Baseball “fans” of today who are accustomed to see the catcher behind the bat assume his position fully ar mored in Cage, chest protector, glove and shin-guards, can picture the haz ards of catching behind the bat with out any of these accessories. Some of the old-timers at the game can re member when such protectors were not in use, and when all catching was done at a considerable distance from the batter. And a few of these “old timers” will remember “Nat” Hicks, the first catcher to cofrie up “behind the bat.” With his death a few days ago, says tne New York Times, the last of the old guard of ball players passed away. In his day he was as famous as any of the modern stars, and more justly so, thinks this paper, because Hicks was not afraid to do his catching in the dangerous posi tion behind the bat, entirely unpro tected by any of the devices now used. We read: Hicks played during the third stage of baseball development in this coun try. The first may be represented by the ante-Civil-War clubs, the second by the contests of the late sixties, and the third by the following decade, when high class skill began to develop, but before the time when the intro duction of the glove and mask made the feats of fielding that one sees today comparatively easy. To catch behind the bat without the elaborate protection of mask, protector, great glove, and shin-guards, as Nat Hicks was the first to do, required a grit and endurance that few of the high priced artists of the diamond today would care to emulate. Hicks created a sensation by catching behind the bat with his naked hands and body unprotected. His endurance was phe nomenal in the face of the awful pun ishment he sustained. It was in the early seventies when Hicks first made his appearance on the diamond as a prominent figure. He was the catcher of the Eckfords, and participated in all the games which they played. He caught behind the bat close under the batsmen and forc ed the other old-line catchers to fol low his example. Craver, of the Hay makers, was the only one to carry this catching feat to the same evtent that Hicks did, and these two by their ac curate throwing to bases were the first to put a stop to the big scores that were a feature of the earlier games. The pitcher then was not permitted to use the overhand throw, which has become known to recent baseball. He was compelled to use the underhand delivery and to pitch the high and low ball that the batter called for. He had a shorter distance to pitch, and his delivery was much harder to handle ungloved than the swift pitch ing of today with the catcher’s armor Protection Against Fire NOW and HEREAFTER is the duty of EVERYONE. —A Policy In — The Georgia Home Insurance Co.

Hicks caught through four seasons with the Eckfords, and then joined the Mutuals, composed in those days of the famous Alathews, as pitcher; Start, first base; Nelson, second base; Hatfield, third base; Ger hardt, shortstop; Gedney, left field; McGee, center field; Booth, right field. The competition between the Mu tuals and the Atlantics was very keen, and when the final contest was to be played it was considered doubtful whether or not Hicks could catch, so frightfully had he been injured by catching behind the bat. But Hicks took his place in the game, and caught it through and won general praise for his surprising pluck. An account of Hicks’ playing is quot ed by this paper from a contemporary publication: In consequence of the severe injuries already received by Hicks it was not thought by any that he could play at all, or if he attempted to play in his crippled condition he would certainly make a bungle of it. But in this they were greatly mistaken, for, far from losing the game, he actually won it by his brilliant play—the most brilliant shown in the recollection of the pres ent-day enthusiast and doubtless the most brilliant ever shown. He went into the game with his right eye almost knocked out of his head and his nose and the whole right side of his face swollen to three times their normal size. Yet, notwithstanding this, nothing seemed too difficult for him to take. Player after player went down before his unfaltering nerve, and although struck four times during the game—once squarely on the mouth, by the ball and once on the chest and twice with the bat —he could not be driven away from his post. Indeed, taking it all in all, no man ever ex hibited more nerve and pluck combin ed with cool, calculating judgment than did this man, and he certainly deserved all the applause and com mendation that he received.
