HnOXI, Miss, March al
K Oswald Bluege not only
l. Is the best defensive third
baseman In the American
League-or maybe the majors
but he also is the most unassum-
ing and the most quiet third
sacker in either loop.
Ossie Bluege, propped In chair
near the window of the hotel where
the Nationals are stopping. can hold
that pose for hours. Handrunning, he
has outsat none other than the greater
sitter Bob Burke time after another
Only recently he sat and outstared
Monte Weaver, the reformed professor.
Gentlemen, inform Mr.. Joe Turn
er or Mr.. GoIdie Ahearn, or, maybe,
Jack TuIloch over there In Alexan-
dria that a sitting marathon among
Ossie, Burke and Weaver will pack
their houses any afternoon, evening
or week.
There are times down here in the
sleepy South when Ossie will stare both
Weaver and Burke Ssto a state of nod
ding, which, in the sitting game, is a
lost round. When Weaver feels him
self nodding he shakes it of and moves
to another chair, where he will pick on
a less experienced sitter.
However, this yarn Is about Ossie's
ability to play around that hot corner
better than any third sacker you may
see this coming season.
Ossie, these ball players tell me, is
the greatest man on buntS you hdue
eDer tossed glint upon. These kid
pitchers dopn here never mope

Bluege. They knotp its tucked dudy

<hE general unanlullCy Oh
opinion that the Ameri-
i can League race this
year again will lie be-
tween the Athletics, Yankees
and Nationals is shared by Con-
ME Mack, who also agrees with
the consensus that New York
will prove the highest hurdle
his club has to clear In making
it four pennantS in a row.
AS to the topmost trio the
conclusion Is obvious, when it
is considered that Cleveland,
fourth in 1881, barely was able
to win more games than it lost
and not only wound up 80
games behind the victors, but
trailed the third-place Griff-
men by the healthy margin Of
IA games.
Whether New York will pro-
vide the sternest opposition en-
countered by the AS this year
is a fair point for debate, how
ever.

Reese Proved Failure.

r AIRY made good with the
IL Yanks, proving a capable
ShortStopper, although a
weak hitter, while as a second
baSeman Reese failed to make
the big league grade and has
slipped back.
This year Larry Is slated to
play third and probably will
fill the bill satisfactorily, but
there is no assurance that the
youthful newcomers will team
up in satisfactory style around
the middle cushion.
The 25-year-old Saltzgaver.
with st. Paul of the American
Association last year, achieved
the fine sticking percentage of
$40, a mark equaled with San
Francisco Of the Pacific Coast
League by Crosetti, four years
his junior.
Minor league averages don't
necessarily mean anything in
the big show, however, as the
Yanks learned in the cases of
Reese and Larry, and it isn't in
attack but afield that Saltz-
gaver and Crosetti will stand
or fall, for the new York team
Is well supplied with punch.
Keystone Pair All-Important.
THE defensive ability of the
i keystone combination is
rated as second to none
IN Importance with any club
there never has been a pennant
winner without one-and it
would seem overly optimistic to
expect two kids to deliver salts
factorily their first season in
fast company.
Both ultimately may make
good, but while they are acouir-
ing the high degree of polish
essential in the main tent, espe-
clally in the all-important busi-
ness OF executing double plays
many a game is likely to be
1rlttered away, with a resultant
weakening of the morale of the
boxmen who have to lean heav-
ny on the men directly behind
The Yankees will be a for
midable outfit, there is no oues-
tion Of that, but whether thew
can repeat their stunt of land
ing higher than the Nationals
remains to be seen.

1T is true the Yankees, by
L means of fast finish, while
the Griffmen were faltering,
succeeded in beating them out
for second place by a margin
Of two and one half games, but
the improved pitching they
hope for may be more than off,
set by an uncertain infield.
The only change in the regu-
lar array of the Nationals-the
installation of Carl Reynolds in
right fleld-unquestionably has
strengthened them on defense
as well as in attack, while the
experiment Manager Mccarthy
is making with his inner Gordon
is just that, an experiment.
On the strength of their rec
ords in the minors John Saltz-
gaver and Frank Crosetti are
fine prospects, but so were jim
my Reese and Lyn Larry when
they were transplanted from

click as a mid-diamond duo,

gether for years with the Oak

n YEW YORK. October 29.-One
brilliant thrust through the air,
v a 46-yard forward pass from
Cliff Montgomery to Tony
Natal for a touchdown in the first
period. enabled Columbia S rugged foot
ball team to whip its old rival Cornell,
6 to g. and preserve the Lions clean
slate today for the benefit of capacity
crowd OF 80 600 spectators.
This single perfect play" which saw
Columbia'S great end safely elude Cor
nell's defense and scamper 25 yards
across the goal line after making the
catch, was the only offensive thrill IN
the entire contest. Two sturdy, well
coached defensive lines, Columbia
backed by the star rowing center. Newell
Wilder. and Cornell's supported by the
hard tackling OF Capt Bart Vlviano,
otherwise fought each other TO stand
still.
Montgomery's superb punting, big
factor most OF the game, helped put
Columbia in position for its one scoring
punch The Lions had stopped Cor
nells first threat on the Lion 30-yard
line when Montgomery qulck-klcked 90
yards. Columbia got the ball on Ger
raro's return punt. and the touchdown
pass worked on the first play.
THEREAFTER, neither team showed
i anything but a few brief offensive
flashes. none of which was 5us-
tanned. The extent of the stalemate,
as the defense held the upper hand,
was revealed by the fact Cornell made
only one Of four first downs and gained
50 yards by rushing, compared with
three first downs and AZ yards for Co
lumbia.
The alert Cornell ends, Jose Martinez
Gorilla and J. M. Wallace, furnished
the opportunities for their mates to 60
places by blocking two kicks and re-
covering two fumbled punts, all in Co
lumba territory The Mexican star
dropped on Montgomery's tumble in the
third period On ColumbiaS 4G-yard line,
but first down by Ferraro on COlum-
bias "a marked the limit of CornelIs
driving power.
Twice in succession. in the final quar-
ter, Linehan's punts were blocked, first
by MartineZ-ZOrilla and then by WAL
lace. Linehan recovered the first free
ball himself, but the second went out
of bounds and into Cornells possession
on Columbia'S 14-yard mark. This was
the Ithacans' best scoring chance, but
a 3-yard gain was all Columbia's stout
defense yielded.
WALLACE completed his excellent
w days work by falling on Line
hans tumble Of a punt on Co
lumbia's 27-yard line. with only two
minutes to go. This menace was avert
ed when Brominski. Columbia halfback,
ipterceDtpd Grants mass on the ion
8-yard mark and Montgomery. called
back for just one play, punted 60
yards out Of danger.
Columbia's forwards, with Capt.
Steve Grenda and Tony Natal sharing
the star roles with Wilder, repeatedly
smeared the groundgaining attempts
of Capt. Viviano and Ferraro. The
longest gain of the game from scrim-
mage II yards. was made by Ferraro
The Lion secondaries reduced Cornell's
passing attack to such impotence that
