IT Is a generally accepted theory
among baseball PLAYERS that success
full catcher should be large man in
order to stand the work which is re-
Quired of him He should have long
reach to enable him to handle wide
throws and enough weight to effect
lively block runners coming in to the
home plate. The fact is that most Of
! the topnotch receivers in big league
ball are good sized men. such. as
BTesnahan of ST. Louis, Mclean OF
Cincinnati and Criger OF the ST. Loui.

once and while.

his fielding yesterday. 1t was mostly

Hamilton Press: ! The ball team
found another soft spot last Saturday
and lit in it to the tune of IL 10 8.
The team from Keokuk was not the
old Kellogg Birge team as was started
last week, but many of them were the
same players that have been trying
their fortunes here for the past three
weeks. Some Of them we're fairly good
ball players and some were otherwise
Shepherd pitched the first seven in
nings and only one run was made OF
him. David pitched the last two In

runs before he hit his stride He nm

DR.. COOK TAKES
NO NOTICE OF PEARY

Duluth, Mimi, Oct 23-Commander
Poary's latest move in the Polar con
troversy, his dispatch to Washington
friends regarding the Rasmussen
story. brought nothing but nod from
Dr. Cook when he learned OF it here
today The doctor intimated 1t was
unlikely that he would take any par
ticular notice OF the attack on the
Danish explorers report.
Neither could Dr. Cook be induced
TO say anything regarding the dis
patch from MisSoula that his agents
In Montana had secured satisfactory
evidence that Barrills affidavit was
the result of inducements" His only
comment on that dispatch was that
General Weed evidently had been
mistaken OF mlsQuoted regarding his
going west. as 1t would he impossible
for the explorer 10 go 10 Montana be

possibly not until the middle OF De,

and will devote his time TO preparing
his report on the North Pole trip
After that is done, he will feel at lib
cTty to take UP the Mt Mckinley mat
ter In Montana, or wherever else 1t
may seem best to go about II. DR..
Cook also dictated a message to Prof
