All Fielding Leaders New.

NEW fielding champions were
L crowned in every position this
year with a several-point improve
ment in defensive play noticeable
throughout practically the entire cir
cult. The fielding average of the league
as a whole was bettered two points
over the 1884 figure to .972, while
the Tigers that last year shared team
honors with the Nationals at .974 i'm
proved points and assumed sole
leadership with a .978 average.
The Nationals fell to fourth-place
tie with the Indians at fielding with
a mark of .972. But they led the
league in making 1876 double-plays,
leaving them lone double-play shy
of the league record set by the Indians
in 1928 and under the major league
mark of 1874 the Reds made in 1928
and again in 1881.
Individual laurelS were divided
among players of several teams.
Jimmy Foxx, star first Sacker Of the
Athletics, who went to the Red Sox
in the biggest deal of the major
league Winter meetings, topped his
field with an average Of .997. Jimmy
was charged with only three errors
as he replaced zeke Bonura of the
White Sox, winner of the honor in
1884. Bonura was second this year
with 1894,

Former Criffmen
Great Travellers

-FOUR former Washington ball
l. players, Carl Reynolds. Carl
Fischer, Lloyd Brown and Walter
Stewart, now share the American
League travelling honors since the
Chicago White Sox have released
Sam Jones and transferred Muddy
Ruel from the active list to the
position of coach.
With these changes involving
this other pair of ex-NationalS the
league was left without player
who had been with six of the eight
clubs. Ruel started with the
Browns, caught for New York,
Boston, Washington, Boston again,
Detroit, st. Louis again and finally
for Chicago. Jones started with
Cleveland, was traded to Boston to
New York to st. Louis to Washing
ton and eventually to the White
Sox.
Reynolds, Fischer, Brown and
Stewart each have been with four
American League clubs.

Manush Whitehiu Near 3e.


DESPITE this poSsihility-and with
~ c. c. Griffith it is more or less
of confirmed belief-it must have
been disheartening to note the lacka-
daisical chord struck by rival clubs
when his ball players we're placed on
the block. Base ball fortunes fuctu-
ate quickly, so quickly that not even
an old hoss trader of Grifnth's sagac-
ity consistently can forsee, to the
almost necessary day, when to dis
pose of mellowing talent
Only year ago Manush would have
brought a neat parcel of ball players
in trade He finished the 1884 cam
paign with a batting average of .349
and his 12-year major league average
was 1897. In 1888 he led the American
League in most hits.
Last week it was different. Col
Jake Rupert of the YankS and Tom
Yawkey were willing to buy Manush,
banking on one or two more good
years of ball left in his system, but
not player would they give up.
Suddenly it was remembered that he
had batted only .273, that he was
going to be So years old in July, and
that despite his standing among the
first five regular gardeners in field
ing Heinie was credited with only
eight assists all year, beSpeaking his
inability to throw. Ben Chapman, one
of the Yanks whom Grif was anxious
to get in trade for Heinie, had %
assists.
A few clubs were interested In
Whitehill, but when it came to Griff
asking who would be given in ex-
change they recalled that Earl, too,
has spent dozen years in the majors,
that he will be So in February, and
that for the last two seasons he has
given up more hits than any other
pitcher in the league. And only two
years ago Earl won % games and
lost eight. He had an earned run
average of 3.33 in 1898, too.
1t was much the same with Fred
Schultz, one of the chief cogs of the
pennant-winning team of 1888. Eight
years OF campaigning took the spec
from Fred's legs and his 1858 average
last season hardly was enough for 9
manager to gamble upon.

Travis Thiri-Ba Star.

CECIL TRAVIS, the Nationals
~ youngster, was second among the
circuits third basemen with fielding
mark Of 1868, only point below the
leading Rolfe's average. Kuhel,
though, was sixth among the first
sackers with his .991 average, and the
Nationals had no outfielder like Sam
West of the Browns, who led the
league with .989. Heinie ManuSh was
the best produced by the Washington
club. He fielded .985 to become sixth
in the list. Manush, though, partici-
pated in five double plays, to be sec
ond only to Ben Chapman OF the
Yankees, who was in seven.
Ossie Bluege was best of the five
ehortstops used by the Nationals. The
veteran went along at .967 in So games
to finish next to the leader, Rogeu. In
the group Of catcherS the washington
contingent was virtually last. Bill
Dickey Of the Yankees, catching 1l8
games in 1895 fashion, took over the
supremacy gained in 1884 by Rick
Farrell of the Red Sox.
There were 18 pitchers who fielded
at 1,0o0-a perfect average-in 1884.
Only dozen did so this year, and
there were but two holdovers-Henry
johnson Of the Red Sox and Gen.
Crowder Of the Tigers. Among the
10 newcomers to this star lot was Bob
Burke, who fielded far better than he
pitched before the Nationals let him
CO. In his Is games the stringbean
southpaw handled 20 changes.

Myer Finishes Well LID.

A T SECOND BASE, Charley Gehrin-
n ger of the Champion Tigers,
moved to the top of the list. He
handled the ball at a .985 clip, making
only 13 errors in 851 chances. Myer
finished second with .e79. He made
20 errors in 953 chances. oscar Me-
lilo, who divided his time between
the Browns and the Red SoX and who
headed his field in 1884. landed third
among the regular middle sackers
at .973.
The shortStop brigade lead was as
sumed by Bill Rogell of the Tigers.
He flelded at .971 pace to supplant
the 1884 leader, Lyn Larry, who this
year divided his time between the Ma
tionals and the Browns.
Robert Rolfe of the Yankees was
the best of the third basemen with
1854. Rolfe wreSted the laurels from
Willie Kamm, who had led the leagues
third basemen eight times but who
played in only four games this year
before being released by the Tribe.
