catcher McCaughan, first base.
Dun, the new catcher, was here last
evening and took few balls across the
plate. He has great arm, a steady nerve
anu good eye, but It will be dom onstra-
ted ON Saturday whether he will hold
Leach or allow the wild pitches to count
as pnsSed balls. Dissatisfaction reikns In

the CLUB and Intends to run tt. There Will
never stand q catcher behind the hat on
the diamond who will woIk as hard to
hold Leach as Madden has done. He is
In good form to-day and can hold Leach
without an error.
There Is no use OF fault finding but tho
truth OF the matter is that the same deep
interest Is not conferred In the game for
Saturday. as Duff lsl new man. never
caught Leach in game when the upper
