Archie Bush 40 . Catcher.

To THE EDITOR or THE sUs-sfr: In your article
anent the best college catcher ever seen on the dia.
mond you omit the name OF q man whose memory
every Harvard graduate reveres. In my humble
opinion Archie Bush never had a superior, nor an
equal. 'seventy.one is a long way back. I must ad.
init ut was his CLASP. but baseball was played then
as now. Entering college In 80 had the good for.
tune to DO chosen pitcher of the nine and fed Archie
with balls 1--WE pitched then-not threw until his
graduation. Those we're tho days when masks. breast
plates. boxing gloves, &C.. were unknown. A catcher
stood behind the bat, unprotected save by Akill and
pluck. and Archie was the embodiment OF both. How
often has the new ball been returned to me soiled
with blood, and, when I have questioned the cause,
been told by Archie. &c ont Never mind mel' and
to find at the end OF the inning HIS hand split; also to
hnd him grlmly Indifferent to pain, and taking my
mot absolutely s~nail.liko) delivery as eoolIy as il
every ball were not torture!
For four years Harvard hover lost q game to an
amateur club. On the first extended tour ever made
by an amateur Organization. we defeated such clubs
as the Haymakers OF Troy. the Forest Citys OF Cleve-
land. the White stockings OF Chicsko; and only lost
TO the champion Red stockings OF Cincinnati by q
nuke. as any survivor of that famoub team will
gladly bear witness.
Ask George Wright. Al spalding. Or any Of the old;
TO ri, and see II there Ia q dissenting voice TO my rs.
sertion that Archie Bush, Harvard, II, was the best
amateur catcher that ever put foot on q ball field.
Very truly. ]. CHEEvER GOODWIN. Harvard, 10.
