FRISCH NAMED
BEST PLAYER

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-Frankie
Frsich has been voted the most
valuable" player in the National
League by a committee Of base
ball writer's and the news will
probably be most gratifying to the
''Fordham Flash" when he hears
of it in far-off Japan, even it
the award comes a year late.
frankie was the outstanding
ballplayer in the league year
ago, but the committee awarded
the palm to Hack" Wilson be-
cause the hammered-doWn giant
fashioned Sc home runs.
This year Hack" didn't score
more than Sc runs all told,
while Frisch went on to lead
the Cardinals to another cham
piOnship.
AS q matter Of fact, Frisch was
a better player and more valuable
to his team in 1880 than during
the past season. The hitting Of
Hafey and Bottomley and the
presence Of Paul Derringer on the
pitching staff made possible the
comparatively easy pennant VIC
tory achieved by the Red Birds
last month
In 1880, though, Frisch's pres
e11ce at second base was all that
enabled the Cards to sneak home.
All other contenders for the flag
Brooklyn, New York and Chicago
were weak at second base.
FriSch could have won it for any
one Of the four teams, and did
win it for st. Louis.

BOSTON, Oct. 21.-Secret prac-
tice is a term familiar to all fans
who follow the destinies Of their
favorite football team diving the
fall months. Many persons won
der what mysterious things so on
behind the walls or fences Of the
secret practice field, where the
team is groomed to maze its ap-
pearance each Saturday in games
against the visiting colleges.
The idea is to prevent inter-
ruption or interference with the
work Of the coaches. Spectators
distract the players and often
interfere with the practice by
talking to players or getting in
the way.
Knows Team Is Secuted
Every coach is aware his team
is being secuted in every game.
Sometimes, the smart coach will
almost offer to show rivals his
plays and then figure on beating
them by better execution.
Furthermore, players must
concentrate and coaches have
now. shortened their sessions to
the point where they must use
every minute Of the season to
teach all that they desire.
One coach Of my acquaintance
posts q notice on the bulletin
board for his squad, telling them
how many minutes are available
each day before the end Of the
season, and calls his whole season
a race against time. In such q
race, any outside diversions will
hurt the development Of the
team.
From all of the above, it might
appear that the practice behind
the fence was all serious business,
put ask any boy who has gone
through a season and he will tell
you many a story of the fun that
went on behind the sign of secret
practice. In fact, the boy who
likes football enjoys every minute
that he is in togs and especially
the time that he is in scrimmage.
In the old days the squad
had practically nothing but
scrimmage from one day to the
next, and the more SCrimmage
tnat was held the better prac.
-t1ce seemed to be and the better
the training Of the team.
As a result. there were many
star players who never appeared
IN the objective games Of their
team.
They would be injured in prac-
t1ce long before the close of the
season and useless when really
needed. Some coaches today
think nothing Of Scrimmaging
their teams for hours daily in
practice. But the modern, pro-
greSSive, successful coach tends
to scrimmage his regulars less
and less every year.
Follow HauGhtOn's Plan
Haughton was one If the earli-
est coaches to curtail on the num-
ber OF ScrimmageS. His teams
would be hardened and whipped
into shape by mid-seaSon, and
then the first-String men would
not hold any Scrimmages at all
Tor the last third Of the season.
This plan Of Haughton's Is the
one usually followed by coaches

Tip" with his $1,000. despite
bis collegiate training. knew Of
no line Of activity that he could
enter save those pertaining to
the ranch. Born in South Dakota
he knew about cattle. When he
was told that Mexican catslemen
were selling away below the mar
ket he at once set out for that
war-worried country.
When O'Neil struck Chihuahua
Paneho villa was going great
guns. The American cattle buy
er was careful not to antagonize
the patriot bandit. He set about
getting a train load OF cattle.
To do this he borrowed $4,000
on the strength Of his $4,000.
The train-Ioad was bought and
started for the border. At Juarez
the viIlaistas descended. captur-
ed and confiscated the cattle. and

out OF the country in "a hours

Of scuttling for the border he set
himself to find out how to beat
the Mexican confiseation game.
He was advised that what he
needed was a concession" and
that to get It he must interview a
prominent revolutionary leader.
He did so with the help Of a
Greek. He explained his plight
to the rebel leader
You must have a concession,
the leader said urbanely. THAT
means that the viIistas are to
receive One-third Of the cost OF
what you purchase. No. no,
don't submit to the what you
call graft-nOt at all. We collect
at the expense Of our own people.
1t is this way. You agree with
the farmer to buy a COW at $50.
You nay him $50 and the revolu-
tionary government $40. The
farmer understands about the
third. Il is HIS contribution to

Conditions Accepted
Omen accepted the conditions.
Mexican cattlemen were glad to
deal with him on a ''two-thirds''
basis because II they didn't sell
to somebody they would lose any
way because the revolatIonists
would kin the cattle and eat
them. The result was that he
was able to buy cattle at un-
heard OF low prices-and before
his Concession" ran out he had
recouped his losses.
