Crav was picked on the basis
of nominations by sports editors
of the nation.
Virgil Warren, chairman of
the round table's award com
mittee, said Bob Ritter of the
Progress Bulletin of Pomona,
Calif., summed up the feelings of
fellow writers with the comment
that Gray 'must be a symbol to
returning wounded veterans who
have lost the services of a limb.
His inspiration will no doubt
speed many of them on their way
to useful lives once again, despite
handicaps. There is no second
choice."
Gray, one-armed outfielder for
the Memphis Chicks, was signed
last fall by the St. Louis Browns
and will join them in spring
training.
The round table's annual
sportsmanship awards first be
came national sports news in
1939 when the presentation was
made to Don Herry, University
of Princeton football player who
lost a les. That award was pre
sented by Vice President John
?ance Garner in the national
capitol building.
Mort Cooper of the St. Louis
Cardinals who pitched and won
a world series game a few hours
after the death of his father was
last year's winner.

Tightens Screws
On Racing Ban
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4 UP)
The screws of racing got on-
other tightening yesterday.
A new ODT order forbids the
use of privately-owned automo
biles, buses or trucks to trans
port passengers to or from
horse, dog or motor vehicle
races.
Since all American tracks
now are closed, the principal
effect will be to prevent the
use of motor vehicles to visit
any tracks across the border.
It also eliminates any auto
mobile racing in this country.
Automobile racing has been
banned since July 31, 1942, but
ODT some time ago permitted
racing by motor vehicles using
fuel or tires which were not
subject to rationing. At that
time, ODT explained that cer
tain midget cars could be oper
ated by fuels other than gaso
line, and that they could use
tires not under rationing. Even
this now is prohibited.
