from a GPI tracker perspective the key insights I need and report to my management to see if I'm aligned with G20 targets.” When touching on payments collaboration in their respective markets Marquard specified that fintechs in Australia are going beyond the minimum requirements for AML and compliance and therefore the partnership between fintech and financial institutions goes more smoothly thanks to due diligence during the onboarding process fintechs and banks learn from each other – fintechs are more scalable and dynamic banks have a stronger foundation and concentrate on compliance risks and both can support one another when it comes to innovation all the panelists agreed that collaboration and industry-wide standardisation are vital to achieve G20 targets moving forward Welcome to Finextra.

(WSAW) - August of 1999 — Then-President Bill Clinton’s impeachment trial began in the Senate Bruce Willis left people questioning everything in the thriller ‘The Sixth Sense,’ Christina Aguilera claimed the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 with her breakthrough hit ‘Genie in A Bottle,’ and on August 20 two women and a toddler were last seen at a babysitter’s on the outskirts of Nekoosa but it would take years for an investigation to begin “There’s people out there that do know what happened but they don’t want anybody to know,” said a person who agreed to go by Kate for this interview “I have this child and the mother has not come back,” said Detective Brian Machon we lost the relationship between also siblings It’s not illegal to move and start over especially if you’re an adult people drop everything and everyone on purpose “I think there was foul play in this and she’s probably gone.” 21-year-old Junelle Marquard and 27-year-old Dayna Menger are no strangers to police there’s a history of some thefts,” said Machon “I think we would probably classify today as really but I mean minor offenses — nothing that someone would run away from the law for years.” Junelle lived in Wisconsin Rapids and Dayna lived in an apartment with two of her three kids in Nekoosa which is actually just a stone’s throw away from the police department she relied on babysitters to help from time to time and Junelle dropped off Dayna’s youngster daughter “So this particular babysitter in Saratoga it was fairly common for that one child to be watched by her.” we thought it was odd that a mom would leave her child for more than a day without saying something or at least leaving extra clothes this was pretty normal for Dayna — at first “I think she had said that it would not be uncommon for Dayna to be gone for a couple of days but started to get beyond the normal,” Machon said Days went by and 4-year-old Sara was never picked up so eventually but eventually police said Dayna’s parole officer contacted Nekoosa PD The three technically weren’t reported missing then but that’s information we’ll get into in a little bit It was enough to raise a couple of eyebrows though “One of the Nekoosa officers went over to the apartment and talked to the manager over there and everything appeared normal,” said Nekoosa Police Chief Shawn Woods He was one of the original detectives on the case and has since passed it over to Det Little Sara is put into foster care and is eventually adopted Sara and Dakota have a big sister and for her protection and privacy “We didn’t even know they were dropped off until she was adopted,” Kate said At the time of Dayna and Dakota’s disappearance Kate was in second grade and living with her grandmother “I felt like she really had everybody’s best interest at heart even though she didn’t always make the best decisions Kate doesn’t remember exactly when she found out that her family was missing but she does remember a very cryptic phone call from her mom “She said that she loved me and that she did something really And my grandma ended up taking the phone and said that you know she said that she was leaving and she wasn’t coming back.” We wanted to know what the police thought when she told them even though the three weren’t technically reported missing police would’ve reached out to people closest to them including Dayna’s oldest daughter but it’s not a stretch to think she would’ve had some memories or information worth contributing I wasn’t interviewed until the end of 2017,” Kate said “That was the first time I’ve ever had a conversation with anybody.” 2017 — 18 years after her sister was left abandoned at the babysitter’s It was in 2004 that Dayna’s brother reported her missing but by then investigators were five years behind It’s hard not to wonder what would’ve happened if they had started digging in when the babysitter reported the situation to human services and well that I would have done that investigation at that point how often are people just abandoning children Why didn’t the police start an investigation then “There are certain criteria we have to follow,” Machon said “The family member reporting someone missing really is a key piece to this.” By the time police started their official search Which means whatever possible evidence was inside Police say the five years between when they were last seen and when they were reported missing plus the women’s risky lifestyle are two huge roadblocks in the investigation “There were some thefts of money from family and I think some of the people closest to them had just washed their hands of them at least at that point and said You stole for me.’ This kind of activity and behavior that existed all the way up until the time that her brother came and reported her missing.” that can influence how people on the outside think of their situation and Kate wants to set the record straight for anyone listening “I think part of what’s very frustrating for the family is when you see these people just assuming that nobody cared because everybody cares how do you know where to even begin looking?” Machon said they began by establishing a family tree and then formulated a plan learning who had the most contact with Dayna and Junelle “We’re not just interviewing a person one time,” Machon stated then interview someone else that gives us more information that we have to circle back to someone we already interviewed So it’s a lot of interviews and re-interviews of people.” the detective said they’re still searching for “the vehicle” they suspect is involved with this case and are searching databases in hopes of locating it but they wouldn’t say whose vehicle they’re looking for or what it looks like Nekoosa PD did say though that Dayna had connections in Milwaukee and Kate remembers her