baseball writers of the country as the
greatest catcher in the game today

While the younger organization
presents uncommonly clever buck

stands practically alone in tllE‘Natlolb

ililyeI-e and the once famous Gibson.
the only catchers that can begin to
compare with him in efficiency.
Archer is 31 years of age. and like
two or three nther‘ stars in our great

Jimmy has been rated as a top

three years previous to that he made
his appearance upon the baseball hort-

thing that looked like big material
before. .
Archer was hardly anything more

Unfortunately Jennings didn't like
Archer's “tint-footed" style. of wot-ic-

that a catcher who caught and threw
without changing his position lacked
big league claim and for a few weeks
he labored to effect a change but to
no avail. Archer persisted in coutiu»
