Squatting behing the eTeE-prcsent batter. man on first and a man on second. Jimmp Archer watched Tin- ker's expressive left fore finger slide down the side of Joseph's pants. James still remained squateed. his nonchalant poise did not vary, but of a sudden there. was a click, snap ping Of Jimmys wrist. a narrowing of his eyes. and the ball whizzed into Tinker's mitt barely in time Q catch the man on second; but it was in time, and that is fiatfoot Jimmy Arch CTS leading suit, says the Chicago Daily Journal
 Jimmy Archer is a plague to base runners. During the ten games that the Cubs nipped in the recent win ming streak, again and again the Cab catcher speaTed them on first, second and third, ripped them down before the runner could bat an eye. and each time the ball came singing into the infielder's glove. Jimmy Archer re mained curaed like the letter z be- hind the plate

 When Chance and Holman played first it was the same story. The ?. l.. has himself maryeled as he felt the sting in his glove and noted the innocent attitude of his unperSurbed backstop. Jimmy Archer is not a mighty batsman, but he can hit in q pinch, and he isn't afraid to swing It's his wonderful wrist, his quick eye and heavyweight think machine that give him his stellar berth on the Cub team.
 Back when Archer played on the Detroit team this same ability pro yoked Manager Hugh Jennings. who tried to instill into Jimmy's brain a few laws of physics and the perfect use Of the body. Although "E-lah' presented a whole library Of indis- putable proof to the skeptical catch. CT which decisively insinuated that there was 8 heap more power in 3 mans arm than in his wrist, Jimmy begged to differ, which, it is rumored. was the cause for his subsequent re lease to Buffalo.
 Like all of the better-stuff catchers, there was a time when Archer's teeth - CE2LfGrad- when ha. nEtGn9n ln 1nG h. iimidating suggestion of an early man ager that he ~try it behind the bat. It was while playing in the outfeld cn the Atlanta team, seven or so years ago, that Jimmy uneonsciously turned down the right road by try ing 1t behind the bat"
 Didn't Want to Catch.
 Nix, nix said Jimmy, at the time in a frozen sweat. Added to the nat ural dislike that a player has to let the mile-a-minute swing of the batter tickle his nose a hundred time day, there was the usual thought, Nc one cheers a catcher" Each time the backstop lets the ball bank into his mitt, or picks the foul tip of the bat g jerk ahead of disaster he's made a play"
 The bugs talk about him in sooth- ing recesses and cozy corners as they drink their drinks, as bugs Will but they forget to applaud when they're the yelling and iooney bugs of the grand stand. Archer doped it out this way, but he took the chance. The bugs don't yelp at the good catch oi the average good-stuf catcher, but there's considerable acclaim of the noisy kind when Jimmy pulls the trigger on his forty-two calliber throw and pumps the pill across the diamond