mom leaving for days to spend time there if any considerable information was gathered from that part of the state we’ve gathered information from that area and we continue to,” said Machon August 20 will mark 24 years since the women and Dakota were last seen the chief and detective shared candidly that it’s highly unlikely their disappearance was voluntary “I definitely feel like there was some kind of situation where she probably felt threatened that she had to leave but I think her intention would have been to come back I truly believe that I think there was fear.” has anyone ever been considered a person of interest “I would say that we’ve developed people or persons of interest,” Machon stated “We’re not at a point to discuss those people publicly but we’re still working on figuring out their involvement or what they may or may not have to do with this.” there’s not a lot of information out there Nekoosa PD said in all honesty that their case is complex “We’ve created essentially a task force to work on this We have investigators from the City of Wisconsin Rapids assigned the Wood County Sheriff’s Department assigned So we have many skilled investigators dedicated to this case.” The police weren’t the only ones hard at work though For nine years Kate was busy following her own paper trail to find Sara “I had to do my own investigation to determine who she went to with foster care home reached out to that foster care home to figure out where she went from there And then I was able to find out her last name of what she was adopted as and then I was able to white pages that at the time That might be the one silver lining in all of this they didn’t need to lose a sister too and it helped that Kate was strong enough to push through and find Sarah It’s unclear what forced Dayna and Junelle to drop off Sara and take Dakota and never look back What we do know is that their friends and family are not going to stop looking for answers “I think the biggest part is knowing that there are people out there that are still looking for answers,” said Kate “We’d love to have that closure of what really occurred and if there’s anybody any any possible thought process or memory or anything that could potentially lead to more questions and possibly answers I would just really encourage people to speak up.” She is 6′1″ and has hazel eyes along with a scar on her left arm from a lighter burn She has several cross tattoos on her left shoulder and one on her right

song of gratitude to someone for keeping the singer grounded during tumultuous times when Seefried suggested changing it to a song "more about believing in yourself instead of giving that power to someone else," Marquard says she knew instantly it was the right direction "I was inspired to write "Not a Rolling Stone" when I needed self-assurance I was in a transition period in my life and was getting lost in people's opinions of what I should be doing with my career," Marquard tells The Boot "We ended up with an anthem about empowering yourself and I hope people can see themselves in my

I keep wanting to use the word ‘ownership’ but there’s a kind of ownership that Atlas of Emotion has of itself: that it gives itself up to things but at the same time it also makes a decision about how to tell a story Maybe that is the thing about the cultural cartographer that they both give themselves up to things and at the same time have to navigate a path through such environments Giuliana Bruno: My work is very much about navigation; it is about routes which has sometimes been terribly demonized is dear to me: because it offers your inner senses an instrument of guiding which can take both the author and the reader through rugged and ruined terrains The book was written as a kind of journey of palimpsest-like assemblages so it is not a random accumulation of things As I moved through different layers of material How do I keep this navigation going?’ The method of the navigation is important to me and I prefer the kind of charts that one takes on a journey with oneself that unravel as you go on the journey so that they are part of the voyage And this journey is also a narrative itinerary for I am concerned that a book tells a story Narration is historically part of cartography concerns the story of a place and has at times even embraced fictional forms of representation the art of mapping was an imaginary cartography – it was not simply a charting of real places but it understood the relation between a real place and an imaginary one I touch upon that form of liminal connection that is so deeply important to the visual arts and to film which do address reality but also dress it in fantastic forms you have to be able to navigate this story the relation between the inner imagination and the outer expression The map that most inspired Atlas of Emotion and its ‘journeys in art literally the map of the land of tenderness designed way back in 1654 by Madeleine de Scudéry This map of the land of affects is interesting because it is a very open map This is a map of a specific place but also represents the place of imagination And it is a map that wants you to navigate it that needs somebody to actually enter the territory and move through it rather than form a single image of a place to try and imagine what was behind the boundary of the frame and your curiosity would pull you towards some terrae incognitae So this was an important model to me in the creation of this kaleidoscope of different cultural sites and in thinking of how space becomes this repository in which I could move in time but also across different kinds of media This map was also important because of how it visualized affects and how it represented an itinerary of emotions In Scudéry’s map there was a vast terrain punctuated by little towns and one was supposed to move from one to the other This mode of representation became a guide in my way of theorizing the relation between motion and emotion in the visual and spatial arts and especially in writing about film’s own emotion pictures This map allowed me actually to visualize how within space itself there are different materials and fabrics that form the various itineraries you follow as a critic it is significant that the Situationists were inspired by Scudéry’s map which was reprinted in the Internationale situationniste in 1959 the model for the kind of psychogeography that rethinks spaces in relation to fluid assemblages you can connect places in a city or on a cultural map not by way of real distances but by way of events that have been experienced in the imagination and in the