Outstanding Boxer Bill
Wilson To Enter Service

Wilmington athletics will lose an
outstanding figure when big Bill
Wilson, popular young heavy
weight boxer, enters the armed
forces in the latter part of Febru-
airy. Wilson. regarded as one OF
the most promising fighters in the
South, is a native of Hickory but
has been employed at the Will

years. During this time the 205
pound slugger has won large fol
lowing with his sensational ring
record.
The likable pugilist came to
Wilmington in 1910 after his grad.

to work at the Shipyard. He has
not missed day of work there in
his two-year stay. except on a few
occasions when he was fighting

OFFICIAL STICK
CHAMP ANNOUNCED

DURHAM, Jan. 22.-P)- The
1913 batting champion OF organized
baseball is infielder George Kell
who smashed out 1896 average
as an infielder with the Lancaster
Red Roses of the Class B Inter-
state League.
After checking all final official
averages, minor league press
headquarters disclosed that Kell
had a 27-point margin on his closest
competitors, Hal Gruber of Bristol
in the Appalachian League and
Pen Visan of Batavia in the Pony
League, each of whom batted 1863
in Class D competition.
Kell has been promoted to the
Philadelphia Athletics for the 1914
season. He will be presented with
a full-sized sterling silver bat as
the 1913 winner of the tenth annual
Louisville Slugger Trophy.
Starting with the 1888 season, the
trophy has been offered each year
to the minor league player with
the highest batting average, pro-
vided he participated in at least Is
per cent of his teams games. In
asmuch as his figure topped the
leaders in the two majors as well
as the minors, Keu is the 1943
swat monarch.

the aggressive Wilson returned to
Wilmington to meet some of the
leading ringmen of this section.
He has gone undefeated since his
loss in the Golden Gloves affrays.
Some of his impressive victories
are a TKO win over the clever
Eddie Nader, two TKO's and a
KO over Jim Bowden and a KO
over Ching Johnson.
Wilson'S defeat of Nader was an
outstanding event in his career, as
the veteran Nader was at one
time rated the 5th. ranking heavy
weight in the world. Nader boast
ed wins over such ring notables as
Tony Galento and Arturo Godoy
and had stayed 7 rounds with
Champion Joe Louis. The three
victories that Wilson registered
over Bowden also added greatly to
his pugilism prestige, as the scrap
py Bowden ranks high among the
southern beak busters.
Wilson, who neither drinks nor
smokes, is considered by the fight
experts to have an excellent leath-
err singing future in store for him.
He plans to continue as much of
his fistic action as possible while
in the service.
The muscular youngster is still
employed at the Shipyard and
plans to have a few more bouts
before entering the service.

NEW YORK, Jan. 22-R-Wil
liam Malcolm Dickey, the gan
Cling Arkansan who has been
fixture as the New York Yankee
catcher for Is years, today was
selected as the player of the veal
by the New York chapter of the
Baseball Writer'S Association.
He will receive the award al
the annual dinner of the chapter
in New York's Hotel Commodore
on Sunday, Feb. 6.
Dickey, fourteenth recipient OF
the trophy which last year went
to Ted Williams of the Boston
Red Sox, is the first catcher to
make the grade.
Thirty-seven years old and a
father. Dickey will report to Man
ager Joe Mccarthy of the Yanks
in March for his seventeenth cam
paign with the Bronx Bombers.
During the long career he es-
tablished a major league mark
for catching 100 or more games
in 10 consecutive seasons and in
addition holds numerous field and
batting marks.
Although he played in only IS
games last season after being side
lined twice by injuries, he was
third in the American Leagues
batting roster with an average of
.351. His proves at the plate
has enabled him to establish such
marks as clouting three homers
in a single game, July rs, 1899
and bashing homers with the bases
loaded in consecutive games at
the expense of the Chicago White
Sox on Aug. 3 and 4, 1887.
Generally regarded as the best
of the modern day receivers,
Dickey is every bit as efficient
on the defense as on the often
sive.
He caught 125 games in 1881
without a passed ball, is co-holder
of the major league mark of max
ing three assists in an inning
and authored an unassisted double
play with the st. Louis Browns
the victims on June 8, 1941.
AS Yankee, his only major
league connection, he has played
in eight world series and has rep
resented the American League in
actual play in seven an-star
games. In addition, he has been
selected on the Sporting News
League team six times.
