Major League Clubs Lack Substitutes Behind the Plate
New York Jan. 31. A majority of major league clubs show weak substitute catchers. The World Series exposed this with Gowdy catching for the Giants and Muddy Ruel injured for Washington. Tate, Ruel's helper, played little and offered only ordinary ability. Ray Schalk’s bench role underlined the issue as White Sox. Yankees suffered most from lack of reserve catchers when Schang was out and Hoffman failed.
