Rusie Held to Life Preservers.
When Amos Rusie, regarded by
many as the greatest pitcher that ever
stepped into the box, became a Giant
he was a country boy, fresh from the
farm. This led his teammates to per-
petrate many jokes at his expense
One Of the first came when the team
made trip to Boston soon after Rusie
Joined.
The trip was made at night on the
Long Island Sound boats. Hardly
were the men aboard when several
went over to and discoursed solemnly
on the dangers Of the trip.
Amos" they told him finally, ito
protect yourself you must strap two
life preservers on you. Do it now.
And don't take them off until we're
safely tied Up at the Fall river pier"
Rusie at once hustled around, found
two big life belts and strapped them
around himself He walked into the
dining room with them on He prom
enaded the decks and walked through
the big cabins with the cOrks strapped
around his chest. And he slept or
tried to sleep, with the life preservers
belted around him.
The climax came at Fall river. Fear
ing that the boat might even sink at
its pier, Rusie refused to take the
corks off when the boat was tying up.
He attempted to walk across the gang
planks with them on, but was halted
by one of the ships officials.
Il
corks-put EN- back" ordered the
purser
He grabbed Rusie but big Amos
broke away, rushed down the gang
plank and onto the pier. Then and
only then did he upstrap the corks.
Here's your darned old preservers,"
he yelled, throwing the corks back at
the purser. 'T don't want 'em any
more. I'm safe on land now"
