Other notes mention vaudeville brag, ghetto dialect, Allen Cass Coulter firing a valet, and a riverside nostalgia on fishing then and now with Towns’s reminiscences.

Baseball Talk Turns To Catcher Henry and Backups

President Frazee offered catcher Henry of the Senators to Clarke Griffith, but Washington rejected it. Barry hunts surplus catching talent in the American League with little luck and endures the strain of managing. Harold Janvrin chases balls as Barry focuses on bench duty, a rarity for active managers. Miller Huggins and Connie Mack are cited as rare exceptions or changes in managing style. Witt is displaced by Dugan as Mack seeks a reliable infield.
