RUSIE THE REAL
PITCHER WITH SPEED
No TwirIer Ever Approached the Ter
rifle Delivery of the Great Amos.

There have been fast pitchers by
the dOzen,'' said the veteran Jimmy
Ryan. the other day, and all Of them
in their time have fred the ball across
the rubber with the greatest speed
ina ginable.
'.Have you noticed, though, that just
one man is taken as the standard OF
speed, the one with whom all others
are compared? Whenever you speak
of any speed hurler what do you say ?
Fast as Amos Rusie; got as much
speed as RuSie ever had That is how
you will always word it, and / think
it will be that way forever AS long
as great names are emembered or
baseball is the nations game, Rusie
will remain on pedestal as the cham
pion speed man, 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 it
either-you only wish to show that
your favorite pitcher is very speedy.
There isn't anyone as fast as Rusie,
there never was, and perhaps there
never again will be.
Words fail, really. to describe the
speed with which Rusie sent the ball
He was man of great height, great
width, prodigious muscular strength,
and the ability to put every ounce OF
his weight and sinew into the pitch
Coupled with this he had set OF
dazzling curves which were manufac-
tured with the same effect required to
produce the speed. Some men can
throw a straight ball with great force
but have to slow up in order to de-
veiop curves, but Rusie drove in a
curved ball with all his tremendous
power.
Facing Rusie to a timid man. was
like going into battle must be to an
inexperienced soldier. The distance
was shorter then. Rusie has the whole
box to move around In, instead of be-
ing chained to a slab, and this giant
drove the ball at you with the speed
of cannon. It have stood up to al
the great pitchers of nearly twenty
years; I have seen scores of them
come and go-and none of them in

and the most successful man who
ever received his thunderbolt delivery
was Dick Buckley.
THE convincing proof of Rusie's
terrible speed was this: If any other
pitcher hit a man, the man Iimped

Rusie hit man that man retired from

ball. To be hit by Rusie was worse
than to have an ordinary man hit
you with a rock. He hit me twice,
think, and all the bumps other pitch
ers ever gave men, didn't bruise me a
tenth as much is these.
Yes, Rusie was the fastest of them
