ing to a letter received here today
newspaper writer here, but now in
service in France.
THE United States troops are
revelation Of the Germans" writes
Mr.. Locklin. THE prisoners from
the Boche lines say they never saw
such fighting. They are surprised
at the number Of Americans in it.
and by their mode of fighting. They
are taken by surprise in almost ev-
cry attack. The Americans seem to
do just what the Germans don't ex-
pect them to do"
The regiment, in which Mr.. Lock-
lin is a member, saw action As min
utes after 1t hit the trenches, and he
Rdda:
They had never been under fire
before, but they shattered mass Of
Germans at that point with machine
gun fire, and moved on to another
point where they covered a counter
attack the French made. I tell YOU
when we know what the boys are
doing up there little way, It makes
us mighty impatient to be with
them"
Mr.. LoclsIin adds that a minstrel
show put on by the boys was. a big
success, and that we are living like
kings, and should have nothing to
complain Of"

@RE CECERS OF HALF CENTURY AGO STOPPED BEHIND THE PLATTE
VIII u1OE0 HANDS. uNMASkEO FACES AND lNAp0E0 RopesI

the old time backstops were unable
to accustom themselves to the mask
when it arrived.
One Of these was Bill Harbidge
Of the Philadelphia, who made sew
eral attempts to catch with the mask
on and each time threw it off in dis
gust and caught with his face I'M
protected. He claimed that he could
not see the ball through the wires
Of the mask.
But most of the backstops well
coined the mask and preserved their
features by its use.
Up to 1880 the batter was out il
the catcher got the third strike on
the bound or if a foul was caught on
the first bound, but the rules were
changed in that year by which the
out on the bound, either a third strike
or a foul, was done away with, and
the catchers were compelled to go
up behind the bat as soon as the
batter had two strikes.
Catcher Moved up In 1901.
: In 1901 a rule was passed to the
effect that the catcher must stay be-
hind the bat all the time and must
play within ten feet Of the batsman.
The American league in that year
amended the rule so as to leave out
the ten foot clause, and from that
day to this the backstops have
squatted behind the hitters.
But they were amply protected in
that year, and the armor they wore
has been added to and improved so
that the catcher Of today has only
one vulnerable spot and that is his
throwing hand. He wears a glove
as large as a ham on his catching
hand, has a pneumatic pad that COW
ers his body from the throat to knees
and then wears leg pads from his
knees to his ankles, with heavy
leather cups over his kneecaps.
The masks now worn are so strong
and well made that it is impossible
for a ball to reach the catcher's face.
AS the case stands, the catcher is
not so much in danger as the pitcher,
who frequently has trouble lodging
line hits and vicious grounders. But
the old timers of the baclcstop
brigade, who played for years with
out any defensive armor at all, car
ried the marks Of battle to the grave.
