M GRAW HOLDS
RECORD FOR
PASSES TO FIRST

Since the National and American
record keepers have taken TO keep
ing track Of the number Of times the
players have gone TO first base by the
free transportation route. Jimmy
Sheckard. OF the Chicago Cubs. holds
the record for the National League,
and DOME Bush, OF the Detrot
Tigers. for the Americans, and last
season, according to Secretary John
A Heydler's figures. Sheckard got 1872
passes In lac games; while. according
to the American League records.
Bush was passed 10 times in 144
games.
These figures do not approach the
record made by Manager John Nc
Graw, of the Giants, in 1899 when the
Little Napoleon was manager OF the
Baltimore Orioles The record was
kept that year by the baseball expert
of the Baltimore Sun.
This is what the Sun said about e.:
Manager McGraw Of the Orioles has
made a record this season never be-
fore equalled in the annals of the
game Several times, a month or so
earlier in the season, the fact that he
had reached his base at least once in
every game of the season except one
was referred to in the Sun as some
thing unprecedented. In the issue Of
July Z II was shown that he had
reached first base twice out of every
three times he had faced the pitcher
to bat and II was shown that his very
remarkable skill In getting his base
on called balls had enabled him tC
get TO first base some 60 times In the
first Ga games. Since that time and VI
to Saturday, August 2, Manager Nc
Graw has not failed to reach first bas'
at least once In every game. Hi
record. therefore. Is 95 games, in q
! OF which he has managed to get L
first base at least once, and usual,
oftener In the last 81 games up L
Saturday, McGraw had gotten 35 basei
on balls and been hit three times, I
total Of 3S nasses AS he had previous
ly gotten 65 bases on balls and beer
hit FIVE times. his total OF free passes
secured from opposing pitchers
mounts up to the imposing total o
10S I'm 90 games. This Is a record n
itself never before eaualled. In th'
81 games he has gotten almost Al
many bases on balls as al the othe
men on the team put together"

MoHary and Callahan
Most Daring Base Runners

Ed Sweeney was asked recently
who he thought were the best base
runners in the American League. For
speed the best are Cobb. Milan and
Collins said the big catcher, "but if
you asked me TO name The most dar-
ing base runners ] would name Geo.
Moriarty and Jimmy Callahan
IL consider Morlariy TIE trickiest
base runner I'm the country. When he
is on base you can't relax vigilance a
second. If he got on Che paths as Of
ten as Cobb believe he would steal
one hundred bases season ! don't
think there is a moro artistic pilfcrer.
"Moriarty is considered fast man,
but he Is nowhere near Cobb, Milan
and Collins for speed. SO that makes
his dazzling performances an the
more wonderful He has thc audacity
TO try anything He gets bigger
lead on a pitcher than any player /
know Of He works away from the
base inch by inch and then bolts
ahead He seems TO get top speed in
a half second and always slides into
the bag at a point furtherest from the
man taking the ball.
Evening journal., 1913-03-05

when he is on third base. he is as
dangerous as dynamite You are
working with the pitcher 10 get a
batsman and before you notice
Moriarty has slid into the plate. He
can steal home more artistically and
in bigger pinches than any other
player Whenever Moriarty is on
base, | have learned from experience
that ! have to pay more attention to
him than the batsman, or / am lost.
Jimmy Callahan. now in his thirty
ninth year, gives me just as much
trouble. Callahan decives you He
never jockeys from a bag of a lead.
but stands stock-still four feet from
the bag and looks as If his thoughts
are IN China Callahan never makes
a fake break When he turns his
back he keeps on going He.s abso-
lutely fearless. and will take any
kind Of a chance. He will sneak home
on nothing. No matter what chance
he takes he gets away with it nine
times out OF tin. I consider Callahan
one OF the maryols Of baseball He is
better than half Of the so-called stars
who are ten years his junior"

IN A HARD DRAW

Harry Baker, Of Whining ,on, who
has earned the sohrlguet OF knock
out" Baker by his many decisive ring
victories, met a tartar ia Ben Douglas,
Of New York. In the wind-up at the
Fairmount Athletic Club Philadelphia
last night AZ the end Of six gruellinz
rounds the best that either middle
weight could except would be a draw.
Douglas scored a clean knOckdown in
the third round He simply held his
left hand in Bakers face and shot
his right cross, and Baker was drop
ped fat on the floor He sat there
complacently and took a count OF
nine, got up and fought back like a
young tiger
In the fourth round Baker, who is
a southpaw. caught Douglas with a
terrific left hand lead. which landed
on the cheek bone II sent Douglas
reeling TO the ropes, and he staggered
to his corner of the ring Baker made
a leap like a panther TO land the de-
cisive blow, and II was at this juno
ture that he was perhaps deprived OF
knockout
Douglas saw Baker coming. and.
dazed as he was, he was ring general
enough to drop to the floor. He lad
not been struck, and intsead Of the
referee compelling him to get up at
once, Douglas was allowed a count of
nine. He arose and clinched the
round out.
That was Bakers last chance. In
the two succeeding rounds Douglas
gave as good as he received In fact.
In the final round he fought with bet
ter judgment than did Baker. who was
TOO eager TO land a knockout blow.
In the semi-wind-up frankie Hogan
of Pittsburgh, was lucky to earn a
draw with Johnny Piazzi, Of Philadel-
pha. Piazzi, who boxes left-handed,
dropped, Hogan with left on the Jaw
for a count of nine. Hogan undertook
to try a left-hand shift Piazzi coolly
stepped back and let him miss twice.
