Without Medwiek’s tat the 'Cardinals v. ,uld be in the cotton' states league: Hubbells 19 victorj ies are the reason the Giants are | I pennant bound, and Fehringpr — well, he's been the best a’l-round j player in either league for a num-. ' ber of years. No one would holler much if any 1 I one of these fellows was tapped and | awarded the manicure set. book-1 lends, blc..ded mare. or.whatever it. ' is that most valuable player is givj en. Yet. my choice is not in that group. Not one of them. Here is my list | of e'igi'ilrs. Take a look at it and ' see if you think I'm on the right j itrack. Elon Hogett. St. Louis Br'.wns; 1 Gene Schott. Cincinnati; Hugh Mulcahy. Phillies: Guy Bush. Bees; Ed Smith. Athletics; Oral Hildebrand, Browus, and Pat Malone. Yankees. At first this may seem a strangx group, but an analysis makes it appear very logical. Take Ed Smith, who comes close i being my first choice. Ed. according to the latest figures, has pitched in 17 games this season, winning three and losing fourteen. He hasn't been very valuable to the Ath- ' letics. but no one can deny that he lias bbeen very, very valuable to the pther seven clubs in the League. And —this is my point— A man who is valuable to seven clubs is more deserving of a reward than a player who has been valuable to • just r.ne. Hogsett. with six games won and ' 17 los.t is pretty va'uable, too, as is Schott with two won and 13 lost; Mulcahy with six and 15; Bush with seven and 15. and Hildebrand with eight won an d!7 lost. Malone is going to ibe mightv . hard to pass by. The statistical I chart I have before me shAWs that i "Old Blubber," as he wasn't christened. has been to bat 32 time* thie season and banged out exactly one —-Yes, one —hit. Unless my arithmetic is much more faulty t’nan it ; once was, that gives Patrick the blazing average of .031. Now think how valuable he has been to all the pitchers in the league. When he ; came to the plate they could relax all over. Anyone wh". could give Joe Di Maggio the call over Pat, when value was concerned, would be lacking in logic. Di Maggio has been a

' he’p to the Yankees, and the Yan- ■ kees alone. Pat has been a godsend to detroit, Boston. Cleveland, Chicago. Philadelphia, St. L .uis, and i Washington. | o TAKE MOVE TO OPERATE CLUB Local Golfers Seek To Retain Golf Course, Country Club At a meeting held Tuesday night at the Decatur country chib, a representative of Paul Schulte, owner of the club, stated that Mr. Schulte is willing to co'»>erate with citizens of Decatur who enjoyed playing golf and who feel that the city, from a civic standpoint, should have an up to date country club. Golfers of Decatur and vicinity know that the local course is one of the best layouts in any city of this size in the state, with natural, rolling fairways, woods, water hazards ana a fine club house, and just out- ; side the city limits. Local golfers realize that the course has not been maintained properly the i,oact three years, and in '.rder to have a first class course, bent greens must be constructed. Mr. Schulte's representative i assured the golfers present at last right'e meeting that bent greens would be installed if tiie right interest and cooperation are shown by golfers of Decatur and vicinity. The owner's representative also state dthat if insufficient interest is shown by golfers, the course will be plowed up and farmed., A committee of IscaT citizens will be appointed to work out a program meet with Mr. Schulte and make arrangements to maintain the golf course and country club if at ali possible. The date of the next meeting will be announced at an early date. o Roll of Veterans Berkeley. Cal. — (U.R) —Alameda county stfll counts 18 veterans of the Civil War.

IRISH FISHTING HARO SCHEDULE Notre Dame Has 84 Candidates Trying For Football Squad South Bend, Ind.. Sept. 15.—<U.R) ' — Despite a "suicide’’ schedule which carries the Ramblers against nine of the toughest opponents in the nation this fall one look at the manpower drilling on the Notre Dame practice field indicates the ; /Fighting Irish'' footbal team is on ’ the threshhold of a banner season. 1 Eighty-four endidates —a tine I turnout even for this football citadel where gridiron strength often is measured in quantity rather than i quality — answered Soach Elmer i laiyden's invitation to the first practice last week. Within this number was at least i one le’terman for every position on the Notre Dame eleven, a factor that -has given a rosy tinge to * Irish grid prospects. Last year I center and quarterback were blank, as far as monogram men were conI cerned, and other positions were, badly in need of bolstering. In view of the schedule, however, Coach Layden is not too optimistic. He admits only that "prospects compare favorably" with those at this time last season, when Notre Dame won six. lost two and tied one game. . i '» And that schedule is worthy of ’ those famed national championship ' elevens which the late Knute Rockne turned out. Opening against Drake, the nation's second highest scorer last year, on Oct. 2. the Irish meet Navy, Minnesota. Pittsburgh, Army. Northwestern. Illinois. Carnegie Tech and Southern California. Layden realizes that one letterman to a position will be far from enough this schedule and that capable reserves must be developed quickly. It promises to be a trying campaign for the Irish ; “shock troop" system. The loss of eight regulars, and < two who alternated with regulars, robs the squad of valuable experience. The situation by positions shows that the Irish should have a strong defensive line which may develop on offense, and reserve talent at some spots in the forward wall but—a shortage of backfield talent. Bob Wilke, all-western halfback, was graduated. Others missing include Vic Wojcinovski. varsity back last fall, and Larry Danboom and Steve Miller who alternated to give the Irish attack strength at the fullback position. Andy Pupils and Chuck O’Riley, senior quarterbacks, are available this season, as well as Jack McCarthy, left halfback; evin (Bunny i McCormick. Jake HoValcik. and Joe Gleason, righ halfbacks, and Ed Simonich. junior fullback. These will form the nucleus of Layden's backfield. In the line Notre Dame will miss such stalwarts as Joe O’Neill, punter and star, pass receiver; Bill Steinkemper, all-western tackle; John Lautar, all-American guard, and Fred Mundee, varsity center last season. On hand for the forward wall are: Capt. Joe Zwers, Chuck Sweeney and Johnny Murphy, all ends and lettermen: Ed Beiner, Denny Emanuel, Paul Kelly and Al Shellogg. tackles; Joe McMahom. Jim Martin, Joe Ruetz. Joe

EXTEND SEASON ON PHEASANTS Hoosier Hunters To Be Givrn Four-Day Open Season On Birds Indianapolis. Sept. 15. — A fourday open season on cock pbeasantsfor Hoosier spurtstnen this year—beginning Wednesday. Nov. 10 and ending on Saturday. Nov. 13 was announced today by Virgil M. Simmons. commissioner of the department of conservation. The official proclamation establishing the open season also provides for a daily bag limit of two birds and a possession limit of four birds. Establishment of a four rather than a three-day open season such as was enjoyed by Hoosiers last fall, was based on reports of a substantial increse in the number of pheasants throughout most parts •of the state. The three-day season in 1936 was the first that Indiana sportsmen had enjoyed as pheasants had been protected game birds in preceding years. Decision to extend the open season this year by one day was reached after a study of reports from game wardens and conservationists on the number of pleasants in the various areas and a desire to give every sportsman a chance at these birds. The pheasant season opens on the same day that the quail and rabbit seasons begin. With Armistice Day (Nov. 11) a holiday and the extension of the season including Saturday. Nov. 13, most hunters will have at least two opportunities to try their luck. I-ast year a request was made that pheasant hunters report on
