THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 15.1945. Phil Cavarretta Most Valuable in National League PLftCESIN POLL 2nd Recipient of Landis Plaque; Lead Season, Series in Hitting. New Cavarretta of the Chicago Cubs, who hit an unofficial .355 during the past season and when whaled the tall for a .423 mark in the world series against Detroit, has been voted the National league's most valuable player for 1945 by an overwhelming n'ar- gtn. The 28-year-old first baseman received 15 first place votes, seven seconds and one fifth out of 24 ballots cast by a committee representing the Baseball Writers' association.

He will be the second recipient of the Kenesaw Mountain Landis memorial plakue, which first awarded last year to Marty Marion, St. Louis Cardinals shortstop. Far in Front Cavarretta's total of 279 points out of a possible 336 placed him far in front of Tommy Holmes of the Boston Braves, who ran second with 175. The two battled for the National league batting championship most of the season, with Cavarretta winning out in the stretch. Charley (Red) Barrett, St.

Louis pitcher who won 23 games, placed third with 151 points, and Andy Pafko, Cubs centerfielder, was fourth with 131. George "Whitey" Kurowskl of the Cards ran fifth 90 points. Although Holmes led the Na tional league with 28 home runs and was the circuit's only batter to collect more than 200 hits, he was voted most valuable by only three writers as against the 15 who favored Cavarretta. The Cubs' star made a great impression not only by his hustle and fine all-around play during the regular season, but also by his spectacular fielding and steady hitting in the world series. Simmons and Wagner In 132 games--he was out with a shoulder injury for a couple of weeks toward the last--Cavarretta banged 177 hits, including 33 doubles, 10 triples and six home runs.

The only other players who led their league in batting for the regular season and then topped all world series hitters were Al Simmons and Honus Wagner. Four writers chose Cavarretta's teammate, Pafko, for top honors, and one picked Hank Borowy, losing cubs pitcher in the final game of the world series. Marty Marion, the defending champ, did not receive a single vote for first. Following are the point scores for the high 10, based on 14 points for first, nine for second, eight for third, and on down to one for tenth place. (First place votes are in Cavarretta, Cubs (15) 279 Holmes, Braves (3) 175 Barrett, Cards (1) 151 Pafko, Cubs (4) 131 Kurowski, Cards 91 Borowy, Cubs (1) ...84 Wyse, -Cubs 72 Marion, Cards 69 Walker, Dodgers 66 Rosen, Dodgers 56 Other players who received more than 10 votes in the polling follow: Hack, Cubs, 42; Brecheen, Cards 31; Ott, Giants 22; Galan, Dodgers 18; Hopp, Cards 17; Elliott, Pirates 15; Olmo, Dodgers 13; Adams, Cards 12.

East Lansinsr, by defending cttampion Drake university, 16 universities are expected to enter teams in the seventh annual National Collegiate Athletic association cross country run November 24 on the Michigan State college four-mile course, was announced today by Athletic Director Ralph H.

Young. Drake has field 10 of the 93 entries already signed up for the meet with Fred Feiler, last year's individual champion, topping the entry list. Oddly, one of Feiler's team-mates in last year's meet is slated to run this season for Purdue. He is Art Hawk, who leads the Boilermaker nine-man squad. Entries have also been received from Miami (Ohio), Ohio State, Mionigan State, Wisconsin, Iowa State, University of Chicago, Indiana, Notre Dame, University of Connecticut and Wayne university.

UP--Navy Football Coach Oscar E. Hagberg disclosed yesterday that Quarterback Bob Hoernschemeyer will not play against Wisconsin Saturday and may not see action in the Army- Navy game because of a "chronic weak shoulder." Hagberg said that Hoernschemeyer, who has carried the ball 25 times on rushing, gaining 56 yards, and tossed 27 passes for 381, was suffering a defect similar to that of a "dead" pitcher's arm.

In the Notre Dame game, the popular Cincinnati-born quarter- rack had suffered a severe bruised upper arm and hip and Hagberg said, "it was felt that a week's rest for both arms might bring his. right arm back." But, the coach continued, "Tuesday he practiced hard for the first time since the Notre Dame game and it was immediately apparent the arm was still not back to snuff." "It is problematic as to whether he will snap back by the Army game." Meanwhile, Haeberg said he intended to.use Quarterback Position Bruce Smith. The coach said Smith "is always a fine triple threat back for Navy who has filled in admirably in Hunch y's absence and sparked the team." Hoernschemeyer, formally Robert is a 19-year-old in his first year at the academy. He once led the Big Ten in passing at Indiana. Plan for Grid Playoff.

GEORGE ZORICH IN BEARS WHO'S WHO Former Wakefield Gridder Described in Directory.

The 1945 directory of the Chicago Bears, just received by The Daily Globe, has the following to say about George Zorich. former Wakefield high school football star, who has been holding down guard position on the professional eleven during the current season: "Wakefield, was where George was christened after his entrance into the world November 24, 1915, and Wakefield is still his home address. He went to Northwestern and emerged with a B.S. degree and three football letters. His idea is to get into automotive engineering and he gets it (the idea) after a good steak dinner.

