Backstops Do Much to Nurse Pitchers Along. The Cleveland Indians will have ll new stadium to play in w1Jld1 seats 80,000 persons. It has heen often !'Rid by wise baseball men that pitching Is 00 per cent of a ball club and that a tenm without a good pitching starr Is never goIng to win a pennant In the b1g leagu('S. If that ill so, or e>en lr a plt<'hing stall' is only 75 per cent of a ball club, what about the catching staff? While pitching Is essential, nearly every team that has m·er won a big league pennant had one or two great catchers. Mlck('y Cochrane of the Athletics was a "one-man'' thow last season and It was ·due to Ills grent work behind the plate that the Athletics won the pennant In the Amer-Ican lt>ague atld then heat the Cubs In the world series. No catcher. ever nursed a pitcher along with greater Bklll than Cochrane diu with Howard Ehmke In the opening game In Chl· cago. John .T. McGraw, tl'!e "rnn~ter mind" ot the Giants, won his l'lrst National league pennant In 1004 with two great catchers-Roger Bresnahan and Fra11k Bowerman. Today McGraw hn.s two more great catchers In Frank "Shanty" Hogan and Bob O'l<'arrell and the "master mind" believes his two star backstops will get enough good pitch· ing out of Walker, Huhhell. Genewich, Fitzsimmons and Donohue to win the National league pennant. • • • ' . ..

Sam Brendon, own('r of the St. Louis Cardinals, believes that It is only a matter of time before night baseball will be a popular big-league caper.
