BY JACK SORDS

With the closing of the season,
fans are beginning to give thought
to the most valuable player choices
in the big leagues. And the COM
mittee selected are going to have no
easy time in choosing a player in
their respective leagues.
The American league in the past
has made its selection prior to the
world series. This, it was agreed,
put the player chosen at a disad-
vantage If he happened to be Q par
ticipant in the series and as a result
the selection this year will not be
made until after the big noise. A
striking example of this is the ease
Of Roger Peckinpaugh. Peck was
given the award in the American
league in 1925 while with the Wash.
ington Senators Immediately after
the playing season. How miserably
he performed in the series that fol
lowed is a matter Of record.
Five teams in the American and
four in the National league seem "a
have likely looking candidates this
year. In the National, Paul Waner
and his brother Lloyd, Of the Pi-
rates, must be considered. Rogers
Hornsby, Travis Jackson and Bur
leigh Grimes are candidates present
ed by the Giants. Frank Frisch was
the big noise with the Cardinals,
while Charlie Root and Hack Will
son Of the almost miracle team, the
Cubs, will figure in the balloting.
In the American league Lou Geh.
rig of the Yankees stands out, but
the relief pitching Of Wiley Moore
was one big aid to the Yanks in dis
tress. Babe Ruth is not eligible,
having been chosen in 1928. Harry
Heilmann's cloating was q big help
to the Tigers. The same is true OF
AL Simmons Of the Athletics. but he
has been out Of the game for some
time. Young Hadley, Horace Lisen-
bee and Muddy Ruel OF Washington
must be reckoned with as we'll as
Ted Lyons Of the White Sox.
The players chosen in the past in
the American league were George
Sisler, st. Louis. 1922; Babe Ruth,
New York, 1928; Walter Johnson,
Washington, 1924; Roger Peckin-
pau.h. Washington, 1925, and George
Burns, Cleveland, 1926.

Honor Judge Gresham.

Judge w. G. Gresham of st. Pet
er, one of the earliest settlers in this
community and also one of the oldest
residents of St. Peter, will soon cele-
brate his 95th birthday anniversary.
His home is constantly visited by
former friends and associates, histor-
ians and other guests of note, who
are anxious to secure data concern
ing the early occupation of this terri
tory. Among his distinguished call
ers last week were Dietrich Lang,
principal of Mechanic Arts high
school of st. Paul, who has written
several books of interest dealing with
Indian history. They are ION The
Trail of The Sioux, "Silver Island of
The Chippewas" and Mature Trails,
and are of special interest to boys.
With him on the occasion of his re-
cent visit was his son, Capt. Lang
of West Point, who is an instructor
in that institution. Both were asso-
ciated with Judge Gresham during his
tenure of office as superintendent Of
schools of Nicollet county, and were
pleased to renew his acquaintance af-
ter many years of separation.-St.
Peter Herald. Judge Gresham is
known to many Redwood Falls peo-
pie, having been a frequent guest of

YOUNG MAN MAKES
A FINE RECORD

Francis Graham Ross, the grand
son of Mrs. A. w. Ross Of Redwood
Falls, is about to start work in the
Chase National Bank of New York,
and to study law in the night school
of the New York University. The
young man, who is the son of j. Nc
Cormick Ross, has made a most en-
viable record for himself as well as
having had a most interesting educa-
ton thus far. He was born in 1906
and started his school days when he
was nine years of age by entering St.
Clements College at Toronto, where
he remained for two years. Short
ly before his eleventh birthday he
started at the University Military
School at Victoria, B. c., and re-
NAMED there for four years. He
matriculated to McGill University at
the age of fourteen but being too
young to enter college he took the
first year of University by extra
rural work, thus entering second year
university work at Victoria College,
University of British Columbia, at
the age of fifteen. He started the
third college year at McGill at the
age of sixteen and was graduated in
June of 1925 at the age of eighteen
with the degree of Bachelor of Arts,
taking honors in history and English
and leading the combined depart
ments. He then entered the Harvard
Graduate School of Business Admin
istration and graduated in June OF
this year at the age of twenty. This
is an extremely good record for so
young a man. Mr.. Ross also has an
enviable athletic record made in the
Canadian schools while in attendance

DIN Case Settled

On July 9Th the Supreme Court of
this state handed down a decision of
particular interest to Renville county
residents. It appears from the deci-
sion that several years ago Andrew
]. Olin of Franklin turned over to
the State Bank of Franklin certain
items of property. After Mr.. Olin's
death some of the creditors of his
estate sued the bank and endeavored
to obtain this property for them
selves. The bank claimed that Mr..
Olin had made this arrangement in
good faith and to secure debt which
he owed.
After more than two years of iti-
cation the controversy has been de-
finitely settled by the Supreme Court
in favor of the State Bank of Frank
lin. The Supreme Court in its deci-
sion upheld the bank in every con-
tention and found that the transac-
tion was fair and proper in every re-
