YOUNG CATCHER

Future stars or morning glories,
as the case may be, they're singing
the praises of youth down among
the orange groves, and nobody Is
being boosted to the proverbial
skies more than Jimmy Fox, the
kid catcher of the Philadelphia
Athletics.
Here in the North the bugs may
not have an opportunity to see
much Of Fox for a year or two.
Cornelius McGillicuddy, who is
called Connie Mack FOR that reason,
has two other catchers of consider
able repute on his staff
One of them is Ralph Perkins, a
veteran, who has shown no signs of
slipping. The other is Gordon
Cochrane from the Pacific coast,
who cost Mr.. Mack some $4,000
smackers.

spend the next year Or two wearing
forms on the Athletic bench. He
has made good win Connie Mack.
That is certainy for the Ancient

Fox a choice seat in the dugout

international Also Sprinkled
With Heavy Hitting
Pitchers

Pitchers are not supposed to hit,
lr is said. And maybe it is the un-
expected-when one of them does
deliver a resounding blow-that
gives the thrill to the performance
To the fans it is great joke on
the opposing pitcher, though walk
ing" a pitcher is a greater "criine"
charged against the man in the
box than permitting him to get that
unexpected hit.
However, there are some pitchers
who have acquired regulations as
,oatsmen, but so scarce are they
the club that has even one Of the
sort 10 congratulated on its good
fortune.
Inspection of averages for the
1924 season, taken at random,
might indicate that hitting pitch
ers' group in certain leagues. The
Pacific Coast League, for instance,
has quite a formidable lot of them;
its list of 800 or better hitters is
pIentifully sprinkled- with pitchers.
The International is another league
with more than the average pro-
portion of pitchers who have high
batting averages.
On the Toronto team of the In
ternational the past season, were
three pitchers we'll above the 800
mark-Satterfield with .359, CHASER
with .319 and Reynolds with .311.
When that team took the field it
had some guarantee of nine men
who could hit; as the saying goes
Other hitting pitchers in the Iii
ternational were Reinhart Of SH
cuse, who hit 1921, and Jackson OF
Baltimore.
