CATCHER HELPS A PITCHER
Otten Happens 5aekstop Is Man to

Another Side to Tale.

Pitchers often owe much Of their
success to their catcher, but there is
another side to the picture. The pitch.

Again, most often 1t is the case the
catcher or the pitcher makes his
fame and success by his own ability.

Skilful or not on his own hook. the
catcher who handles Mathewson's de-
livery Is fortunate. II he is a star
catcher so much the better. Three
backstops have been associated to the
point of reputation with Mathewson
since he became a star. They are
Warner. Bresnahan and Meyers.
Others have caught him. but these
three have done most of the catching
for him. II was in connection with
Mathewson that Bresnahan worked

A Marriage License the Obstacle.

Rhoten, both of Hampstead.
The marriage was to have taken
place in the afternoon, but when a
brother of the bride, who lives in
Baltimore and was to be best man,
arrived it was discovered that letter
sent him had miscarrIed.- This turned
out to be very important missive, as
it contained instructions to 20 to Tow
son and secure license. D
The minister had arrived and all
was in readiness, but without license
nothing could be done. Mr.. Denton
D. Martin, another brother Of the
bride, came to the rescue and said he
would make trip to Towson. He
left Hampstead on western Maryland
train and arranged for team to meet
him at Reisterstown on his return, as
he had to use the electric line from
Baltimore. HE#E #|
Mr.. Martin left Towson with the
document and arrived home about
midnight, when the ceremony was
performed by Rev. @. IT. House.
