some cases this may be true, but
there are any number of big men
who can give anyone in the coun-
try fine chase when it comes to
getting over the ground in
hurry.
The big fellow does not appear
to be going as fast as the little
man, because he is taking so much
more stride.
On first sight no one would
think Pat Dougherty of the White
Sox was speed marvel, but if you
were out there pitching and the
big fellow dropped a bunt in front
of the plate it would not take long
to discover that he can cover the
distance from the plate to first
base about as fast as anyone in the
business.
Men like Cobb, Crawford, Wag
ner, Flick, Lajoie, Bradley and a
host of others of about their size
| don't look very fast, but run them
alongside of such men as Bush
Bay, Maloney, Evers and Turner
and they would show as much
| speed as the little fellows.
