Brouthers and Delehanty.

So much Is said nowadays about the
ball player of today being superior to
the men who played the game years ago
yet base ball records do not prove that
the above contention is anywhere near
correct. Indeed, the records show that
the ball players of other days were in q
far greater degree better players than the
ones who are playing in the major
leagues of the present time.
For instance. there is no player in the
game at the present time who has ever
approached the batting records made by
Dan Brouthers and Ed Delehanty, both
from a daily and a seasonal average. I,
is shown by the records that when Dan
Brouthers was playing with the Detroit
home runs. . two-base hit and single
In five times up, and this, mind you
when the pitcher stood only forty-f1ve fee,
away from the batsman. The pitchers
in Brouthers' day undoubtedly had just
as much speed as those of today.
How many hits would Ty Cobb and the
other leading swat artists of today gel
off of speedy twirlers like Cy Young. Null.
lin, Petty and the rest If these men only
had to stand forty-flve feet away from
the batsman when they hurled in the
ball? A ball pitched by Cy Young from
such a short distance would most likely
come over the plate SO fast that 1t would
be in the catcher's hands before the
batsman would be able to set himself fol
it.
Yet. with this great disadvantage
against him. the mighty Brouthers led
the National League in batting. with q
season average of 419. and Cap. An.
son went Brouthers better a couple sea
sons later with .421. Brouthers also leo
the league in 1885, 1891 and again in 1892
AS these were the days when Amos
Rusie. Hutchinson. Ed Crane. Rad
bourne and other famous slab artists
were pitching. 1t can easily be seen tina,
man to play in Brothers time surely
had to be a ball player.
Brouthers played with the modern day
ball players also. and more than held his
own. for though he broke into the big
league away back in 1880. with Buffalo
yet he was a member of the champion
Baltimore team in 1894 and 1895. and
more than produced the goods. He play
ed with the fast Philadelphia club In
1895. and there hit the ball like a f1end.
Ed De1ehanty was a rival OF Brouth-
ers. and he surpassed the latter's record
for days batting. Ed made four home
runs In one game and two doubles. and
he also led his league several seasons as
the premier batsman.
AS shown above. both Delehanty and
Brouthers played ball with the same men
who are holding their own in the major
league today. and they beat them to It,
Wnen these same men were IN their
prime. and how anybody can dope 1t
out that the present day spike-shoe
genius has anything on the lads who have
gone before is sure a puzzler to any stu
dent of base ball.
