CHOICE: or
w z | I Z s

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. %. U.P)-
Charles (Gabby) Hartnett, Chicago
Cubs catcher. was the most valuable
player in the national league for
1885. the baseball writer's association
of America announced today.
Eartnett won by a shade over Je-
rome II. CDi2zy) Dean, ace Of the
St Louis Cardinals pitching staff.
Gabby received rs points against
&C for Dean. Eight members Oh the
associations committee participated
in the final poll, with five of them
naming Hartnett for first. Two pick
ed Dean and one named Wally Ber-
ger, Boston Braves outfielder.
First choice was worth 10 points,
second choice nine and down one
point for tenth choice.
Hartnett won first place both for
his timely hitting and work behind
the bat. He WAS among the leading
batters, with an average Of .344 for
the season.
Dean, who carried the major share
Of the pitching burden Tor his team
during the closing days of the sea-
son, probably would have taken first
place had the Cardinals won the pen
nant. He appeared in SO games, VIM

Two years ago, when his Wolver-
ines were the SOURCE of the Big
Ten, many enthusiasts said Kipke
was the most wonderful thing since
the first rainbow. Now, only two
seasons later, many of those same
enthusiasts are suggesting he be
sent off to chase the end of the
rainbow to make room for someone
else.
This brings us down to Brother
Lou Little of Columbia who was a
miracle" man as late as last Sat-
urday at noon. Then Brother Lit
ties Lions were devoured alive, "a
to 0, by Pennsylvania, and the boys
are beginning to ask questions.
They want to know why, if Mr..
Little won the Rose Bowl in "a
with a team composed of noneni-
ties, he couldn't do the same thing
again this year The answer is this
Mr.. Little didn't have a poor
squad in "a He had a pretty fair
bunch of ball-players. This year
the alumni, believing Brother Lit
tie was a Wonder-worker, neglected
to supply him with any talent. And
Little, like Jones and Kipke and
all the other thousand and one
coaches in this country, can't get
to first base without somebody to
lug that ball, and somebody else to
knock down the enemy.

CONVICTION SETS
POINTER TOWARD
VALLEY HONORS

With the most successful out
look of any team in Imperial VAL
ley, the CaleXico Union high
school Bulldogs plan to open their
conference season Thursday night
on their own gridiron against
light Holtville Viking crew.
The Calexico American Legion
post announced its intention to
sponsor a public address system at
the border town football games
this season. This final step brings
the Calexico gridiron up to the
standards of other valley fields.
Good Record
For the first time in several
years CaleXico fans are feeling a
valley championship near. The
team has put its last three foes
away in short order and there
seems little doubt that Holtville
will go the same way when they
meet Thursday. Coach Ed Coving-
ton is working with his second
team of reserves which he plans to
use lot this year if his first team
is able to pile up large score over
an opponent in the early part of
the game. The reserves are nearly
all underclassmen who will be back
next season.
Thus far Halfback Joe Andrade
has lived up to all expectations.
However, he has had perfect block
ing on the part Of his team mates
who have paved wide highways on
the gridiron for him to carry the
ball.

MARSHALL IN

OF HIS TITLE

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 81. UP
Everett Marshall, 218, La Junta,
Colo, claimant to the heavyweight
wrestling title, last night retained
his claims when he threw Dude
Chick 100, Wyoming, in their main
event match.
The match lasted only one fall
as Chick was unable to continue
after being thrown with ar air
plane spin in 19:45. Chick ap-
peared awed by Marshalls title
claims and fell easy victim to the
Colorado wrestler's favorite hold.

