Fiielders Were
Fine Players
In "A erican
Compiled by Irwin NJ. Howe, Amer
icnm League Statistician.l

tcIh League
Not less notable than the home
runs, high batting averages, and
other feats with the war club that
maintained, the enthusiasm of base
ball patrons at a high pitch during
the 1922 season were the unprece-
dented fielding exploits that fea-
tured nearly every game.
Many more double and triple plays
were made last year than was possible
in seasons when there were fewer
men on bases. The Washington team
set a new record for double plays,
and that rarest of fielding feats, the
triple play, was performed no less
than seven times Boston and Chi
eago each made two, and Cleveland,
Philadelphia and Washington one
each.
First Sackers
When the regular fielding aver
ages were published attention was
called to the superior class of the
first basemen. In no less than
seventy-five of the games the first
sack guardian handled from sixteen
to twenty-three chances. This re-
markable showing was due, OF
course, to the high degree OF skill
attained by first basemen, in recent
years, in handling ground balls, TAX
ing fouls in right field territory and
the forcing of runners at second and
third bases.
Pipp's Record
Walter Pipp handled sixteen or
more chances in twenty games and
participated in ia double plays,
making four of them unasssted.
George Burns turned seven two-ply
killings without help, aided in "a
4. To-, 90, no q
81, % and % chances, respectively.
Earl Sheely had 20, % and 23 chances
in three games and assisted in lib
double plays. Joe Judge did his
share in 127 double plays, which is
probably a record for first basemen,
while George Sisler was second with
| 116.
Stanley Harris, whose work at
second throughout the season equaled
any heretofore made at this
| position, was among those present
in ia double plays, and in fifteen
games accepted ten or more chances
Z, Much could be told of the brilliant
manner in which Ward. Pratt NC
| Manus and Eddie Collins covered the
territory adjacent to second base.
McManus' record of 1o4 double plays
| is particularly noteworthy.
Gerber, Galloway, Peckinpaugh,
! Scott and Rigney, performed bril-
! liantly at short while R. Jones'
Dykes and Ellerbe were the leaders
among the third basemen.
Among the outfielders the work or
Rice. Veach, Speaker Cobb and
Hooper was particularly notable, the
first named for the number off, games
| in which a large number of chances
was handled. and for the others, es-
pecially Hooper and Speaker, for the
number of double plays, Hooper nav
ing eight and Speaker six.
Robert Meusel. famous throughout
the league for his ability to return
| the ball fast and accurately, estao :
| lished the peculiar record OF not
making a single double play. Whlch
may be considered as evidence or
the extreme reluctance of runners to
match their speed against his
powerful right arm.

EFFICIENT GAS BURNING

Evaporation tests recently con-
cluded at the worlds largest gas
fired boiler plant of 1900 horse
power, seem to upset the quite pre-.
valent idea. that natural gas can
only be burned economically under
high pressure. In this test, lasting
IA hours. with an average gas pres
sure of less than 6 ounces, and at
boiler loads of ITO, PA and 302 per

cent, an average gross efficiency OF
SIS per cent was obtained.
These excellent results are attrib-
uted mainly to a recently invented
low-pressure type of natural gas
burner, described and illustrated IN
the Popular Mechanics Magazine.
The advantages claimed for the new
burner are: That it will operate eff
GENTLY at any practical boiler rat
ing. with a gas pressure varying be-
tween one and four ounces; that
back firing is impossible; that the
annoying vibration and roar OF high
pressure types is eliminated: that
burning out of MOBILES is prevented
because of the low pressure, and

From that sum must be deducted

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
il is that SO many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist SAYS, Take for
example DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation / have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects uri-
troubles and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle of
swamp-Root by parcel post. Address Dr..
Kilmer & Co. B~inghamton, N. Y, and
