HAS BIGGEST BASEBALL HAND
Mike Kshoe, Scout for Washington
Team, Says Eddie Ainsmith viii
Be Greatest Catcher.

Eddie Alnsmith, the Nationals
young catcher, who Is attracting so
much attention by his brilliant work,
and who bids fair to be the sensation
Of the American league this season,
carries around with him the largest
pair OF hands known to baseball.
SO big are Alnsmith's bread hooks
that he cannot buy gloves to fit, and
during the cold days in Cambridge,
Mass, he is forced to don mittens.
The digits on Ainsmith's throwing
hand are badly twisted and look like
branches of a guarded oak, but he is
not handicapped in the least. and
claims that this misshapen bunch OF
flves does not bother him in throwing
to bases.
1t has been said that Frank Bower
man of the New York Giants had
only to hold up both hands and one
might see the complete deaf and
dumb alphabet there. According to
the veteran, Mike Kahoe, Ainsmith's
hands are almost twice the size Of
Bowermans, and the scout also de-
clares that in two years the former
will be the greatest backstop known
to organized baseball

lot to watch and If the catcher keeps
them watching him all the time he
takes their minds of the other duties
