1t is a recognized fact that star
catchers in base ball--catchers of
the same relative degree of skill as
third basemen. shortstops and Sec
ond basemen--are fewer proper
tionately than stars in other posi-
tions.
This should not be. With the
number of backstops developed
each year 1t seems that men OF
high class should be more numer-
Gus. In the long life Of the ma
tional game the development has
been uneven.
Proof of this is found In the men
doing the receiving. High class
performers are rare birds. The

as stars are small class. For In

OUR OLD FRIEND TAlKSe
ABOUT WHAT HE CALLS THEs
"LURE OF THE DIAMOND"
BY oWNEY eHAGAN.


Once in a while you see base
ball player quit the game while
he's still good. But not often.
If mans a lawyer or doctor OF
merchant or most anything else
you'll very often see him breaking
away when he's in his prime
Wants to travel, to enjoy life, to
stop working.
But the average base ball player
plays till he's kicked out.
Sometimes till he's kicked out OF
a class H league in the sugar beet
circuit. And that after being
bounced year by year down the
ladder.
There's a kind of tragedy in
some of those old fellows. They
used to class with the best players
in the world, but something
slipped, or gave way, or they got a
little slow or fat, or they couldn't
work just as quick as the young
sters who were taking their
places.
Then no more the big crowds
and the fame and all that. The
farmer boy in the rube town can
kid 'em when they're down.
But there are few players In
the big leagues who have quit
when they were going good. Here
this year Fielder Jones found he
could make more money in Oregon
timber, and Dave Fultz wanted to
settle down and practice law, just
as John M. Ward, one of the great
est in the game, quit the New York
Giants years ago,
Then there was Mike Griffin,
the great outfielder. who quit
rather than go to st. Louis, and
Danny Richardson and Billy Lam
der-they quit to go into business.
But these are the exceptions.
There aren't many of them.
Some of them quit. but can't
stay quit. Like Hans Wagner and
Johnny Evers and Johnny King.
There's something about 1.-THE
lure of the game or something
that keeps them hanging on.
And do you remember old Sam
Thompson? Few better batters
ever lived than old Sam when he
was right, back over 20 years ago,
when Detroit had the greatest
bunch of hard hitters In the game
and Sam was one of their best.
Well. Sam quit one day and
went into business. and tried to
forget all about base bali. But hi
couldn't. Here a couple of years
ago Detroit got in a hole and
needed a fielding batter the wors,
way, and who should come to the
front but old Sam Thompson. a
Yep, put on a base ball uniform
and went out to help Detroit win
again. And he did. He didn't hi,
EN- out like he did years ago, but
he played the game. Then, when
the team got on its feet again
Sam Thompson put on his serge
suit and went back to work.
But that's the way 1t is with
them all. It's a hard game TO quit
base ball is.

was good as rule and hecessi-
tated Coughs relief by Seaton in
the sixth inning, after Spokane had
scored three runs off Cough in the
| fifth
Just like Jack Killilay the other
day, Vic Holm won the game that
ne had rescued from early defeat
by driving in the winning run with
fine drive to the right field,
Spencer scoring on passed ball
at the plate.
Seaton is some pitcher and at
no time after he got into the game,
holding the Indians down to min
imum of hits, did the fans, who
had their innocent bets up that the
Colts would be corraled again, feel
comfortable.
1t takes something classy in the
way of headwork to catch as fast
a man as little Cooney off base,
but Brown, Spencer and Altman
cooked up one on him yesterday
that cut off run. Cooney hit out
for three bases. Then Brown,
Spencer and Holm had a confer
ence. Altman was wise all along.
Vic got the first one close enough
to the plate to be fouled instead
of going wide to pull Cooney off
third on a squeeze. The next one
was just right, however, and
Cooney was half way in before he
tumbled to the trick. Trapped be-
tween Altman and Spencer, Alt
man tagged him. The next man up
put out fly that would have
scored him. Cooney got third
again, but he left out the squeeze
business. 1t was a nifty piece of
inside baseball.
Weed played star ball around
first base. On two occasions he put
ont men unassisted when he had to
run veritable foot race with the
runner to beat him back to the
. bag
Corners was put out at the plate
in the fifth after he had sent two
men across ahead of him with his
three bag punch over second, 1t
was rather poor coaching for
Brinker to let him pass third.
