WASHINGTON, June 22.-Prcs!dent
Wilson Will not make an appeal to
the OUTLAW railroad strikers to re-
turn to their posts unless the situa-
tion grows much worse.
This was made plain by Director
General of Railroads and Secretary
OF the Interior John Barton Payne
late today, after the OUTLAW" strike
had been briefly discussed at n
Cabinet meeting.
Railroad union heads yesterday
conferred with Director General
Payne and urged him to lay before
the President the necessity for
prompt action on the railway mems
demand for increased wages.
The situation is brighter" said
Mr. Payne after the meeting. The
mct has been spread among the men
that the decision OF the Railroad
Labor Board in regard to Increased
wages Will be made retroactive to
May l. This has done much to i'm
prove the situation and get workers
back on their jobs.

pitching department, because a catcher
affects the entire pitching staff. espe-
cially one who has been working stead
lily with all the pitchers. So in a way
a team with three catchers of just
average strength may excel one with
one star and two low rating men.
Strength of the Browns in catching
need not be surprising to anyone, as
SEVERED is a near star and his asso-
ciates are far above average. Nor
need one be surprised to find the lowly
Athletics figuring fourth in catching.
Perkins is a regular ginger pot and is
consistent staff behind the plate.
In fact, if there are surprises it will
be in the fact that New York and De-
troit rank so low in comparative catch
ing strength. 1t looks as If Higgins
weakest spot will be behind the plate.
Hannah is a big, willing fellow, a regu-
lar horse for work, but sadly lacking
in finish, nor does he seem to improve.
Muddy Reul is a hustling, aggressive
man, but not great catcher.
looked to see Detroit's annual
weakness remedied to some extent
The fact is that Detroit has been under
a heavy handicap for years because
of inefficient catching, which has af-
fected the naturally weak pitching
squad. Last year Ainsmith himself
not a great catcher but an excellent
man in handling pitchers. got more out
of the Tiger twirlers than they have
shown for years. In spite of this fact,
the figures show the Tigers lamentably
weak in the attacking part of the
catching department.
The hitting of catchers has been de-
creasing steadily of recent years. Prac-
tically the entire list of catchers in
the American League hit and run far
below par. The average attacking
power of all major league players |
figure on a basis of 700. and not one
catching department in the league at
tains the average this season. OF the
individuals Schang, O'Neilt and Schalk
are slightly above average, while Nun
anaker, Pichnic. Charity, SEVERED
and Agnew (and last year Ainsmith)
hit up to the average and lost later
on lack of attacking power in running,
sliding, etc. The others list far down.
On the defensive work the catchers
are well up to major league averages
in the majority of cases.
In the next article we will study the
National League catchers, where it is
probable even greater diversity OF
strength will be found
