Heisman Tells of Great Ball Catch
0 o o o © o O
Sullivan Fulled Wonderful Play
By J. W. Heisman.
I T is perfectly possible to measure
the length of a throw or hit in
baseball, and had the measuring
been done in all cases of long hits or
throws we would now be able to say
definitely which were the longest on
record. But it is quite impossible to
say what catch was the greatest, for
there is no way of applying measure
ments of any kind to such a feat.
Everybody has seen wonderful
catches, and some will live in memo
ry as long as life lasts. I recall
within my own experience two most
remarkable catching stunts, one of
them by an outfielder, the other by
an infielder.
The first of these was made by Sul
livan, left fielder of the Boston Club
away back in ’89. The game was be
tween Boston and Chicago, in the
City of Beans. The Chicago Club,
with old man Anson at the helm,
had won the pennant the year before,'
and it was their first appearance of
the season in Boston. And that re
minds me that it may*be worth tell
ing that the entire Chicago team rode
out to the ball park in the swelleat
of victorias, only four players to each,
but also four horses to each, and all
gaily decorated with bunting and
flowers.
When they alighted at the field ft
was seen that every man of the team
not only had on his baseball uniform,
but over that each wore a regulation
claw hammer, full dress, black coat.
At a word from Cap. Anson they
Williams Will Play
Against Vols Monday
Clark Griffith Says Former Senators
Will Make Good—To Get
Real Tryout.
S. ATLANTIC LEAGUE
Shortstop Williams, bought yester
day from the Washington Americans
by the Atlanta Baseball Association,
will report to Bill Smith to-morrow
morning and will be out in the after
noon to perform against the Vols.
Bill Smith does not know the first
thing on earth about his man or his
ability, except that Clark Griffith rec
ommended him and said he aoul. 7
make good in Atlanta. On that rec
ommendation the man was bought.
Smith will try him to-morrow and
Tuesday and then make his decision
before Wednesday—which, is the last
day for cutting down players in the
Southern League, and likewise the
day that marks the opening of the
Crackers’ first long road trip of the
season.
PHILLIES, 10; BRAVES, 4.
BOSTON, April 26.—The Phillies
are runless wonders no longer. They
scored ten of them this afternoon,
within two runs of as many as they
had made in their preceding nine
games this season, and won, 10 to 4.
The Phillies presented Seaton, who
has blazed a trail of runless games
across the Eastern circuit, and there
wi no chance for Stallings’ alleged
batters to fit in anywhere except in
the seventh, when he lost, the location
of the plate for a few minutes. In
hat inning he passed three men
Kirke singled and Maranville s high
fly to right field, being lost in the sun,
was good for a two-base hit and
cleared the bases. Boston scored four
in that inning and that was the total
for today. The score;

formed in one long line running out
at right angles before the grand
stand, and then in perfect step an 1
with bared heads they swung in quick
step from one end of the huge stand
to the other, bringing forth round
after round of hearty applause as
they marched.
Players Wear Dress Coats.
No doubt that strikes the reader as
a ridiculous thing to do, and I won
dered then why everybody didn’t set
up one tremendous laugh at the sight
of ball players wearing dress coats
on a ball field. But they got away
with It and It was all good advertis
ing. Old “Pop” Anson was some
manager as well as a ball player, and
he knew as well how to create a sen
sation as the press agent of a circus.
Well, the catch to which i have
referred came about the eighth inning.
Chicago was at the bat, with one
run behind. Two were out but no
runners were on. Williamson, the
Porkt’own shortstop, came to the
plate wielding a bludgeon of murder
ous size, and he had size enough him
self to swing it. At that time seven
balls, not four, gave a batter his
base. The pitcher threw about three
halls and then lie had the misfortune
to groove it. Well, that was one of
the very longest hits I ever saw. But
Sullivan was laying away back for
j him and started at the crack of the
bat, wheeling and running with the
j ball. To all it seemed sure that the
flying sphere was going to soar over
the fence, and it did come within a
hair’s breadth of dome- it. The ground
made a considerable rise out in this
far corner, and as Sullivan ran up the
incline he found himself elevated
from the rest of the field to about
half the height of the fence. Just
as the ball was going over the fence
Sullivan leaped for it, and with
it. His hip struck two of the fence
boards above ‘the t' p railing, and
knocked them off clean. Through the
hole hurled Sullivan’s body, but *:n
mfdair as he was going through all
could see that he had his hands on
the horsehide. and there it stuck. Di
rectly after Sullivan appeared in the
fence opening and came back into
the park with ball in hand.
You can imagine this was some
catch.
Remarkable Plays Pulled.
In that same game, which Chicago
won in the ninth. Williamson started
two successful double plays by clean
ly fielding the ball and then whipping
it backward to the second baseman
without stopping to turn around and
| look for him, while in riaht field Pfef-
I fer threw’ three men out at first dur-
I ing the course of the game on ground
I balls that ought by all odds to have
been safe hits.
