GREAT NAVAL
VANCOUVER
LONG CRUISE TO THE PACIFIC
BEGUN-sENDING OF THE BIG
FLEET NOT INTENDED AS A
MENACE TO JAPAN

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-The
long cruise to the Pacific begun by
the battleships of the Atlantic
fleet today is regarded in naval cir
Giles here as the greatest naval ma
neuver and peaceful test in the his
tory of the United States. 1t is the
first time that such an elaborate
program has been attempted by the
American navy. Some unintelligent
observers have endeavored to estab-
fish a connection between the Jap
anese immigration question and the
visit of the feet to the Pacific coast
/ In other words, they have sought to
construe' the sending of the big fleet
| to the Pacific as a menace toward
Japan. No well-informed person in
Washington entertains any such
| idea.
On reaching Magdalena Bay the
! battleships which sailed today will
engage in target practice, prac-

will be great rivalry between the
Atlantic and Pacific fleets. the lat
ter having also been ordered to rem
| devious at that place When the
| target practice. which will be un-
usually extensive, including battle
! practice with a rough sea and rec
ord practice in smooth water, has
been concluded. the combined fleets
will head northward for San Fran
cisco, and on the way will engage in
many maneuvers.

dent, as ommander-in-chief, doffed
his hat in acknowledgment of each
thunderous salute as the floating
fortresses passed out to sea.
The president reviewed the feet
from the deck of the trim little
yacht cruiser Mayflower, where the
| peace plenipotentiaries of Russia
and Japan met two years ago. In
the presidents party were Mrs.
Roosevelt, Secretary of the Navy
and Mrs. Metcalf. Assistant Secre-
tary and Mrs. Newberry, Rear Ad
miral and Mrs. Brownson and Rear
Admiral and Mrs. Cowles.
The Maydower reached the scene
from Washington early this morn
ing The president did not go
aboard any of the battleships, but
Immediately after the yacht anchor
ed Rear Admiral Evans, the COM
mander-in-chief of the fleet, and
the various flag officers went aboard
the Mayflower and paid their re-
spects to the president. They were
followed by the commanding officers
of the ships. Immediately upon
their return to their respective YES
sells the order was given for the fleet
to get under way and stand out,
preceded by the Mayf1ower, which
came to anchor in the vicinity of the
"tail of the horseshoe" the feet
meanwhile passing in review and
out to sea.
Admiral Evans flagship, the Con-
necticut, led the way, and as she
passed the Mayfiower ''close
aboard" the flagship doomed out the
first guns of the presidential salute.
The Connecticut was followed by
the other vessels of the fleet in the
following order: Kentucky, Kear-
sarge, Alabama, Louisiana, Kansas.
Vermont, Georgia, Virginia, New
Jersey, Rhode Island, Minnesota,
Ohio, Maine, Missouri and Illinois.
Each vessel fired a round of Fl
guns as 1t passed the Mayfower.
During the salutes to the president
the white puffs of smoke fioated
away like tiny fiecks OF summer
clouds among the fluttering flags OF
the decorated ships, the effect being
one of unexpected beauty.
The first point at which the feet
will touch is Trinidad, which place.
according to schedule, will be reach
ed the day before Christmas. The
subsequent itinerary will include
Rio Janeiro, Punta Arenas. Callao
and Magdalena Bay. At each OF
these places the feet will remain
for from five to II days, except at
Magdalena Bay, from which place
the date of departure depends upon
the completion of target practice
there. For the same reason the date
of arrival at San Francisco, the ulti-
mate objective point, has not been
determined At Magdalena Bay the
battleships will be Joined by the
cruisers and destroyers already on
their way there.

CATCHERS ARE
IN BIG DEMAND
All the Real Good BaCkStOpS
Can be Counted on One
Hand

To-day catchers are the scarccst
commodity i'm baseball You can
count the good ones in both leagues
on either hand.
Three years ago pitchers were as
scarce as the oysters In soup but to-
day YOU couldn't throw a stone down
Broadway without hitting some big
league twirler who had speed. plenty
of curves. the spit bah and a good
head" Just why this is. managers
don't pretend to know, but it's true,
just the same.
During tho recent "Old Glory" sale
OF ball players at the Waldorf In New
York, everybody was reaching out for
catchers. while pitchers were Sue
ondary consideration. They wore so
plentiful as to BE- swappcd IN pairs,
and few inhelders and outhelders
had to be tossed in for good measure,
to bring down "a good throwing catch
en- who knew his business.
The only catcher at the annual meet
ing was Mike Grady, of Wilmington,
but pitchers bobbed up In the corri-
doris as frequently as the holes in
swei.zer cheese. Boston, Cine matt,
ST. Louis Philadelphia aud Brooklyn
were all looking for good backstcps,
and with the exception OF Boston, VINO
landed Rowerman, they went home
disappointed.
The only plausible explanation for
this scarcity In catchers. according
To Billy Murray, manager of the Phil
lies, is shat the demand for pitchers
was so great several years ago that
large majority OF players began
developing themselves into pitchers.
In this furry for twirling talent the
catchers were almost forgotten.
MoGraw and Clarke Griffith have
often said that the catcher Is the most
important and responsible man on a
ball club, and they are right. No
championship was ever won with out a
good catcher, and no worlds cham
lpionship was ever won without a wun-
derful catcher.
Boston beat Pittsburg for the great
prize through the clean-Cut work of
Criger The New York Giants de-
feated the Philadelphia Athletics
through the masterful catching of
lBresnahan. The Chicago White SoX
won from the Cubs through the catch
ing Of Sullivan, and the Cubs defeated
Detroit through the strategic work Of
4 King.
The reader will very likely jump at
this with the cry OF whats the mat
ter with the work OF the pitcher"
That Is a very natural impression
but remember it is the catcher who
sizes up the batter and directs the
pitcher
The catcher is at all times the man
/ behind the gun. whichever way his
shots are fired. other things being
equal. so win go the game.
/ What is known as team work. base
running. such as the hit-and-run play
the double steal etc, cannot be worked
often when a good catcher Is directing
the defense He must solve these
problems in advance and direct th6
rest Of the team accordingly. II he
! sees indications of a coming steal he
orders the pitcher to pitch out" and
the play is killed If he orders the
bali pitched high" or outside" when
the hit and run is attempted another
good thing is nipped in the bud. in
addition to such work as this he Is
frequently called upon to handle young
and wild pitchers. That is his martyr
/ dom.
