BEHIND THE BAT
Bv PATRICK MORAN Catcher of Chicago National Team

who are always breaking into the
game These boys are always ner-
vous and must be handled with kid
gloves. A few harsh words of crit-
cism, or a call-down, however gentle, is
very likely to take the nerve of one of
these kid" pitchers. and a man with
his nerve gone has no place in the mod
ern game of baseball. When the
youngster steps on the mound in his
first major league performance. he has,
as a rule, absolutely no knowledge of
the batters he is about to face. He has
for sure. been told of their weakness
by his fellow pitchers, but the fact
that he is pitching for big league
team makes him forget all this. His
confidence IN himself is liable to be
pretty shaky, too. He thinks of the
records of his opponents, and more
likely than not, believes that he will
not succeed, and wishes himself back
with the minors. Then it is that the
backstop must get in his clever work.
He must talk to the youngster and in
spire him with confidence. He must
tell him what ball to give to this lat
ter and what to that. And if the boy
gets his bumps. as the saying is, all the
work must be done over. And this
without any expression Of impotence.
A good lead is the most essential
qualification for the man behind the
bat. Players can be fairly successful
in other positions if not overburdened
with gray matter, but q catcher with
out Guick-thinking apparatus. in per-
feet working order, would be as out of
place as a prize fight at a girls acad-
einy. The catcher must have for his
motto: Think, think, and keep think
ing If he makes slip, the whole
team is likely to go up. Throws to the
plate. to catch runners trying to score.
must be handled perfectly. An error
is at all times discouraging to the
members Of a nine. but when that err
ror lets in a run. it is doubly demoraliz-
ing And in nine cases out OF ten, an
error by the catcher is just such
one.
Quick throws to the bases often catch
runners mapping and pull a team from
bad hole, but these throws are dan
gerous. and generally when they go
wild they pave the way to score, and
subsequent defeat.
Much more might be said about the
man behind the bat but space prevents
l believe that l have made fairly
strong argument to support my claim
that the catcher has the hardest and
most responsible position on baseball
team.
The owners of teams are beginning
to see that a man who makes good
catcher must have brains and an init
mate knowledge of the game. Conse-
quently, they are beginning to give
their catchers the positions on the SAL
airy list which they haxe always filled
on the playing field-the office OF man
ager. Bresnahan is managing the ST.
Louis Nationals, and Bowerman the
Boston team of the same league. In
the American League, Sullivan is the
pilot of the White Sox, while Lake an
ol(-time catcher, heads the Boston
team. Mcclure, late manager of. the
Rostons, is now filling the position of
assistant manager with Cleveland.
To my mind the day is almost at
hand when we will see every big league
team with catcher as manager.

THE FEED VALUE
OF COTTON SEED
The Farmers Beginning to be Ap'
preciative.

Farmers throughout the State are be-
ginning to realize the value of feeding
cottonseed meal to cattle. 1t has been
recently pointed out that the same
amount of cottonseed meal fed to cat
tie and the manure used as fertilizer
will produce as much cotton as if put
directly into the ground. 1t has also
been claimed by experiment Stations
and actual practice appears to confirm
the statement, that by feeding cotton
seed meal to cattle either for fatteniug
or for the production of milk, full value
is returned for the meal and roughness
fed and that the manure comes as
clear profit to the farmer, even if he
does not obtain profit from the cattle
themselves.
South Carolina is making headway
in the cattle raising industry. The
Live Stock association has been work
ing hard for some years to improve
the class Of cattle in the State and
good results have been obtained. It
is stated that with good Judgment in
the purchase of cattle the manure
necessary for the farm ban be produ-
ced at ver;' little cost to the farmer.
The pre- pairing of cattle for the market
is rendered cheaper, also, by the use
of cottonseed meal.
