Ernie Banks Is National's Player Os Year NEW YORK (UP’) — Ernie Banks, perhaps the National League’s best snortstop sin ce Bonus Wagner, was an overwhelming choice today as the United Press International’s 1958 National League Player of the Year. The 27 - year -old Banks, who set a major league record for shortstops by hitting 47 homers and sparked the Chicago Cubs to tie for fifth place, was the choice of 22 of the 24 baseball writers who made up UPl’s special committee. Second baseman Bill Mazeroski of the Pittsburgh Pirates and pitcher Lew Burdette of the league champion Milwaukee Braves received one .vote each. The committee was Composed of three writers from each city in the league. Banks, a lithe. 180-pound Negro from Dallas, Tex., enjoyed the finest season of his career. His 47 homers broke a record which he previously had set in 1955, he drove in 129 runs and he batted .313. All this while playing his position flawlessly. Banks is such a good hitter that his defensive skill often is overlooked but he is rated among the best at his position in the long history of the league. In fact, some Cub teammates consider him as good a defensive shortstop as Marty Marion, the ex-St. Louis Cardinal great who is considered the “master shortstop” of the modern era. The geography of the moon is called selenography. Over 30,000 moon craters have been identified by astronomers.
