Once again it is my privilege, and likewise a pleasure, to offer to the followers of baseball my all-America team. In presenting it I want to say this 1930 teams strikes me as one of the most powerful I have named since I began to make these annual selections nine years ago. Many times during the season players ask me about this mythical team or mention some particular player as entitled to a place on it. Fans write me about it and leading newspapers are very flattering in playing up my choices. My team this year l|as six American League players and four from the National. Some may think this indicates prejudice because I am an American League player. I can only say that I forget about league in making these choices.

Last year I named six Nation l’ Leaguers and four from the. American In the two previous years my teams had five players from each league. Helped by Committee Following the plan of other years I have been, helped by a committee of ten writers representing the ten cities of the two major leagues. They have helped us a lot in estimating the talent of players, particularly in the National Leeague. I have made a consensus of their opinion and I find only one difference in the team which I have picked. These ten writers agreed on only one player. That was Lefty Grove as one of the two pitchers. There is quite a change in this year's team, whenyou compare it with the 1929 players. One pitcher, one catcher and two outfielders survive, but the infield which I have chosen is entirely new. Wilson. Simmons Second Hack Wilson and A1 Simmons ♦were next to Grove in being chosen bv a number of wTiters. Both were named by nine of the ten. Cochrane and Terry gnt eight apiece. The vote for positions and players follows: PITCHERS CATCHER Ccbraue * *2 Upt 1 Ferrell J Hartnett 1 {SSL':::::::::: s first base Terry • • * RIGHT FIELD Gehrig ••• - Klein J ECOND BASE , Cuvier £ Gehringer ’ Herman - Frisch - Oft 1 • Grantham . l CENTER FIELD f THIRD BASE . Ltndstrom ■ Wilson Traynor 1 Simmons ■ 1 Lazzeri J McManus 1 LEFT FIELD SHORTSTOP Simmons * Jackson 5 Renter I Cronin .... a Ruth 1 Wright 2 Now a word about, the one position in which I have differed with the committee of. writers. Their choice for shortstop was Travis Jackson of the Giants. I picked Joe Cronin of Washington I have a high regard for Jackson as a shrortstop, and he was my first choice last year. This year. Cronin has come along as the most improved player in our league, and getting tietter all the time He is a dandy hitter, does everything well and is full of pep and hustle all the time.

Cronin Spark Plug Cronin has been in every game played by the Washington club, and he has been the spark plug of the team which came up from the second division to be pennant contender. Injuries have kept. Jackson out. of forty gam?*s, and they must have affected his play. I still T?te Jackson as one of the stars of the game. but. I think Cronin’s all around work day after day gives him the honors this year. Now for something about the payers by position: FIRST BAST A tough one. Here was Bill Terrr. a hriUiant fielder end hitting: *ive 400 a srest pert of the veer. The biggest individual factor in making the Giants a pennant contender so long. Oyer here lou Gehrig, a harder hitter for distance than Terrv and a great- defensive player as wall, though not. Quit- Terrv s -aual in the field. Gehrig is having one of his ereat ' *rsdriving In a flock of runs and hating a good chance to win the batting championahlp of hi*, league, lust as Ter. has. It was hard to make a decision, but 1 flnallv named Terrv. becaus- of his .400 batting and his edge in defensive plsv. SECOND RASE For the first time since I started to pick j all-America teams. Rogers Homsbv did not figure in tn* ehoice of a seocnd baseman Homsbv was mv choice for seven of the eight, teams picked up to this v ear Now I welcome a newcomer. Charlie Gehringer. who Is one of the brightest stars es the American League. He is the lightest hitter amc the players of this team, other then i *rs. but his batting average does not ene a real line on his worth. He is a real hitter, a great, groundcovering infield-' -<fh a fine arm. one of , the beat base n s in the game today. He can do evervtuin* well. Frank Frisch j still rates as a star at. this Dositlon and the choice rested between Frank and Gehringer. THIRD BASE Freddie Lindstrom and Pie Traynor have been battling it out for this position for the pest three vears and this time Lindrtrom gets the -4111. Just as he did tn 1938. Tremor was in front in 1927 and he came back last rear to win the choice again. This vear has been a bad one for Traynor. even though Pie has -batted welt lindstrom has excelled him in gener.-l plar Lazier! has done remarkably well s nee going *o third but It Is still a ne* j position for Tonv. SHORTSTOP I explained earlier whv I have chosen Joe Cronin over Travis Jackson for shortstop. Jackson has not eant as much tc the Giants as Cronin h-s meant to the Washington Nationals. Both cover a lot es ground and throw well, and then: hlt--1 rur has been about- even. Glenn Wright has made a remarkable comeback and has helped Brooklyn a lot. but he does not hit as well as Jackson and Cronin. BIGHT FIELD Here Is 4 choice that gave me a lot of trouble. Last year I picked Babe Herman and I had to give him a lot of consideration this vear. too. Kiki Cuvier Is another who had to be considered a lons time. Ha has batted well and nlaved a Strong game on defense I figure he is the '•-st of tb lot defensively. But Chocs Klein has Improved so much as a field-r and he naa been hitting so hard that I have given him the call. Sam Rice of the Senators las had a great vear with tb* stick but not as good as Klein. (CNTERFIELD Hack WUson at tho Cuba and Earl Averlll at Cle'eland have been the outstanding center fiieldere of the vear. and Hack gets the cal! because of his more Powerful hitting Both are great ground covers. Frederick es the Robins and Dou♦!tft of the Cardinals are others who rankhigh but not uo to Wilson for all around worth. Haas and Lloyd Waner figured to

