Nov. 2. — (U.R) —For , the third time in his career James Emory Foxx, cherubic first base- ! man of the Boston Red Sox, has i been named the most valuable play-1 er in the American league, it was I announced today by the baseball writers' association of America. As a climax to one of the greatest comebacks of the 1938 season Foxx was picked by 19 out of 24 writers—three from each city—for the most valuable player award, an honor he won in 1932 and 1933 when he was with the Philadelphia I Athletics. Out of a possible 336 points. Foxx received 304. Os the ; five writers who did not put him first, two rated him second, one : third, one fourth and one fifth. Because of illness in 1937 Foxx : had one of the poorest seasons of j his career and his batting average • shrunk 53 points to .285, the low-; est figure he ever hit. Hustling I like a rookie and even at times | ignoring the pain of recurrent sinus . trouble, Foxx regained his former . glory by leading the American lea-‘ Tonight & Thursday Always a Big Special! “SOULS AT SEA” Gary Cooper, George Raft, j Frances Dee.

An equine Emily Post could not have behaved better in the paddock than the two rivals . . .

They continued to yell until shortly after the backstretch was reached when the Admiral's followers greeted the burst of speed that brought him level with Seabiscuit. From mid-way in the backstretch the two horses might have been one. so closely did they hang together ... It was in this tremendous drive of nearly half a mile that each tried to break the heart of the other . . .
