One OF the pleasantest surprises
Of the current baseball season
pleasant at least to Ohioans-has
been the little short of sensationa.
play of the Cleveland Indians.
The brilliant stand Of the stalwart
Redskins against the warlords Of the
west, and strong hosts Of the east in
the American league, has been due in
the main to excellent pitching.
1t is becoming more evident daily
that the Tribe has the best hurting
staff in the junior circuit and at the
head Of their rifle squad stands
George Uhle, veteran now starring
in a comeback role Of great proper
tions.
II Is an old saying in the American
league that as Ruth goes so go the
Yankees. The same phrase is appli-
cable to Uhle and the Indians.
Last season Uhle won eight and
lost nine. a terrific flop from his
1926 showing when he won rs anG
lost IL. And that year the Tribe was
in second place. When Uhle was
stumbling along last season the Tribe
was nowhere.
Uhle had q poor year in 1925 and
so did the Tribe. That season George
scored but 10 wins and II loses and
the Indians floundered in sixth posi-
ton.
Going still further back. We find
Uhle in 1924 winning only nine
games and losing 10 and the Indians
way down in the second division. Blu.
III 1928 when George won 26 and lost
is the Tribe travelled in the third
spot.
Uhle. out to redeem himself after
the 1927 debacle, IS bound to be 4
great aid Il the Redskins in their
desperate fight for a place in the
sun.
Already. the big highlander has
an impressive list Of early aso
wins. True. May wins are often due
TO the opposition suffering from lack
Of practice but they count for just
rs much as the tits won in Septem-
Der.
Under the wise guidance Of Man
ager Roger P~eckinpaugh, it is highly
possible that the Redskins may be iE
there in September, led by the long
arm Of George Uhle, and battling to
the death with the Yanks, Athletics
ard perhaps the Browns, for the big
honors.

CATCHER HAS
HARDEST JOB
Berg, Has Played 'Em
All And Elects
Receiver
BY NORMAN E. BROWN

Ray Schalk. White Sox manager, Is
one. Of the veterans in service Of
tho American league. He is recog-
nized as one of the closest students
of baseball in the game.
you've watched a lot Of ball
games through the mask. Now what
is the hardest position on the ball
field TO play?" he was asked.
81 never did anything except
CATCH" replied the veteran backstop.
THERE'S the man you ought to ask"
And he pointed 10 Moe Berg.
"He has played every position in
the infield, AZ least, and is now a
catcher
So the same question was put to
Berg.
Bost fans are familiar. IN a gen
eral way. with Berg's meteoric rise
to national attention as a catcher in
the closing days OF the 1927 cam
paign.
The Sox played through most of
the season with Schalk, McCurdy and
Grouse available for bRckstopping
duty. Then Schalk was hurt. A
1A0AA INK AaNGL &tVuEG was Ul1tGu
on the casualty list. Tive days later
MeCurdy was rendered hors de corr
bat when Slim Hcrriss, Red Sox
pitcher. hit Crouse's glove with his
bat, and tore the nail off Crouse's
finger-through the leather covering
Of the glove.
Berg Steps In
Berg stepped behind the plate and
/ nNn~.nIaI e at-.L q.
his catching. Now he is RANKED as
first-string catcher OF the team.
Schalk is giving most Of HIS time
70 managerial duties. Grouse and
McCurdy stand ready to back up
Moe.
But TO get back to Berg and the
question.
Il don't know much about catch
ing as yet" replied Moe, "but from
what I've had TO do with il my
guess is that it's the toughest lob
on the ball team.
FIRST OF all, many OF the vital
plays IN a ball game begin or end
with the catcher. Once the batter
reaches first IL is up TO the catcher
more h anyone else TO keep him
from stealing. The catcher must NOT
only help keep him close to first,
hut he must help outguess him when
he does decide TO steal, and then
XIII him off with a perfect throw
to second.
The catcher often times holds
the game in his hands, literally,
when the deciding play Of that game
Is az home plate. These are things
the ian sees. In addition he can
help or hinder a pitcher BY helping
TO dope cut the batter. BY working
with the pitcher on the batter and
by his general aggressiveness and
cooperation.
You've got to be on top Of every
play mentally, for the reason thai
you don't know wien the play ~ 70
ing 10 involve YOU"
Fought Shy
berg was a catcher in high school
put fought shy Of that berth when
ne entered Princeton university. AZ
Moe explains il:
They usually pickle I MS catcher a
man who couldn't do anything else
however, Moe was listed as an
infielder' when tried out bv the
GIANTS a couple of year ago. PLAYED
the lntIeld for the Toledo club when
sent there, and was such when the
Sox brought him from Reading. II
the international league. in 1925.
IL was Just one of those cases
OF a fellow not realizing where his
greatest opportunity lies. and there.
fore being shunted around until
mere accident gives him his chance
