O o TWELVE MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday. November 22. 1957 Mantle Most Valuable American Loop Player SPORTSl By JOHN GRIFFIN New York 0? Mickey Man tle, who lost all the pieces of his batting "triple crown" but put on a brilliant all-around per formance, nosed out Boston's Ted Williams today to win the American leagues "Most Valu able Player" award. The New York Yankees "belt ing beauty" gained the decision from the Baseball Writers asso ciaiyan for the second straight year with 233 points against 209 for Williams and 205 for Roy Sievers of the Washington Sena tors. ; That's on of the hottest vot ing races in the history of the ward and makes muscular Mickey of Coftimerce, Okla., the fourth man to win the award two straight years. Hd Rough Season The honor comes as the dra matic climax to a year that saw Mantle overcome assorted leg ailment to pound out a .365 bat ting average that included 34 home runs and 94 runs batted in. The average was up from his .353 of last year. although he fell from his totals of 52 homers and 130 runs-batted-in all figures that led the league. For Williams, who astounded the baseball world with his shmving this year at the age of 39, it was another close defeat for the top award. But not near ly as close as in 1947 when he lost to another Yankee center fielder, Joe DiMaggio, by just one point, 202-201. Williams, who previously won the MVP plaque in 1946 and 1949, captured the league batting crown this year for the fifth time with a .388 mark. He also topped , Mantle in homers with 38 and came close in runs-batted-in with 87. Siever'i Third Sievers' fhird-place showing was one of the best in history by a player on a last-place team. It was a reward for winning the league home run title with 42 homers and the runs-batted-in title with 114. Three baseball writers from each major-league city comprised the committee voting for the award. Mantle received the most first-place votes, six, and was placed no lower than fourth on any of the 24 ballots. Williams, on the other hand, PLAN FLORIDA CAMP Kansas City, Mo. (IP) The Kansas City Athletics, who train in Florida, will also establish their minor league training cen ter there next spring.

Yearling Spring Chinook Salmon Released in Rogue Grants .Pass ine annual re lease of yearling spring Chinook salmon to Rogue river was com pleted last week by crews of the Oregon state game commis sion, it was reported by Cole Rivers, fishery agent for the commission. Between 50,000 and 60,000 spring chinooks have been rais ed to six inches in lenght at the Butte Falls hatchery each year since 1949 and planted in the Rogue at various locations at different times of the year, Riv ers said. Each group of fish is marked by the removal of cer tain fins before release. The study has been conducted by the game commission to find the combination of dates and loca tions of release that produce the best number of adult fish in the return run. Fall Releases Better Fall releases have been found to be better than those made in the spring. Fish liberated below Savage Rapids dam have return ed in larger numbers than those turned loose near the mouth of the river at Gold Beach, Rivers explained. In the catch of adult chinooks at the mouth of the Rogue this year, one fish out of every 13 were hatchery sal mon that had been liberated at Savage Rapids in the fall of 1954. To further the search for im proved returns of hatchery-reared salmon, the experimental lot of fish that had previously been released at Gold Beach were turned loose at Marial this fall. The Rogue received 34,703 sal mon at Savage Rapids and 21,980 at Marial, Rivers said.
