young catcher of the Phillies. Consid-
ering. that he has had but little expe-
rience and is virtually getting his first
chance to catch in the majors, he has
been able to throw out the Boston run
ners with a frequency which proves
that there is nothing wrong with his
throwing arm and he also has dis
played some judgment in his work be-
hind the plate.
OF course, he is not yet Killefer, but
he is sure to develop and in a year or
SO will be apt to be classed with the
best catchers in the old league.
The Phillies' sluggers may do lot
of damage in the remaining games, but
to date they have not raised much
fuss. There must be a material diff
ference in the pitching in the two big
leagues if the Phillies hit as their
record in the old league shows. To
and the Boston pitchers have fooled
them more than once. OF course. this
may be but a temporary slump, and
the Moran players may come through
with vengeance in the remaining
games, but no one seems to think SO,
because the Carrigan pitchers have
shown themselves to be their masters.
Manager Carrigan broke into the
lineup for the first time in some
weeks. He did not do anything at the
bat, nor did he have an opportunity
to show what sort of a throwing arm
ne had. but he handled Leonard very
well and kept him steady. which. of
course, helped him not little. Car

the southpaw is attributed.
Carrigan has the reputation of being
wise man behind the plate. and he
certainly must have given Leonard the
more effective than he was yesterday.
