PAGE TWO ' MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, 5 BIG-LEAGUERS REVEALED 10 BE VISITINGTROOPS Frisch, Muslal, Lltwhiler, ' Walker, Borowy to Enter- tain Alaska Soldiers. By Doug Blllmayer United Press Correspondent Seattle, Dec. . U. The visit of five majo.- league base ball itin her early last week remained a military secret until announcement laat nlht that the group had arrived at Anchorage. Alaska, on the first leg of two or three months' tour to enter tain troops outside the conti nental United States. Sports writers here were per mitted to Interview the players, but were asked to keep the secret until the group arrived in Alaska. The five-man I). S. O. baseball unit, the first group of major leaguers to visit one of the war fronts, was headed by Frank ie rrisch, manager of the Pitts burgh Pirates, and the boyhood luol of many of the men now overseas. Others were Stan Muslal, the National league batting star, and JDanny Lltwhiler, both of Hie St. Louis Cards, Hank Borowy, New York Yankee pitcher, and Fred (Dixie) Walker, Brooklyn out fielder. Although the anew will be piled hlRh outside many a hut at distant Aleutian bases where the base bailers will entertain ser vice men, army officers said the unit would Join soldier teams for exhibition contests wherever pos sible. To Show Film And even where conditions won't permit outdoor competi tion, one main attraction for the troops will be the world series films which will be exhibited by the quintet throughout the tour. One army officer. Jut "out side" from a far Alaskan base, visited with the unit here and aid: "The kids up there will be crazy over them." Nor will the entertainment be all one-sided. Alaska? troops will 'have a chance to return the fa vor, for all of the group and -particularly Dixie Walker were excited about the prospect of hunting and fishing in Alaska with the soldiers as guides. Borowy, the lone representa tive of the American league, told ports writers: "1 guess they fig ured one American leaguer could hold his own against any four National leaguers." He said be guessed he could find any num ber of partisan American league fans among the troop: up north to help take his part during the Informal gab sessions which will follow the showings of the series turns, Poll Is Expected To Name Count Fleet Horse Of Year By Jack Cuddy United Press Sta ff Correspondent New York, Dec. 6 OJ.PJ A battery of tabulations at Balti more begins counting votes today in the Turf and Sport Dmut's poll for the best race horses of 1943. Announcement of the Ju venile and handicap winners prrobably will be made late th month. For once tabulators will find , little competition for the three year-old crown and for the rov eted "horse of the year" award since Mighty Count Fleet seeim to deserve a runaway victory in both divisions. But they will, have a tedious Job wading through ballots from experts in the United Stales and Canada, which are distributed among a flock of candidates in the other three classes: two-year old colts; two-vearold fillies, and hayburners that have passed the four-year mark. Since the polls are closed, anl anything we may say now can have no effect upon the vote we give you our selections for the best horses of 1943: (1) Two-year-old colts and geldings Occupy; (2) two-year old fillies Whirlabout; (3) three-year-olds Count Fleet; (4) lour-year-olds and upward Thumbs Up; (3) horse of the year Count Fleet. Occupy seenu the best two-year-old colt, because this bay son of Bulldog finished out of the money only twice In 11 starts; and be won for owner John Marten a total of $113,949 Among the two-year-old fillie Whirlabout, busiest of the las sies. showed consistently by be ing out of the money only three times In 16 starts Her earnings of $27,760 were less than tnose garnered by such gals as Bee Mac, Miss Keeneland, Mrs. Ames, and Twilight Tear. The handicap class of four year-olds and upwards was the most scrambled of all divisions. But out ot the welter. Thumbs L'p seemed to emerge best. Count Fleet, the brown-light-nlng colt owned by Mrs. John Hertz, seems to nave no genuine competition for three-year-old and borse-of-the-year honors Though the son of Rclgh Count started only six times and was retired about mid-season be cause of injuries, he won every start and $174,053. His triumphs included the Wood Memorial Kentucky Derby. Preakness Withers and Belmont stakes. He ran far; and he ran fast the best horse competing on any track in 1943.

REDSKINS UPSET BY GIANTS, MO L FIRST ICE TILT By United Press It took more than a month to do the Job, but the Montreal Canadiens finally had a defeat on their record in the National League hock race today, thanks to a last scoring drive which netted Boston two goals and a 3 to 4 victory last night. The Bruins, playing before 13.000 home fans, tied the score late in the period on a goal by Herb Cain and Bcp Gudolin shot the clincher into the nets a few minutes later. The. Bruins, by winning, displaced Detroit In fourth place. In the only other game last night Chicago was extended to the limit before defeating the last place New York Rangers 7 to 6, moving into tie with Toronto for second place. By United Frees The New York Gu ru were a third of the way home today in trelr drive to take the eastern division National league profes sional football title from the Washington Redskins, but the odds were long that they would i.ever make the grade. One upset to the good after their last period 14 to 10 victory over Washington yesterday, the Giants must beat the Redskins again next Sunday to tie for the title, then repeat for the third time a week later to capture it undisputedly and meet the Chi cago Bears in the championship playoff game. Yesterday's victory before 31. 308 fans at the Polo Grounds may have been a fluke, since the Giants were 14-polnt underdo rs, but the manner in which they ac complished it proved that they were willing to make a fight to the finish. The Phil-Pitts obligingly elim inated the possible complication o' a three-way tie for the title by losing their final game. 38 to 28. to the Green Bay Packers U. the otily other game. Wins Pass Title The Giants let Sammy Baugh pass to his heart's content and he completed 18 out of 37 tosses to clinch the league champion ship with 117 completions for the season, but they rendered him almost harmless offensively by dumping his receivers in their tracks. For the first game this year, Baugh failed to threw a touch down pass, although be set up the Redskins' only six-point cvunter with a series of short bullet tosses. Don Hutson. playing what he insisted was his last game, bowed out typically in Green Bay's vic tory before a record crowd of 34.294 at P h i I a d e h I a. He brought his total points for the year to 117 to win the league scoring title hands down, by scoring two touchdowns, kicking al! five extra points and adding a field goal. F. D. R.