George weighs a mere 219 and measures 6 feet, 2 1-2 inches. He will go hunting and fishing anytime." Another Upper Peninsula pro gridder with the Bears is Gene Ronzani. The directory has this to say about him: "Came to the Bears from Marquette university in 1932 and played halfback and quarter for six years. He then was made player- manager of the Newark (N.J.) Bears, the. farm club of the Chicago Bears.

He -returned to the club last year. Gene was born March, 28, 1909, in Iron Mountain, Mich. At the university he won nine letters, three each for football, basketball and track. He weighs 190 pounds and stands 5 feet, 10 inches." Lawrence Schedule Told. Appleton, Wis.

Frank Leahy will be back at South Bend Devore would like to con- inue as a head coach; Swede Hag- erg is slated for sea duty and there las been plenty of semi-official that Navy would like to fol- ow Army's example and get away from graduate coaching. Add 'em up and who do you get? You can discount the stories that Devore might go to Syracuse or Fordham Ossie Solera is on lis way out at Syracuse, but the soundest story from there seems to that the college more likely will take somebody who has been a good assistant coach and try to build him up along with the team All signs at Fordham indicate that big-time football won't come back soon, if at all. SUGGESTION BOX As the All-America eleven just name Army's Blanchard and Davis and pick the other nine to play a baseball game To make it closer, Army should play six-man football against the opponents' eleven" Latimer, Greenville, S. News.) SPOKTS BEFORE YOUR EYES Fifteen of the highest-priced yearlings of the 1945 horse sales- topped by a bull dog colt purchased for $38,000 by Circle ranch--will winter at Hialeah race course. Wonder if their owners can afford to winter at Miami, too? Sam Cordovano has 35 football players including another old Columbia guy, Paul Governali, under contract to play for his Buffalo All American Conference club next fall.

University of Illinois football team, winner of only one out of four conference games, may have a lot to say Saturday about Ohio State's chance of remaining in the title race. The Buckeyes, with a 4-1-0 Big Ten record, are in second place behind league-leading Indiana, 4-0-1. The Illini, however, have had a strong defensive record all season and Coach Ray Eliot's team will be after its first victory over Ohio State in 11 years.

Illinois last defeated the Bucks 14-13 in 1934. Illinois has held Notre Dame and Indiana to one touchdown and held Michigan scoreless for three periods before tiring. Last- week, the offense rolled over Iowa 48-7, with Eliot's freshman halfback speedsters, Jack Pierce and Tommy Zab- orac, figuring largely in the scoring drives. Brisk Practices After yesterday's' workout, Eliot said he would start Joe Saban at fullback in place of Jerry Cies and Freshman Jim Valek at end in place of Bill Heiss. Meanwhile, Ohio State's squad went through a brisk practice in the cold with Coach Carroll Widdoes devoting attention to grooming his wingmen.

Six other cagers are working out with the club. Present plans call for a squad of 11 or 12 men this year, three over last year's regulars.

Ann Arbor, sity of Michigan's football squad, hampered by injuries and personnel changes in its preparation for its collision with Purdue here Saturday, now is bothered by something about which it can do nothing--it gets dark too fast.

It's not that a cloud of darkness suddenly clamps down on the Wolverine camp just as Fullback Jade Weisenburger is smacking junior varsity line on a spinner play, bub the fact that the days are getting shorter does cut several minutes from each day's practice. Where the darkness business really hits Head Coach H. O. (Fritz) Crisler's charges' hard is in passing practice, but the line is uaviiig its troubles too.

25tol.50pr. ALBERT'S Clothing Shoes 105-107 SUFFOLK ST. IRONWOOD Share Place With Black Hawks After Overwhelming Toronto 6-1. (By The Associated Press) The Montreal Canadians last night shattered any dreams the Toronto Maple Leafs may have held of climbing out of the National hockey league cellar at the expense of their traditional rivals. With a convincing display of power, Montrealers overwhelmed the Stanley cup champions, 6-1, before 13,404 fans in Toronto, moved into first place tie with the Chicago Black Hawks and looked for a victory tonight over the New York Rangers in Montreal as a possible stepping stone to sole possession of the top slot on which they held a virtual stranglehold through the last two seasons.

While the Canadiens meet the fifth-plac? Rangers, the Black Hawks invade Detroit to meet the seconl place Red Wings. The night's program holds the possibility of t. three-way tie if the Red Wings an'i the Rangers both win. The high-scoring Montreal line of Elmer Lnch, Hector (Toe) Blake and Maurice Richard played a stellar role in the victory over the lowly Leafs. Twice they bioke loose from close Toronto checking to score.

Blake was the marksman both times, bringing his total goals for the season to nine in seven games. Playmaker Lach set up both goals with perfect passes. With Bob Davidson sticking to him like a shadow, Richard had few chances to score but he put up a scrappy display. Now More IN 1 tDiUiomVetm Blended Whiskey itX gran ipmiif GOODERHAM ft WORTS LTD..
