the Blues viii win the pennant.
Few of the fans stop to think of the
necessity of a team having good
catchers before any successful at
tempt can be made to win a pennant.
The ability of a man 70 cover simply
the throws from the pitcher and TO
catch foul flies in his territory is only
part Of the work expected of these
modern buffers for the stopping of the
swiftest curves. The catcher is the
general Of the whole nine and must
direct the play. because his position is
such that ne sees moro clearly than
any other player the happenings of
game. Il has come TO be accepted as
an axiom that a club has small chance
to win a pennant without the services
of two high class catchers. Many IN
stances can be shown where a club /
has finished at the top with only a fair
pitching department or with a weak /
spot in the held or on bases. It viii |
always be found however, that such
clubs had catchers of the hrst rank. or
