GOOD CATCHERS.
They Mutt Be Quick Thinkers and Are
Hard to Develop.
Good fielders and hard hitters there
are who are uot quick witted, but nev
er a catcher, who is the first to see
signs of weakness iu the pitcher and
sends word to the bench for another
pitcher to warm up. Three years' ex
perience with a tunjor leugue Is re
garded us necessary to make a catch
er competent. Only a lew continue
long enough to have such experience.
Good catchers say that when they
hear the ball touch the bat their bands
Instuntly tiy toward the ball, no mat
ter where it glances off the bat. Some
after losing sight of a fly In the sun
have the ability to reach it neverthe
less.
Some catchers are unjustly blamed
for not putting a runner out who gets
a big lead off the pitcher, who Is real-,
ly at fault. Here not only a good
throw will fail, but it Is often useless
to throw at all.
Good catchers make many unexpect
ed throws. They must throw from an
unnatural position and with a Jerky
motion of the arm. Archer threw with
a snap of the arm while standing fiat
footed and put many out on first base.
The catcher signals second baseman
that he is going to throw the next
pitched ball to him; the pitcher deliv
ers it a little to one side so that It
can be handled easily; the shortstop
knows the next ball will not be'hlt and
to can back up second base. This tin
expected tbrow often puts the runner
out on second.
A similar i)iay is when the runners
move 111> eveiy time the bnll is pitch- |
eil. If those on second and third both i
set well off the hags Hie catcher again j
signals the pitcher to waste n ball mid
makes as if he were going to throw j
to third, but instead throws quickly to
second-and retires the runner there,
or makes as If he were going to throw j
to second, but instead throws just be- ,
yond the pitcher, when the baseman
starts for second, and lie, without stop- .
ping, runs up. catches the ball and j
sends It home to retire the man seek* |
