C—2 DOES 3% FIELDING 10 LEAD IN LEAGUE Marberry, Ruel Also Shine| on Defense—Cronin Busy | Player at Short. W American League during the 1929 campaign, but three of the Na- tionals were leaders in their re- spective positions. Joe Judge, 'red Marberry and Muddy Ruel|g! ASHINGTON did no bet- for fifth place in club showed the others how to handle | xen the ball. Judge played in 142 games at first base and was offered 1417 chances, of which he accepted |7 1,411 to get a fielding average of .996. He went through 80 con- secutive games without an error. Marberry did much fancy fielding as a pitcher.” He took care of 50 chances and never was charged with an error. Many of Fred's chances, by the way, were tricky punts that had the pitcher on the jump. Herold Ruel led the catchers with 990 for 63 engagements. But three errors were made by him. Five passed balls | . appear against his name in the rec- ords. Jack Hayes and Buddy Myer, were used at both second and third base, found much to do all season. Hayes proved the smoother fielder at both posts. He performed at a .974 clip at second base ana at .945 at third. Myer as a second sacker fielded .958 and .936 as a third sacker. Bluege Star at Short. Ossie Bluege played at short in 10 games and made no errors. He made 13 putouts and 27 assists. In 34 games at third base Ossie fielded for a .967 rating. He was outflelded at this post by Willie Kamm of the White Sox, Joe Sewell of the Indians and erty Mc- Manus of the Tigers. Joe Cronin finished far down ln the fleld of rather mediocre shortstops, but he did a deal of work during the sea- son. In his 143 games he had 806 chances and accepted 744. Only two shortstops bettered Joe's mark of 285 putouts, and with 459 assists he tied with Bill Cissell of the White Sox for S the season record. Unfortunately, Joe |3 led the shortstops at error-maki chalking up 62. double plays. ceed this mark was Red Kress of the Bll:,m. who ‘took part in 94 double ng, He participated in 92 plays. ‘The best fielding in the pastures by mc" a Washington player was done by Sam West. He performed at a .978 pace. But he finished well down the list. was guilty of 9 errors. Club Fielding .968. As a club the Nationals fielded .968, which was 7 points shy of the record made by the Athletics and Browns, who tied for first place. They made 156 double plays and were excelled by only two clubs in this respect. The Indians made 162 double plays and the Red Sox 159. SUCCESSFIIEAS HOCKEY MANAGER, BUT RESIGNS CHICAGO, January 14 (#).—Thomas J.

ATHLETICS, BROWNS STRONG ON DEFENSE By the Assoclated Press. CHICAGO, January 14.—The world | champion Philadelphia Athletics lnd the St. Louis Browns had the tightest defenses of all American League clubs in 1929, official fielding averages dis- | closed today. ‘The Athletics accepted 5,684 chances and the Browns 5971, each compiling a grand scason’s average of .975, or 3 points higher than the leading mark recorded by Washington in 1928 and 2 points less than the all-time major league record established by the New York Yankees in 1923. Detroit, leader in team hitting, was last in team flelding, making 242 errors for an average of 961. New York was third, with a 971 average; Chicago fourth, with 970, and Washington and Cleveland tied for fifth and sixth, with .968. Boston, with a .965 mark, was seventh.

This is the seventh of a series of arti- cles written by famous amateur and professional golfers, telling how they overcame outstanding faults in their slay. and brought up there, and I lea.ned to hit my drive like a Britisher. That is to say, I struck down at the ball and found myself finishing the stroke with too much weight on the right foot. This gave me a tendency to hit across the ball, especially on my drives, and any cne who plays knows what that does. Of course, I did play well enough to win the amateur championship, but my error persisted. It troubled me, but I didn't find the oot of the trouble or the proper method of correct- ing it until I came to the United States last year. It was my good fortune to play with your greatest golfers. I was in the final round of the National Ama- teur at Brae Burn 5"“"; Bobby Phil Perkins. ones, and I played Bobby, too, in the Walker Cup matches. Naturally, I| watched him closely and your other | stars as well, and began to pattern my lllnl after them. I then found what I had been do- ing. To correct the fault I got a deep- faced driver and practiced hitting ATURALL—Y-I learned to play golf in England, as I was born errors in 145 games. In 1928 he fielded against my left leg, as the saying goes. British Golf Star Helped Game By Studying Style of Yank Aces ing the stroke and found that this cured me of cutting across the ball. This not only gave me better dis- tance, but straightened my shots'amaz- ingly. The elimination of my.habit of hitting down made me a sounder golfer. It removed a source of trouble that gave me a 1ot more difficulty thjn you'd | imagine. I know, that many golfers—from those who shoot around 100 to the stars—have spells of cutting across the ball. Might I suggest that yeu, if you are one of the sufferers, follow my plan? ‘The fault is not found entirely on the tee, but crops up with the brassie and the irons as well and does a lot toward adding unwelcome strokes. It really is most difficult: to learn what one is doing improperly. A pro- fessional can quickly point out what you are doing wrong. If you are erring as I did I'm quite certain you can set yourself right. The secret of good golf les in the swing, of course, Nothing can be ac- complished with a faulty one. It is an excellent practice to watch good golfers; not merely watch them, either, but study them closely. Bobby Jones was a source of great help to me. The stars you watch doubtless will benefit you, too, for the average human being is imitative. So I'll just repeat: If you are cutting across the ball try hitting against a braced left leg, which will make sure that your weight comes through to it at the finsh of the stroke. It must be there, you know, to hit properly.

Or at least they were told so last night by K. E. Goit of Minneapolis, who addressed the monthly meeting of the Middle At- lantic Association of Greenkeepers at a meeting in Baltimore. Goit pointed out that great sav- ings should accrus to the clubs in this section because of the knowledge the greenkeepers get from the ex- periments being conducted at Ar- lington. Several representatives of the local greenkeepers’ body plan to attend the annual meeting of the National Greenkeepers’ Association at_Louisville, Ky., February 2. Bob Scott of the Baltimore Coun- try Club is the new president of the association, succeeding O. P. Fitts of Columbia in that office. R. D.

AY VON DREELE, Baltimore's bowling flash, will be the next to battle Jack White of Hart- ford, known as “the Iron Man of Connecticut.” The match will be held next month in Baltimore, and the gal- lery will be made up in a measure of ‘Washingtonians. Dutch von Dreele is quite as popular in this city as in Balti- more and as much admired. He is easlly the most sensational | often Von Dreele steps far above his usual swift pace and a record is the re- sult. With both bowlers at their best he probably any other star. But White has had far more experi- ence in big-stake matches than the Dutchman, and this may count heavily in the Iron Man's favor. White is a born showman. He seems inspired by a crowd. Temperamentally he is a paradox. A more nervous bowler never set foot on an alley. Yet, he is one of the most feared “money” performers. His nerv- ousness doesn't appear to spring from amidships.

Dutchman Tops All Von Dreele is Baltimore's outstand- ing bowler this season in average and this is not a mean distinction. The Monumental City has a host of talented duckpin maulers. In the Greater Bal- timore Major League the Dutchman is averaging 120, the circuit including eight or nine alleys. Ray's 120 in Baltimore is equivalent to an average of 123 in New England, where the alley gutters are rounded.

NEW YORK, January 14.—Gene Tun- ney, former world heavyweight cham- pion, ‘was recovering in Presbyterian Hospital today from an operation per- formed by Dr. George Winthrop Fish yesterday. ‘The operation. a minor one for the removal of a stone that had [ormed at the entrance to Tunney's right kid- ney, was announced as “entirely suc- cessful.”" Tunney was in the operating room just 25 minutes. Surgéans had feared that it might be necessary to take out the kidney itself, but the operation proved to be much simpler than had been anticipated and the obstruction, a stone about the size of a bean, was removed without diffi- culty. ‘The retired champlon’s condition was announced as satisfactory. He probably will remain at the hospital for about three weeks. Mrs. Tunney, the former Polly Lauder, occuples &n adjoining room so that she can be close to her husband during his convalescence.

