Kuenn Voted ;
'Soph' Award
Shortstop Awarded
Honor Over Gomez
By JOE REICHLER '
Associated Press Sports Writer
Harvey Kuenn, 1953 baseball
rookie of the year, Monday sained
the sophomore-of-the-year distinc
tion for 1934 in a poll of sports writ
ers and "sports casters through
out the nation. I
The spectacular 24-year-old short
stop of the Detroit Tigers won The
Associated Press award by defy
ing the sophomore jinx with a .306
batting mark that included 201
hits. Only one other major leagu
er. Nllie Fox of the Chicago White
Sox, made as many hits.
Kuenn was in front all the way,
attracting almost four times as
many votes as unner-up Ruben
Gomez, the New York Giants'
vouthful righthander. The former
athlete received 205 votes to Go
mez 55. The Puerto Rican pitcher.
therefore, must get the National
League sophomore vote.
Seventeen second year men re
ceived recognition. Ray Jablonski,
slugging third baseman recently
traded by the St. Louis Cardinals
to Cincinnati, was third with 30
votes. Strikeout star Bob Turley.
v another transferred athlete from
Baltimore to the New York Yank
eeswas fourth with 28 and Jimmy
Greenerass, Cincinnati outfielder.
was fifth, with 22.
Kuenn. one of the real natural
hitters f of the game, got off
a slow start but batted around the
.350 mark after the all-star game
break to finish above .300 for the
second straight year. He hit .308
in his rookie season.
The personable 6-2 athlete also
has developed into a good, fielder,
thanks to the tutorship, of the vet
eran Johnny Pesky, who unselfish
ly spent many hours with the
Youngster teachinc him how1 to
make the double play and many
other tricks of the trade.
Trabert Said
No. 1 Threat
SYDNEY (J Harry Hopman
tabbed Tony Trabert as the No
1 threat to Australia's hold on the
Davis Cup Monday after the chal
lenge round rivals whipped
through a brisk four-hour tennis
workout at White City Stadium.
i "While I stick by my prediction
that Australia will beat America
4-1 in the cup matches, I cannot
overlook the menace - this boy
poses," the slender, sandy-haired
Australian captain said.
"I have to acknowledge he is a
threat to win both his singles
matches and to play a very vital
role in the doubles. We consider
Trabert will be much tougher to
beat in the singles than Vic
Seixas although Seixas is playing
very well.
The Australian and American
teams worked on adjoining courts
separated by uuck green canvas
Monday while bammers in the
background added finishing touch
es to the grotesque wood and steel
structure which is being readied
for an all-time record tennis crowd
of 25,000. v !
The matches are scheduled for
Dec. 28-29. j
While Trabert was accenting his
return to form with an impressive
6-4, 6-4 practice victory over team
mate Seixas. Hopman must have
popped another furrow in his al
ready wrinkled brow as he stud
ied come-back attempts of his own
ace Lewis Haod.
Hailed as back in top form in all
the. morning papers, young Hoad
looked far from it as he absorbed
a two-set lacing from second string
team-mate George Worthington.
Volleying poorly, Hoad was beat
en. 6-2. 7-5.

Reason for Tilt
SAN FRANCISCO ( Ralph
Guglielmi cried real tears Mon
day. And he wasn't ashamed about
it.'. - V : ,
The Notre Dame All-America
quarterback asks no quarter and
gives none while he is matching
muscle and courage with the best
of them out on the 'gridiron.
But Monday he went with - 47
other gridiron greats to the Shrin
ers' Hospital For Crippled Chil
dren to see the kids for whose
benefit the East-West football clas
sic is played annually. ; .
Guglielmi, who will quarterback
the East in the next Jan. 1 game,
walked past beds, stopped to auto
graph toy footballs. Then he spot
ted little 3-year-old Eve.
He picked her up, kissed her
and gave her a bug.
With concern he consulted a doc
tor. What's' her future?
"Shell be better," the doctor
said, "but she'll never walk
again." j '
And that's when Ralph Gugliel
mi unashamedly let the t e a r s
trickle down his cheeks, -v
The scene was repeated many
times.. - .
UCLA's great lineman Sam Bo-
ghosian told a boy with bis left
leg in a cast.
"When I was 'a little boy I was
all tied up with polio. But I got
well and I know you wuL ;
Notre Dame back Joe Heap
went into conference with a 10-year-old
girl after which both "were
asked what they talked about.
"I've been telling her about
Notre Dame,' he said.
"And," said the little girl. "I've
been telling him how handsome
he is." s
! Yes, Guglielmi had plenty of
1
company when it came to crying.
While he took tearful leave of lit
tle Eve, Rice's Dick Moegle was
standing nearby. On hearing what
the doctor said. Meegle turned and
walked out of the room, unable
to speak.

three days. v i ;
The West, on the other hand, is
going at it hard and heavy, two
workouts a day until , Christmas,
one on Christmas, one on Sunday

at nearby University of Santa
Clara and learn how. ,
The 48 gridiron brilliants,, who
will clash Jan. 1 at Kezar Stadi

sic, began reporting at hotel head
quarters Sunday. First on the spot
were 1 Frank Bernardi. 185-pound
