Ray Hayworth, Detroit, now in his eighth year as a Detroit catcher, has the comparatively soft task of backstopping for a team on which Mickey Cochrane is the regular catcher and manager. Thus, in understudying the hard working Mickey, Hayworth has only caught 54 and 51 games respectively during the last two years, spelling Cochrane during doubleheaders and helping to relieve the strain during hot weather. A good handler of pitchers, fine arm and moderately good hitter with a lifetime average of .276, he stands as an ideal second-string catcher and one of the minor reasons why the Tigers. are favored to repeat in the 1936 pennant hunt.
