Owned So Much Speed
He Was Poor on Bases

stunt When he was supposed 70 steal
bases he stole them standing up.
"Wefers couldn't slide, and he didn't
have to: that fellow was over the
base before the catcher knew he had
started. That was the trouble. He
continued to go over the base and
couldn't halt himself till he had gone
far out into left field. OF course, the
inieldcrs gathered the ball and walt
ed for him TO return.
we couldn't teach him to stop, to
check his speed or to turn fast upon
the line, and thus get some good out
OF his superduous rapidity. We tried
hard 10 teach him. but It didn't work,
and Wefers himself, heartbroken, gave
IL UP before the team got home.
1T sometimes happens. too, that
mn is too fast in fielding. Jimmy
callahan, n pitcher, showed such ire
mendous speed that they put him at
short and third the first year he was
in the fast company And, time after
time, when a grounder was hit his
way, Callahan darted at IL with such
errif speed that he couldn't check
himself over the ball. but overran, and
thu hit went on unhindered.
Speed is a great thing, a glorious
more of il for the Giants. But speed
uncontrolled and unrestrained Is an
awful handicap, and a man who Is too
Fast Is MS badly off as II he were In the
Larry Mclean class for agility"
