SiSler Began as HurIer

St. Louis. Mo. September 21.-(spe- cial. )--George Sisler, Browns first baseman, selected by a committee of baseball writers as the greatest all round player in the American league, started his diamond career as pitcher at the University of Michigan where he struck out 90 of 21 bat ters to face him in a seven inning game.
 Coming to the majors in 1915. he was placed in the outfield, because of his batting prowess. and later shifted to first base.
 Sisler. as the records will show this season, outdid every other play CT in both the American and National league In hitting, stolen bases, runs and other respects.
 His department on and eff the field also played a big part in his selection.
 Cooperation in teamwork and regu- larity in service were other points considered.
 Suspended only Once
 In his entire career, Sisler has been suspended only once. That was for mixup with Umpire Htldebrand several years ago.
 Two years ago Ssler refused the nanagership of the Browns. explain ing that he feared that responsibili- ties incident to managerial berth would interfere with his playing.
 While far greater playing asset 10 tho Browns than Babe Ruth is to the New York Yankees, Sisters salary Is los than half the s50,000 paid Ruth annually. Sisters three year contract expires next year.
 Sisler was born in Manchester Ohio, March s4, 1893. He pitched for the Akron team in 1911, attended the University of Michigan 191s-1914 and came to the Browns in 1915. He is married, and is poprietor of a printing company here. which he manages during the winter.

Cooper and Propst Are Adding Strength to
 Thin Red Line
Rx EMMET McGAuLY

University, September 21.-(Spe- cial.)-With the return of Captain Cooper to the line. and the addition of Shorty PropSt. football stock has risen sky high in the Crimson camp. The line Is showing mid-season form and now that none are on the injured list, they are being held to the grind by line coach Vandegraff.
 One of the hardest scrimmages of the season was held yesterday after noon, between the varsity and the re- since so fierce a struggle has been witnessed in a practice on Denny Field. The varsity was given offen- sive work and never once were they held for downs. The fumbling that was so noticeable in the game Sat urday with the freshman was entire ly gone, and the backfield was func- tioning almost perfectly.
 Time was called several times for injured men, but only for a moment, as they always came through smil- ing and anxious to get back in the fray.
 substitutlons in the reserve line were numerous. but the varsity line was held intact and went through the entire scrimmage without change.
 Backfieid Improves
 The work of the backfield has been greatly improved. and with added speed. they plowed their way up and down the field, through tho reserve line with an occasional lone run by Bartlett or Oliver. These two speed demons wiggled and side stepped time and time again for long gains.
 Tn the last few minutes of work, an aerial attack was launched and many passes completed. Clemens still has his uncanny mack of spearing the pigskin out of the ether. and he made several sensational catches.
 A large crowd of students fill the stands every afternoon and watch the progress of the team. and occasional outbursts of enthusiasm greet some spectacular play.

By Associated Pr .s

Chicago. September 2t.-George II. sisler of the St. Louis Browns. gem orally rated as the greatest first baseman in the major leagues, to- night was awarded the American league trophy offered by the club owners as reward to the player who proved of greatest service to his team during the 1922 championship season.
 Sisler's name will be the first in- scribed on the S100.000 baseball mon ument to be erected by the American league in Washington, D. C., and pre- sented to the government as a me- morial to the national sport and a hall of fame for perpetuating the me- mory of its greatest players.
 1The St. Louis star. regarded as the logical successor to Ty Cobb as the games greatest player, has hit .400 or better all season. Is remarkable fielder and perhaps the fastest player in the major leagues. He Is a handler.
 Ed RommeI Second
 Sisler was awarded the title of best player for 1922 by wide margin. according to the official announce ment made by I. s. Sanborn. chairman of the American league trophy com mittee. His nearest rival in the con test was Ed Rommel, whose pitch ing was recognized as the chief fac tor in lifting the Athletics out of eighth place. The St. Louis first baseman lacked only five points of receiving 64, the highest possible vote. Rommefs total was 31 points.
 Ray Schalk. the White Sox catcher, was close third with PC points. Joe Bush received the highest total of any of the New York teams, with 19 points which ranked him fourth, just ahead of Eddie Collins of Chi cage. Ty Cobb, for many years the greatest player in the league, did not receive a vote,
 The contest was decided by a com mittee of eight baseball writers, one in each city of the circuit, each of \. hom selected eight best players cne from each team and ranked them according to their individual prefer cnces on ballots so arranged that first place counted eight points. and eighth place one point.
 It was explained following the de, cisiun that player managers had been ruled ineligible for competition wher the decisoin to select the most valu- able player annually was reported

is counted on for reserve tackle this year. Penny Griggs will likely get the call at the reserve end.
 In the BackfieId
 The backfield problem, with SO many vets missing from last year, has finally resolved itself into a question of just who will run the team this year. and with the return of Jess Laekey to the squad, Coach Cope thinks that he has the men for the job. The work of Jess in recent practices has proven a reve- lation to the team, and spurred the candidates on to greater efforts. Hulan Whitehead has also been ased at quarter, and will likely receive the call good deal of the lime there this year. Stumpy Clark. tan- other letter man from last year, will been seen at full. while Fred White. Billy Hare, Mcintosh and Yarbor-s oagh are the men that are scrapping 1t out for the halfs. The starting backfield for Saturdays affair is wholly problematical, and will re- main so up until game time.
 With a little more work Thurs day and Friday afternoons Coaches Cope and Dobbins hope to have gthe team in shape for the initial struG- gle of the season Saturday.
