10 RE!
AND AFTER
81 ROSS coNKLIN-.

Not everything is covered by q
rule in golf. For example, the
chairman Of . caddies' grievance
committee from the fashionable
Congressional County Club has
called upon the writer to seek q
ruling on something that turned
up rather Eurriedly. The matter
threatens the very existence Of
the caddies and a ruling is inn
perative.
The circumstances are these: "A
gent was playing the course with
three gentlemen. The gent began
missing his shots, and on the third
miss he heaved club with un.
erring aim at a, caddies' retreating
form. Small damage. On the III.
tenth hole, the gent smacked y
bali out OF bounds, and then threw
his club after it.
The financial value Of the club
forced him to seek IL, and eiglt
people looked one hour before
finding 10 In q tree. A caddi6
had to shin up the tree and get
the weapon. Then there arose
the question. 'sWhat Is the penal
ty for q club out Of bOunds?"
No one knew. But what worried
the caddies was the question Of
whether or not they could legally
be held responsible for retrieving
clubs thrown In trees. It's get.
ting 50 caddie has to be climb
ing trees all the time." one Of
the clan mOaned."
Numerous out OF town entries
have been received by A. T.. Berg

fessional Golfers Association, nor

Monday. The Washington profess
SIGNALS have signified their inten-
ton of entering in q body, and with
the Maryland and Virginia pros in,
there will be merry battling for the
two meager positions allowed here.
The question of finances is seri-
ously worrying some OF the pro-
fessionals. Should they qualify for
the Professional Golfers ASsocia-
ton championship, they viii have
to pack q mean load of dollars for
the trip. To Chicago and back
with all the necessary expenses
will mean close to $500, and that
does not take in the loss OF busi-
ness while away.
A father and son tournament
with a Scotch foursome plan OF

of Jim Preston for the Rock Creek

championships for both men and

Bluege is > modest young man.
He did not enter the big league
to the stirring sound of beating
drums. He just slipped in from
the little Peoria club. Unless
memory is faulty, he cost only
$1,000, a mere bagatelle when
compared to modern prices.
Bluege was q light hitter when
he entered the league as .candi-
date for the shortfield and it was
this light stickwork that sent him
to Minneapolis for experience.
There he appeared to hit little
better and was brought back to
the Griffs.
On returning to the Washington
club Bluege was sent to third
base there being a yawning gap
on that side of the ihfield. He
had to learn all about the position
and he proceeded to do that in a
hurry.
Then the young thirdsacker in
jured his knee. For a while his
baseball career seemed at an end.
That was in 1923. However, that
prince of trainers, Mike Martin,
got busy. He would not admit
that Bluege's injury was fatal to
the youngsters career. He worked
on him and worked on him and
Bluege had brains enough to fol-
low instructions faithfully with
the result that today his knee is
strong again.
"Ossie ought to hit 800 this
year." Bucky Harris said in this
writer one day down in Tampa
this last spring, land, if he does,
he'll be the best third baseman in
the big leagues"
In 100 games this year Bluege's
batting average is 1923. Only
three thirdsackers have higher
marks. Sam Hale, of the AS,
leads all with 1853 in II games.
Frisch, of the Giants, is hitting
for .345 in II games divided
among second, third and short.
PIE" Traynor,' of the Pirates,
tops Bluege by four points in 1O1
games.
Goose Goslin is the slugger of
the champions. He has slammed
out twenty-five two-baggers, for
instance, yet Bluege has collected
twenty himself without attracting
much attention. He hits the ball
hard and he has plenty of speed
on the bases.
AS a fielding thirdsacker Bluege
has no equal in this league. Joe
Dugan, of the Yankees, and Will
lie Kamm, of the Chicago White
Sox, are his closest rivals. Dugan
has been handicapped this season
by trick knee, much the kind
of a knee that Chick GandiI used
to exhibit when with the Griffs.
Kamm, good thirdsacker that he
is, lacks Bluege's cool smoothness
of action.
1t used to be said of Larry
Lajoie that his grace and ac-
curacy in handling difficult
chances made them appear easy,
thereby detracting from his draw
ing powers. 1t is possible to say
the same of Ossie Bluege. No
infielder in the big leagues can
get a ball away from him as fast
as Bluege. He makes seemingly
impossible throws from any and

Bluege is we'll under thirty

league third basemen.
Kamm Has Failed.
rrAVING mentioned Willie
Kamm, one wonders if the
IL Chicago thirdsacker has
quite made good. This writer,
recalling the boosts of the Coast
star before he broke into fast
company, is inclined to say he
has failed, though he is a good
player.
Kamm's principal weakness ID
his lack Of color. He does moth
ing in what otherwise might be
termed "Kamm STYLE" He has
no style of his own, that is, no
original style. Bluege, for in
stance, has that peg from the
elbow or wrist, a distinctive mark
of his fielding.
Kamm has strong arm and Is
an accurate thrower, but he
covers no extraordinary amount
of ground for a fast man, and
he is fast on the bases.
At bat Kamm, who chokes his
bat, is just a fair hitter. Chicago
baseball writer's don't think much
of him in a pinch. He gets most
of his hits when everybody else
is hitting and when the bases are
empty, in other words.
In the Pacific Coast League
Kamm was a slugger, but he has
never been a slugger in the big
show.
Clark Griffith paid $1,000 for
Ossie Bluege. Joe Engel has
sworn to this writer that Charlie
Comiskey paid over 100000 for
