Arthur “Bugs” Baer was a humorist and sportswriter—widely credited with coining the nickname “Sultan of Swat” for Babe Ruth—who often included his own cartoons with his articles.
Baer worked for The Philadelphia Public Ledger, The Washington Times, and William Randolph Heart’s King Features Syndicate, before moving to Hollywood where he wrote several film scripts, including the titles for “Headin’ Home,” the first movie Babe Ruth appeared in.
An example of Baer’s newspaper work; after a May 1914, 1-0 Washington Senators victory over the Chicago White Sox in 10 innings–Sox pitcher Jim Scott took a no-hitter into the 10th before allowing a single to Chick Gandil:
“Demmitt!!
“That’s the word.
“Oh! No! We don’t mean what you mean. (Ray) Demmitt is the right fielder on the Chicago White Sox, although we admit that it sounds as if he wasn’t. He is the lad who made a brilliant one-legged stop of (Howie) Shanks’ drive in the tenth yesterday, allowing the ball to bruise our perfectly good right field wall and Jim Scott’s heart at the same time. He came racing to snag the ball just like one of these pictures you see in the “Police Gazette.” Just like a regular ball player, same as they have in big cities. You’ve heard about those kind.
Demmitt!!

“The old pill went through him just like the Congressional Limited goes through Elkton, Maryland. And Chick Gandil flat wheeled around the bases same as the Fourteenth Street car does around Thomas Circle…What we wanted to ask is did you notice how everything moved in cycles of one?
“One run won the game. Demmitt’s one-legged stop allowed that one run to score and win one ballgame. (Clyde) Zeb Milan (who made a bare handed stab of Demmitt’s sixth-inning single, and caught threw him out attempting to stretch it to a double) one-hooked stab saved the bacon, and Gandil’s one tentacled clutches chopped off many an error.
“Hal Chase’s one-clawed catches of wide throws kept the Sox in the running and (Yancey) Doc Ayers’ great one-armed pitching put them out of it. In fact, everybody acted as if they only had one arm.
“Tommy Connolly did some fine one-cylindered umpiring.
“And Jim Scott gave a one-lunged cheer when Demmitt—there goes that word again—blew the game.”

So in other words Ray Demmitt was Ryan Doumit before Ryan Doumit was Ryan Doumit. Good to know :).
