Purtell's career was enhanced by his uncanny ability to field ground balls in 6 inch tall grass. I believe there was a prolonged strike by the Lawnmower's Union in Chicago in 1909.
Konetchey's pose is similar to Purtell's but rotated 90 degrees. His left leg is forward (hence larger) with the knee bent. He may be trying unsuccessfully to keep his right foot on the bag with toes pointed backward.
