THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, FRIDAY, OCT. 4, 1940. Nominafed by Graham As Most Valuable Man In American League / F——— ———e = —— — e — -— AN P - HORRIS—— = LN By DILLON GRAHAM Sports Editory AP Feature Service HANK GREENBERG, Detroit’s spectacular outfield “rookie” is this orner's nomination for the American League's most valuable player award. The big fellow withdrew from first base, a position he had mastered, and tock a new job in the outfield last spring in order that his team might be strengthened offensively by placing another heavy hitter at first. There was talk that he wouldn’'t be a satisfactory flychaser but, with his characteristic eagerness to learn, Greenberg was a polished field- '+ before the season was many weeks old. There aren’t many outfielders now who are better than Hank. He has had one of his best years at bat, leading the league in home runs and runs batted in. He missed the batting championship by only a few points. Hank won the most valuable award in 1935 when he led in and runs knocked in. homer 5 COMPANY (MPENSATION APPEAL 10 BE ~ HEARDINNOV. |first walk, then was thrown out CommISS.Ion Summoned '0 stealing, Tebbetts to Bartell.

If he doesn’t hit the ball, his sharp eye often gets him a walk. Off seasons he’s an insurance executive and hunting dog fan- cier. e High School Rifle Clubs Hold Election Under the direction of Henry Har- men, the Boys' Rifle Club of the Juneau High School, elected Gud- man Winther as president at the first meeting.

Then, manager of the Philadelphia Phillies, he = taught a third-baseman named Bucky Walters how to pitch, He came to the Cincinnati Reds as a coach in 1939. Pushing 40, he figured his playing days were over. But the death of second-string catcher Willard Hershberger left a hole to fill and Jimmy filled it. When Ernie Lombardi went out with an injured finger for a few days in early September, Jimmy caught with the old-time zip, tossed hopeful base stealers out with ease, and contributed some useful hits on the offensive side. Jimmy’s son is a bull-pen catch- er for the Reds and is expected ta take up where his dad leaves off —if he ever does.
