CUBS AND YANKS LUCKY TO GET STAR CATCHERS

The Chicago Cubs have been noted for years as a team that gets good catchers. For years Johnny Kling was the ranking backstop of the National league, and after he went back the Cubs had another star In the per Son of Jimmy Archer. After Jimmy passed from the stage of greatness the same club got Bill Klllefer. The Yankees In recent years have been, specializing the same way. The capture of Bill Walters was a master stroke, as he is rated today ,as one of the best maskmen in the game. Now the Yanks come up with another Star backstop, Harry Hannah. M.eanwhile Miller Huggins insists that Muddy Ruel is one of the best young catchers he ever saw; Tom Clarke, a steady veteran, also is with the team. Huggins surely is well fixed in catching talent.