reality of the people who have lived through them in the space You can see motion in culture as deeply related to living space and lived temporality And you can also understand that emotion itself is a movement and then movement is something that touches a person touches something profoundly deep within the person which enables a deeper social transformation In this way you can understand the work of affects beyond physiognomy and emotion not just as one single image or state of mind but as the possibility of moving across different states of mind This is an edited excerpt from “Cultural Cartography Interview with Giuliana Bruno,” in Marquard Smith ed. Visual Culture Studies: Interviews with Key Thinkers (London: Sage But even though he had put the controversy behind him before the 1915 season started Marquard had no way of knowing what kind of reception awaited him when he first took the mound before a home crowd on April 15 The matter was not fully resolved until February 25 when Marquard joined his Giants teammates on the train for spring conditioning in Marlin Springs and the Tip-Tops received a reimbursement of their $1,500 bonus payment Throwing a no-hitter marked a solid first step “There were no cheers for the Rube when he took the mound at the start,” the Brooklyn Daily Standard Union noted. “But at the end, he came near being mobbed by grateful fans. As he assisted in retiring the last Dodger in the ninth, the crowd surged out for the diamond.”12 and scooping up a bunt and throwing to first on the run to record an out in the sixth The Giants left runners in scoring position in the fifth and seventh innings “Was there a thing [Marquard] could have done that would have restored him to the good graces of the fans so quickly as this no hit, shutout game?” asked the Standard-Union. “Hardly.”14 the Giants had a 2-0 start for the first time since 1905 but the seven consecutive losses that followed previewed the rest of New York’s season more accurately though Brooklyn eventually righted the ship The no-hitter added to Marquard’s collection of accomplishments, which included a 21-inning complete-game victory over the Pirates in 1914 and 19 straight victories to open the 1912 season Fans hoped the no-hitter was a sign that Marquard would pitch more like he did while winning 73 games between 1911 and ’13 going 9-8 before McGraw grew tired of his inconsistencies and released him to the team he had no-hit “Marquard’s case is a point of discipline,” McGraw said on August 29 after refusing to grant the pitcher his outright release. “I am tired of having high salaried stars loaf on me, only to work their heads off for other managers as soon as they have been transferred.”15 The Giants initially assigned Marquard to the Toronto Maple Leafs of the International League on August 25 after he cleared waivers,16 but he refused the demotion and suggested he would rather retire than report to the minors Brooklyn sat only 2½ games out of first place a player had to be under contract by August 31 executives for the Giants and Dodgers huddled and worked out a $2,500 agreement to send Marquard to Brooklyn even though the Dodgers had passed at that same price when the Giants first placed him on waivers Marquard picked up wins in his first two relief appearances but overall he went 2-2 with a 6.20 ERA in six appearances to finish the campaign Brooklyn faltered late in the season and closed the year in third place at 80-72 The Giants ended up 69-83 and at the bottom of the standings for the first time since 1902 He was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1971 This article was fact-checked by Joseph Wancho and copy-edited by Len Levin In addition to the sources cited in the Notes the author consulted the Baseball-Reference.com and Retrosheet.org websites for pertinent material and box scores He also used information obtained from news coverage by The Sporting News https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/NY1/NY1191504150.shtml https://www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/1915/B04150NY11915.htm 1 “Wards Return Rube Marquard to Giants,” New York Tribune 2 “Rube Marquard Who Has Stirred Up a Hornets’ Nest,” Brooklyn Citizen 3 Joe Vila “Rube Marquard’s Stunt Gets Him in Bad With All Hands,” The Sporting News adding: “If contracts are worth anything Marquard must play with the Giants It has none of the features which rendered the old style contracts invalid.” David L released scathing remarks on the situation “Information has reached me that Rube Marquard in spite of the fact that he is under a binding contract with the New York club for the season of 1915 has signed with the Brooklyn Federal League club as I feel sure the Brooklyn people would not knowingly sign a player under these circumstances he will unquestionably be expelled from the Baseball Players’ Fraternity as the directors absolutely will not countenance any such disregard of their obligations by its members.” Heywood Broun “Rube Marquard Jumps to the Brooklyn Feds,” New York Tribune 5 “Rube Marquard 6 Around the same time Marquard agreed to terms with the Tip-Tops, Washington Senators ace Walter Johnson considered a move to the Chicago Whales.

On April 20, against the Brooklyn Superbas, Marquard relieved Jeff Tesreau in the ninth inning Tesreau had given up three runs and Brooklyn had taken a 3-2 lead over the New Yorkers Marquard recorded all three outs in the ninth and retreated to the dugout to watch the Giants score two in the bottom of the frame to win the win went to the pitcher who had pitched the most innings Marquard would get the win since he was the pitcher of record when the Giants took the lead “I suppose the great thing is to find the weaknesses of the batsmen you’re pitching against,” said Marquard I used to keep a book and watch each fellow like a hawk when he’d come up to the plate and I’d mark down in that book just what he couldn’t do I’d find some of ’em couldn’t hit a fastball “Then players talk among themselves and swap experiences, for the one thing a ballplayer talks is shop. You never seem to talk anything else when you play ball. So you get to know the different players like an old pair of shoes. Then on a dark day, I blacken the ball.”2 Asked what he meant, Marquard replied, “I chew tobacco so when I spit on the ball, it blackens up. Then I get it against my dark glove and a batsman can’t see it.”3 Richard William Marquard was born on October 9 Fred worked as the chief engineer for the City of Cleveland The elder Marquard believed that for a person to get anywhere in life education was the key to unlock