Joe DiMaggio Voted Outstanding Male Athlete of Current Year
TED WILLIAMS OF
RED SOX RANKED
SECOND IN VOTE
Joe Louis Scores Third
Craig Wood Finishes 4th
Footballers Lag Behind
By Orle Robertson
New York, Dec. 17 JP Tor
breaking all major league con
aecutive hitting records with
string of 36 straight games, Joe
DiMaggio was voted the out
standing male athlete of 1941
by a margin of more than 2 to 1
over his nearest rival.
The slugging New York Yan
kee outfielder, who batted .357,
piled up a total of 157 points as
42 of the 82 sport experts par
ticipating in the Associated
Press' annual poll placed him
first on their list. He was given
either second or third place on
20 other ballots.
, Ted Williams, who in hitting
.408 for the Boston Red Sox be
came the first major leaguer in
many years to surpass the .400
mark, ran second to DiMaggio.
Polling five first-place votes,
Williams received a total of 74
on the basis of three points for
first, two for second and one for
third.
Joe Louis, heavyweight box
ing champion, outscored Willi
ams In the number of first pla
ces, receiving 10, but wound up
third with 84 points for his un
precedented performance of suc
cessfully defending his title se
ven times during the year.
With Craig Wood, U. S. open
golf king, finishing fourth with
27 votes, football was complete
ly routed for the first time in
three years. Tommy Harmon of
Michigan won No. 1 honors last
year and Niles Klnnlck of Iowa
in 1939 but this year the grid
iron sport could do no better
than fifth with Don Hutson, the
Green Bay Packer's great end.
Golfer Bud Ward received five
points.
Five coaches, four of them
gridiron mentors, received con
sideration. They were Frank
Leahy of Notre Dame, Earl
Blaik of the army, Burt Shotton,
leader of the Columbus Red
birds of the American Baseball
Association, Paul Brown of Ohio
State and Bernle Blerman of
Minnesota's unbeaten Gopher.
