SHORTSTOP CATON IS CLASSY

Pirate Fans .Are Loud In Praise of Diminutive Short Fielder—ls Dangerous Hitter. In "Kid” Caton, their diminutive shortstop, the Pirates have an infielder of no little class, and Pittsburgh l fans are loud in their praise of him. Caton, who was obtained from the Birmingham club of the Southern, association last summer and who played in a few games toward the latter end of the 1917 National league campaign, is perhaps the smallest player in the major leagues. However, he has a lot of energy stored up in his compact frame, and he covers a wide range of territory in the short field. In addition, he is a dangerous hitter and seems destined to become a star in time.
