the storm pretty well. There is no
doubt that the shinguard does great
good, but incidentally 1t has also
worked harm TO the game In otner
ways.
The trouble lies with the abuse that
has been made of the shinguard-
Adopted primarily to protect the
catcher from bumps and spike
wounds. the catcher has turned It's
use to a different direction. OF Tar
more Importance than the protection
offered. is the advantage it gives the
catcher over the base runner. with
great many backstops. the main
use to be made of shinguards is to
make it possible to effectively block
the plate. Now, when catcher ng-
ures the play is going to be close he
thinks more about blocking the plate,
that is so standing that there Is put
little for the runner left to touch. than
he cares about the ball. his mann
thought seems to be to keep the run
ner from the plate, and let the oah
come when it will.
As a result of this practice. any
number of injuries have resulted at
the plate, not to the catcher as you
perhaps supposed. but to the base
home plate. The catcher has aoso-
lutely nothing to fear. His inch pads
make him practically immune from
injury. | have seen number OF run
ners get their spikes caught IN the
catchers pads. and suffer badly
wrenched ankles. In every case the
runner has gotten all the worst OF II.
If the catcher was simply allowed a
felt pad, after the type worn by the
inffelders. he wouldn't be so crazy
about blocking runners off. Incident
ally better base running would re-
suit. There is rule which gives the
umpire the right to declare a. runner
safe, if a fielder block him before
having the ball. but so many of the
plays are of such a close nature that
it always requires a hair-line ruling

Explained Everything.

While Chase is waiting for decision
in his case his friends are confident he
will be cleared. The testimony in the
case was not made public. but it is
known that Chase spent most of the
afternoon of the trial on the stand
and it is said that he explained all the
circumstances in the case made out
against him. 1t is said that he even
went further and explained previously
unknown circumstances in connection
with troubles he had in the past in the
American League. particularly while
he was with the Yankees. This evil
dence was offered because his past -ac-
lions in base bali had been brought
into the case.
IL McGraw Is able to include Chase
on the New York roster his main
problems will be solved. He will have
rounded out a team with which he
will be ready to face the pennant race.
Although he did not succeed in Undue
