RUSIE'S TERRIFIC SPEED.
His Thunderbolt Delivery Terrorizsd
the Batters.

A veteran ball player who has bat
ted against nearly all of the noted
pitchers in the last twenty years nam
ed Amos Rusie as the universal stand
ard OF speed in shooting the ball across
the rubber.
There have been many fast pitch
ers I'm baseball. and all of them i'm their
time when they cut loose for fair have
bafiled the best of hitters with their
speed, but you will notice that when
fast pitchers are spoken of the one
remark is always made, Has he the
speed that Amos Rusie had% And,
think, it will be that way forever
As long as great names are remember
ed or baseball is the nations game
Rusie will remain the champion speed
merchant, the one pitcher who could
send in the ball faster than any one
else that ever lived. When you say
fast as Rusie' you don't mean II.
either; you only wish TO show that
your favorite pitcher is very speedy
boy.
Words fail really to describe the
speed with which Rusie sent the ball.
He was n man of great width. great
strength and the ability TO put every
ounce Of his weight into the pitch.
Coupled with this he had a set of daz-
cling curves which were manufactured
with the same effort required TO pro-
duce the speed. Some men can throw
straight ball with great force. but
have to slow up I'm order TO develop
curves, but Rusie drove in n curved
ball with all Of his tremendous power.
Facing Rusie TO timid man was
like going into battle must be to an
inexperienced soldier. The distance
was shorter then. Rusie had the
whole box to move around in instead
of being chained TO slab. and he
simply drove the ball at you with the
force Of a cannon. ! have stood up
TO all the great pitchers of nearly
twenty years, | have seen scores of
them come and go, and none of them
inspired the terror in batsmans
heart that was PUT there by the
mighty Rusie. The ball was like q
white streak tearing past you without
Time to balance yourself figure the
course Of the ball or take aim at it.
The fellows with the wide curve might !
fool you into reaching out and missing
them, but you weren't reaching out at
simply swung at n white
streak as 1t hurled past. and IL you
took n full arm swing the ball was
gone and In the catcher's hands before
you had half finished the swinging
motion.
'The convincing proof Of Rusie's ter
rible speed was this: If any other
pitcher hit man the man swore,
imped moment and went TO first. |
II Rusie hit n man the man retired |
from the game and sometimes went !
TO the hospital. To be hit by Rusie
was worse than TO have an ordinary |
nan smash you with a rock" - New
