catchefs has a hard time holding its
own in a pennant race. Few pennants
have been won with d weak catching
staff.
1t is just as essential to have a
catcher who can throw. receive and
think as it is to have a competent
pitching staff. The one depends a lot
on the other. Pitchers are handicapped
by the incompetent catcllers, while
others are made by the aid they get
from the man behind the bat. Many a
pitcher has owed his success to the
catcher who handle his delivery and
advised him how to pitch against the
various hatters that faced him.
John Henry is sure to report in ex-
cellent condition mex spring. He is
spending the winter at Bingham can
yon, Utah, where a college chum of his
is superintendent of a mine, and Henry
is putting in most of his time in the
open and getting plenty of exercise. In
a letter to a friend here he says that he
is thinking seriously of making an in
vestment in some California orange
groves on which he has obtained an
option.
Williams is spending his winter hunt
ing i'll the neighborhood of his home,
at Carthage, IL.
Ed Charity, who comes heralded as
a good hitter and having the making of
a strong catcher, is wintering at his
home in ohio.

Ivan and Gibson. Field, Sullivan and
Gibson were members of the quartet
of last year, and that four was beaten

Pennsylvania by only a few feet IN
very fast time. The new member OF
the aggregation is practically certain
TO lie keene. who is likely to be the
fastest of the four. Keene ran for the
Manchester High School last year, and
is showing even better form than then
Jimmy Mulligan expressed the opinion
that keenc would be able to do close
TO ffty seconds in the quarter before
the end Of the year IL is well hno"h
that Field can run the quarter under
fifty-two seconds. and that Gibson and

There are few major league ball clubs
better fortified with catchers than the
Nationals will be next season, figuring
on John Henry and Alva Williams as
being capable to do all the work. Grif-
fifth still has Ainsmith and the recruit
Charity, but it would not be at all
surprising if Ainsmith were sent to
some other team.
Both Henry and Williams are expert
enced catchers and great throwers.
Williams came to life as a catcher dur
ing the last season. He experienced
a rehankable recovery of his throwing
arm. and did splendid work behind the
bat during the last few months of the
season, when he caught a majority of
the games.
Henry stands in high repute in the
American League. There are several
managers, Jennings and Connie Mack
included. who believe Henry to be one
of the best catchers in the country. He
is a ~tireless worker. and can go through
an entire season without losing a day..
