The fact came to light in the recent

Dave Altizer, the forty-four-year-old
youth who plays short for the Millers,
fractured his nose at the bridge, when
he collided with Hinchman at third
base.
Despite the injury Dave remained
in the game, but gil the baseball
sharps expected he'd be out of the line
up the next day.
But he wasn't. Joe Cantillon, when

More speed on the bases!
That's what every wise big league major now appears to be striving
for. It's what John McGraw, New York Giants’ leader, and Branch Rickey,
boss of the rejuvenated Browns, are seeking
McGraw has in his lineup four regular inficlders and three outfielders
who can be counted upon to steal 35 bases apiece this season.
To make his “thirty-five” base stealers, McGraw had to insert Bob
Jescher, formerly of the Cincinnati Reds, in his outfleld, and Milton Stock,
Mobile graduate, in the third base job.
The base stealing records of the present Giant regulars last season is:
