The Baron is in the United States on his first visit. He is not con- vinced that Budge is his master on the tennis court. Von Cramm has two and one- {half strikes on his already. The two tdefeats he suffered at Budge’s jhands abroad. The fact that Big Bill Tilden is picking him to defeat Budge as leading amateur player Caro 152 102 - 389 of the world. Tilden, a notoriously 100 110 375 pad picker of tennis talent, has 149 111 127— 387 peen naming von Cramm as the Brown 156 133 444 coming world champion for the past = four years. Perhaps that's why the 591 702—2015 Baron has failed to make the grade.

Fritz Schmitz, who took care of more chances than.did any other infield- er, 86, with only three going awry on him. Bonner booted one in 26 tries, Kelly Blake Leads As far as batterymen and first- basemen are concerned, Elk receiver Kelly Blake locks down on the oth- er catchers with a .977 average gain- ed by making only three misplays in the 133 times he was mixed up in the happenings. Most nearly ap- proaching perfection among the pitchers was Moose flinger Bob Kimball' who came up with a duo of dubs amid 79 plays for an aver- age only two percentage points be- hind Blake. Though Joe Snow was concerned in more chances than any other player in the league, Walt, “Big Andy” Andrews, nosed out his per- ennial rival to lead the first-base- men, just reversing the situation at the end of the 1936 season. Snow took part in 156 putouts, was cred- ited for 7 assists and made 9 bob- bles for an average of .948, eleven marks behind Andrews, who made six wrong moves in the 146 times he was on the spot. Some Handicaps Several of those grouped with the batterymen for the purpose of computing the fielding ratings are made to show in a poorer light than they deserve by having done con- siderable duty in infield spots, where it is a bit harder to get along.
