The catchers of the various clubs

There are hoodoos-hundreds of
them, to the ball players way of
thinking. Take Pittsburg for instance.
The worst hoodoo in that town is the
bug who daily squats back of the first
base, making life miserable for the
man playing that sack. Time and
again l have heard the yowls of that
individual, but never have succeeded
in locating him. He is said to be one
of a clique of gamblers, and it was
largely through the roaring of this
person that Abstein was given a black
eye in the estimation of Pittsburg fans.
The gamblers took strong dislike to

first baseman gradually lost his nerve
under the incessant knocking of the
bunch seated back of the base line.
Every first sacker in the National
league has heard the yowling of this
human coyote. It's little wonder ball