many doors of opportunity Richard did not see the advantages of gaining a formal education instead telling his father that he wanted to become a ballplayer But Fred Marquard was steadfast in his stance against the career of a baseball player Marquard spent many of his days as a youth at League Park, serving as a batboy for the Cleveland Broncos, who eventually became the Naps when Nap Lajoie joined the team in 1902 from Philadelphia and became the manager in 1905 Marquard relented and defeated Keokuk the next day But Frisbee wanted to see Marquard pitch one more time before he handed any money over to the young pitcher Marquard went to work for the Telling Ice Cream Company and pitched for its baseball team in a semipro league Indianapolis optioned Marquard to the Canton Chinamen of the Central League in 1907. He led the circuit with 23 wins. The next season, he joined the Indianapolis club. According to Marquard, it was here that he got the nickname Rube.7 His sweeping delivery reminded a sportswriter at the Indianapolis Star of Rube Waddell The star pitcher of the Philadelphia Athletics was also a southpaw and a future member of the National Baseball Hall of Fame Marquard gave a good account of himself at Indianapolis in 1908 three of them shutouts on his way to a 28-19 record with a 1.69 ERA Marquard’s pitching ability reached the big leagues Marquard pitched a three-hitter to defeat Louisville After the game, an auction was held, and the Indianapolis Indians were the hosts. The scene was described by the Evening World. “The Detroit club put in a claim for him and had the first call. Then John R. Brush, dipped in his oar. Garry Herrmann put in a bid, and even (Chicago owner Charles) Murphy of the Cubs took a hand in the game Marquard was immediately dubbed the “the $11,000 peach” by the Giants or “the $11,000 beauty” by others. “Whew, $11,000,” he said, “you can’t prove it by me that there is that much money in the world. Guess there must be, however, and I hope to have that and a little bit more one of these times. I am glad, naturally, that I have been sold to a first-class club, and I think I will be able to win my share of games.”10 The Giants continued their spending, acquiring catcher Chief Meyers from St Paul of the American Association for $6,000 The $17,000 paid for two players was a staggering amount for that period Marquard was to stay with Indianapolis until the completion of their season The “$11,000 peach” was now being called the “$11,000 lemon.” But McGraw told Marquard to ignore “the roasts” from the grandstand McGraw and his coach Wilbert Robinson went to work on Marquard McGraw got Marquard to change to pitching overhand a former catcher who was a teammate of McGraw’s on the Baltimore Orioles worked on getting Marquard to throw first-pitch strikes Robby also tutored Marquard on how to mix his pitches The results were immediate. Marquard posted a 24-7 record with a 2.50 ERA in 1911. He threw a pair of one-hitters three days apart, first beating St. Louis at the Polo Grounds on August 28 and then coming back on September 1 at the Baker Bowl in Philadelphia Marquard struck out 10 Phillies on his way to the win Marquard led the National League with 237 strikeouts in 1911. The Giants won the pennant with a record of 99-54. Christy Mathewson won 26 games and the two pitchers combined for more than half of the Giants’ wins It was the first of three straight flags for the Giants who broke the stranglehold the Cubs had for much of the previous few years Those three pennants would be followed by three straight losses for McGraw’s bunch in the World Series Against the Philadelphia Athletics in 1911, it was surely a battle of titans: McGraw vs. Connie Mack. They had gone up against each other previously in the 1905 Series with the Giants besting the A’s in five games Christy Mathewson won three games in that 1905 Series, and he continued his mastery of the A’s in 1911, winning Game One by a score of 2-1. The Game Two pitching matchup was Rube Marquard against Eddie Plank. The game was in a 1-1 tie until Frank Baker smacked a two-run home run delivering a 3-1 verdict in favor of the Athletics Marquard had been instructed by McGraw not to pitch fastballs to the power hitter was not given the moniker Home Run Baker for no reason Baker’s jolt was just the lift the Athletics needed, as they defeated the Giants in six games. Marquard, who also started Game Five, was victimized by another Rube in that game. Rube Oldring connected for a three-run homer against him But it was not without some difficulty as Pittsburgh collected 16 hits off him in the loss Marquard also found time around then to star in a short silent movie titled Rube Marquard Wins. The film depicts a tale of a baseball pitcher who is coerced by gamblers into throwing a baseball game. When Marquard refuses, he is kidnapped by the gamblers, but is saved by his girlfriend – just in time to win the game.13 The Giants won the 1912 NL pennant by 10 games over Pittsburgh. Their opponent in the fall classic was the Boston Red Sox. The Red Sox won the series in eight games (one was a tie). Marquard won two games for the Giants. On both occasions, he outdueled Red Sox righty Buck O’Brien Marquard also took part in vaudeville acts McGraw and Mathewson had also taken part in stage productions and many of baseball’s biggest stars hammed it up for the audiences was seeking an athlete to pair with his wife A real-life romance developed between Marquard and Seeley Kane grew suspicious of their relationship and accused them of having an affair He divorced Seeley and the pitcher and the actress married The Marquard-Seeley affair was nationwide news; the tale of this love triangle was told in a book by Noel Hynd Marquard & Seeley: A Scandalous Ragtime Romance Marquard threatened to leave the Giants and stay in the acting biz Of course it was just a ploy to get more money (maybe the acting did pay off after all) He inked his new deal with his bride by his side in late March of 1913 Marquard went out and pitched well for the Giants posting his third consecutive year of 20 or more wins with a 23-10 record and a 2.50 ERA in 1913 Marquard won nine games in a row from June 28 to July 27, lowering his ERA from 2.79 to 2.32. Rube pitched against Chief Bender in Game One of the World Series against the Athletics and for the second time in three years kicked sand in the face of McGraw’s boys The Giants won on Larry Doyle’s two-run homer in the top of the 21st But Marquard had to fight tooth and nail for one win pitching over two games worth of innings to secure it it appeared that many of the eight teams that made up the Federal League a rival league to both the National and American Leagues established in 1913 The clubs were feeling the pinch from paying players high salaries; building new ballparks and the cost of doing business were squeezing some clubs financially won the pennant in 1914 but because of low attendance were moved to Newark Marquard started the 1915 season on the right foot. He tossed a no-hitter against the Brooklyn Robins on April 15 at the Polo Grounds. Rube struck out two and walked two in the 2-0 victory. Marquard backed his fine pitching performance with a single to right field in the seventh inning that scored Fred Merkle from second base The Giants, who had been on top for so long, were seeing some chinks in the old armor. Mathewson was not as effective and Marquard was running hot and cold, with a 9-8 record in late August. With the exception of Larry Doyle, who would lead the league in batting with a .320 average, Fred Merkle, and Dave Robertson The bench was not providing positive alternatives and the Giants After the Giants lost four straight to the Cardinals they were in unfamiliar territory: the cellar of the National League who was acquired that day from the Chicago Cubs Marquard was credited with the win as the Robins came from behind to win But Marquard was knocked around quite a bit in that final month of 1915 The 1916 season provided plenty of excitement for fans of the senior circuit and Robins tussled all season for first place in the standings After the Robins swept the Cubs in a three-game series they opened a three-game set against the Phillies beginning on September 28 The Phillies won the first game, 8-4, as Pete Alexander won his 32nd game of the year the Robins and Phillies played a doubleheader on September 30 going the distance in beating Philadelphia 6-1 Marquard struck out seven and scattered three hits He supported his win with his first triple of the year Brooklyn was now a half-game ahead in the standings That was the last regular-season game Marquard would pitch in 1916 He struck out 107 batters and walked 38 in 205 innings pitched Brooklyn closed the season against the Giants at Ebbets Field. The Phillies and Braves were scheduled for a six-game series at the Baker Bowl But the Robins took three of four from New York and the Phils dropped four of six to the Braves The Brooklyn Robins were headed to their first World Series There they would meet the Boston Red Sox. But the party was short-lived as Boston made quick work of their NL counterparts, winning the series in five games. Marquard lost Game One to Ernie Shore and Game Four to Dutch Leonard although Marquard led the club in victories He also led the team in strikeouts with 117 ending on Labor Day because the federal government’s World War I “work-or-fight” order decimated major-league rosters serving for three months before he was discharged after the war ended in November The 1918 season was a role reversal for Marquard. He was 9-18 when the season came to a halt. He lost five of those games to last-place St. Louis. The 18 defeats tied him for the National League lead with Joe Oeschger of Philadelphia Marquard had an unfortunate ending to his 1919 season. In the fifth inning of a game on June 9 at Redland Field in Cincinnati he was rounding second base on a hit when his spikes hooked into the bag Burleigh Grimes was the anchor of the Brooklyn pitching staff Grimes had his first 20-win season in 1920 Five other Brooklyn pitchers had double-digit wins The Robins finished in first place in the NL and faced the Cleveland Indians. Marquard was chosen to start Game One, in part because he had experience pitching in the World Series, but also because he could neutralize Cleveland’s left-handed hitters. Of course, Cleveland manager Tris Speaker countered that move with a right-handed-heavy lineup Stan Coveleski pitched for Cleveland and the Indians won the opener, 3-1 Whether Robinson really considered Marquard to start Game Seven will never be known. His arrest before Game Four was a huge distraction to the Robins His subsequent appearance in Common Pleas Court was a painful reminder as well After Game One he was removed from the rotation and pitched out of the bullpen coming on the heels of the 1919 Black Sox scandal Eight Chicago players were indicted just before the 1920 season ended and its memory was still fresh in the public’s mind And now there was Marquard with a ticket-scalping charge “I am through with him, absolutely,” said Brooklyn President Charles Ebbets. “He hasn’t been released, however, and if anyone wants him, he can have him. But Marquard will never again put on a Brooklyn uniform.”19 True to Ebbets’s word, the Robins traded Marquard to Cincinnati for pitcher Dutch Ruether on December 15 married Naomi Wigley from Baltimore in 1921 Marquard got a real good sense for the second division the next four years. He was traded with infielder Larry Kopf to the Boston Braves for pitcher Jack Scott on February 18 Marquard posted a 25-39 record and a 4.44 ERA The Braves never finished higher than fifth place from 1922 to 1925 Rube’s last season in the major leagues was 1925 he compiled a 201-177 record and a 3.08 ERA he totaled 1,593 strikeouts and walked 858 batters Marquard was a player or player-manager in the minor leagues He managed Providence in the Eastern League in 1926 Jacksonville of the Southeastern League in 1929 and 1930 and Wichita-Muskogee of the Western League in 1933 In 1932 Marquard was a coach for the Atlanta Crackers He put out a 12-page pamphlet for youths titled “How to Pitch.” His philosophy for a successful pitcher was control “From my experience of 25 years in baseball,” he wrote “I have learned that control is 90 percent of successful pitching The entire importance of pitching lies in ability to pitch to a ‘spot’ and put the ball where you want it “What I mean by control is not simply aiming the ball across the plate or splitting the middle, but pitching to a batter’s weakness. Every batter has a weakness, no matter how good a hitter he may be. A smart pitcher soon discovers that.”20 Marquard spent his later years working as a pari-mutuel clerk at racetracks in Maryland He was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown on August 9 after being voted into the Hall by the Veterans Committee an economist and a professor at New York University Each chapter contains an interview with a former player Many of the players were from the Deadball Era and the book is widely considered a classic in baseball literature The first entry is of Rube Marquard. The interview