| Text | There has been a difference of opinion—and in some quarters it undoubtedly exists to-day—among base-ball people as to the advisability of reengaging Bond, it being agreed that his days of usefulness are past; that, having been in the field so long as he has, and adhering to the same style of pitching, batsmen have become so familiar with his methods that they batted him easily. We think, however, that , in securing him for another season, the management has acted wisely. True, taking all-in-all, he was less effective last season than ever before, but this was due to the poor support he had behind the bat, and from the apathy displayed by some of the players. As a fielder in the pitcher's position, he has no superior. He still retains that marvelous command of the ball which has made him famous, and, when well supported, he is as capable as ever of filling his chosen position. |
