Elmer Knetzer, pitcher of the Pittsburgh Federal League Club, was born at Carrick, Pa., on July 22, 1888. He gained his first professional experience with the Lawrence Club, of the New England League, in 1909, from which club he jumped directly into the major leagues, being purchased by Brooklyn Nationals in September, 1909. With Brooklyn he pitched excellent ball, and then signed with the Federal League Club in Pittsburgh in the winter of 1913-1914.
In his first professional season back in 1960, Joe showed his great hitting ability by leading the Northern League with a .344 batting average. He jumped to the majors the following season and is now recognized as the best catcher in the league.