has been considered by some as a fabrication by Marquard, or at least a story containing hyperbole. Sportswriter Joe Posnanski has questioned Marquard’s place in the Hall of Fame. In his blog on March 27, 2014, Posnanski pointed to the Marquard chapter in Ritter’s book as the reason for his enshrinement.21 Marquard related to others in interviews that his real name was Richard LeMarquis. This fact was erroneously reported in The Sporting News’s obituary of Marquard in its June 21 It is also mentioned in the book written by Noel Hynd He said he changed his name to Marquard when he started to play professional baseball A quick check of the US Census and Cleveland city directories of the late nineteenth century proves this untrue One person whom Marquard held in high esteem was McGraw. Despite their differences, Marquard admired his former manager. “Take Mr. McGraw,” he said. “What a great man he was! The finest and grandest man I ever met. He loved his players and his players loved him. Of course he wouldn’t stand for any nonsense. When he laid down the law, you better abide by it.”23 1 “A Talk With Marquard 2 Ibid 3 Ibid 4 Lawrence Ritter The Glory of Their Times (New York: Macmillan and Company 5 Ritter 6 Ritter 7 Ritter 8 “The Sporting World,” Huntington (Indiana) Herald 9 “Rube Marquard Was Turned Down by Naps,” Evening World 10 “Marquard Will Get Big Sum as New York Giant,” Indianapolis News 11 “McGraw Plans to Use Marquard and Durham,” Indianapolis News 12 Norman L Connie Mack and the Early Years of Baseball (Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press 13 “Marquard Is Hero of Moving Film Drama,” Pittsburgh Press 14 Charles C 15 Charles C John McGraw (Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press 16 Arrest Marquard for Speculating 17 “Robins Sure of Victory Today,” Cleveland Plain Dealer 18 Marquard’s Days With Robins Ended,” New York Times 19 Ibid 20 Marquard player file 21 http://joeposnanski.com/the-worst-pitcher-in-the-hall/ 22 Larry Mansch, “Rube Marquard,” SABR BioProject, accessed June 15, 2017.

Bahls was advised by Freshfields Copyright © 1997–2025 IPE International Publishers Limited Site powered by Webvision Cloud Rube Marquard is the worst pitcher in the Hall of Fame I was going to say “probably the worst” or “arguably the worst” but let’s be honest: It’s a lot more than probable And while “arguably” casts a wide net — anything is arguable — there are not many good arguments that another pitcher is the worst in the Hall I suppose you could argue one of the relievers — Bruce Sutter or Rollie Fingers — were less valuable because of their roles and I guess you could try to fight for Jesse Haines or Catfish Hunter as being slightly worse than Marquard But they all seem like losing arguments to me And this leads to the question: How did Rube Marquard get into the Hall of Fame How did Marquard get elected when Larry French didn’t when Claude Osteen and Milt Pappas and Curt Simmons and Charlie Root and Dutch Leonard and Jim Perry didn’t (these are the 10 players listed as most similar to Rube Marquard and every one of them has more Wins Above Replacement than Marquard) None of those players came CLOSE to get elected comes down to one of those topics that fascinate us here: Narrative comes down to the simple fact that Rube Marquard could tell one helluva story Richard Marquard may have been born Richard LeMarquis — like with almost every Marquard story there seem to be different opinions — but it is certain that his father was the chief engineer for the city of Cleveland in the late 1800s Cleveland was one of the biggest and most important cities in America The city was was growing so fast than it went from being the 11th largest city in the 1880 census to fifth in 1920 Which is to say that Fred Marquard was an important man doing important work and he had no time and no use for pointless activities like baseball baseball was the only thing that seemed to interest his son Richard The young Marquard was unnaturally tall and gangly (everyone in his family was tall; his sister would grow to 6-foot-2) and it seems that from a young age he could throw a baseball hard Richard would recall fierce arguments with his father “How can you make a living as a ballplayer I don’t understand why a grown man would wear those funny-looking suits in the first place.” Marquard wanted to be a big league baseball player with a white-hot ambition that embarrassed his father he sneaked out of the house and rode the trains like a hobo to a baseball tryout in Iowa he endured an Oliver Twist like existence and was alternately saved and cheated by various Dickensian characters Marquard’s memory of his first baseball tryout which is included in Glory of Their Times and various other places what you find again and again as you look back at the way sports (and news) were covered and consumed in those days — truth was never the point You have heard the line from the movie “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance:” “You’re not going to use the story?” the U.S Ransom Stoddard (played by Jimmy Stewart) asked “No sir,” said the newspaperman Maxwell Scott said Marquard was a brilliant minor league pitcher — winning 23 games in Canton in 1907 and then 28 for Indianapolis the next year He threw hard and at some point people started calling him “Rube” not because he was one — he was not in the least — because his hot pitching and lefty form resembled Rube Waddell major league teams started showing interest John McGraw’s New York Giants paid the team an unprecedented $11,000 for him The price was so gaudy and staggering that it was basically included in every story about Marquard for the next five years minor league promoters in Indianapolis and around the country began hawking him as the $11,000 Beauty and the $11,000 Peach Here are a few bits of hype included in the Indianapolis Sun before he pitched: “Rube Marquard has a greater curveball than Christie Mathewson.” “Marquard has a faster fast ball than Amos Rusie “Rube Marquard is a bigger Rube than Rube Waddell or Rube Vickers.”Rube Vickers was a tall righty from Canada appeared on the scene in 1908 for Philadelphia and then more or less disappeared We talk about living in an age of hype NOW but We don’t do hype like they did in the early part of the 20th Century Promoters would just make up anything that came to mind in order to get people to come to the ballpark or the boxing match or the theater remarkable tales of players’ backgrounds emerged just before they came to town The whole sports and entertainment world was a lot like pro wrestling or reality