On September 15, 1929 — Between games of a twin bill, the Reds entertain the fans by sponsoring a base-circling contest with the winning player receiving $75 in prize money. Cincinnati outfielder Evar Swanson breaks Hans Lobart’s record of 13.8 seconds set earlier in the year as he completes the 360-foot dash in 13.3 seconds, according to official AAU timers who officiated the race. Two years later, with more sophisticated equipment timing him, he will do it in 13.2 while with Columbus (American Association).
