Doran, Payne, Schmidt, Archer and
Thomas. Now Beckend0rf and Stan
age are added to the list fof 1909. Me-
Aleer has used IL or so in his anxiety
to get a winner. Kahoe, Sugden ana
Donohue were the first backstops at st.
Louis. They were succeeded by Spen-
Ger, Weaver, Roth, OConnor. Hickey,
Stephens, Blue and Smith, with Cri-
ger as the mainstay for the approach
ing season.
Connie Mack managed to get along
with fewer receivers than any of his
rivals. For years Shrek and Powers
did all of the catching, with occasional
Smith, Blue, Lapp and>Egan last sea-
son. Boston had a long string of
catchers. Warner and Criger were the
backstops in 1902. Jake Stahl caught a
few games the next year, while Farrell
helped out in 1908 and 1904. Then
came a long list Of youngsters, Nc
Govern. Armbruster, Graham, Carrigan,
Peterson and Donohue, with one vet
eran, Shaw. In addition to Carrigan
and Donohue, Manager Lake will have
Spencer and Madden on his roster this
year.
New York did not break into the
league until 1908. O'Connor and Beville
were slated to do the catching. In
1904. however, were found Mcclure and
klelnOW on the JoD, ira Inomas, RICK
ey, Blair and Sweeney being added
later. washington had quite a bunch
of catchers In seven years, Clarke and
Drill being followed by Kittredge, Hey
don, Warner. Wakefield, Blankenship
and Street. The above list has includ-
ed about all the catchers that caught
enough games to get their names into
the records. OF course, there were
others who tried cut but failed to par
ticipate in many games. 1t shows that
only five catchers have had seven
years. experie-ce in the American
league, with Kleinow being a five year
man and Spencer and Mig Clarke four
year men. Schmidt, Thomas and
Payne have been in the league three
years, but most of the others have
been in the circuit but one or two
years. while several, touted as classy
receivers, have yet to catch an Ameri-
eau ieague game.

SUNSHINE AND SONG.

J. W. Foley Of Bismarck, the poet
laureate OF North Dakota, has recently
issued another volume. The verses in
the present book are largely selections
from those he had sent leading daily
newspapers and the big magazines of
the east. The issue is an artistic as
well as a literary triumph. 1t is hand
somely gotten up in every particular.
The volume successfully sustains Mr..
Foley's reputation as a writer of verse.
The selections run almost the entire
gamut Of human sentiment, though
humorous lines predominate. There is
a personal vein through the greater
part of Mr.. Foley's efforts, which keeps
him closely in touch with his readers.
He is particularly fortunate in arous-
ing "reminiscences of childhood and
youth and aptIy and happily says the
things that so many OF his readers
have felt but have been unable to put
into expression.
Tender sentiments are touched in
many of the selections. The Garden
Of Yesterday is typical in this respect,
in part OF which Mr.. Foley says:
All day stood beside the gate from
dawn to dusk, and saw them wait,
To plead with him to clear the way.
that they might search in Yesterday.
But to them all he shook his head,
'The way forever closed" he said;
'T lost a child" the mother said; "a
sweetheart l." the lover sighed.
"a song" the poet said. was there,
sweet-voiced, ineffable and rare;"
But Time. unyieIding,. held the way;
"The place is mine-'tis Yesterday.
And came a schoolgirl, tearful-eyed:
