Batting Champ Gets
264 OF 336 Votes

NEW YORK - Jackie Robinson
of the Brooklyn Dodgers, the Ma
tional Leagues batting and base
stealing champion, Friday was NAM
ed the most valuable player in the
league for 1919, the first member of
his race ever to win the honor.
A committee of "a members of
the Baseball Writers Association of
America - three from each league
city gave the star second base
man 264 out of a possible 1886 points
more than runner-up Stan Musial,
the ST. Louis Cardinals brilliant
Outfielder who won the award last
year. Each writer voted for 10 play
ers in order of their value.
Robinson, one of the major factors
in the Dodgers drive to the Nation
al League pennant, received II first
place votes, five for second place,
three for third, three for fourth and
one for fifth, figuring in the ballot
of every one of the writer's.
For Robinson, 3O-year-old former
UCLA football star and an Army
captain in the service, the most
valuable player, award came as a
high point in one of the most high
ly publicized careers in baseball
history.
The first member of his race to
break into organized baseball during
the modern era, and certainly the
most celebrated Negro player of all
time, Robinson reached full major
league stardom in 1949, his third
big league season, by batting .342
and stealing SO bases.
His base-stealing mark was high
for the majors, while his batting
average was only one point below
that of the unofficial major league
champion, George Kell of the De-
troit Tigers.
One of the most fiery competitors
in the game, Robinson played in
every one of the Dodgers 1856 games
despite the fact that he was hamper

RATLERS WEAKEN

In the fourth and final period the
hapless Rattlers missed many
chances to score when their intend
ed pass receivers dropped passes
right in their hands. The Cats took
advantage of this and kept driving
and scored another touchdown, this
one coming on a 46 yard run
through the center of A and NJ
once impregnable forward wall.
Braden split the uprights. This end
ed the scoring for Southern. A and
NJ took to the air but could not
make a threat as the time ran out.
The game was a repeat of last
year when Southern dropped Fam
Gee from the ranks of the undefeat-
ed with a 1912 win.
This game will turn the tide on
the national ratings.
