Ansermeier May be Kept.

Leo Angermeier. the only catching
recruit on the club, is a star the
embryo, but he's just a big 10y of
physical promise, and he would have
to crowd out Johnny King. Jimmy
Archer or Tom Needham, all smart
and great catchers. to get even the
position of third man on the catching
staff with the Cubs.
Angermeier can stand up at the
plate and hit balls with the same ease
that J. Ham Lewis makes a speech.
It's just as natural. They cant pitch
'em too fast. and he always is ready
to meet the ball. They can try a
slow one on him and his swing is
timed with the speed of the ball. The
fast ones he bangs against the fence
and the slow ones he Just lifts over
the infeld. He's as handy with the
bat today as any man on the team.
But he doesn't class with King
