1 DOZEN CATCHERS|
 PASSED CENTURY
 MARK OF SERVICE.

Being catcher in the big leagues Is far different from what 1t used to be. Nowadays the job calls for great deal more work
 In, the old days a receiver was only expected to toll every other day or so. and the backstopptng duties were generally about equally divided be- tween two men with third filling in occasionally.
 A few seasons back it was more or less of an oddity for a catcher to work in 100 games during the cam pa gn Anywhere from sixty t. seventy-five contests was the usual average. But times have changed until now the majority of the club depend almost solely on one catche to do the bulk of the receiving.
 Catchers Work Hard
 Even second-strin backstop, |; ] valuable and necessary asset to ? team, seldom gets much of an oppor- tunity tt show his wares. Obviously the third receiver, if there is one warns the bench for the major DOT tion of the season, or else warns H. the pitchers in the bull pen.
 During the 1922 pennant race ii the American league, there were n' less than seven catchers who per formed in 100 games and over W Washington being the only clul which failed to place man in thi. class. though Charity came within four tilts of the century figure, toll ing in 96 games. An injury to his arm alone kept Charity out of the century circle.
 Perkins Was Iron Man
 Cy Perkins of the Athletics du- plicatod his 1921 feat of being the real work horse" donning the mask and chest protector in 148 frays. In- cidentallS the Mackite beat his pre- vious high mark by seven contests.
 Ray Schalk of the White So2 holder of the honor on other oc- casions, ran second with 142 bouts to his credit, and Hank" Severeid oi the St. Louis Browns was third witt, 137. Then came O'Neill. Cleveland 13a; Schang, Yankees, 124; Basslor Detroit, 121. and Ruel, Boston, 11S
 In the National loop, five receivers went over the 100 mark, O'Farreil of the Cubs leading the field with 12s games; Henline. Phillies, was second with 125. followed in turn by Ainsmith. Cardinals, 119; Gooch Pittsburg, 105. and Snyder, Giants 104.
 Bargrave. Cincinnati, and Gowdy of the Braves just missed tho select circle, the Moran catcher participat- ing in 9S battles. and Soldier Hank in 92. Brooklyn was the only team rot using cone catcher in at least ninety games.
