Oct. 20 (AP) Frank Frisch, captain and second baseman of the world champion St. Louis Cardinals, after rapping at the portals three times in rain has crashed baseball's hall of fame as the national league; "most valuable player" tor 1931 Announcement of Frisch s se lection by a committee of baseball writers, was made today by WII Ham J. Slocam " of New York president of the Baseball Writers association -of America. The asso ciation Is perpetuating the "most valuable player" Poll, which was officially dropped by the national league in 1929. Frisch emerged. the victor In a three-cornered battle of ballots with Chuck Klein, slugging out fielder of the Phillies, and Bill Terry, first baseman of the New York Giants. Out of a possible maximum of 80 points Frisch top ped the list with 65. Klein re ceired 56 and Terry 53. Elwood English of the Cubs, in fourth place, collected 30 points. Seven years ago, when the first official national league award was made, Frisch registered his first bid by finding third to Vance, who collected the winner's 11000. The former Fordham flash then was the keystone man of the New York Giants' Infield. After being traded to S Louis. Frisch was runner-up to Paul Waner In 1927.

Games Gratified at the improvements which have been made on Sweet land field this fall, including the new lighting system and the addi tional bleachers. President Carl G. Doney of Willamette university Is hopeful that still further Im provements will be made In the near future. He points out . that the university owns the property through which the mill stream flows and a sizeable strip on the other side., j ; ; He would like to see the stream diverted, there and the field en larged In that direction. As the field now stands it is amply large for football, but makes such a cramped baseball diamond that Willamette's . home games were played on Olinger field last spring Instead of on Sweetland field. The mill stream cuts off the right field and when balls are hit over the fence on that side, two bases are allowed the batter. The fielder In that; section might well be called a long second baseman instead of a right fielder. Fre quently hot drives reach the field er In front of the mill stream fence and h is close enough to first base to throw the runner out.

President Harry A. Williams announced today. 1 The eight teams played to 1, CS7,595 paid admissions during 1931, against 1,673,125 for the year j before, Williams'! figures showed. While this discloses! a de crease of 35,528, the schedule was two weeks shorter this season than last, and by actual ratio tho paid attendance was slighUy more than for 1930, when a 28 week schedule was in vogue, Williams said. The league president attributes the large attendance to night base ball and the ladles free policy ad opted by most of the clubs.