television Rube Marquard was particularly adept at telling a story After making national news in his Giants’ debut (he got hit prompting newspapers to call him the “$11,000 Lemon” for a while) and plodding along unhappily for a couple of years going 24-7 with a league-leading 237 strikeouts he had what might be his best season — he won 26 games including a record 19 in a row he won 23 games and was fourth in the league in strikeouts He was probably one of the seven or eight best pitchers in baseball He wasn’t Walter Johnson or Ed Walsh or Christy Mathewson or Grover Cleveland Alexander If he had maintained that level for even a few more years his Hall of Fame case would have been interesting He had a few highlights the next three years (he threw his only no-hitter) but generally collapsed as a pitcher He reinvigorated his career after being traded to Brooklyn — Marquard would tell of how he engineered his own trade by calling Brooklyn management himself — and he was very good in a more limited role in 1916 Nothing Marquard did on the field — save perhaps his 19-game winning streak of 1913 — sparks images of the Hall of Fame It’s hard to come up with a modern equivalent — it was like he had a little bit of Charles Barkley He wrote a nationally syndicated newspaper column He was one of the most popular interviews on the subject of baseball It seems the order of event went something like this: cashing in on some of the expectations that had hounded him since he was purchased for $11,000 – Marquard appeared in the theater like many athletes did at the time – Vaudevillian Joe Kane began looking for an athlete to pair in a show with his talented wife who was sometimes called “The Queen of Syncopation” (thus proving even in the Golden Age of nicknames – Marquard appeared in a short silent film subtly called “Rube Marquard Wins” where Marquard punches out a gambler who dares suggest he throw a game then gets kidnapped by said gamblers then is saved by his best girl (who alerts the building super) and wins the game!* *This is a better plot than Trouble with the Curve. – Joe Kane decides that Marquard is just the guy to star with his wife in a vaudeville show This was a decision he would regret immediately and for the rest of his life Marquard may have been called “Rube” but all indications are that he was quite the man about town he would not take his eyes off Seeley during their first meeting Kane apparently didn’t quite catch this at first and put together the “King of the Diamond” with the “Queen of Ragtime” (or Syncopation) – Seeley began that show by singing the “Marquard Glide” which included the following couplet: He’s king of the pitcher’s box./Stood up through all the knocks Then Marquard would sing a song called “Baseball.” Then the two danced — she in a white gown “Rube brought down the house!” roared Billboard didn’t take too long to grow suspicious and violent Seeley would say that almost immediately after he put the two together he suspected that they were cheating on him She would allege that he beat her repeatedly threatened to kill her and then he showed up in public with a pistol and ranted Marquard had stolen his wife Seeley soon got a restraining order and hired a new manager — a guy named Rube Marquard Hynd says the only story that got as much ink in 1912 was when president William Howard Taft got stuck in a bathtub There were numerous entertaining developments in the Kane-Seeley-Marquard drama that would play well in the movie version — including one scene where he caught them in a hotel room Marquard and Seeley fled down the fire escape stairs Warrants were sworn out for their arrests (for illegally transporting a woman across state lines for immoral purposes) Marquard threatened to quit baseball so they could perform together full-time (it turns out he was bluffing for a better contract) Marquard and Seeley were soon divorced and went on with their own lives I told her I could give her everything she wanted But nobody sees that as a Hall of Fame career now and in truth nobody seemed to think it was a Hall of Fame career then either He got 28 total votes in four Hall of Fame elections before World War II and then he lingered on the ballot until 1955 when he got 13.9% of the vote in his final year seemingly the final tribute to a fascinating baseball life “Are you proud of your son?” they asked him (they being the reporters) Is it for the very best players as calculated with the best means available Is it for the characters who endure in memory Is it for the brilliant players whose gifts and performances were too subtle to be appreciated in their own time Is it for the players who made people fall in love with the game Is it for the players who changed the game for the better through some combination of skill and luck found themselves creating the game’s biggest moments The second thing that happened is that the Hall of Fame veteran’s committee in the late 1960s and early ‘70s The Frisch committee was able to get 21 people into the Hall of Fame in just six years and many of them — including Marquard — had only moderate careers that happened to overlap with Frisch’s Frankie Frisch never did hide his belief that the best baseball was played in his time everybody was dancing and having a good time and suddenly the Captain of the ship stopped the music and said he wanted to make an important announcement He said they had a very prominent man on board who had just been elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame His name is Rube

twirler with a tired arm brought to Durkee Field to restore some class to the Jacksonville nine and rescue the hapless Tars from the Southeastern League cellar and still had a mile or two in the old soupbone that had won 201 games for four National League teams nobody had won more games in a row in the big leagues than the nicely tailored Rube who once had twirled 19 straight victories for John McGraw's New York Giants Nobody said how much the Tars were paying Marquard but it was an article of faith it wasn't very much It surely was less than the whopping $11,000 the Giants had paid for Rube 15 years before a roof-busting sum that left some sports writers with a sour taste They called him the "$11,000 Lemon" until he started mowing down batsmen with grim regularity Marquard replaced scrappy Jacksonville favorite Tommy McMillan who had led the Tars to a Dixie championship just two years before So-so twirlers and a lack of timely bingles had doomed the 1929 Tars to the basement of

