| Text | “I don't think a club should carry more than fourteen players,” said McPhee, of the Cincinnati club, the other day. “In order to get first-class playing out of the men they should be worked very regularly, and the only way to do this is to carry a small team. Two catchers, if they are first-class, are enough for any club, and not more than three pitchers can be worked to good advantage. One of the drawbacks to the Cincinnati club in seasons past was the fact that too many men were carried, and naturally some of them were forced to remain idle. A catcher should be worked every other day and a pitcher should be required to go in at least twice a week. Keenan caught splendid ball last year, and why/ for the very reason that he was given plenty to do and was not allowed to get rusty from lack of work. Earle is a fine catcher, but he must be constantly used in order to show to advantage his playing ability. If I was handling a team I would not use more than three pitcher, and two of them would do the bulk of the work. |
