NEW YORK, March 80 UP) -
The war has been responsible for
several radical changes in baseball
but none like the quirk which has
made catchers as scarce as mems
teeth in the National League.
Service calls or defense jobs will
keep Ernie lombard. Harry Dam
ming, Babe Phelps, Billy Sullivan
and Ray Lamanno among the miss
ing when the cry of play ball"
sounds on April 81. Such a situa-
ton is unique in the annals of the
national pastime since catchers,
despite being in the games most
hazardous job, usually last longer
than most other players.
HEAVY BURDEN
Daily chores behind the plate
place a heavy burden on muscles
forced into such cramped positions,
injuries are often likely to hit the
catcher at that vulnerable post and
his arm is constantly in use-yet
the receivers are the hardest crew
of performers in the majors.
Well take 1912 for an example.
A survey of the first two receivers
on each club reveals that there
were more veterans who had been
in the game 10 years or more, be-
hind the plate than in any other
position.
The same lineup would be vir-
tually intact this year, too, If it
were not for the unusual demands

Sprinters of all time gathered for
one magnificent race.
Fate deemed that Davis should
come along when other top-flight

three years of college competition
two at Salinas Junior college and
one at the University of California
he has been defeated just twice.
Last year he won "a consecutive
races and reeled off 94 century

by the International A. A. u.
He has smashed or equalled all
the records set by the leadil
sprinters of yesteryear and is CO.
holder of the worlds mark for the
1G0 meters-l02-with Jesse Owens.
Prince Hal is an easy-going,
smiling chap who bellies the ancieNA
belief that sprinters are as teniV
peramental as race horses. He has
had to struggle to earn his educa-
ton for California-especially since
the advent of the Atherton code
never has been noted for smoothing
the way of athletes, even excep-
tional ones.
In fact, Halls usual training pro-
gram has been set back this year
by the fact that he's been working
on the swing shift as a laborer in
Berkeley war plant. He attends
classes from 8 a. m. to 2 p. m. every
day, works out for about an hour
and heads for his nightly chores at
3 o'clock.
MANY OFFERS
He wouldn't have had to stick to
such schedule if he'd accepted
any of the offers extended to him
by numerous colleges throughout
the country when he was school,

institutions of higher learning (apA

the records of Charley Ruffing,
