THE SEATTLE STAR Cincinnati Has Only Two-Man Mask Corps Individual Supremacy Is Usual Thing in Big League Catching, but Hargraves and Wingo Change Off to Meet Opposition Pitching BY BILLY EVANS : NDIVIDUAL supremacy has prevailed for years in the department of catching, altho the position is more than a one man’s job. However, probably once upon a time somebody told somebody else that a catch- ing staff should be composed of one leader with two recruits to fill in. a Such condition exists with many major | league clubs today. And for years and years back, too. Figure for yourself and see what chance a young catcher has with the Chicago) White Sox with Ray Schalk around; with | the Athletics with Cyrus Perkins on the} job; with the Cleveland Indians with Steve O'Neill, and with the St. Louis Browns with Iron-Man Hank Severeid wearing the mask. This one-man rule, however, does not prevail with the Cincinnati Reds, where Patrick Moran boasts of what is = the best two-man catching staff in the major league loop. The cast reads: “Bubbles.” The funny part about this combination {s that Moran and the pitcher do not pick the catcher for the game. Then how is it worked? ie The pitcher on the other!
