Mc INNIS'S TRICK HOME RUN DRIVE
CONNIE MACK'S moBt famous graduate from his school of applied
bench warmers In 1911 Is "Stuffy Mclnnis." No sooner had this
youngster discarded the knee trousers of his special course uti( ler
Mack than he began to startle the national pastimlns unlvor e witn
his baseball witchcraft. The qualification of Mclunta to the regulars
filled in a weak spot In the Athletic defense, as Harry Davis was on M=
decline, and helped Philadelphia snatch a pennant from the Detroit ligets
when Jennings' players seemed to have It cinched.
Mclnnis had not been In the big league a week as a full groomed major
clrcuiter before he began to pull trlclfs on his more experienced foes rhe e
coups quite often won games and un-
doubtedly had a direct bearing on the
spirited race of the Athletics to sue- i
ceed themselves as world champions, j
While space will not permit an enu 1
meratlon of the many unexpected
moves that made him feared both In
the field and at bat, one trick worked ]
on the Boston Red Sox about the mid-
dle of the season of 1911 is given as
a sample of his craftiness.
This bit of quick thinking on the
part of Mclnnis came, as most of his
movea did, at a time when it was
least expected. He bad shot into the
big league like a meteor among a
cluster of stars. Staid veterans of
the diamond did not expect to en
counter exhibitions of "inside" base-
ball in Mclnnis. They feared Eddie
Collins and Jack Barry and otherB
of greater experience. That may
have helped this raw recruit pull Ills
coup on the Hed Sox that bright day
In June when every game counted
and thousands of eager fans in Phila-
delphia and Detroit read with breath-

CARRUTHERS' WORLD'S PITCHING FEAT
BOBBY CARRUTHERS, way back In 1886, performed a feat which
has never been surpassed and, all things considered, has seldom been
equaled Other pitchers have hurled two-hit games In a world series
Tliey were not compelled, however, to work against the heavy hitters
■Carruthers faced October 19 of that year when he pitched a no run,
two-hit game against the slugging Chicago White Stockings.
Baseball's historic legion of pitchers who have hurled one hit and two-
hit games In post season series comprise an Imposing array. There was
Churlet Radbourne, who held the old Metropolitans of New York to two hits
in the world's series of 1884. There was Ed Walsh, who performed a similar
feat in 190G There was Edward Ruelbach, who won similar glory in the
same series in which Walsh came into the spotlight. Carruthers' feat equals
any c,f these when every phase Is considered. A two base hit was made
oft Walsh and both Radbourne and Brown were pitching to light hitting
teams; Carruthers held one of the heaviest batting clubs that ever donned
a uniform to a pair of scratchy singles.
Still other pitching feats in world's series have been recorded that must
he mentioned McCormick pitched a two-hit game in 1885, but against a light-
er hitting team than the old White Stockings, and two runs were scored
off his slab efforts that day. Lovett performed a similar feat against a club
of comparatively mediocre batters in 1890. Reulbach pitched the only one-
hit game of all time in a world's series in 1906, but he was liberal with his
passes, handing out six free tickets to first base. Reulbach also hit one
batter and one run was scored off his pitching
Considering the character of the batsmen appearing against Carruthers
and the fearful handicap under which he labored, none of these performances
surpasses his shut-out victory over Cap Anson and his heavy-hitting legion
that autumn day in Chicago. .... . ,
Tip O'Neil helped Immortalize himself as a batsman In this game, but
he was compelled to share honors with Carruthers, who was among the
heaviest hitting pitchers of the early days. O'Neil drove the ball into the
carriages lining the field in the first inning for a homer, scoring Carruthers,
who had singled ahead of him. Carruthers tripled with the bases populated
in the'seventh but it was his pitching that was making a record that was
destined to stand as one of the best feats of its kind for more than a quar-
ter of & century.
Gore singled in the first inning, but after that inning after inning was
t led' off without a safety until this same batter came up in the eighth
inning Again he singled, but that was all for Chicago. Anson, Kelly and
the rest were powerless before the wonderful speed and control of the
Browns' pitcher, and when the last batter faced the St. Louis twirler in the
last Inning and bowed in defeat, he paid tribute to one of the greatest
hurl era of the early days. Carruthers was the first pitcher to stop the heavy
b tting Chicago White Stockings. His achievement came in the series in
'hicli he helped dethrone Anson and elevate Comiskey to the proud pedestal
which he has occupied in baseball for nearly three decades.
