SPEEDlER THAN AMOS RUSIE
Hugh Jennings Pays Unusual Tribute
to Walter johnson, Star of the
Washington Team.

Manager Jennings of the Detroit III
gers recently paid an unusual tribute
TO the pitching of Walter Johnson.
The Detroit manager. unlike most of
the stars of the old school, believes
that the Washington twirler has a bet
Ter fast ball than Amos Rusie of the
New York Giants had in his prime.
Il never batted against Johnson. but
have batted against Rusie," said
Jennings. Il used TO let myself get hit
by RuSie's fast one. I do not believe,
however. that l would take a chance
on showing my body into Johnson
shoot. l hardly believe that Johnson
throws a speedier ball than Rusie, but
he sends up u heavier ball. 1t hurts
more"

DAVIS SWIPED FIRST
Peculiar Stunt, Pulling to Many,
Actually Pulled OFF.
Players and Fans Amazed When Cap,
tain Started From Second to First
Nothing to Stop Player Run
ming Backward.

Harry Davis, the famous old star of
the Athletics, and in his time one of
the best first basement in the business,
was born in Philadelphia fOrty-three
years ago. The veteran has many
claims to remembrance, one of which
is that he is the only man who ever
stole first. That peculiar incident has
puzzled many fans. but it was actually
pulled off. 1t was In the old days
when Dave FultZ, now president of
the Baseball Players fraternity, was
playing in the outer garden for the
Mack bunch. In this particular con-
test Davis was perched on first and
F'ultz was on third. Harry stole sec
ond in the hope that the throw would
give Fultz a chance to race home. The
pellet was sent to the catcher in time
to head off Fultz, who barely managed
to get back to third, but Davis made
second. Captain Harry wanted that
run, and he was bound to have it, so
when the next ball was pitched he
chased back to first, stealing that bag
to the amazement of players and fans.
Of course big howl went up, but the
umpire could find nothing in the rules
to prohibit a player from running
backward if he wanted to- Having
swiped the initial bag, Harry then
took another opportunity to try TO
steal second, and while the throw was
made in an endeavOr to head him off
Fultz chased home with the coveted
run.
Davis commenced his big-league ca
reer 20 years ago, in 1896, when he

him over to Pittsburgh. where he re-

perience with Louisville Davis quit
the game and went to work for a rail-

invaded Philadelphia in 1901 he called
Davis from his retirement and made
him captain and first basemah of the
Athletics. He remained with Connie
until 1912. when he had a brief expe-
rience as pilot of the Cleveland club,
