PETERSBURG, Fla., March 20.—The present dearth of high class catchers in the big leagues isn't unusual or alarming to Joe MeCarthy. The New York Yankee manager claims this is merely the working of cycles. He recalls that when he went from Louisville to manage the | Chicago Cubs a decade or so ago there was a plethora of outstand- ing backstops and the Cubs were constantly on the hunt for a crack third baseman. McCarthy ranks Bill Dickey as the best of the current crop of catchers. “Dickey is one of the all-time great catchers,” he says. Dickey is the mainspring of the Yankees, But he is s0 modest and effective that usually his greatness is under rated. For instance, few notice that/ Dickey, with more daring than any other catcher, consistently passes batters to cross the plate and gain a more favorable posi- "tion to throw to second to halt| base stealers.
