early innings Of the first game,
Sweeney had his hand split open
with one of Ford's eccentric spit
tiers. The Highlander was never
the same again. He did not pitch
the wonderful ball he is capable
of in that series. He had no con-
idence in the numbering Mitchell
to handle his "spitters," to think
fast; in short, to outguess the bat
tiers.
Some catchers have a very busy
habit of talking all the time to
annoy a batter in an effort to dis
tract his attention from his work.
John King, of the Chicago Cubs,
known in baseball as a bad man
with a batter, 'chewed" %incessant-
ly during the worlds series in
which we won the championship
from the Cubs. He seemed to
want to distract attention from
the pitcher. A favorite line of
his was:

Just as soon tell the batter where

catcher. In only a few instances
does the pitcher give the signals.
So much faith have ONE pitchers
in certain catchers that they pitch
altogether a different brand Of base
ball to other men. This is particu-
larly true of Krause, the Philadelphia
left handler, who pitched such sensa-
tiotnal ball in the season of 1909, and
of Ford, of the New York American
league club, who was the thrill of
the league last season with his
double breaking spitball. Krause had
no confidence in any catcher except
Ira Thomas, and Ford could not work
tremendously without ED" Sweeney.
These catchers did all the thinking
for the two great twirlers, and their
work in the box was purely me-
chanical.