The greatest infield catch I ever
saw happened, curiously enough, in
that same Princelon-Pennsylvania
game in which was made the longest
hit I ever saw, and which I . wrote
about a couple of weeks ago. This
was in -the spring of 1900, the game
coming off in Philadelphia. No run
ners w'ere on and no one was out.
Watts had already made his long hit
and Penn was two runs to the goj-J
in the fifth Inning. A Tiger came *o
bat and waded into the first pitched
ball with commendable alacrity. He
crossed it over between first and sec
ond, and so far, seemingly, over the
heads of the infielders that it was
promptly given up by all to be a safe
hit. But they had reckoned without
Captain Wagonhurst, the Penn sec
ond baseman.
Wagonhurst Makes Catch.
Now, Wagonhurst had broken a
finger of his left hand about a week
before this, and he had to be mighty
careful how he put that hand in front
of any ball. It was still tied up in
a big clumsy dressing too large for
his glove to go over. Mechanically
he started with the crack of the bat,
running over toward first as he saw
the ball coming in that direction. At
this time he was so far from where
the ball apepared to be going that I
doubt if anyone noticed him making
for it. At the .same time he was
running diagonally back into right
field to head it off. The ball had al
ready gone past him when sudden’y
we saw him leap high in the air,
twisting the right side of his body
over so as to get his right hand near
est the ball as he did so. His leap
was exactly like the twist somer
saults that we see acrobats perform.
Now, the wonderful thing about this
catch, and what really rendered it
possible, was the fact that Wagon-
hurst’s leap after the ball, together
with the lightning-like thrust of his
right arm made his hand shoot after
the pellet faster than it was traveling
away from him. In other words ne
really overhauled the ball in midair,
and caught it in his bare right hand
after turning around and jumping
with the ball. In addition Wagon-
hurst’s feet must have been fully five
feet off the ground at the instant of
making the catch.
It was truly a marvelous catch; the
immense gathering sat stupefied for a
moment, then let out a roar like a
volcano. Wagonhurst himself seemed
dazed. He came back’to earth with
the ball In his right hand and time
after time looked down at it. .is
| though to make sure he really bod

a good, consistent game. Hammond's
drives at times were excellent, but he
was a bit weak oh the green.
The members of the club are w>il
pleased with the eondltion of the
course this year and are planning oh
a number of tournaments.
Hook Slide Now Used by Players
(3QOOOOO
Must Start Dive at Right Time
By Joe Bean.
Physical Director Marist College.
B ASE running and tbe hook elide
have come into prominence with
in the last few years.
There was a time when ball play-
erM used the head first slide and got
away w th many a fancy dive, but
it was found that a number of in
juries resulted until gradually the
player began the feet first slide.
Gradually the players that were
sliding feet first started to dodge the
player making the play, sliding in
sideways, apd as they became pro
ficient at this, they developed what
is now called the fall-away or hook
slide. There are many players of
to-day who have thia particular slide
down to a science and there are also
many that go straight in feet first,
I know of places where the old style
of head firM slide is used with the
same principle as the hook slide, using
the hand to grasp the bag and throw
ing their bodies away from the player
making the play. In teaching the
hook slide to boys' or to any player
that is new at the game It would be
well to keep the leg that they arc
sliding on underneath the body with
the knee bent, both arms straightened
out away from the bag and body and
arms flat on the ground.
T)o not start to learn this hook
slide by puting one foot straight out
in front and the other to the bag. as
you are very liablo to put your heel
of the outside foot In the ground and
Injure your ankle or knee. After you
have become familiar with the slide
you will find yourself doing this un
consciously. After you have mastered
the slide do not think that is all
there is to it. One of the principal
things that make the hook slide ad
vantageous Is starting it at the right
time and in the right direction. Play
ers that start this slide too soon ar$
a cinch to get; those that start it
too late are also easy to get. Players
are very seldom hurt from the hook
slide if worked right, as the weight
of the slider is away from the player
and the side of the foot is reaching
for the bag and the spikes are not
in a good position for injury.
On€ of the best fall-away slides
that I ever saw was made by Ma
loney, of Brooklyn, now with Mobile,
in a game at the Polo Grounds against
New York. Bowerman was latching
for pew York and Maloney was on
second base and started for the plate
on base hit. Maloney and the ball
arrived at the plate almost together.
Maloney made a swift dodge to go
in behind Bowerman and he (Bow
erman) made a swift attempt to tag
him then, but Maloney slid in front
of Bowerman before he could make
the tag in front. It was the most per
fect pieces of work that I had seen
during my career on the field.
So from this my reader can easily
ree that there are a lot of things
success besides the slide itself.
