Mig and Paddy, Former
Indian Receivers, Back
Going Good in Ma iors

Two of the peppiest pepper boxes
seen in the big league training camps
this spring are Mig Clarke of the Pi-
rates, and Paddy Livingston of the Red
Sox, both former indianapolis players.
Both were employed as coaches of the
young pitching talent and the new catch
ers coming in, but they are in such good
physical shape and have come back so
well that they may be seen catching
every once In while this season. 1t was
coincidence that the two should be
training right across the road from each
other. The Pirates and Red Sox trainin 6
at Hot Springs.
Both OF the old fellows are working
their heads of. The fire of youth has
not died In their breasts. Paddy isn't ex-
pecting to do a whole lot of catching,
but Mig is as ambitious as the youngest
recruit.
There has been quite a change in
Clarke since he returned from war serv-
ice. He has forgotten some of the bad
habits that took him down from his
throne as one Of the best catchers in the
American league. That was several sea-
sons ago.
And Paddy-well. let stuTy McInnis
tell It:
"He-looks better than I ever saw him"
and Stuffy saw him when he was in his
prime.
