His Fourth try
NEW YORK. 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.

MORE than one pretty girl
who is fond of University

roes must have exclaimed, when
noting this week's schedule: "Oh,
Doctor, what ! will we do?" The

Panthers, and the cause of alarm
can you blame the girls?-

Yep, Doctor "Jock" is herding
his heroes toward South Bend,
where, on Saturday, ' they'll test

tively small squad of first-class
reserves and, for that reason only,

A sand surface will be spread
over the enlre field, which Is to
over the entire field, which Is to

Three volley ball '-, courts will
be available for the women's use
also. All of these sports are in

sports being tennis and archery.
Diamond For
W. U. 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.
Last season ; Willamette's base
ball teana was as good a college
team as there! was In the north
west. Coatl! "Spec" Keene's Bear
cats won three straight games
from the University of Oregon and
one from Oregon State college. His
principal players will all be back
Induing Andy Peterson, the fa
mous speed ball pitcher , "
Indications, are that Willamette
will he even stronger next spring
in baseball and if the field were
eslarged, night games there might
attract large crowds.

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.

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

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.

positions, from that which enter

week
Futility of

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
