HOW FORREST CADY WON JOB

Almost Unheard of In Boston Until Boosted by Leslie Nunamaker, Second Backstop. Forrest Cady, the twenty-four-year-old giant, butted into the limelight when Leslie Nunamaker, second catcher of the Red Sox, was injured in the throwing hand early last sear son, and has been right there or thereabouts ever since. Cady was almost unheard of in Boston, and even his team-mates did not know much about his ability. He and Nunamaker had been room-mates and “pals.” As Cady, who, despite his size, is very soft-spoken and evasive of the spotlight, went out to warm up, Nunamaker, sitting with bandaged hands

on the side-lines, shouted this encouragement to the recruit, so that everybody heard it: "Keep up the reputation of the room, Cady!” t “Well, if they give me a chance In they’ll never miss YOU. w replied Cady, a bit peeved at the attention attracted to him, but still speaking as quietly as a bank clerk. Nunamaker sat on the bench the remainder of the Beason, appearing in less than a half dozen games, and Is now third catcher. Cady caught the most of the world's series and received a big salary increase. Which is Fate, also Opportunity. A similar turn may boost Nunamaker again. It’s the luck of the game.