generations of residents in Cleveland's West Park neighborhood Marquard transformed a modest farmhouse on Warren Road into a mansion starting in the early 1900s adding room-by-room as his family – once one of the best-known names in the Northeast Ohio homebuilding and millwork business – grew On Monday, a crew started dismantling Marquard's mammoth, white house leaving the lawn strewn with decapitated columns though clearing the land will take a bit longer The house's entrance columns were strewn on the ground Tuesday An excavator crawled over demolition debris on the site Tuesday morning Workers started tearing the house apart Monday immediately after receiving a demolition permit from the city Some of Marquard’s descendants shivered at the edge of the property early Tuesday as they waited to watch the rest of the rambling house fall They expressed a mix of nostalgia and resignation the loss of the house seemed a fait accompli An undated photo shows the onetime grandeur of the southern entrance to the house illustrates how historic buildings can slip through the cracks in Cleveland – and how easy it can be for buyers of distressed real estate to end up with much more than they can handle The Marquard house wasn’t formally protected or recognized but there’s no arguing it wasn’t architecturally and historically significant A 1943 photograph shows the back of the house Marquard expanded to accommodate his sizable and growing family The precise age of the original house is difficult to pin down but public records show that Marquard bought the property in 1908 he expanded the structure to more than 50 rooms Between its sheer size and its blend of Georgian and Bavarian stylings the home became a landmark in the West Park neighborhood A photograph provided by the family shows one wall of the chapel The chapel was one of several unusual spaces in the house which also featured a ballroom and a rathskeller The ballroom and other spaces in the mansion featured ornate details including decorative glass and hand-hewn woodwork The dining room was a showplace for the Marquard family's millwork The family produced generations of homebuilders and craftsmen who constructed and outfitted hundreds of homes in the region Ross Bassett, president of the West Park Historical Society recalls wanderings and trysts at the house from his early adolescence Bassett also remembers his mother pointing out the mansion – by then broken up into apartments – on the way to school Such old buildings helped seed his love of history “We wanted to try to see it be saved,” he said of the mansion deterioration and time turned out to be insurmountable barriers the house had been vacant for nearly a decade - and neglected for longer The Marquards last occupied the home in the early 1940s the property became government apartments for wartime workers’ families it served a more general audience as the Manor House Apartments generating scads of complaints to the city’s building department and a pile of delinquent property-tax bills Decorative capitals topped off columns at the entrance to the Marquard house before demolition began That's how St. Mary Romanian Orthodox Cathedral bought the mansion at a Cuyahoga County tax-foreclosure auction for only $50,000 The church wanted to control what happened next door And leaders imagined restoring the house to its exterior grandeur while renovating the inside as a museum to house the church's extensive collection of religious and cultural artifacts and artworks Then the parish got a look at the potential budget which Peicu says totaled $600,000 to $800,000 Original details mixed with makeshift replacements Members of the Marquard family continued to monitor the mansion about raising money and marshalling volunteers for renovations written offer to the parish council to buy the property And the church wouldn’t have been willing to sell for less than what it paid Some of Marquard's descendants hoped to save the house but they weren't able to gain traction A 2013 attempt to secure city landmark status for the mansion never went anywhere, amid a backlog of nomination requests at Cleveland City Hall and resistance from the church. A landmark designation would have made it tougher to raze the house, requiring public hearings before the Cleveland Landmarks Commission But it also needed the local councilmember's support Councilman Martin Keane said he's been sympathetic to the church's plight you’ve known this house to be a focal point … But the stately presence of the Marquard mansion hasn’t been there for a very long time,” he said “It’s unfortunate that the path took us to where we are today.” Discussions about saving the house continued until at least a year ago But the church finally mustered the money to move ahead with demolition “It’s always been a problematic situation because the property hasn’t been lived in for a very The restoration society was aware of the house and would have been willing to look at the property the already-shabby house continued to decline after the church purchased it who at 71 is the family’s de facto historian the church board decided they didn’t want anyone interfering with their ownership.” The church wasn’t spending much money on maintenance and the property has been classified as tax-exempt for years But the empty mansion had been weighing on the council which finally reached a consensus on demolition Mary secured a $129,000 loan on its properties Peicu said the parish had failed in its prior attempts to borrow money for the demolition and other expenses Seedlings sprouted along the house's roofline before demolition started Workers finished clearing asbestos out of the house Sept The city of Cleveland issued a demolition permit Monday photos and a video of an excavator chewing into the mansion appeared on a neighborhood-history Facebook page the church will maintain the land as green space while exploring plans who ducked into the house early Tuesday to salvage windows Gary Marquard photographs the demolition Tuesday morning doors and other items from the house a few days before the crew arrived the first floor of the house felt like a sponge It was possible to put a finger through the walls Members of the Marquard family picked up remnants of the house on Tuesday morning With so many other Marquard-built homes in Cleveland including much smaller houses flanking the demolition site the legacy of the now-defunct Marquard Real Estate & Building Co Use of and/or registration on any portion of this site constitutes acceptance of our User Agreement, (updated 8/1/2024) and acknowledgement of our Privacy Policy, and Your Privacy Choices and Rights (updated 1/1/2025) © 2025 Advance Local Media LLC.
