Text	J. W. Sauer has just invented a new catcher's mitt which cannot fail to make its mark the coming season. This mitt-glove has both the thumb and finger portions joined so as to form a pocket at their junction. A tightly stuffed roll or cushion is stitched around both the thumb and finger portion, and the margin of the hand being turned inward forms a deep concave space in the palm, which latter is well padded. A seamless front of heavy buckskin is drawn over this entire roll or cushion and gives this mitt the action of an air cushion in catching a ball. Muffing a ball is impossible and all injuries are naturally avoided. Catalogue illustrating this and fifteen others mailed on application. Address J. W. Sauer, Milwaukee, Wis.
