During the past week we saw little Roche, formerly catcher of the Chelseas, who was badly injured while playing with the Crickets last season. He has entirely recovered from his injury, and is ready to take the field again at once. He is a plucky little player, a fine catcher, and one, too, who is reliable. He speaks highly of the pitching of E. White, whom he caught for last season. He says he has perfect command of the ball, pitches with great speed, and with a curve, and “uses his head” in pitching—in other words, he is a good strategist; so the Boston will have three fine pitchers at command—Bond, Manning and E. White.
