T:eing a catcher is pleasanter than try

snatching the sizzling ball from the ad-
jacent vicinity. or digging 1t from the
hard ground in front OF him, the
catcher must at all tirles he prepared
to snatch off his mask. and run two
blocks over bat-boys. water pals and
specta tors after fouls. He must ALSO
hear in mind while uncoupling his
spine. in order to reach farther for a
swift outshoot that the base runner is
on the way to second and that he must
have the ball there to serve as a recep-
tion committee. He must talk f1uently
with tie batter, who will snub MIN, and
With the umpire. who will hot believe
him when he catches a ball in another
ward, and Jerks it back over the plate.
Ii Is also his priceless privilege to stand
in front of The home plate and allow

his shins feet first
Good catchers train for the season by
massaC ing their hards in a corn-sheller,
and allowing bulldogs to Snaw their
ankles until they have become properly
calloused. A good durable catcher will
last fer many wears. Put after forty,