GRAPPLERS SET

AT ARENA HERE

KILLER" Shikuma, holder of the
Japanese Jiu-jitsu championship
belt. is in top-form and ready to
fill the head spot on the El Centre
arena card against frankie Peck
of San Francisco at $50 tonight,
Pete Buzukos, promoter, said to-
day.
The match promises TO be really
good, as BuZukoS is making
strong effort not to lose patronage.
The star bout will be two out of
three falls to a finish and it looks
like the boys are planning strain
and groan with their hearts in it.
The 205-pound Nipponese grap-
pier took Man Mountain Dean
through a knothole in Honolulu and
doesn't look precisely like set
up. During his short time in the
United States he has won all his
matches by decisive margins.
Peck. however, promises real
competition with a creditable string
of victories behind him and the
lust for more bodies beneath his
feet by which he can climb the
ladder toward the wrestling crown.
"Toots" Estes, formerly quite a
name in amateur strain whining,
and no slouch since he turned pro-
fessional. meets Nanjo Singh, the
Hindu murder man, who sports a
cute eastern trick which he calls
the Cobra deadlock, in the second
place bout. The boys will struggle
for two out of three falls with a
one hour time limit.
In the opener Red Lyons, 190-
pound Texan will go round and
round with Fred Moracci, 1876
pounds, for one fall with 30-min-

NEW YORK, Oct %. U.P)-As
regularly as the football seasons
roll around, there is offered a new
batch OF evidence that the fancy
sounding talk of miracle" coaches
may be filed away along with the
chatter OF the gentlemen who have
discovered perpetual motion and
means of bridging the Atlantic.
When you talk of this coach or
that coach being a miracle worker,
a Merlin who can make something
out of nothing, you are just bab-
bling conversational horsefeatherS
for the pleasure of listening to
your own mezzo-contralto, basSo
profundo, or cOloratura soprano
The material makes the coach, and
it can unnake him even faster
than it can make him. You don't
have to take my word for it, either;
all you've got to do is to take a
look around the country at the for
mer miracle coaches who are
rocking on their heels.
Jones Heads List
Brother Howard Jones of the
use is a sterling example. -Four
or five years ago when use was
running rough-shod over all oppos-
ition, it was pretty generally agreed
that Brother Jones was so smart,
and knew so much football, that
he could take a squad of Singer
Midgets and put EN- in the Rose
Bowl. While Brother Jones never
admitted to any such greatness, 1
never heard of his denying it.
Then something happened to his
material. Those big backs who
could run and pass and kick, and
those towering linemen who were
not only bigger but faster than 3
truck, started going somewhere
else. And use started losing. It
hasn't stopped yet, although Broth
er Jones probably is even smarter
than he was then.

Listen, World = = By Elsie Robinson

Yet bearing it all willingly, if
only her baby may sing!
There's the other side of women!
There's the side that makes
women forever fine!
How little even the best man
knows of that side. He sees, in
the girl, the giggling playmate;
in the woman, the contented tabby
cat.
He believes that women want
the simplicity and security of the
home life; does not dream that
her spirit is as restless as his, as
hungry for expression and adven-
ture.
Least Of all does he suspect
that the woman never entirely
loses herself in her motherhood
that there is a lonely, rebellious
part Of her which wants to sing
its own free song.
But the woman knows. The
woman knows what it costs to be
wife and mother-how rich life
might be without such ties. Yet,
knowing, she gives up her chance
for the sake of her child.
MAYBE my baby will Sing!"
Maybe, if she be brave enough,

Journeys
IRELAND

It is pleasing to learn that Ire.
land has been enjoying her full
share of the record touring trade
to Europe this summer. OF
course, those of Irish ancestry
always want to make the journey
to that little village from whence
their people came, but this year
there have been many visitors
whose reason for coming was only
because they wanted to see the
beauties of the lovely island whose
history is as grand as her scenery
is beautiful. And we feel sure
that not one visitor was disap.
pointed.
Even if one doesn't ordinarily
care for antiquities, those of Ire
land are usually found to be ex-
tremely interesting. There are
the dolmenS, or cromlechS, huge
stones set upright with even larger
slabs laid across table-wiSe. These
are scattered all over the country,
SurvivalS of a pagan cult.
Cairns, huge piles of stones that
mark tombS, are quite common,
but the most interesting are cairns
piled up over a funeral chamber
constructed of huge stones.
The most remarkable examples
of early Irish building are the
Round Towers, of which over 100
remain in Ireland, though
scarcely one elsewhere. Tall, cir
cular columns, rising to 80 feet
high and only some Is feet in
diameter, they were used as bel
fries, as lookout posts, but
chiefly as places of refuge. The
lowest opening was high above
the ground. reached by ladder
that could be drawn up. Inside
was wooden framework of four
