NEW LONDON RUNNERS
DO THE ROAD COURSE
johnson Goes Round Trip in 40
Smith Finishes Here Strong in 1.26.

Samuel Johnson and Wilbur W.
Smith of New London both carried out
the running programme on Saturday
which they had outlined, Johnson
making the round trip from New Lon
don Y M. c. A. to Norwich and return,
and Smith doing the distance one
way.
Johnson started first from New Lon
don at 1907. for the round trip, reach
ing Norwich Y. NJ. C. A, looking pref
ty well tagged out, at 2.03, which made
1 hour So minutes for the first half of
the distance. He drank a generous
quantity of water and started off again
at 2.05, reaching New London again
in time that made the round trip 4
hours 40 minutes he reported.
Smith made the run later in the day,
starting from the New London Y. M
G A. at exactly 8 o'clock and reaching
the Norwich Y. NJ. c. A. at 4.26 by the
town clock. He claimed 1925 for his
time, as he said he lost about minute
looking for the building. On Sunday
night in New London he stated that he
was willing to bet 800 that he could
do it in 1.20 or better. Smith was &C
companied by Dennis Shea of New
London on bicycle, the latter looking
more "het up" by the task than the
runner did. Smith finished in fine con-
ditfon, running at a strong gait, but
not speedy and said he believed he
could knock off at least five minutes

CATCHER GETS HIS KNOCKS.
Man Behind the Mask Has No Snap
Job-Blamed for Faults of Others
Sometimes.

Don't get it into your head for a
minute that the catching Job is soft
If you happen to have such a belief
just don the mask and protector some
day and then you will suddenly awake
from your rarebit dreams, advised a
prominent big Lacquer in a tanning bee
1 have often heard people say that the
catching end of the game was the
easiest of all; that all the man in that
position had to do was to don q fat
glove and receive and throw the ball
much after the manner OF an automa-
ton. The receiving and throwing are
the simplest features of the baclStop s
daily routine. To him the pitcher looks
for the signs as to what to serve, while
the infielders watch him just as close
ly to discover what play he intends to
pull off on the base r6nners.
Then it would seem that the catch
ing end of the game is quite impor-
tant. Yet the backstop gets little
chance to shine or win the plaudits OF
mechanical. while few of his many
brainy plays are apparent to the spec
tators in the stands.
TwrIer May Look Too Fast.
If he performs faultlessIy behind the
bat he is only doing what is expected
of him, yet if he drops quite a few
pitched balls the fans will contend that
the twirler is too fast for him. If he
throws out ambitious base runners he
is only performing part of his many
duties; if he fails to stop them steal
ing he is accused of having a bum arm
and is roundly abusedA If he wastes
two or three balls and gets a man
stealing second Or third he is pro-
nounced a brainy backstop. If the
player happens to oItguess him and
he wastes the balls to no purpose,
thereby getting the pitcher in the hole,
he is accused of using poor judgment.
That catcher also comes in for a lot
of abuse that is undeserved and which

else. Well do I recall a game of last
summer that. Paddy Livingstone, the
clever Athletic backstop, worked in
faultless style, yet was blamed for the
defeat, simply because the twirler
working the game failed to hold the
runners on the bases.
Paddy Livingstone Bumped by Fans.
The Athletics and Detroits were
playing one of the many important
series waged by these two teams.
Krause was working for the Athletics
and Livingstone doing the receiving.
The Tigers were having their troubles
hitting Krause, but when man
reached first he almost invariably
scored, for no sooner did he reach first
than he Immediately stole second and
third. Detroit won the game that day,
3 to /, although outllit by the Athlet-
les. Five bases were stolen on Paddy
Livingstone, second base three times
and third base twice. In two instances
the men who stole third, Cobb and
Moriarty, scored on flies to the out
field while the other run was the re-
suit of a ssteal of second and a single.
Livingstone came in for more than
his share Of knocks that evening, but
Paddy was in no way responsible for
the steals. The youngster krauSe
lacked experience, failed to watch the
bases closely and took quite a long
windup On every steal the base run
ner had gained almost half the dis
lance to the other base before Krause

Season Ticket Plan for Whitman

Now that the season is almost at
hand baseball affairs are beginning to
sizzle in Willimantic. The prospects
for a first class nine in the Connect
cut Baseball association look good.
President Dunn of the league stated
Saturday that in all probability four
or more players would sign contracts
for the Thread city nine this COM
ing week He also stated that John
]. Curran, the old time first baseman
and ump, who has been giving such
general satisfaction during the past
three years, had affixed his signature
to an umpire's contract. Mr.. Curran
will, therefore, be the man to handle
the Indicator for the new league. c..
H Clark Of Cobalt was also in con-
ference with Mayor Dunn Saturday
and the president said that Mr.. Clark
would in all probability be another
umpire although he proposes to await
the action of the other managers in
the league who have been requested
TO send in the names of men whom
they would sanction to officiate as
umpires around the circuit.

Talking to the Batter.
There is another feature of the

mentioned that the fans never hear of
which plays a prominent part in the
game. 1t is the talking of the catcher
to the batter. engaging him in CONVEX
sation for the purpose of taking his
mind off his main thought, that of hit
ting the ball. There are quite a few
catchers who never indulge in debate
with the batter, yet there are many
who seldom let a man get away from
the plate without saying something to
him.
A youngster in his first appearance
is liable to be greeted with something
like this:
