New York, n. Y, June 4-FOr the
last few years, National league critics
have boosted OF their catchers and de-
clared that the American league had
nothing in the backstOpping line to
compare with King, Archer, Doom.
Brenahan. Gibson and others OF almost
equal ability. Last year they added
Chief Meyers of the Giants to their list
Of National league stars and declared
that the American league could not
show the indians peer.
Perhaps they were right Certainly,
King showed up the Detroit catchers
during the worlds series of 1897 and
1907 while Gibson most assuredly had
il on the Tiger receivers during the
battles in the fall of 1903. It was pre-
sumably because Of the superiority
shown by the National Ieaguers in
those three set-tOes that caused their
partisans to declare that the younger
circuit was weak behind the bat
Guess they did have the edge on
the American league in 1909. but Ira
Thomas and Jack Lapp did not suffer
by comparison with Johnny King in
1910. while the same pair held their
own with Chief Meyers last fall But

What about Jimmy Block, who has
caught every game except one for
the White SOx this season and cap

Benz. LANCE, Scott and MOgridge and
batted close up to 400 at the same
time Chicago is leading the league
by a big margin and had not Block

Mlnufe Men

The so-called organization OF Min.
ute Men came into existence shortly
before the outbreak Of the Revolution.
The patriots Of Massachusetts and
other New England colonies banded
themselves together, obtained arms
and pledged themselves to the de-
tense OF the colonies "at a minutes
notice" From this pledge TO take up
arms "at Q minutes notice" they got
their name.
The Minute Men were enrolled in
pursuance Of the act OF the Provin-
cial congress, which was passed on
November 20, 1774. Many names that
we're destined to become famous in
the Revolution appeared in this roster
of patriots. In the beginning they
we're expected to serve only In the
Now England colonies, but when the
conflict cine no thought was taken of
this, Tho Massachusetts Historical
society has list OF the patriots who
we're enrolled as Minute Men.
