Text | The batting and base-running of the team is their [the Detroits'] strongest playing feature, in this they excel all others; in the latter feature Crane, Hanlon, McQuery and Donnelly lead in th order named. When one of these men attempts to steal a base and he finds it a close race between himself and the ball, he makes a “land slide” of at least twenty feet and secures the base before the baseman can reach him. This bold and successful style of base-running has earned for the Detroits many a run, especially at critical moments, when defeat stared them in the face. |
