The catchers have been doing rather
poor work in the amateur circuits this
season. Stolen bases are frequent in
the great majority of the games, and
the general effectiveness of the re-
ceivers is certainly below the usual
standard. In fact, to come down to
the fine points Of the matter. there are
not more than two or three really
capable men playing that position in
the city.
The main fault to be found with the
work of the men behind the bat is that
they have not beer able to stop whole
sale stealing of bases. There are few
games in which there are not eight
or ten pliers and in many they run
up as high as twenty. OF course this
may be due in measure to the pitchers
not holding the runners close to the
bags, but in the greater part of the
tests the men have been safe because
of inaccurate throws.
Many of the catchers do not handle
the ball any too well. and few Of them
use good judgment in their work with
the pitchers There are many of the
youngsters working behind the bat
with whom this lack of knowledge is
simply a matter Of not having had
sufficient experience.
There is one main reason why the
catchers do not do as well as they might
they do not play enough. No catcher in
the world can go out once or twice a
week. doing nothing in the meantime,
and be generally effective. 1t takes
practice. and much practice to keep in
condition to throw quickly and accurately

LORIM[ER.

Former Senator Lorimer of Illinois
has been indicted by a federal grand
jury for completely in banking frauds
in Chicago. The fact that a man has
been indicted is not proof of his guilt.
A great many innocent men have been
indicted. But SO many things have
come to light concerning the banking
practices of Lorimer and the men
with whom he was associated that it is
very evident, without indictment or
anything Of the sort. that these men
were engaged in a business which they
knew to be shady, and hat they made
false representations to the public,
and that, If what they were doing was
not criminal, it ought to be.
Lorimer is a man Of considerable
notoriety. He was expelled from the
United States senate because his cleo
ton had been procured by fraud, and
the expulsion Of a man from the SEN
ate is such a serious matter that it
is not done except for very substan-
tial easons. The facts of the sena-
torial election sculduggery were SO
SoiAiptCIClS pAotou IIdI IHSy were not
seriously denied. The only point in
which there was a dispute was as to
the personal completely of Lorimer in
the scandal. He and his friends de-
clared that he was personally inno-
cent and ignorant of the existence Of
any fraud. In order to believe that it
was necessary to believe that the
whole air at the Illinois capital YVES
reeking with the stencil Of corruption
and Lorimer, one of the smoothest
and shrewdest politicians in the state.
knew nothing about 1t. That was too
great a strain on credulity. More re-
Gently the banking scandal has come
to light, and it is an undeniable fact
that multitudes Of people entrusted
their savings to the Lorimer chain of
banks, relying on the false represen-
tations made on their behalf, and on
the bold front presented by them.
Lorimer is said to be a man of very
correct personal habits. His domes-
tic relations are said to be ideal, he
does not drink, and he does not do a
number Of other reprehensible things
which are often done by other men.
Because of this it was urged that he
be retained in the senate, and it has
since been urged that he should not
be punished for banking frauds. Per-
sonal propriety is IN excellent thing
whose value is not to be underesti-
mated under any circumstances. But,
II we were compelled to make a choice
between the man who is personally
proper and crooked and corrupt in
every other way, and the lar who,
while yielding occasionally to appe-
tites and passions which he should
control, is governed in all his rela-
lions with others by a keen sense of
honor, and who is too big to be eth
er a sneak or a crook, we should take
IL chances with the latter every
time,
