cATcHERs DREAD FOULS.
Unexpected Tips from Bat Prove Bans
of Many Players.

Some catchers must have been born
under lucky stars. Certainly I wasn't"
says Tom Needham, a veteran big
league catcher. When fans discuss
the various players with perfect hands,
few stop to consider the backstops who
have been in the game year after year
without sustaining injuries other than
slight disloC lions. But the doctors
and surgeons have been a busy lot af-
fixing finger sprints and binding up
the tape since baseball was adopted as
the national pastime. Speaking of the
disabled catchers. it happens to be my
lot to register among the badly bent
species. Ten Years aSo | had two per
feet hands. Save for few scars which
bore mute testimony to my greenness
as d tanner of white rats and a group
of frecllles, there wasn't a Flemish to
look at them. Foul tips. the bane of
all catchers have altered the general
appearance of my paws. The fingers
of my right hand have been manned or
splintered so often I can scarcely cite
all the instances 1t was one of George
Mullins fast balls accompanied by
foul tip. that smashed the little finger
of the peg-throwing hand in 1900
While playing on the Fort Wayne team
of the Interstate league. under Man
ager Miller I had the misfortune to
break one finger. The club was up in
the pennant race and Miller refused to
give me layof until the finger recov-
cred. Instead he compelled nae to
work "A games under penalty of a dis
charge.
Catching at all times is the most
dangerous position on the ball field
Take the case of Jack O'Neif the old
Chicago PLAYER. His hands were all
shot to pieces in years of service, but
the hardest blow came when a foul
tip crashed through his mask, binding
him in one eye. This accident drove
O'Nein from the diamond. Among the
catchers who have been more or less
fortunate 7 would mention the names
of Roger Bresnahan of the Cardinals
Pat Moran of the Cubs. Charley Doom
OF the Pittsburg Nationals. Gibson of
Pittsburg. Schlei of the Giants. Billy
Bergen of Brooklyn. and Johnny King.
None of those catchers has been seri-
ous1y hurt behind the bat. Larry Nc
Lean. Jimmy Archer. Billy Sullivan
Joe Sugden. Frank Rowerman belong
in my class as regards hard luck
Chance of the Cubs who held down a
catcf1ers job for ten years prior to 60
ing TO first base is another of the I'M
lucky players.
NO two cstchers work alike. That's
undoubtedly the reason catchers who
go through game after game without
hurting their hands usually suffer in
iuries about the legs, Yet my hands are
always getting in. the way of foul tips.
Catchers are also a superstitious lot
One won't permit another to touch his
glove lest some hoodoo might follow.
Each catcher has his own particular
model, the same as batters have their
favorite stick. These gloves are made
per order in glove factories. There
must be more than 100 different de-
signs. which goes to show the little &C.
centricities of the catcfers. One back
stop Will catch the ball high up on his
glove aGothec viii receive it right in
tile middle of the mitt and others have
different spots we'll worn into the
leather ana padding, showing clearly

vice. and. the three greatest of all are
Mike Kelly. TY Cobb and Hans Wag-
ner. And of these three, Mike was the
greatest. Kelly knew everything. He
could catch. play first. get into the out
field yes and pitch in a pinch as well
as the stars. He knew more baseball
than any man who ever lived. and he
had more brains than any player. Talk
about base stealers, why YOU could put
the ball in front of Kelly by 20 or 80
feet. but he would make the bag with
his peculiar twisting style. The base
man could not touch him, and when
he Strengthened up there was Mike
perched on the base.
Trick plays We're his speciality. and
he was always pulling off something
thet puzzled even the umoires, and
they had to allow the play to go kel' S
way because they aid not know Wha t.
else TO do. Plays that are pulled off
today as wonderful were invented by
Nike and used by him. He was q slow
runner. and still q better base stealer
never lived His head was filled with
brains. and he knew how to use them.
OF the present day players, Wagner
and Cobb excel il their two leagues.
Wagner is a general all around man. a
strong hitter. COBB is star and can
play almost any position in the in or
outfield. Wagner can do the same.
Cobb is quick i'll thinking and pulls off
brainy plays. Wagner looks slow and
ponderous but let me tell you that
Honus possesses plenty or brains and
uses them, while his natural ability
stands him in stead both in the field
and at the bat.
"Of the three players, take Kelly
first, and the partisans of either league
can iick either Cobb or Wagner, and
have great player in each.
Mack has always maintained Kelly
was the quickest thinker baseball ever

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
MARKET CLOSED WEAK.
No Special Demand from Outside
Sources.

New York. Sept. 15.-The principal
factor at work in the stock market
today was the reversal of speculative
operations for the advance attempted
earlier in the week. and which have
not met with encoura ging response by
attracting any substantial demand
from outside sources. There was some
uneasiness over the condition of the
steel industry which had the effect of
giving positive force to the reaction
Price concessions were yielded grudg
ingly and there were signs of resist
ance and individual points of strength
in the market, but the whole market
gave way and closed decidedly weak.
Steel trade advices have pointed 10
a subsistence of the revived demand for
structural forms and some other fin
ished product and to an obvious deter
mination on the part of buyers to hold
off for possible lower prices. Sellers
at the same time We're inclined to com
pete for business by offering down
prices. An estimate published yester-
day of pig iron stocks of 900 600 tons
was disIiked. IT is considered unlikely
that the railroads will depart soon
from the policy OF abstention from
purchases OF supplies in face of the
undetermined question of rate in
creases and the rising tide Of operating
expenses. No consid cradle revival of
activity in the steel trade is looked for
until the railroads come into the mar
ket as free buyers.
Further considers ton of the appar-
ent deadlock caused by the rejection
of the railroad valuation for cotton

suggested possible complica tons cal
culated to affect the money market. 1t
IS likely that the first effect will be to
hasten cotton shipments before the
date of the foreign bankers decision
taking. effect on Oct. 81. The early
fall in foreign exchange rates TO-DAY
was supposed to be A reflection of this
expected forward movement OF cotton.
The London money market was fect-
ed at the same time by some heayy

England for export. Discount rates
rose also in Berlin and Paris seeming
ly in anticipation of the coming quar-
tsrly dividends at the end of the
month. Foreign exchange turned
strong again under these influences
A yielding tendency of the price of
copper added to the depressing infu-
enca of the steel trade position. The
failure to cut down production of that
metal had been partly compensated UP
to this time by the sustained consump-
ton. There is a deep seated appre-
1ension, however, that drastic read
