OUTFIELDERS BACK
In '8Os WERE STARS
Record Number of Assists Were
Made in the Early Days.
Statistics Show That Old Time Fly
Chasers Had Shade on Present
Day FieIders in Throwing Out
Base Runners.


During the season of 1898 George
Van Haltren of the New York Giants
in game against the Washington club
was playing center field. Cy Swain,
who was pitching for the Senators,
while at bat happened to make what
looked like safe drive to center. Nine
times out of ten it would have gone
safe, but Van made mad dash and
gathered it in on the second bound and
without stopping threw to first, the
ball beating the slow-footed Swain by
good six feet, and Cy was sprinting
his best all the time. Of course Van
didn't perform this stunt right along.
Statistics show that the outfielders
back In the SOS and ZOOS had shade
on the present day outfielders in MAX
ing assists. The best record in num-
Der of assists made in one season in
the majors in recent years, or since
1900 was stacked up by Harry Niles
when with the ST. Louis Cardinals in
1906. Harry nailed 80 men from the
outfeld, getting them at different
bases.
Mike Mitchell, while playing with
the Cincinnati team, equaled the mark
set by Niles, heading off 80 men by
his power to shoot ball from the
furthest corner Of the outf1eld with
sufficient accuracy and speed to get
his man. Ty Cobb, Joe Birmingham,
Iris Speaker, Joe Jackson and Milan
of Washington all have made especial
ly good records in this direction and
lead their respective teams in throw
ing out base-runners from the remote
corners of the outer garden. In his
day Fielder Jones was past master
In pegging the ball from the outf1eld
and nipped many runners.
In the National league since 1900
Murray of the Giants has the most
consistent record of all the old league
outfielders in making assists, he lead
ing the league in four different sea-
sons. Ellis, who used to be with the
Cards, was good at making long throws
and had an average of 20 a season.
Titus, Bates, Cravath and Snodgrass
have good marks for accurate throw
ing from the outfield.
But the old boys back in the halcyon
days of the sos made some astonish-
ing records in throwing out base run
ners from afar off. Jimmy Fogarty OF
the Phillies averaged an assist from
the outfield every third game he play
ed in. Sam Thompson of the old De-
troits and Phillies was mighty throw
er in his day.
Jimmy Ryan of the Chicago Nation
ais, left handed though he was, could
shoot ball from the furthest corner
LOf the ontfield with deadly effect. Bill
LANCE had a wonderful throwing arm
and was feared by all base runners in
the National league.
The great Mike Kelly, back in 1885,
when with Chicago Nationals, made
the greatest record in throwing out
base runners from the outfield. Mike.
by fair means or foul, pegged out 20
men In 81 games.
