Mr rhiK than nn other city, And tho honor In question In Jolntlv shared by the two bis league representatives, both of which have boasted of n Ions lino of receiv ers of great luster. In fact, the real monopoly In the b.iekstopplllK lino (a claimed at present slnco Ills Hill Killefer landed upon tho scene. A general review of tho ltuntlon at least Is entertaining. Beginning nt the present ami staitlng backward, admirers of Killefer and Schalk ore free to charge that the I'ubs and White Ko now have tho game's two greatest mask and mitt artists. Certainly tho records sustulu this contention, for each wn.s nt tho cry top of hl.s organization last season nd previous j cars' catching rcoorJs well warrant their consideration ns tho game's best of the present time. Last season's records or the two show an Interesting comparison. Schalk led In number of games plajcd 139 against 120 ami naturally In put-outs and assists. Killefer had the better llcldlug average, however. with a mark of .9S5. Schalk made three moic errors, having fifteen nits cues. Killefer In his ISO games hud the unusually low mm Is of only right passed balls, and as American Lcaguo iccords du not Include this feature, It cannot be said which excelled In knocking down tho wild ones. In one department of play Killefer fnr excelled Schalk, and on that ground Is given tho preference by many In llgurlng on who Is tho game's best catching bet. The former I'hllly slur Is n much heftier awatsmnn. Ills clouting average last season was .271 and was cvcellcd by only one other regular receiver, the highest mark being that of Fischer. Pittsburgh, who slammed the pill at a .288 gait. Schalk hit only .22? and many American League rcceleis topped him. Tho catching controversy had a like counterpart when Johnny Kilns and Billy .Sullivan were holding tho center of tho big league ttagd as Cub and White Sox backstops. This controversy will end probably as soon as tho debate over tho lolatlvc merits of Killefer and Schalk. AND don't forget Pat Moran and Jlnimle Archer. These two swell old-timers were iccognizpil for their all-around (.illclency and each had many champions for the title of being tho "best of his day In the business." Cards and Pirates Will Hare Spectacled Ilurlcrs AT I1 ? AST two p!acrs have announced their Intention of sporting the .nifty little muMaelilos lids sciimiii, Catchers llenr, of tho Ilravcs, and Gharrlty. of tho Senators, while Wally Sclung has not been heard fiom. Gharrlty doubtless felt It necessary to supply a. successor to John lleur. as tho latter had made the Up hirsute n settled specialty in Washington baseball soclct . Last reason Pitcher Lee Meadows, of the Cards, held the center of the ring alone us a big league spectacled boxman. Tho high-brow ed heaver received a good deal of publicity and also much popular curiosity ns to just when somebody was going to binash a lino drlvo Into his countenance, thus violating good social iisiiko as well as tho law against maiming a gent with his glasses on. Meadows got by. however, and tills season ho will have competition. The new tortoise-shell rival Is alxo u pitcher. O.irmnu Mill, of tho Bir mingham team of the Southern last sca-on. 1 1 III has given tho binocular test a good workout in tho miners and will try to wrest the tltlo ns tho best eyeglass heaver In all baseball fiom Meadows this jeur. It Is alto gether likely that the two will meet during the season, when the public may decide the bout for Itself. Begnrdless of the delicate tpc of phslciio that Is suggested by nn athlete nrra.vcd in the dangerous equipment of eyeglasses, Hill was tho Iron man of tho DKle circuit last jenr. lie pitched In fort-two games, of which he won twenty-six and lost ten. 1 lilt had a record of pitching 1.000 against the CJlants last season, for In the only gamu he hurled against tho McGraumen after coming up ho got away with the decision. Hill was up three years Ago as a Pirate and will have an Incentive to lb I: tho Cards asldo from outpilchiiig Meadows, fnr a lambasting given him by that team upon his first nppcaranco caused him to bo shunted back to the entailer leagues, where he has since labored.

Stccher-Lcicis Bout to lie Shock Test WRESTLINU has long since become a test of punishment endurance and tho bout between Stranglcr Lewis and Joo Steelier seems certain to bo a record affair, considered from a shock-absorbing angle. It will be tho "scisois hold" against tho "head hold," and It looks ns If the first man to get his hold will win, for both are well-nigh Irresistible whei prop erly applied. J There arc many who contend that Stcchcr's "icistors" Is the most dangerous, because once Steelier winds his legs mound an opponent's body ho becomes helpless; while, on tho other band, a strong and crafty grapplcr like the farmer boy of Bodge, N'eb., could wriggle loose from tho head lock Just as others have done In matches against Lewis. But to combat this contention tho supporters of Lewis say that It Isn't one head hold that forces an oppqnent to succumb. Ho continues to apply this hold at every opportunity, and lu this way weakens his man until he is virtually helpless. Steelier maintains that he has held Lewis even In two previous matches, but he has not overlooked tho fact that Lewis has Improved greatly on his head lock since; besides, he Is now able to apply a great deal more pressure. But all that Steelier asks Is that Lewis go to the mat with him and give him a chance to surely throw him this time.