WEAR, Chairman Davis Cup Committee. United States Lawn Tennis Association. By the Associated Press. HILADELPHIA, January 14— Despite the fact that William T. Tilden and Francis T. Hunter, the first two ranking players in the United States, will not be available for the Davis Cup competition this year, we have implicit faith in the younger group, which will be “on its own” for the first time. Tennis followers were impressed last year by the performances of Wilmer Allison and John Van Ryn in winning the English doubles championship at Wimbledon and the Davis Cup doubles in the challenge round at Paris. Equally impressive was the showing of George M. Lott and John H. Doeg in capturing the United States Nationai doubles championship. Several more young men have their hearts set on the task of earning places on the 1930 Davis Cup team and, i their 1929 records can be taken as a criterion, they will be in the running for the highest honors. Much as we admire the skill and the will-to-win of our younger players, we must not be deceived in regard to the strength of the Frenchmen. If Rene Lacoste joins Henri Cochet and Jean Borotra in the defense of the cup, our task will assume colossal proportions. With Lacoste and Cochet at their best, we will have only an outside chance of coming through. We also must not minimize the strength of England, Australia and Japan, Germany, which met the United States in the inter-zone finals last year, will be handicapped by the loss of Hans Moldenhauer, whose untimely death is regretted by all tennis devotees. ‘The triumphs of Allison and Van Ryn in Europe last Summer after their discouraging start in their workouts in | Philadelphia, revealed their potential- itles. They showed their metal under fire, and it is because they proved their worth under stress that we feel hopeful of success as we make preparation for the start of the 1930 Davis Cup drive.

PHILADELPHIA.— Vidal Gregorio, Judge Sets Pace for First Sdckers - Shut;e Out in Front for Rich Golf Prize HAS THREE-STROKE LEAD IN BIG EVENT Plays a Steady Game to Add to Lead—Cruickshank in Second Place. ‘BY PAUL ZIMMERMAN, Assoclated Press Sports Writer. OS ANGELES, January 14— Densmore Shute, Ohio's young professional golf champion, today was knock- ing at the treasury door of the fifth annual Los Angeles $10,000 open tournament. Three strokes ahead of the fleld of 47 other campaigners for first place and $3,500 prize money, the slender entrant from Columbus, with a card of 222 for 54 holes, looked to the final 18 as an opportunity to make his first bow as an important title holder. This margin, which he increased in yesterday's play after going into the jead Sunday, was none too safe, for in second position were Horton Smith. the Nation's leading money player, and the veteran Bobby Cruickshank, with scores of 225, Shute played steady golf, shooting a 75, as against Smith's 76. Cruickshank capitalized on the sensational young Missourlan’s errors to force into the second-place tie by virtue of a 74. Smith was having trouble on the fair- ways, but his putting was clearly the best on the field, Five strokes back of Shute came three professionals—Tommy Armour, Detro Al Espinosa of Chicago and Chet Bee Bakersfield, Calif.—all within reach of the lead with 227s to their credit. It was MacDonald Smith, the de- fending champion, who staged the best fight of the day. He turned in a par 71, the second time perfect figures were equaled or bettered in the ‘tourney, to boost hunsell to a tie for ninth piace with But thls valiant effort, which saw him come home in 33, three under par, after going out as many over the standard mark, fell short of placing him in a po- sition where he might have crashed through today for his third consecutive championship. Leo Diegel, ‘national Professional Goif Association champion, finished in sev- enth place after 54 holes of play, wim 228, still in the money, but almost yond a chance to take first. A smxke behind him came Johnny Rogers of Denver, whose sensational 70 on the opening day has not been eclipsed. Rain and a heavy course, which took a toll of some 17 players in the first two rounds, added another victim to the list on the third 18 when W. H. Cox, Brooklyn, picked up after a bad out round of 41. Harry Cooper, winner of the first Los Angeles open s 1926, was far down the list with a 232, but even farther behind, came Johnny Farrell, former open champion; Joe Kirkwood, Tony Manero, Johnny Golden, Abe Espinosa, Bill Mehlhorn and other veterans, with scores ranging from 233 to 244. Fay Coleman, Culver City, Calif., con- testant, appeared to be a certain winner of the amateur trophy with his score of 236. George Von Elm, Detroit, the only other remaining amateur, was eight strokes behind the Californian. 30TH TRIUMPH IN ROW AIM OF LOYOLA QUINT, CHICAGO, January a (). —A thir tieth straight victory whl be the goal’ of Loyola University's sensational basket ball team when it meets St. Xavier College of Cincinnati tonight.
