BIscHoFF'S SITUATION.

Just what lot will befall George
Bischoff this season is worthy of dis
oussion. At present he is the only real
catching proposition in the local roster
outside of Red Smith.
The kid came down from st. Louis,
green and inexperienced, but departed
in different style. Through the season
run he developed in faster manner than
any in the pack. And he ironed out a
bale of kinks in surprising way,
But Bischoff is still long way from
being a bang-up class A receiver. There
are still a number of tricks attached
to the job that he hasn't mastered
And he isn't the settled performer that
must be part and parcel of pennant
contender.
McCloskey may nominate the kid for
his leading light but in doing so he
will injure his chances. John ]. is too
old a man at the game to overlook the
value and Importance of a veteran and
dependable catcher and should take the
necessary steps to fortify himself in
that department
The difference between being there
and being still on the way is too great
to be overlooked CatChers not only
make or break pitching staff, but they
add to or detract from the general mo-
rale of the club as a whole. And men,
bers of the mask and mitt club are
facing daily dangers unknown to the

CASE OF SMITH.

There is, for instance, the case of
Red Smith, the Logansport Larruper,
He was billed to be a world beater in
1919 with q barrel of class and a column
of accomplishments. But John H. Hard
luck overlook him in the first ten yards
of the dash and tossed him on his thick
red neck. Every time that Red at
tempted to move an ear or Wiggle a
finger heavy foot came down in
threatening manner and babe him rest
in peace.
He was in less than dozen games
before he picked up his first injury
and he stepped out for less than five
additional starts before he was down
again.
This time he seemed gone for good
but went to the outfield and more than
held his own. He looked better than
he really was because he was making
every chance look hard. A finished fielder
would never have gotten the applause
that greeted Red on bagging a fly or
hooking a line drivel
But he went behind the bat again
and the next thing he knew he was
pointed toward Logansport and winter
quarters.
The red head has sworn that he is
through with that end of the game and
maybe he is right, Fate seems to
have picked him as favorite son and
marked him for the hospital.
If he Is No. / on the list of catchers
and blows himself to another mishap

vanish and the Hog Special will claim
