Catchers Come Into Own
In Batting Privileges
By NEA Service -

Catchers.
What a bigger and really more i'm
portant cog they are to major
league ball team nowadays than a
few years ago.
A backstop used to toll about ev-
cry second or third game. If he par
ticipated in rs tits season he felt
that he was being overworked.
And on the offense he was always
showed way down the batting order.
Eighth place was his usual hitting
station. For, like pitchers, q catcher
wasn't expected to be able to wallop
the horsehide.
But times have changed.
A receiver in the main tent now
has real job. To don the old mask
and chest protector 100 games at a
stretch is not out of the ordinary
with anywhere from 1870 to $50 trays
as n full seasons effort.
And on the attack. Well, a back
stopper today is considered almost
as important factor with the hat
as any other member of the club. He
doesn't go to the plate just because
it's compulsory. He must be able
to massage the apple. A base knock
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1923-07-20

is a base knock. no matter who is on
the clouting end.
Fact is many big league pilots
have moved their receivers up in the
batting list where their ability to hit
the ball will prove more valuable to
the scoring proclivities of the team
eighth place in the battle front is
not good enough for them.
Just glance over the American
League roster for this season. OF
the eight teams in the circuit you'll
see that in only three of them are
the backstops swinging just before
the pitcher as in bygone years.
Higgins of the Yankees has his
receivers hitting sixth, as does Lee
Fohl Of the Browns. "Donie" Bush
employs the same methods with his
Nationals, while Frank Chance and
Connie Mack have cast tradition to
the four winds, the Red Sox receiv-
ers batting second and the Athletics
third.
Detroit, Cleveland and Chicago
are the only teams which have stuck
| to the old order of things.
Catchers! Surely they are n more
important spoke in the wheel of a
big league team than in days Of old.

Puzzling Plays
THE PLAY

THE PLAY -
Here are two plays involving a
foul tip.
There are two strikes on the batter.
He swings at the next ball and fouls
it slightly. It strikes the catcher's
protector and bounds off, the cat
cher recovering the ball before it
touches the ground.
Now FOR play number two.
There are two strikes on the batter.
He swings at the next ball, fouling
it off. 1t strikes the catcher be-
tween the mask and protector, and
is monmentarily held in that position.
Then it dislodges itself and rolls out,
the catcher recovering IL before It
touches the ground.
What about these two plays?
THE INTERPRETATION
In all cases where the. foul tip
comes directly off the catcher's pro-
tector. after striking same, the bats
man is out If the catcher reeovers
the ball before it touches the ground,
provided, there are two strikes on
the batsman, ~ there was IN play
number one.
In play number two, where the
ball was momentarily held between
mask and protector, al chances for
an out on such = p1ay Immediately
cease and the ball becomes dead.

short on hurlers, and the ones they

ting was aimed at Sam Jones.
The visitors from Philadelphia came
out on top in st. Louis, winning in Il
walk, Z to 4, and broke the Browns
winning streak of six in row.
In close pitching battle in Cleve-
land the Indians trimmed the Scna-
tors, to 2. Speakers extra base
