Action on the American league

Connie Mack employed Rube

The defeat of the Yankees may
be attributed in part to Miller Hug

Amos Rusie Says Old Time
Hurlers Not Afraid of
Heavy Sluggers
SEATTLE, June 13.——Amos
Rusie. original king of the strikeout
pitchers, cannot understand why
modern hurlers don't pitch to the
sluggers instead of walking them.
“None of the pitchers in my day
were afraid to pitch to the best of
i them," said Amos, who recently
came here to establish his home on
a farm. You didn't find us walk
ing the slugger almost every tune
he came to bat. as they do now
adays. We figured we would either
make him hit the ball or sit down
That's what he was up there for.
"When I began league ball.” he
added with a grin, “the pitcher's
box was only 50 feet from the plate
and the pitcher was allowed to
take two steps. Dick Buckley, who
caught me., used a slab of lead In
the palm of his hand with the
catcher's glove. I was told that the
box was moved back to 55 feet and
then to 60 feet largely on account of
my speed.”
The old pitcher believes brain
counts more than "slugging.” and
his all-time baseball team contains
no mention of the heavy hitters
playing in the American or Na
tional league at present.
His team follows:
Pitchers. Christy Mathewson,
