and many other new ideas have made
cheap golf balls good golf balls. And
the Improvement in the higher-priced
balls has been just as marked. One
major betterment has been in the
wearing qualities Of the golf ball OF
today.
That vulcanizing invention
has increased the life Of the hall
until today the average golfer in
America buys fewer balls be-
cause they last longer.
It hurts our resale business but we
are putting out better product and
we aren't having so many squawks
about the ball cutting from topped
iron shot. The 1896 ball has been
and the 1887 golf ball will be the
finest product that ever sliced from
one fairway to the other"
In the field of clubs the changes
won't be so marked. There's o trend
toward shallower faces for the wooden
clubs, toward longer pear-shaped
heads and toward sitter shafts. The
whippy steel shaft that was the rage
two years ago is out-definitely. It
did knock the ball long way but the
direction was hard to control. Iron
heads will be little deeper, but that
had to come. The older heads were a
shade on the shallow side, even though
they got the ball up fairly well.
A ND the trend in shafts ranges from
"a a step-down arrangement Of rib
bing to a construction whereby little
(very little) whip Is placed in just be-
low where the grip stops. There won't
be one wooden-shafted club sold in
1887 to every 100 steel-shafted affairs.
It will be practically all steel
next year, even though Johnny
Fischer won the amateur cham
pionship Of 1886 with . mongrel
set Of wooden -shafted clubs.
Perhaps the next big change will
come in all-metal clubs, and abandon
ment of the wooden head, so the clubs
can all be turned out in metal shop.
But that hasn't made any headway as
yet, although one manufacturer tried
1t out Q few years back. and Miller
stevinson still uses the rnetal-headed
clubs and does fairly wen with en-.

Washington's Ossie Bluege.
Bucky Harris used the 36-year-old
veteran at three positions last season
and Bluege topped the league in all
except one, when he gave way to a
teammate, Ralph (ReO Kress. Kress,
however, played far less games at the
position Second base), and Bluege
probably won more honors at the post
9aan he did anywhere else.
As a third baseman Bluege played
Is games, handled total of 48
chances, started four double plays and
made only l error, for a percentage
of .979. The real leader of the third
basemen was Red Rolfe of the Yanks,
who flelded 1856 and played 1873 games.
As a shortstop Bluege played 20
games, handled 104 chances, figured
in double plays and flelded .o8l.
Bill Rogell was the actual leader. The
Detroit shortstop, playing las games,
wound up with a mark of .965.
Bluege played most of his games at
second base, where he f1elded 1898. He
played So games, whereas Kress, who
fielded 1895 at that position, was in
only 80 games as a second baseman.
It was at this post that Bluege turned
in brilliant string by going 81 games
without an error, handling 9l putouts
and ia assists, a total of 205 chances.
This perfect fielding lasted from June
4 through July 16.
Fielding at High Standard.
GENERALLY, the fielding in the
American League was kept at a
high standard. the circuit as whole
fielding 971. This is only a point be-
low the 1885 figure and only two under
the all-time major league high. De-
troit, 1885 leader, held its place at
the top of the list, though dropping
from .978 to .975.
Washington finished sixth in team
fielding with .e70 clip.
One major league record and five
American League records were broken
during the season. Three major
league marks also were equaled and
in q department for which no records
appear to exist there were "a unas-
sisted double plays turned in by first
hasemen.
1t was in this department that the
major league mark fell. Jim Bottom
ley of the Browns topped by one the
old mark when he completed the sea-
son, with eight unassisted double plays
at first base. He was co-holder with
three others Of the old record OF
seven.
The American Leagues total Of
seven triple plays tied the all-time
standard set by the circuit in 1922
and equaled by the National League
In 1929. Joe Kuhel figured in two
of the triple plays. Others in them
were Bluege, Buddy Lewis, Walter
Miles and Kress Of Washington.
Outfielder Fabian Gaffke of the Red
Sox, rookie, was the only fly chaser
to be involved in one of the rare plays.
Zeke Bonura of the White Sox,
known as clumsy fielder, participated
in $50 double plays from his first-base
post, tying the major league record
set in 1885 by Joe Kuhel. The third
