tied to their bases. We are i'm
proving all the time, but can go
long way still before they'll class
us with the Walshs and Planks
in this respect.
So that Sweeney, in addition to
having to reach all over the infeld
for our spitters, must keep such
close tabs on the base runners and
get the ball away from him so
rapidly that our deficiencies along
this line will not count too heav-
lily against us.
No catcher with a shorter reach
than Sweeneys could do it. But
Ed. with that mighty reach, can

much whether we give him a good
ball to throw or a bad one.
I T is because he can do all these
things that / class Ed higher
even than Jimmy Archer. and I've
seen Archer catch quite a few ball
games. Archer is in a class by
himself picking base runners off
their bases, but ] doubt very much
whether he can recover a bad ball
and get It away as swiftly and ac-
curately as Sweeney.
Sweeney was probably never in
better shape to start a season than
he is today. He looks a bit heavy
about the face, but he strips light
er by several pounds than he did
year ago. His throwing has been
almost phenomenal, and his bat
ting right up to his usual standard.
