Since the days of old Joe McGinnity there have been few pitchers to approach him in hard work in the box. McGinnity was the first pitcher to make a feature of pitching both games of a double-header without fatigue, and no one el.se has ever equalled him in that respect. Recently however a number of pitchers have tried the "iron man" stunt with more or less success. Through the past two seasons Fred Tonev, Dave Davenport, Ray CaldweU, Dick Rudolph. Rube Benton, Hod Eller, Poll Perritt. Al Derr.aree ar.d Grover Alexander have turned the trick. In 190? Ed Reuibach performed marvelously in shutting out Brooklyn in both games of a double-header.
