A new catcher's glove has been put upon the market by a Milwaukee manufacturer, J. W. Sauer, whose advertisement appears in another column. Of the glove Mr. Sauer says:--”It is made with the object of giving the best possible protection against speedy pitching, and is extra well and softly padded, the padding extending well over the tips of the fingers to prevent low-curve balls breaking or smashing the fingers. It is hand-sewed.” The Sporting Life February 22, 1888 [the advertisement shows what appears to be a heavily padded left-hand glove, like fielders' gloves of two decades later.]
