What you’re looking at

This page features a humorous anecdote about **Chief Meyers**, catcher for the New York Giants baseball team. The story satirizes slow baserunning through a joke about managerial authority. **The Setup:** Manager John McGraw criticizes Meyers for his sluggish speed on the bases. When McGraw tells him to "speed up," Meyers cheekily asks what time he *should* arrive at the next base—implying the manager's complaint is absurdly specific. **The Point:** The humor lies in Meyers's witty deflection, which silences McGraw's further criticism. The anecdote suggests that sometimes a player's confident sass beats legitimate coaching. Meyers, described as "Indian" (likely referring to his Native American heritage), is portrayed sympathetically as cleverly outsmarting his manager through humor rather than athletic improvement. The rest of the page contains period advertisements (watch fobs, foot powder, books on sexuality).

GORWEY EVE =RY baseball rooter from one end of the country to the other knows that “Chief’’ Meyers, the great backstop of the New York Giants, is no whirlwind on his feet, and his speed when running bases is not of a kind to cause Cobb or Bescher any pangs of jealousy. The fol- lowing yarn concerning the big fellow relates to the time when he was a new- comer with the Manhattan outfit, and his fellow-players, being unfamiliar with his many excellent playing qualitic., were inclined to take unusual notice of his rather slow footwork. It is said that this fault of the Indian greatly irritated Manager McGraw, but he neglected to say anything about it for a long time, because the ‘‘Chief’’ displayed constant improvement as a catche} However, one day when Meyers had been particularly slow in going after a couple of short bunts and had only nipped the runners at first by an eyelash, Mac called his catcher aside after the game and said, ‘You were pretty slow to-day, ‘Chief,’ pretty slow. You'll have to speed up a lot more. With a twinkle in his eye, the back- stop answered, ‘I guess you're right, but I don’t want to overdo. Just about what time do you think I ought to make?”’ That was the last time Johnny offered suggestions to Meyers along the sprint- ing line, wisely deciding that ‘‘just good enough to pull through’? would answer the Giants’ purposes.
