Jimmy Ryan In 70 coach the uni
verrity OF Indiana baseball team,
and. II there is any material down
there, the Western conference col
legcs would better watch the Hoo
siers In the spring.
Ryan was trained In the smartest
baseball school ever known. and.
with few exceptions. he knew more
baseball and played II better than
any man that ever has played the
game. Even among such men as
Mike Kelley. Tommy Burns, Ed
williamson. Fred Pfeffer and Wal
ter Wilmot. Ryan was recognized
as one OF their peers, and In many
ways he was smarter than any OF
them.
Ryan has one remarkable record.
He played on the Chicago club for
ten years without a contract OF any
sort, and fulfilled every verbal
agreement. One season we came
home from trip. and Jim drew his
check. He looked at II curiously,
tossed Il over 20 Jim Hart, the
president. and remarked: "How'B
that. Jlm7 Isn't II too muchT
NO" remarked Hart Il raised
you $3.50 this year"
II was May NJ that time, and
Ryan hadn't even inquired.
There never has been in base
ball. not even excepting Tommy
Mccarthy, any outfielder who could
throw as quickly and AZ accurately
as could Ryan.
He used to throw out from eight
10 IL runners a year at first base
on clean. sharp hits TO right field.
No slow runner could beat his
throws, and no one dared loaf go
ing to first. In the last eight
years ] have seen the play made
only once. Schultz threw out Bill
Donovan Mt first during the worlds
series with Detroit and the Cubs.
Ryan used 10 do II from center
field
One OF the funniest things ] ever
saw on n ball field resulted from
Ryan's habl, OF shooting TO first
BLACK Bill" Clark hit a sharp line
drive 20 right He was very slow,
and Ryan ieaped forward. grabbed
the ball on the first bounce and
flashed II like a rifle shot 20 first
base. II arrived there IL feet
ahead OF the runner. But Arson
was standing on the bag. his back
10 right field, and the ball struck
him squarely in the back and drop
ped dead. Arson threatened to fine
Ryan. and accused him OF trying to
show him up.
You may think Jim ia old. but
three years ago, In Chicago. he
made a throw from left field to the
plate and nailed runner by sew.
