SUNDAY SAYS
ANSON GREATEST

Billy Sunday, the evangelist, who
was the fieetest base runner in the
game when he played right field for
the Chicagos twenty-five years ago.
was asked the other day whether the
diamond stars Of the present appear
ed to him to be more proficient than
the great players Of the past Sun
day replied:
There never will be another bats
man like Adrian c. Anson. He stood
erect at the plate and with keen eyes
he judged the good ones so cleverly
that when he swung his bat nightly
the ball either whistled past the in
felders like a shot or sailed. over the
heads of the outhelders. Year in. and
year out Captain Arson was the
greatest hitter in the league. All
pitchers looked alike and all Of them
feared him.
Speaking of pitchers let me say
that Johnson Clarkson topped them
all He was the only pitcher l ever
saw who could throw overland and
make the ball go down and then up
He used d wear his finger nail down
to the quick in pitching that ball, and
often his fingers were covered with
blood

squeeze play and other tactics that
seem new to modern fans BAH We
used to make these same plays twen-
/ ty-five years ago. but we didn't have
any fancy names for them. Four
times that / can recall / scored from
second base on an infield hit, which,
as you know, must have been going
some.
we didn't wear any gloves in those
days. You fellows, of course, say the
ball must have been softer than it is
now. But let me assure you that
the leather was as hard as a rock in
my time and that the pitchers used
to shoot EN- over the plate just as
swiftly as at the present. time.
