JOHNNY BASSLER AND HIS
THINK CAP.

Johnny Bassler, rookie catcher
Of Ty CObb's Tigers. uses mental
telepathy in his baseball.
His uncanny ability to outguess
batters and base runners and cross
them up has stamped him as a gen.
uine California jewel.
Already he is being mentioned in
the same class with Ray Schalk of
the White SOx, Steve O'Nein of the
Indians and Ralph Perkins Of the
Athletics.
And that is the most select class
Of catchers in the majors today.
While Georges Carpenter was
credited with the hypnotic eye to
win him knockouts, Bassler uses his
inherent cunning to assist in piling
up strikeouts and putouts.
Nips Base Runners.
In a recent game against the
White Sox the Tiger rookie cut down
four Of Kid Gleason's runners on the
paths.
Three of these were the result Of
Bassler outguessing Chicago on the
.it-and-run play.
The hit-and-run play is always
the thorn in the catcher's path.
When properly executed this play
is figured to be almost invincible.
1t is the catcher's job TO prevent it.
South Bend news-times., 1921-04-28

But in order to block It he must
sense that it is coming and cross the
batter.
This is just what Bassler has
shown he is able 10 cope with.
Cobb watched Bassler work on the
Los Angeles club in the Coast league.
He sized Bassier up as a rare strate-
gist and picked him off.
His throw To the bases is called
the "sling-shot" peg. He throws
from any position where he happens
to trap the ball.
Handles Pitchers Well.
Also Bass'cr knows how to handle
pitchers. All the Tiger hurlers want
to work with him because he not
only holds them but he helps them
pick the batters' weaknesses.
On top Of this the Tiger backstop
can hit.
Bassler is 26. He had brief trial
with the Cleveland club in 1913 and
1914.
Shipped to the Coast league for
seasoning he has developed his
mind d-reading ability to an almost
uncanny sense.
Last year with the Los Angeles
club he piled UP 100 assists. leading
all catchers in this department. He
was second in putouts. having 496.
Transplanted back to the majors
this year Bassler is blooming-as the
seasons best catching find.

South Bends popular boxing idol,

fore local fans tonight when he
meets frankie Berry, champion
welterweight boxer of Michigan, in
the final bout Of fOur contests vary
ing from four to ten rounds at the
oliver theater. Welsh and Berry
will go ten rounds.
Welsh returned from Jack
O'Keefe's gym in South Chicago
Wednesday after spending two weeks
there preparing for this engagement.
Word from the Illinois city is au-
thority for the statement that
Welsh is in the veritable pink Of
condition and prepared to open the
eyes of his home town folks with a
bewindering attack. If this be true
then Berry will probably be due for
bad evening, even though he is
champion of the boys OF his class in

type OF fighter that fans like to pay
their money to see in action. Near

rather pay his money TO see two
lads go into the ring determined to
sock his opponent into a state Of
coma rather than see two of the
most scientific boxers exchange taps

slamming type of boxing TO the other
because the Burns-Nemith bout
which was staged as a preliminary to
the recent RoOt-Henry affair brought
the most enthusiastic approval Of
any bout with few exceptions ever
staged in this city.
Both Burns and Nemith socked
with all their might. They were
matched to meet tonight but unfor-
tunately Nemith has injured his
nose. so his match maker states, and
the bout had to be cancelled. This
is somewhat Of a disappointment to
admirers Of both lads for this bout
held much promise.
Attractive Prclims.
In addition to the headliner be-

bouts are scheduled for the evening.
The first two will be OF four rounds

who aspire TO become known in fis-

matched.
