Farrell. United Press ? Sports Editor) , f t New York, Sept. 22, —Washington c baseball fans are offering the name of Roger Pockinpaugh, the veteran 1 shortstop of tho chazupion Senators, ■ ]as a candidate for election as the most valuable player in the American * League. , Feck, one of the most brilliant 1 players in baseball and one of the f, ' grandest characters in the game, is e 'a worthy candidate for the considera- 1 tion of the committee of baseball s players that will decide the winner t of the prize. t I The veteran shortstop, who was I T cast off by the New York Yankees, made the Washington ball club the g championship team that it was last g year and the championship team it promises to be this year. Critics agree that it was the Peck- v

Harris combination in tho middle of the infield that did as much as anyth,ng else to win the pennant, and the real worth of Peck's services was not fully realized until he was injured during the world’s series and was on the bench in several games this reason. He has every attribute of a valuable player. He has skill and spirit. He is a hard worker and a thorough ■am player. It will bo recalled that Babe Ruth, when he was giving reasons for his assertion that Mfller Huggins didn’t, enow how to manage the New York Yankees, charged that Huggins got r d of Peck because he feared that ‘he veteran shortstop would steal his jobi But the Babe said later that he was hot headed when he said it. If Eddie Collins had not made such a sensational success this season as the manager of the CJylcago White Sox. Pock probably would get tne unanimous vote of the committee as the most valuable player. In the three years that the honor has been awarded, Collins has consistently received a large number of votes. George Sister, Babe Ruth and Walter Johnson are not eligible for consideration as they already have won tho nonor and Collins Is now the mtstanding candidate. The ability of Collins as an indiidual star was established years ago ind he is playing just as well now as he ever did, but his real value to the team was not shown until this season. There can be no doubt that Eddie Collins made a first division team out of a club that had failed to get my place under other management. He perhaps has done mure by his jwji efforts for the White Sox than Peck has dona for the Senators. o ALEXANDRIA -The glove season must‘’be just around the corner. The glove corporation here has inaugurated a night shift, from 5 to I) p. m. Alexandria women have been offered the opportunity of earning extra money in the factory at night. , . .

’Famous Ball Player Was Courageous Tomato Grower It may bo news to many farm boys who are club members to know that the now famous Tom Zachary, one of the star tv. triers for the 1924 world champions was a club member himself back in 1914. At any rate, it will be interesting to read the report he made of his work at tho close of his career as a tomato-club member. The report was resurrected from the club reader’s files at a recent reunion of the clu|> members in Alamance county, N. C„ where Tom was u member. Possibly it was the easy English in this report which led him later to try his ability at putting tne ’’Engliah" on the ball. Here is his report just as he wrote it: "On June the 23rd. 1914, in the year ot Our Lord A. D„ I. wishing to break the record of tomato raising, took an old Imperial plow wdth a black mule

and a bay marc, booked to it, went out itno tho middle of a twelve acre wheat atubblo field which in Ute former days was what wo called "a wet place’ but from the effect of a long drought was very dry and hard at that time but with the courage o( a lion, aa it took a follow with that kind of courage to plow such hat'd soil, I went to work and In it short time, although it seemed a week, I had finished the plowing and then I mounted » harrow with somewhat renewed energy ns I always did like to ride, and after harrowing it until the clods were almoat invisible and I, being somewhat sore over such rough riding, took a big Dixie plow and run out the rows, put a two horse load of manure and one-half sack ot guano in the rows, and ridged it up and teh following day set them out which was very straining on my spine. "About ten days from the time 1 set them out, I gave them their first working which was composed of a plowing

and a hoeing. It seemed as though God Almighty was working against me and showing it by continuing the drouth but I was determined that I wou/d not give up tho task, so I continued plowing and hoeing them until the fifteenth of August and then I "laid them by" and left them for nature to do the rest which it did. making a beautiul yield or at least I thought so, when 1 loft them September the sixth in the hands of my most beloved sister Bertha to complete the task which 1 had started." This hat'd task which Tom Zachary tackled with the “courage of a lion" no doubt served to strengthen that youthfu characteristic in him which he has had occasion to call upon many times since. — p GOSPORT—Fifteen Civil War vet erans answered the call of the fortyfirst annual reunion, 59th regiment, Indiana Volunteer Infantry, here.
