Corbett's Daily Letter
 On Great Sport Topics
By JAMES J. CoRBETT

Those persons who have been criti- cizing John McGraw for trading "haf ball team for Elmer Smith. the re- markable catcher of the 1918 Roches- ter Internationals. do so without Inc proper appropriation of what a great catcher means to ball club,
 If Smith demonstrates major league skin in keeping with his sensational performances in the minors, McGraw's s move will be deemed a mighty shrewd one. No team can be great unless it has at least one great backstop. And the Giants need nothing half so much now as they do a great and heady re- ceiver And that is what Smith prom ises to be.
 No Club that was weak in the eaten ing department ever annexed flag, vet many clubs.~mediocre otherwise. but powerful behind the bat, have swept through to pennant heights.
 Skim through the major league rec ords of the past Is years and you will find the truth in this Remember tue White Sox of 1906? They didn't have an all-star cast in the infield nor any real wonders in the gardens. And they couldn't hit. But they had quartet of able slabmen-and the great Billy Sullivan behind the bat.
 A catcher. when all is said and done, is the real bulwark of a team. great one always can get the very best ont of the pitchers. He can steady those who are inclined to wobble occasionai- ly and can cause the truly great among the moundsmen to rise to their
