LONNIE FREY BEST
 N.L. END SACKER

Cincinnati. Dec. Sl,-who Is the best second haseman in the National Leag0ee
 You don't have to look any farther than Cincinnati for an answer, for the Reds have the man in Lonny Frey, the quiet. efficient little fellow who goes about his work with such a lack of fuss that he had not received the recognition due him.
 Why is Frey nominated as the best second hasemane
 Because: I. He was the leading hitter among all of the National league second basemen last year. 2. He was tied with Mickey Witek of the Giants for the fewest number of errors. 1s. 3. He had the best average per game in participation in double plays.
 Those three reasons for placing Frey at the top came out of last seasons averages. and. if you want to go further into the situation, you'll find even more causes. One of them is that he is the fastest runner. and best base runner. among the second basemen. and another is that he is considered the best man at tagging runners since Bobby Wallace. That's going q long ways back for a comparison. but old timers say this is the fact. The ease with which Lonny slaps the ball on the runner and gets himself out of the way is amazing. He does it all in one motion
 Consistency of performances is one of the greatest things in the record of a ball player. During a good sea- son. a player can rise to the heights and 50 some heroic things only to flop the next season Any man who Is consistently good Is a great ball player.
 Frey,s record for consistency speaks for itself. During the past four years. he has committed only sl errors. and. strongly. the year. ls4l. he committed the greatest number of mixpiays. 3s. he led the league,s second basement in the fielding percentages. His iielding average that year WMs .Ss0s as against . poor year average of Dgs. You can weal appreciate hOw spec taculer Is elals four year average when yUn consider that the sop mark la 1es1 wAs -Ss0. and in l9s2 a record fielding year. it vas Sss. The combined leading average for these two seasons is not as high as Freys over a four year span.

plays, which yields the hiehes1 average per game Of any second sacker. It also is the highest toar year total.
 me more one studies the situation, the more convinced he becomes that Frey Is the best man at his posi- ton, and that being the case. is must be said that the Reds have the No. 1 second base combination. The new shortstop of the Reds. who will team up with Frey this comfrg year. is Eddie Miller. who set a new league fielding record for shortztopS in lss2. thus becoming the defensive leader for the third successive sea- son. Between them. Hiller and Fray committed only Si errors last year. which is exactly the number chaxSed to Martin Marion Of the Cardinals alone. Marion is quite Q shorfstnn and the fact that the combined error totals of Miller and Ezey eQualed Narion's Is a tribute to kAe kind of defense the Reds win have in the middle of the diamond next season.

(Reg. U. s. Pat, off.) BY JACK CUDDY

United Press stan Corresponacns)
 New York, Dec. Si-(UP) The trouble with history is that the significance of . inomentous event rarely is appreciated until years after it occurs. Hence we cannot ex- pect the athletic world to digest inc fnediately the importance of that resolution adopted yesterday by the National Collegiate Athletic Associ. atlon.
 But we can tell you now that it marked the recognition by oil branches of the U. 6. armed forces that team play In competitive sports Is far superior to massed muscle building in preparing young men for war.
 The NCAA never would have adopted it's resolution--an aggres- sive document suggesting Q path for the army and navy brass hats to pursue-had the association not been inspired to such action by qualified representatives of the various services.
 But the representatives of the armed forces made 1t quite clear to the NCAA officials that team sports were the best preparation for com- bat afloat, aloft or aground. They suggested that the NCAA ask the government to permit service stu dents at the colleges to participate In team athletics along with the regular students. We mean the pos- gible 300 colleges that Uncle Sam viii take over partially at least.
 Major John L. Griffith, cgar of the western conference and secre- tary-treasurer of the NCAA, agreed whole e-heartedly with the service representatives when he emphasized that Hitler. in preparing for the current war, had emphasized com petitive sports instead of the old Turnverein brand of massed muscle jerking.
 The NCAA resolution unquestion- ably will be approved by the war and navy departments. And that approval will mean that intercol. legiate football will be played on
