The accident to Charley Comiskey is a very unfortunate one, particularly at the present time. It means that on the days when Caruthers and McGinnis pitch Foutz will have to play at first, and when Foutz twirls, Caruthers must go to left, Robinson to second and Barkley to first. This keeps both these pitchers almost constantly in play and they do not receive the rest which is so necessary. Of course when McGinnis pitches Caruthers will be off the field, but that is only in every third game. Besides missing their rest there is always the chance of these two pitchers injuring themselves by throwing to bases, etc. St.