With Phillips, Eglstdis and Wright pack ing the ball most of the time, this "Warner" squad reversed, fake f- Kingsley is Changed Man . He Reveals; 6( By OLIVE M. DOAK All about was the silence of subdued and moody humanity,' a silence tense with alert watching; a silence broken now and then by the buzx of a bell responded to by the scratching of bolts slidinlg out of place and ' heavy doors swinging pn smooth hinges; a si lence separated from the rest of the world by gray walls and gray iron bars over high narrow , win dows through which poured bright afternoon sunshine .of ja late October day. And in this silence a man sat and discussed his life and vaguely hinted at the lives of over 700 other men whose presence was felt, hidden away in the tiny cells which make up the Oregon state prison, or busy at work in the various snops ana plants witnin the walls of the prison yard. -j ! This man was James Klngsley, "Jimmy" to all those who spoke to him. Dressed in a pair of dark-trousers, a white shirt open at the throat and sitting at ease as he talked, he appeared as" any average person might. No one looking on would have guessed that next week he is marked by the law of OregonTtohang by his neck until dead for having snuff ed out. the life of an officer who attempted to stop him as he was making his way through Ashland!, Oregon, one night this early spring. , ' He was "trying to get by" in Ashland when the officer got In his road. He started this game of getting by" in an orphanage in stitution at the tender age of six years following the death of his father, a saloon keeper. His moth er had died two years before. Was Orphaned Early In quick Jumps ; his history! might read: An. orphan at the; age of six years; out in the world earning his own living running; chores in a sawmill at the age of 12; served a term In a reforma tory and married before he was. 17; divorced, several J all terms,, married again, and doomed to j hang for taking the life of a man which will be Just a bit past hiir 25th birthday. - Were the institutions to blame for his first misstep? The an- swer was evasive, saia ne in part, "Some of the institutions were hard, and some were easy. In them I learned the trick of getting by and how to lie. I was taken out for. adoption twice but the knowledge of 1 living gained in the institutions did not make me desirable and- so, I was sent back. V ' ! .','.! ! - "If all the Institutions had been like Mother Riley's Home in Se attle things would have been dif ferent. She had a private or phanage and only tooka few chil dren. She was kindly, motherly, and understanding and-made an individual out of each child." ' And that is what Klngsley thinks should be done with erring humanity. Consider its individual uals and treat each' for his par ticular weakness and according to his own unique disposition. Klngsley for instance said he himself was of a sunny disposi tion, but that he hated' to have any one "oyer him." orders were odious; he thought he was a smart guy" and could manage himself. j "I never learned until the last year Just how far from smart I was. It has taken the experience Of the past year to teach me that neoole have to take orders, lire according to rules, and that taken in the right attitude of mind It's the only Intelligent way to live." Was he egotistical? His answer was a wry smue "i uougnc i was- Dretty smart." He also thought he could get by and did for several years,thls is his first experience in a penitentiary. I What develops this doctrine of "how to get by" which seems to be the creed by which crime lives? Klnrslev smlled. and sugsrested the idea that people under force or the "under flog would . do tempted to do anything to get a "little bit more of this, or a bit better place," or get away with something under the nose of some one watching, "to take the easiest way out which is not always the! best."- -: l- . " ' Training Essential How to avoid such an attitude! of mind? Kingsley's answer was quick: "Right training in the right sort Of a home. People unless complications arise danger Is passed. The action 'is coming back to some extent In the fingers of the injured hand. Getting reversed and passed its way to sev- en touchdowns against the regu lars and second 'string lineup. The wing back outfit kept the ball all the time as defense was the order of the day. ' ' ' ' - . It is possible that after working a few more days against this sys tem the Bearcats will be I able to stop it; otherwisei it may be "too bad" when a team well drilled In the wing back formation trots out against them Friday night and a couple of succeeding weekends. Several! of -Willamette's (players are temporarily "on the shelf with injuHe3 but most of them, Keene predicts, will be i in fair shape for ;the Idaho game Friday. However, it is probable that the starting lineup will be different in several particulars, notably end. tackle and one or two backf ield positions, from that which enter ed the fray against Columbia last week Futility of by" is Learned should be brought up to do tasks and do them cheerfully and not by force." L - - -,t : i Klngsley! made up his mind ear ly in life that practically no man could be trusted and from hl3 ex periences with marriage he came to the conclusion that no woman could be trusted. In fact he does not like women now still dis trusts them, although he express ed the conclusion . that the fault had not been with human nature, but rather with the type of hnman nature with which he had been thrown. j j , "I married right .'after coming out of a reformatory. I married the wrong kind of girl. If I had waited and learned morel about life, had met a different class of people, I would not have come to such trouble. , f " "Married! life is more serious than most people -think. It is a real matter of give and take," and Klngsley left the impression that he was not! willing in his earlier experiences! to "take." - Because he did not trust any one he "always did things. by my self, and then I was the only one who knew what happened. I like people but; I hare always -held them at arms' length." ! ' ! But life has been revolutionized for Klngsley according, to -his own story, for tqrough'lhe efforts of himself and the understanding of the penitentiary chaplain,, he has come to a religious peace of mlnd-j- which allows him to look ahead to October 30 land with a firm voice say, "Life ;has not been wasted, you see, for I have learned that there are two sides to every sit uation. Once there was only my side. I hare learned the foolish ness of a vanity which made me a "smart guy," I have learned to master myself, and my one inter est now is to Borne of these other fellows do the same thing. I have helped them, as many. let ters which I receive will prove, so my life is not wasted if I have helped a few others." It takes courage to look at the shadow of the gallows across the path and have the wisdom to real ize that the thing which brought the shadowj -near brought a few hours of successful, intelligent and well-balanced living. Klngsley If eels that If he could have become interested in some thing worthwhile when young and had been helped in a kindly man ner to pursue that ' Interest his story would be far different. He has always liked to study even though he frent only through the eighth grade, fl always have studied whire ever I have been: -Any one who knows me will tell you that. I studied what t was interested in. I studied chemis try once very hard for a reason. I wanted toi know, about counter feiting I learned how." ,' Kindliness First ! 'Kindliness is the one big thing necessary inl this world and when asked if honesty were not the other Klngsley said. "How. can one! be kind! and not be honest?" And then, '("If your definition of kindness does not include honesty then yours is very different from mine." . Klngsley feels that in order, to make the many men in the peni tentiary knew that he is sincere In his new life and faith, he must "take his jsentencV with' '.his head up. ! ! ". . "I was a big shot and the men here all know about me as well as many outside.
