| | Amos Rusie, conceded to have been the greatest pitcher who ever stood in a diamond, Is in town, The onetime star of the National league is a trifle gray and perhaps bis aye lacks a little of the luster of other days, but his presence recalls the famous diamond stars of old. Whe Keke eeteeee eee ene * * * THIS 1S LEARD * * * Ree eee eRe He's our peppery, square-jawed, fighting second-sacker, is Jack Leard The Star photo man caught Jack as he was in the act of spearing a high one. Leard is to be a fast guardian of island this season, if he going Midway keeps on going at his present clip has During his workouts, Jack shown the requisite the stick he is at b to mention fn a flood ¢ that was necessary basebalidom to awaken admiration In the annals of baseball Rusie wili always hold the distinction of inventing the burning low curve ball which, in the days of the old National league, spelled defeat for Opponents. In 1897 Rusie was at the helght of his career as a twirler. while doing’*mound duty for the} New York Nationals, Amos pitched | 37 games and wound up with a per. centage of .784. Only six pitchers have excelled that record in 14 years which have e! Misses Big Games. A peculiar feature of Rusie's| career is the fact that ever since he left the big league, 11 years ago, he has not seen a big league ball game. While the air is filled with talk of Mathewson, and the other pitching phenoms, it is good to re fect on the record of a twirling} marvel like Rusie. In his day there was no strike to fatten his average were no little rule changes which have given the modern mound man the best of it. Not at all! But Amos Rusie and the other| pitchers of his day depended on foul their ability with brain and brawn. | Rusie’s star faded as stars will| fade, but he will always be remem: bered as the king of twirlers Look for Him. a spell. He'll be at the opening game next Tuesday. If you seé a gray-halred, well set-up man amble into the grandstand and quietly take | @ seat near the press box, you'll| know it's Amos Rusie. That is, you'll know him if you look at his eyes. They're gray and plercing—you! can’t help but notice them. Per haps they will light up with pleas- ure at some bright bit of baseball Perhaps they wili dim with a tinge of sadness when he thinks of the good old days when it took more ability, greater Ingenuity and far greater stamina to be a champion. Anyway, Amos will be at the open ing game. Speaking of oldtimers naturally the | BASEBALL CHC NEW YORK—Gi AGO—Cubs and Ca CIN ST.
