"Can on outfielder thrn-nr rnrtti,- iv, pltcher7 queries S C K. On an average, yes. Outfielders are trained for an extended range. All throwing records are hold by outfielders The first established record of 135 yards was held by an outfielder, and the record was broken by Lcjeune, another outfielder. Pitchers rarely attempt the long peg, as a different motion Is required that might result In Injury. It would be Inter esting, for all that, to see Just how far one Walter Johnson could toss the old missile on a bet against the longest throwing out fielder now extant. Which reminds us again, who Is the longest throwing out fielder, Dae Robertson, Trls Speaker, Harry Hooper, or who? Speaking of able-bodied, long-distance veterans which no one was there Is also tho case of Mr. Clcottc. of the White Pox Mr Cicotte was a mate of Ty Cobb's on the Augusta club in1005.
