miles, if each succeeding shoe was
pitched from where the previous
one had landed.

half pounds and was thrown forty
feet. Now just how much energy
was needed to pitch these horse
shoes?

MOTHER major league vet
n eran, Cy Perkins, catcher
Ill Of the Athletics, may do
bench duty a good portion Of the
coming season.
Perkins, who not long ago rated
with the backstopping stars, is apt
to be showed into the background
by two youngsters, Micky Coch-
rane and Jimmy Fox. Cochrane,
1t will be recalled, bore the brunt
Of the Athletics catching work
last year. It was his first in big
time, too.
