Tommy would lille-to take a
trip to California. He hasn't been
there since he tried TO wrest the
lightweight crown from Willie
Richie at San Francisco in 1914,
the year before Murphy retired.
He is a tool checker now at the
Todd shipyard in Brooklyn.
He is comfortably fixed finan-
cially. thanks to his SaVing s

ance sideline. But he doesn't feel
that he can afford to spend for a

hoping for an impersonator or an

robust fellow who peels off at
about 80 pounds. He is re-

Brilliant Fielding Aided Cards to Top
Four of En-
Lead Circuit

NEW YORK, Dec. 81 up
The dominance of the st. Louis
Cardinals over the rest of the Ma
tional League this year was due
in no small part to their fielding
brilliance.
Official figures released today
disclosed three of the circuits
four leading infielders were Card
inalS and they set a new major
league mark for team fielding.
Ray Sanders. the Cards first
baseman, led the league defen-
sively at that post with a fielding
mark of 1894, George Kurowski,
third baseman, was tops at that
position with .965 and Martin
(moSt valuable player) Marion
topped the short steps with a .972
mark.
The outsider in the infield was
Woodrow (Woody) Williams. Gin
.cinnati's fine second baseman,
who topped keystone players with
"a fielding average of .97l.
TOP BATTERY MEN
The top fielders of the battery
men in the circuit were pitcher
William lBucky4 Walters of Gin
cinnati and catcher AL Lopez of
Pittsburgh.
Walters, the leagues winning
est huFler, accepted 20 chances
without an error for a fielding
mark of 1000, demonstrating why
he frequently is referred TO as an
extra infielder when he is on the
mound.
Lopez had a fielding average of
9S4 and by catching lis of his
teams games, tied the National
League record for catching in 100
or more games per year for II
years, a record set by Charles
lGabbyl Hartnett- Chicago,
Iron Man Ray Mueller of Gin
.einHati caught all OF his clubs
games TO set a new league record
for a season. He ended the 1913
campaign with a string of 81 con-
'secutive games caught, which,
plus the 155 this year, gave him
a new major league endurance
record of catching PIT successive
championship games.
