OF Landing Cleyer Catcher
Before Flag Season Starts

consider Dickey of the Yankees good
looking catcher, too. Probably the best
in the league. Cochrane I regard as
overrated, although he excels most of
the others in the circuit. And at that,
the Cardinals certainly showed him up
in the world series last Fall.
Eyes, sir, the catchers have slipped,
and slipped considerably. There's moth
ing around of the type seen behind the
bat before the war. We had catcherS
then, catchers who handled pitchers
well, held runners to bases, threw
strongly and shrewdly and were excel
lent receivers. Too bad we haven't a
few around now. My club certainly
could use one.
We'll, maybe I'll find something
worth while before the season starts II
l don't land fair one it'll not be
through lack of effort"
TRIFFITH is leaving town today for
" New York, where tonight he will
attend the annual dinner Of the
New York Chapter Of the Base Ball
Writers Association and tomorrow and
Tuesday the joint schedule meeting OF
the major leagues.
Shortly after returning to Washing
ton the Nationals president will head
for Biloxi, and he likely will have
plenty to do in his temporary office in
the Mississippi town where his club
does its training Signed contracts
have not been coming in as fast as the
prexy anticipated, which means that
many of the Nationals dislike terms Of
fered and will engage in much CORE
spondence with the boss or wait until
they check in at Biloxi for conferences
before putting their names on the dot
ted line.
Griffith declares he has done little
salary SlaShing, but he also admits he
has done little boosting of salaries. 1t
is understood several athletes who are
asked to sign for the amounts given
them last year are unwilling to do so.
The post Office at Biloxi will be busy
handling the Washington presidents

M Wilson made the interesting
Y announcement this week that
he will be a good boy in 1882
and strive to win championship for
Brooklyn, caring little how often he
mops the perspiration from his manly
West Virginia brow.
At some time in their base ball lives
our home-run champions find it neces-
sary to announce publicly their inten-
tions to sit in the corner and not run
around with the naughty boys IN the
neighborhood.
Babe Ruth, the first home-run cham
pion, ran wild for time. He threw
his base ball glove into the ring against
Kenesaw Mountain Lands, commits
sioner Of base ball, and for the first
time in his care-free life Ruth found
himself f1attened
The Babe was flambuoyant and
Snooty in those days. 1t had not oc-
CURED to him that base ball was more
than q collection of Whimsical players,
who could do as they pleased and tell
the bosses they could make the best
of it. He ran loose around the East,
transforming in direct opposition TO
the rules of base ball and the advice
of his elders. When he was ready to
play in the Spring he was informed
that he was down for 80 days suspen-
sion. And down he stayed.
Ruth Changed for Better.
That made him sulky. When he
came back he still had an obsession
that a big player could rule the roost
and he carried himself as independently
as a Balkan politician. One day it
dawned upon him that after all he was
playing the part of fractions colt at
the barrier, when he should have been
winning races, and the Ruthian mood
changed so completely that 1t has
made friends for him ever since.
When Judge Jandis set him down
all kinds Of efforts were made to have
him reinstated The public never
knew the tenth part of it. To all of
it the commissioner of base ball was
flint. His authority had been chal-

r. IRST-CLASS CATCHERS are
- about the rarest things IN bas
ball these days, according to
Clark Griffith, who ought to
know. for the Washington clubs presi-
dent has been casting about for one
some time. But Griffith has not given
up hope Of landing such a prize. L
still have lines out for catcher, some
thing we need badly" said the prexy
Yesterday, "and when the major CLUBS
begin pruning their squads near the
end of the training season III scan
every waiver list carefully.
There are now on the Nationals
roster four catchers, but Roy Spencer
is the only one of high order. ana
Spencer not only has yet to come 10
terms with the club for this season, but
has indicated he may not be In line
for the opening of the championship
campaign.
Neither Cliff Bolton nor Pat Charity
could be expected to fill the bill behind
the bat for the washington club. Bolton
showed last season that he didn't meas
ure up to big league catching callber
and there Is no reason to believe ne
will be any better this year. Charity,
although wise in the technique OF
catching, carries the handicap OF age
and is figured to be nothing more to
the club than a coach as he has been
in the past. At that, Charity probably
would be more serviceable than Bolton
to the Nationals behind the bat.
Howard Maple, bought sight unseen
from Bloomington of the Three-Eye
League last week, is merely gamble
Although he has had at least two sea-
sons in professional base ball, Maple
never has attracted the big league
scouts either as a catcher or batter
Not much promise Of help there.
No wonder that Griffith has his eyes
open for anything that appears to be
a big league catching possibility. The
Nationals need another f1rst-class re-
ceiver if they would enter the American
League flag race quite fit for a strug-
gle. Getting one, however, seems ol1-
f1cult to accomplish.
CRIFFITH makes the task hard for
~ himself at the outset by an
nouncing that frst-class catchers
are the rarest thing in base ball TO-
day. A catcher has to be exceptionally
good to satisfy the Washington presi-
dent, it seems.
Really there isn't great catcher in
the majors these days" was Grifhths
comment when telling of his search Tor
material to build up his back-stopping
staff. There are some good ones, OF
course, but altogether the present lot
of catchers Is about the poorest l have
seen in the big leagues in many years.
