Be sure to try et tat around the middle, as | line of too generous length ! surely will end your opportunity to | become a first-class catcher. Much Stooping is Required. In these days of base ball the catch- er must do a lot of stooping. In the old days it- was customary for the! catcher to “play back” much of the time to get the ball on the bound. Then he was exactly like an inflelder. Rut hecause “playing back’ prolonged the game and because the mask was developed so that it could be uged to advantage, all the notions about being a catcher were upset.. It used to be the custom to pick out a fat, or, at leust, rather stout, player to teh, but that no longer is done. 1le n't bend easily enough, and so loses speed when he tries to throw ta second base. Keep your weight down. Skinny catchers do mighty well in these days. Two of the best catchers in the his- tory of base ball. Buck Ewing and Roger Bregnahan were as good out- fielders as they were catchers because they were so fast on their feet.
