CHAMPIONS BEGIN SIXTH SERIES TILT, FIRST TIME SINCE 1926
Hack Wilson Is Voted Most Valuable
Received but One First Vote,
but Seconds, Thirds and
Fourths Are Enough

Philadelphia. Oct. g. Hack
Wilson, smuggling center fielder Of the
Chicago Cubs, has been voted the
most valuable player Of the National
league by a committee of the Baseball
Writers Association Of America.
Wilson, who smashed all National
league home run records this year and
dethroned Babe Ruth as the major
league home run king, won the dis
tinction after q close contest with
frankie Frisch, captain of the st.
Louis Cardinals, and Bill Terry, first
baseman of the New York Giants and
the new National league batting
champion.
The election, although made by the
same committee that functioned on
behalf Of the National league In 1920,
was unofficial, inasmuch as the league
last year abandoned its annual custom
of picking the most valuable player
and rewarding him with 1000. How
ever, william L. Veeck, president Of
the Chicago Cubs, announced the Chi
cago club would give Wilson the $1,000.
Wilson, although he only received
one vote for first place, had q total Of
10 points, five of the eight writer's
picking him for second place, one for
third, and another fourth. Frisch re-
ceived four votes for first place and
a total Of GA points. while Terry was
the first choice Of three Of the writer's
and had a total of So points.
Wilson led both leagues in home
runs with q total of Sc. He created q
new all-time major league record FOL
runs batted in, totaling 100, and hi,
batting average was 1856.

Nodaks Open Loop Play Friday Evening
Coach Jack West Will Have All
Regulars but Bill Mjog-
dahlen for Tilt

Grand Forks, N. d, Oct. 8-R-.
It's pre-conference schedule out OF
the way. in which they ran up &c
points while holding st. Mary's,
Superior Teachers, and Davis-Elkins
s~corelesS, North Dakota's Tickeytails
this week r preparing for the open
ing battle of the North Central loor
race with Morningside here Friday
evening.
Holding championships for 1928 ano
1929, North Dakota Is out to make 1t
three in q row, and by comparative
scores the Nodaks now are occupying
the position Of ~favorites again. Prac-
tice tits show Morningside and North
Dakota Aggies rs two Of the most
powerful opponents. with South Da-
kota State and South Dakota untver-
sity looming as uncertainties.
Coach G. A. West and his athletes
figure MorningSide as opposition that
must be taken more seriously than
the Maroons have been taken since
the organization of the conference.
Saunderson has IL lettermen from
last year-a veteran for every posi-
ton, but with several sensational
sophomores who are pushing exper-
fenced regulars out Of the picture.
West thinks the Maroon backfield will
be the fastest he will meet in the
loop schedule and the line bigger
than his own.
The Nodaks came through their
game with DaviS-Elkins without ad-
ditional bruise and there are posi-
bilities that West will have his full
strength on the field for the first
time this year. The only doubtful
casual is Bill Mjogdalen, guard, who
has been out since the first game Of
the year with an infected leg. He
may not play against Morninsside.
West may keep him out until the
Homecoming battle here with South
Dakota State Oct. Is.
Scrimmages with the freshmen &C.
cupied the attention of the varsity
the first two days Of the week, sched-
uled principally for the reserves. West
found his team greatly improved In
the Davis E1kins game, especially or
the line. Joe Bourne, center, per-
formed in a manner which relieves
the coaches Of much worry v that
position.
Felber and Beng, ends, are every
thing that q coach could ask for,
while the tackles-one Of the early
problems-are developing with every
appearance. They were particularly
effective against the Senators pass
ing game.
Lowe and Dablow at guards are
figured able to take n Of those posi-
tions until Mjogdalen returns to the
lineup.

PRIMO'S q WINS DISCOUNTED:
JIMMY MALONEY DEFEATS HIM
Giant italian Wins Only Last
Two Rounds; Gould Not
Hurt Fat One

Boston, Oct. 8.-R)-The fistic ca
liabilities Of Primo Camera, here
tofore either under or overesttmated,
were accurately gagged last night by
Jimmy Maioney, Boston's favor1te but
unreliable heavyweight. Giving away
IS pounds to the Italian behemoth,
the Boston fat boy" clearly outpoint-
ed him In q furious 10-round suggest
at the Boston garden.
Maloney proved Carnera does not
possess q killing punch. He digested
exactly 1876 Of the giants blows, and
the only time he lost his footing was
when he fell against the ropes after
missing q Wild '.roundhouse" right to
the Italians jaw late in the bout. The
Boston battler's performance, ct least
to the $4,000 who witnessed the ex-
citing set-to, also Indicated It would
be sound Judgment to disregard the
23 consecutive victories, = via the
knockout route. that the "ambling
Alp" has piled up against carefully s.
Iected opponents since he started his
American ring invasion early this
year.
The Boston battler also proved Car
nera was easy to hit. Maloney scored
| 1872 times to the head or body Of his
huge opponent, and 30 per cent Of
them landed cleanly. Most Of Car
nera's punches were short right or
left chops to the head and body,
struck after his brute force had
pushed his lo6-pound rival against
the ropes or into . corner.
Maloney was on the short end OF
the 4 to / betting odds. but he fought
the greatest battle OF his long ring
career and his victory was honestly
earned. Cameras IS pounds advan.
tage and his eight inches in height
enabled him to turn and twist Ma
loney as he wished, to take the first
two rounds.
Maloney improved in the following
round, and had the battle won before
he wilted in the ninth. The Italians
cmaxing strength gave him the las'
two sessions, but these points were MOI
enough to sway the officials In hi
favor.
Camera fought like q novice DURING
most Of the bout, and the only time
he troubled Maloney was when HI

st. Paul, Oct. 8.-{F-Announce-
ment that Trinity college Of Sioux
