Player Triples home/road. Curt Walker 19/1. Really. Why?

A century ago when players were still hitting a lot of Triples in parks with longer dimensions they seem to have favored doing it at home. Here are some splits:

In the Regular Season, from 1903 to 2023, Home (within Home or Away), requiring Triples >= 15, sorted by greatest Triples.

Curt Walker also had a lot more Doubles at home.

Why the huge disparity in Triples?
