SLIM SALLEE EASY TO CATCH SNYDER ST. LOUIS. Sept. 4. Some pitchers have the catchers hopping all around In i back of the plate, but Harry Sallee Is the easiest to handle, according to Snyder, etar backstop of the St. Louis National leayue club. "I don't think I have dropped a single pitch from Sallee since I have been with the Cardinals." said Snyder. "His control con-trol is perfect. It may be hard for the batters to meet his delivery, but I believe be-lieve I could sit on a chair and catch him a full nine-inning game. "Sal's success is his control and he 11 almost put the ball just where you iiold the glove- There's never a high one that vou have to jump to rea'n and he seldom scrapes the ground with his low crossfire. "A spttter is the hardest ball to catch and there is quite a difference between Sallee and Doak. The spitball is not true. It may break a foot one time and with the same delivery it may Jump half a foot. A catcher does a good day's work when he is paired with Doak. but it la a loaf when Sal Is heaving."
