FRANK FRISCH TODEHCNORED — Veteran St. Louis Star Honored By Sports Experts New York. Jan. 30.—(U.R) Baseball heroes change with the season and stars of yesteryear are quickly forgotten, bu t Frankie Frisch continues to carve out for himself an everlasting place atnoltg the immortals of the game. Frisch, approaching his 18th ' campaign In the National league, will receive his third great tribute Sunday when he is awarded a I plaque from the Basebail Writers' Association of America, New York chapter, for his long and meritorious service to baseball. He was i named the most valuable player in the National league in 1931 and managed the world's champion St. I Louis Cardinals in 1934.' No other individual ever has possessed those three honors. A player who in his boyhood worshipped Frisch from afar will receive the other award of the baseball scribes. He Is Hank Greenberg. Detroit Tigers' flrat base- . man, who will be presented with ( the "player of the year" plaque. £ Both honors will be conferred at the baseball writers' annual din- t tier. j Awards by the baseball writers ( long have been the most prized of , honors among athletes. Witli all ; his medals, tropm s and awards, j Babe Ruth has only one in the j living room of his Riverside Drive apartment —the plaque given him. by the scribes. Frisch and Greenberg are natives of New York, born and bred here, and are the first pair of big city { boys to receive the V/o awards When r risch was playing under the late John J. Me- ( Graw, Greenberg, then a noy. wor- , shipped the Fordham flash. j Through 17 stormy years Frisch ( has been one of the most aggres- ( sive players in the game. He is one of McGraw's last links with ( uaseball. He was discovered, tu- £ ored and developed by McGraw. For eight years he starred for the ] Giants and then, in the collossal blunder of his career, McGraw i traded him to the Cardinals for I Rogers Hornshy in December, 1926. That ministake eventually caused McGraw to step down as leader of the Giants. Frisch's departure robbed the Giants of fire and i color. But he carried his courag- ; aous leadership with him to St. f Louis and the rough and ready ■ play of the Cardinals under Frisch t won for them the nickname, "The f gas house gang.' 11 When Frisch was advised of the [ honor to be bestowed on him by I 'he baseball writers, he said: “I y

National Naismith Week ,

By EVERETT DEAN, Head Basketball Coach, Indiana University. Doctor Janies Naismith ot the University of Kansas invented the game of basketball at Springfield, Mass., in 1891. Basketball fans are well acquainted with the great advance the game has made since that time. Dr. Naismith is professor in physical education at the University of Kansas and will soon retire. The National Association of Basketball Coaches is sponsoring a National Naismith fund drive for the purpose of sending Dr. and Mrs. Naismith to the first Olympic basketball games in Germany this summer. It is probable that an annuity fund will be created in his behalf which will improve his financial situation, which is none too remunerative, ‘considering his great contribution to the athletic world. Bill Chandler, basketball coach at Marquett university is the national chairman of this committee. The other members of the committee are: Sam Barry, formerly oi

This committee has drawn up the following plan: Every university. colelge, junior college, normal school and high school in the United States Is requested to designate one home basketball game as a Naismith game. Naismith week has been set for Feb. 7-15. The . athletic authorities of each school • will pay to the natioanl committee one cent for each person attending this game. If every school will do Its part a sufficient fund will be raised to send the originator of the game to the Olympic games. Indiana university has selected the IndianaFranklin game to honor Naismith week. With almost every school in the country dedicating a game during that week to Dr. Naismith, tthere is no doubt that this will be a fitting tribute o a man who has contributed so much to the editcaional and athletic world.
