The catchers of the Philadelphia and Athletic clubs are all beginning to wear Decker's catchers' gloves. Clements and Robinson both pronounce it the best they have ever seen. Decker has put the glove on sale with A. J. Reach & Col, who are prepared to promptly fill all orders sent to them. Al Reach, in speaking of the new glove, said the other day:-- “Of course, we have all kinds of gloves in our stock and it is immaterial to me which make we sell, and for that reason I can give an unbiased opinion of Decker's glove, and that is that I consider it the very best in the market. I will stake my reputation on the glove and recommend it to everybody as the best catchers' glove ever made.
