titled Behind Banks and Business" and

age that finds most Of them in the
minor leagues protesting to the
world that they're just as good as
ever, Bluege realized the ambition
of his career. He was the leading
infielder Of the American League
with a fielding average Of .988.
He played second, short and
third, and played them Just as
you'd expect OsSie Bluege to play.
He laughed at the set, left field
defense Of the opposition and
arched his shots over the infield.
Figures might add support to
the contention that there were
better third basemen than Bluege.
The record books show that over
the years Joie Sewell, Jimmie
Dykes, Jumping" Joe Dugan and
Willie Kamm set the pace. But
with a nod to the record books,
without attempting to discount
their value, baseball men always
talked about the ease and grace of
Bluege whenever they gathered at
the winter meetings or at the
World Series conclaves.
Bluege never reckoned with
figures. Even now, when time
has exacted its toll from his legs,
he refuses to decline the issue
with any hit. When balls were
hit into his territory, he went
after them, full speed ahead. His
hands, deft and certain in their
clutch; as swift as thought in
their moves. made pretty nearly
any ball hit near him a certain
out.
Reached Peak in 1927
Down through the years he an
nually handled 450 chances or
more, reaching a peak in activity
in 1927, when he handled 522
chances. In 1882 he took care OF
463 chances, ranking third in his
position.
Ranking tenth among the third
basemen in 1928, Bluege played
spectacular ball in 1924, the first
pennant year. Perhaps he was
fortunate in following such men
as La Motto and Smith. BY COM
parison, he was nothing if not a
Thurston Of the infield. In 1925,
the second pennant year, Bluege
was even better, ranking third in
the American League, croWdine
Kamm and Dugan for honors.
Bluege had one of his greatest
years in 1888, when the Gifts

The same man, wise with the
years today walked into the same
offices, sat at the same desk, and
for all we know, grasped the same

Reach Agreement Easily
With swinging hand, he traced
Oswald L. Bluege" across a
standard form American League
contract.
The terse announcement by
Clark Griffith said that "the
club and Bluege had no trouble
in reaching an agreement"
This is testimony to the gooc
judgment of the contracting
parties. The. Washington club
needs that steadying, velvety
veteran Of the infield at third
base, or shortStop, or may
be at second or first. Three years
ago when we stood to drink toaStS
to the Washington injured,
Bleuge even played left field and
played it well, despite certain
deficiencies in throwing to the
plate from the fence.

It was said generally in those
