FIG COAST LEAGUE is
OF BASEBALL
and when the drafts are put in Man
ager Del Howard feels confident that
the boy will be among those called to
the big brush.
Sepulveda's case parallels that of
another great catcher, who, looked
upon as a mere novice, created one
of the sensations of the baseball
world when called upon to catch in
a regular game because of injuries
to the other catchers on the team.
The player was Lou Criger, regarded
as one of the greatest receivers the
game has known, but who was
knocked out in his prime by strange
nervous malady.
For an entire season he had been
kept on the Cleveland bench by Patsy
Tebeau, then manager of the famous
Spiders. Chief thinner was first
string catcher, but an injury put him
on the shelf. Then misfortune be-
fell all of the other catchers until only
Criger was left Tebeau was in de-
spair, but he took a chance and sent
for Criger behind the bat. Before the
game had gone two innings Tebeau
realized that he had unknowingly
been keeping a star under cover.
The boy threw to second with re-
markable precision and terrific speed,
nipping runner after runner and to-
ward the end of the game he made
the opposition feel so much respect
for him that no further attempts
were made to pilfer bag. At bat as
well as behind it he shone, and he
soon became known as one of the
best aIl-around catchers in the Ma

KID CATCHER OF PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE is
MILLIONAIRE OF BASEBALL.

San Francisco, CAL, March a.
Louis Sepulyeda, kid catcher of the
San Francisco baseball team. and the
receiving member of the pony battery
of Arlett and Sepulveda,. plays ball
from preference rather than neces-'
sity. --,z- : -. ,....---. .-.r..
Sepulveda, as a matter of fact; is
the millionaire kid of the Coast
League and instead of riskihg the
chances of suffering a few baseball
fingers" could spend all his life in
ease and affluence The Sepulvedas,
who are of Spanish extraction, live
in San Pedro, harbor port of Los An
geles, and SepulYeda, ST., is credited
with owning good share of the
country Whereabouts. Also Louis, who
is boy of 20, has much property in
his own name and when he is at home
sports a high-powered automobile.
He passed through the San Pedro
high school, all right, and then the
lure Of baseball caught him. His first
professional experience was with the
Vancouver club, from which team he
was purchased by San Francisco.
Last year his attention was chiefly
devoted to warming the bench. This
year is going to be different story
There is only one thing that Louis re-
grets. 81 wish" he said, that l had
entered college instead of plunging
into baseball right off the bat"
Although the playing season has
not yet opened, Sepulveda already is
being hailed as the greatest catcher
ever developed on the Pacific coast
