PLAYER CAN WIN HIGHEST HONOR NV AMERICAN NCE


 ST. LOUIS, Mo, April 25.-The American league trophy has decided by to vote that no player, who has been awarded the honor of be- ing the leagues most valuable ball player is eligible to succeed him. self. it was learned here today.
 The ruling makes 1t impossible for George Sisler of the Browns, the only player on whom this honor has been conferred thus far, to again to aspire to the award. It means that a player so honored can have his name only once on the American league monument to be erected in Washington.
 It was necessary for chairman L. E. Sanborn, of the committee to cast the deciding vote, as the eight bal lotting members of the committee tied.
 The committee still has under con- sideration the question whether play CTS of seasons prior to last year be given places on the leagues honor roll. The thought in this, it was ex- plained, was whether an American league list oE great players would be complete, without mention of such stars of pest seasons as Ty Cobb and Larry Lajpie. Z.

Bobby Hughes, who meets Jimmy Proto at the B. A. C. Fri day night, arrived in town Wednesday, and witnessed the Barons in their great triumph over the Bears at Redwood in the afternoon.
 Between innings. Bobby grew reminiscent, and told of the many battles he has fought since talk ing up the ring game. Hughes is now 20 years old, and says he has been fighting since he was IA. He estimates that he has fought as many as 300 ring bat ties during his career.
 Did l ever meet any cham , ions?" he once said, in response to a query. Well, I've met a few. but. most of all, I'll never forget the time I met Johnny Coulon at New Orleans for the worlds bantamweight title.
 Tt was many years ago, but HI never forget the date. 1t was on April 9, 1916, and then was my chance to win title and clean up a fortune. No, I didn't win. In fact. Coulon defeated me rather badly.
 "I defeated Frankie Mason two weeks after Johnny Buff lifted his American flyweight cham pionship. Rather close, l called 1t, to come within two weeks of a title"
 Hughes is a short, heavy set chap. who has the appearance of being very speedy and strong. He says he is in good shape for his battle with Proto.
 With Hughes came a buddy of his. flyweight named Wilson. who tipped us off to stake our all on Hughes to win Friday night.
 Bobby hasn't fought since Feb ruary. He says he has been ~ training over at Hot Springs, with the other box fighters, and that he feels fit and ready.

\ TOAST TO THEE. OH BILL MULDOON! A king has fallen.
 His SC ,pter's at rest.
 The sun of Lis glory.
 Has .ank in the west.
 Ring Barons he ruled
 With a wave of his hand. He was king of 'em all.
 In Fi-tiana land.
 The good ;no the bad,
 Both Quailed at his will. His kingdom he cleared.
 Of many an i'll.
 May the king that's going
 Grant us this bool.:
 Hear our toast to Th,e.
 Oh. Bill Muldoon!
 There are . dozen good reasons for not betting. on the Yankees this year. They all wear DetrOit's regalia and they all hit 300 or bet- ter in the season of 1922. Ty Cobb Is embarrassed. Never before has a manager been forced to choose nine men from among IF who hit 300.
 
 It seems that at last they have "got" Bill Muldoon. czar of the ring game in New York. A day or so ago. a license board-an innovation In tie ring game in the Empire state-granted to one Johnny kilbane, grizzled champ of the featherwelghts, license to box in New York And that seems to be proof of the pud- ding.
 Bill ,-uldoon, during his reign as boxing commissioner, has denied kilbane and couple of . other champions the right to box in New York, claiming they are unfit as title holders. Not as long as l have anything to say In the matter. will Kilbane box l. New York;" once asserted the commissioner, it Is said. Well, Kilbane will box in New York. and so it seems that Bill has nothing to say in the matter.
 Nevertheless, it must be ad- mitted that the fiery old Irish man performed a service to box ing during his reign as commits sioner. He cleaned the game of many evils. open gambling, sup posed "faking," etc. The boys SOOH IOulu out that tucy COuluH get by with stalling any more and New, Workers began to enjoy the real thing when Muldoon's reign was suddenly checked.
 Perhaps if Muldoon hadn't been quite as drastic as he was. he might have continued as czar of New York's Fistiana, but it seems that now he must give over the reigns of authority. Bill probably will retain some of his powers, but the appointment of that license committee. and It's powers of council over com missioner will certainly trim the wings of the wild Irishman.
 Beginning his seventeenth season as a major league pitch CT, Walter Johnson slow-balled the Athletics. Walter John son, whose very name meant speed when his teammates were in grammar school. using d floater! A few years ago jokes were current about Johnsons slow-baTl and the o. about Slim Sallee's fast one, Johnson couldn't throw any slower than the flight of meteor and Sars fast ball couldn't keep pace with push-cart.
 When Johnson was the
 fire-baIl king in 1912 or thcreabouts. he could fast
 hall himself out of pinsh
 which was a crazy thing for
 any pitcher to try. No longer as strong In .he arm as he
 was, he has learned late in
 life the tricks he didn't

 traveie6 faster tha.- the eye.
 
 To wind up ones career in any line of work in a blaze of glory is considered amonk the highest
