best in the National League eftrmany experts had declared It a hopeless case If Mitchell makes good with the Cubs every team looking for a manager will grab a former catcher as its field leader The real reason for the success of the catcher manager is the knowledge a catcher has of the proper way to handle pitchers All of which proves once again that pitching is the most important department of basebail It is only natural that a catcher should know more about the handling of twirlers than would an infielder or an outfielder Pitchers have not made good aj managers probably for the reason that
