May Need Three Catchers.

May Need Three Catchers.
Three catchers looks pretty large. but
the modern methods OF pitching work
havoc with backstops' fingers. as was
proved last season, when all of the
Cleveland pad-wearers were out of com
mission at the same time and that club
had 10 borrow Kittredge from Wash
ington. Also Blankenship, a catcher, may
be yet seen doing tricks at first. How
ever. his chances Of becoming a first
baseman are not bright, If Charley
Hickman holds the pace he has been
setting in practice
The chubby Charles has been eating
'em alive at the initial corner. He pulls
IN low throws and assimilates high off,
side passes in a manner truly startling.
His principal weakness is in fielding
ground hits. They have a habit Of
missing his fingers and smashing him in
the breadbasket with a siCkening thud.
Hickman's Work Improves.
This is largely due to a lack Of expe-
rience, and he IS getting better every
day. Without throwing any bouquets,
Hickman has really done some surpris-
ingly excellent work at first and. as he
is right there with the stick, he seems
utollAAtu 10 stay on AllV SdSh Abi many
days. Much Of Hickmans opportunity
for shining is due to Perrine. whose
throwing continues wild. The young
- ster has a bad boil on his neck, which
fnterferes with his winging. and judg-
ment in his case will have to suspend
until he gets well.
The rule about bunting is being Teli-
giously enforced. John Anderson, Hick-
man. KitsOn Hughes, and the rest OF
the fence hitters. have to do their regu-
lar turn in dropping the dlnky teasers.
and much good should result. / was
talking with Willie Keeler about bunt-
ing last season, and he complained that
the present generation of ball players
In making a sacrifice are perfectly will
ing to be put out. He said that, in the
days when the big combination -four
ished in Baltimore, the object Of bunt
TO put a man on first.
Criticism Is Just.
His criticism was just 1t is a fact
that many players in the American
League think they have done their full
duty Is they move the runner up a bag.
and then make no serious effort TO
stretch the attempted sacrifice into a
safe hit Among the men on the Wash
lngton team who always try to get there
are Captain Schlahy, Jones, and At
tiZer. all OF whom are etremely fast,
and generally have a fair chance to
beat the ball.
