Machine Shop to Travel.
The day may come" the report
says. when the travelling machine
shop will be a familiar sight upon our
rural highways"
Among the motorized shops created
were the photolithographie press
trucks, which were able to reproduce
maps from original sketches within ~
hours as compared with four days re
quired by similar French and British
units.
A special chapter is devoted to lis
tening instruments developed during
the war to locate hidden guns. I'M
proving upon Allied designs, the engi-
neer corps produced machines for this
purpose which operated with "un-
canny accuracy" one of them having
spotted III German gun positions in a
single day. Subsequently these were
followed by instruments of even
greater power and at the close of the
war there were IL complete outfits,
each covering a five-mile stretch of
front, at work on the American lines
Similar development of instruments
for locating hostils airplanes were car
ried out until it was possible to de-
termine the location of a raider at
night within an angle of three de-
grees. The American types produc-
ed were easily portable and quickly
set up to aid the searchlights. A hint
at the scientific developments which
were in sight in connection with these
sound ranging devices is contained in
the following paragraph:

to get under cover. Such a develop

Except for lack of time in the brief
second between the firing of the gun
and the arrival of the shell, it would
be quite possible with this proposed
apparatus to calculate almost exactly
where the shell would land"

The engineers were at work when
tie fighting ended upon a mechanism
which would enable them to control
searchlights from distance.
The chapter devoted to the work OF
the Engineer Corps in France draws a
vivid picture of the duties of the
combat engineers who played their

CATCHERS HELP
PITCHERS MUCH
Averages Show That Good
Backstop Priceless.

We were lamping the averages Of big
league catchers the otner day and tho
thought bobbed up again as to how
many persons give catchers credit for
helping to make great pitchers, writes
Jack Keene. Very few, probably, be-
cause they are interested mostly in
the pitchers.
But great catchers in their day have
played an important part in turning
out great hurlers.
One hears a lot more about Old Hoss
~Radbourne, Mccormick, Cy Young and
other great FINGERS than one does about
Buck Ewing, Mike Kelly, Chief Zim-
mer, O'Connor, Barney Gilligan, Little
Nava and Bushong.
Cy Young often has said that Chief
thinner and O'Connor deserved much
Of the credit for his wonderful work
with the old Cleveland club from 1890
to 1899,
Cy has said that nan Of the great
victories for which he was given all the
credit were achieved through the abili-
ty of those backstops.
Mike Kelly was one OF the brightest
and quickest thinkers in the game, old
timers will tell you,
Ewing's happy spirit, his ability to
make pitchers buck UP in dark mo-
ments in the game and his strategy
made him a catcher to be feared by
the opposition. lie was a terrific hit
ter and a speedy man on the bases.
But first of all he was a s%trategist.
When Old Hoss Radbourne was start
ling the world with his pitching, Barney
Gilligan and Little Nava were catching
his shoots with bare hands. His speed
was terrific. The pain must have been
terrible until the hands Of the back
stops became puffed up and bruised
to the point of numbness.
Bushong was a dentist and had the
soft, velvety hands of one, But day
after day he handled the bullet de-
livery Of Mccormick without flinching.
The catchers of today have big mitts,
chest protectors and other equipment
to protect them, but to shine in tho
big show they must have the skill and
thinking ability still.
What part did Roger Bresnahan and
Bowerman play in M~athewson's career?
How about Ainsmith's work for years
at the other end of Johnson's shoots?
The part Ray Schalk, Steve O'Neill
and some Of the other star catchers of
the present day must play in the pitch
ing achievements Of their mates must
not be underestimated,
