Dave played major league baseball from 1915 to 1930.

Mostly batted leadoff. Known mostly for his glove work. Dave was a fiery player and recognized as a good team leader

One of the greatest defensive shortstops to ever play the game even though error totals were high. Smaller gloves, less strikeouts made for more chances. Led league in chances per game in 6 seasons.
