 Sweeney was Russell Ford's bat tery mate in the sticks, and in 1910 the Ford-Sweeney battery was the most talked of battery in the game. IFnder Stallings it looked as though Sweeney would become one of the greatest catchers in the game. and in 1910 and 1911 he was rated among tho hret in his 1eague
 At the opening of the Federal leagne War Sweeney held the Tanks Up for very high salaried contract. Ban Johnson himself signed Sweeney in Chicago and announced at the time that Big Ed was the high salar- led catcher in baseball

ranging from sixteen to forty wears OF
age. measuring carefully the quantity
Of air inspired when elevating the
arms, as usually taught. and when
standing still with the arms hanging
loose. lie found that III no single case
did The arm movements increase the
quantity Of air inspired. but in many
tbeg actually decreased it. He also
found that standing naturally is more
conducive to deep breath ng than ly
ing flat or hanging by the hands.
The raising of the arms" be writes
does apparently increase the measure

but the increase il due TO the change
in the position oc the muscles in this
region ana 70 their contraction o.
stretching. which causes them TO stand