be in the battle for this place. but Haas has not starred as he did last year and Waner was out, most of the season with illness. LEFT FIELD A! Simmons sets the award here with olentv to spare. Take A1 out of that. Philadelphia lineup for a spell and how different the A s would look. A great outfielder and one of the. best hitters the same ever knew. CATCHER Mickey Cochrane trot more competition this vear than iast. but he still stood out as the best catcher in the game. Hartnett was back in the game after a season’s layoff and his presence meant a. lot to the Cubs. His batting, receiving and throwing all spell class Lopes of Brooklyn has come along fast and Bill Dickey of the Yankees is an improved catcher, besides batting up around .375 most, of the year. But for catching ability plus speed, hustle, aggressiveness and pep the honor goes to Cochrane. PITCHERS Pitching choices usually cause a lot of argument. But I think most fans will agree with my choice, which was also the choice of the writers. Grove has been the same standout pitcher that, he was a year ago and Terrell had added another brilliant season to prove hat, his great, record last season was no flash. Here is the ideal pair, a great lefthander and a great right hander Ted Lyons of the White Sox w’ould be my third choice if I named three for the team, but I name only two each year. He has been a bright star with a losing ball team. Os the players named for the positions, Terry, Gehringer, Cronin, Klein and Ferrell are included for the first time. No doubt, many fans will differ with me in my selections. It would be possible to pick another great team and leave out all the players I have selected. But I rate this group as the best of the year. tCopyright. 1930. by The Christy Walsh Syndicate*

CHUCK KLEIN, former Indianapolis sandlot star, who set a National League homer mark last season, his first in the majors, only to see it raised by Hack Wilson this season, was selected for right field on Babe Ruth’s mythical all-America team, announced today in The Times. Klein, playing with the lowly Phillies, has been near the top in hitting, home runs, doubles, runs driven in and total hits in the senior loop this season.

Class Flan Is Offered State H. S. Committee Has Enrollment Arrangement Worked Out, A plan whereby members of the board of control and legislative body of the Indiana State High School Athletic Association will be elected as representatives of schools classified by enrollment was presented to principals of the state through a bulletin issued this week by A. L. Trester, commissioner of athletics. The committee on apportionment was made yp of Charles Zimmerman of Terre Haute, Floyd I. McMurray of Thorntown and. Harlie Garver of Union City. Garver and Zimmerman being legislative body members and McMurray a member of the board of control. The plan will be submitted to the next meeting of the legislative body. The management classifies schools having enrollments of 1 to 75 as class one; enrollments,of 75 to 250, as class two and enrollments of 350 as class three. The report states that the present system of dividing the state into districts would be left the same and election to the board of control from each class would proceed in turn. It carries a suggestion for the next three years and some of the present board members would hold over during 1931 and 1932. but in 1933 there would be a complete election by classes. The contention that the larger schools should have more legislative power long has been an issue in the I. H. S. A. A. inasmuch as the larger schools are in the minority.

Freeman Cops Welter Title From Thompson Arkansas Battler Takes Ten of Fifteen Rounds From California Negro and Is Declared Winner Despite Champ’s Knockdown in Second. Bv United Press CLEVELAND. 0.. Sept. 6.—Tommy Freeman of Hot Springs. Art. wore the diadem of the world’s welterweight championship today after outpointing Young Jack Thompson, California Negro, in a fifteen-round encounter at League park here Friday night. Taking the offensive at the outset. Freeman swept the champion off his feet with rushes, long and short range punching, that won for him all but five of the rounds. One of these was a draw and the remaining four went to the champion. The decision of Patsey Haley, veteran New York referee, carried with it the unequivocal approval of 15,000 fans.

Freeman displayed a gameness and anxiety to mix that confounded the Negro titleholder. The latter assumed the defensive in the first round but a long left, swing in the second that sent the challenger to the floor for the count of six. gave him an impetus to take the offensive that was only short-lived. That blow made Freeman cautious of his face guard and from there on out the decision was nowhere in doubt, Thompson’s punches, with few exceptions, falling on harmless territory. In the closing rounds, Thompson seemed on the verge of an impending knockout but rallied to avert certain defeat. Thompson, who had worn the welterweight crow r n since his triumph over Jackie Fields in Detroit last May. weighed in at 14314, and Freeman at 145%.
