SEYMOUR CALLED iron MAN,
Former New York Giant Pitcher PERI
formed Most Remarkable Pitching
|. ,. Feat Back In 1896.

'"They called Joe McGinnity the Iron
Man." says John J.~McGraw. "Joe
was glutton for work. But the real
iron man Of them all was none other
than Cy Seymour.
Seymour, you know, used to be a
pitcher. When I first saw Cy he was
southpaw twirler with the Giants.
was with Baltimore then. Seymour
was really a good pitcher.
"He performed the most remarkable
pitching feat, l ever witnessed. 1t was
back in 1896 or 1897, when Bill Joyce
was managing the Giants. Baltimore
was playing series at the old Polo
grounds. Seymour pitched the last
game, and it happened that beat him
with a triple to right in the last in
ming, 2 to |. y -
'"rhe next day the Giants were sched-
uled to play US double header in Ball
timore. Much to everyones surprise,
Seymour came out to pitch the flrstf
game. By strange coincidence he|
worked so we'll that the score wasl
against us Ito in the ninth inning.
Once more it fell to my lot to beat Cyl
with a triple to left center.
"After the usual short intermissionl
we came out to play the second game
Of the double-header. . The batteriesf
were announced, and to our astonish.
mcnt and that Of the crowd Seymour
was again the Giant pitcher.
'This sounds unbelievable, but it Tel
true. Cy started his third game against
US in two days. and what is more re-
markahle still, he shut 10 out and won
the game, 6 to 0.
""Joc McGinnity was indeed nh 'ironl
man. He was no more entitled to thie |
title, however, than was Cy Seymour
20 years ago, although most fans for !
~ hat q ever was a:pitcher." /
