Ran across this tidbit on wikipedia: "On June 30, 1910, the Philadelphia Athletics held a benefit for the widow and children of Mike "Doc" Powers, who had died a few days after the team opened Shibe Park in 1909. Players from the Washington, New York and Boston AL teams took part in a six-inning game against the A's, and also in pre-game contests before 12,000 fans. In one of these contests Lord was timed from home to first in 3.4 seconds.[2]" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Lord
That seems mighty fast for 1910. I had never heard of this guy before. Reality check ?
