Trophy is Presented In the presence of members of the racing committee, visiting sports- men and newspapermen with three eras recording the event for the Stalkies", Premier Harrington pre- sented the handsome trophy to Cap- ain Angus Walters, of Lunenburg, who had piloted the Bluenosc to ory. £ A smaller trophy was presented fo Captain Ben Pine, skipper of the ebaud, who figured in the first 6 races but was forced to give the wheel to-day on account of nus trouble. HR. Silver, chair- an of the race committee, gave ont izes, $3,000 to the winner, Captain Walters, and $2000 to Captain Pine. ' Thanking the Gloucester skipper or bringing his ship and crew to ifax, Premier Harrington said: ptain Pine, may I tell you with enuine sincerity how much we all ippreciate vour fine sportsmanship, ag displayed in these great contests mos om their inception. If it 8 excelled at all, it is excelled only By your ability as a skipper. We realize the sacrifices you have de and the greatest of these is ur devotion to your duties under handicap of ill-health. [ "You have made these sacrifices, with any selfish motives of per- pal satisfaction, but to advance interests of the industry you re- resent. E To Revive Industry E "The sporting feature of these events is the feature that re- 6s perhaps smallest considera- i by those who back the races those who sail them, and it is time like this, when economic is being felt in the fishing in- J that an added impetus is patly to be desired--the sort of impetus contributed through the wide publicity these races receive. "Indeed, I can appreciate as well as anyone the fact that the public- ity the fishing industry receives while these races are in progress could not be purchased with money it is universal and immense; and it focusses the public mind upon an industrial activity seriously in need of effective attention seriously in need of effectve attention to-day. The actual money required to con- duct a series of this kind is insigni- ficant compared with the benefitsy that flow therefrom: and Fam sure you and your other friends in Glou- cester realize how necessary tis to keep this institution alive and progressive," Maple Leafs are Husky Squad Catharines, Oct. 21--Under ideal conditions, the sixteen players of the Maple Ieaf Hockey Club of Toronto started their traming can paign for the 48-game National League schedule here yesterday.

Slocum of New York, President of the Baseball Writers' Association of America. The association is perpetuating the "most-valuable-player" poll, which was officially dropped by the National League in 1929. I'risch emerged the victor in a three-cornered battle of ballots with "Chuek" Klein, slugging out- fielder of the Phillies, and Bill I'erry, first-baseman of the New York Giants, Out of a possible maximum of 80 points Frisch top- ped the list with 65. Klein receiv. ed 55, and Terry 53. No one else was a real contender for the hon- or, Elwood English of the Cubs, in fourth place, collecting 30 points, The votes were tabulated on a basis of ten points for first place, nine for second, and so on down the list of ten, Beyond ten, "honorable mention" took the place of points, It was noteworthy that the three world series herdes of the Cardinals, "Pepper" Martin, Bur- leigh Grimes and Bill Hallahan, received no points whatever, They won honorable mention, however, along with more than a dozen others, This year's balloting was made before the world series) Players who have received rec- ognition as the "most valuable' in the National lL.eague are: 1924, Dazzy Vance, Brooklyn; 1925, Rogers Hornsby, St. Louis; 1926, Bob O'Farrell, St. Louis; 1927, Paul Waner, Pittsburg; 1928, Jim Bottomley, St. Louis; 1929, Rogers Hornsby, Chicago; 1930, Hack Wilson, Chicago (x); 1931, Frank I'rlsch, St. Louis (xx-. x--Unofficial poll, conducted by Associated Press, hut $1,000 a- ward given Wilson by his club. xx--1'noflicial poll, conducted by Baseball Writers' Association of America, Collegiate Sport Shorts Beaten by the forward pass -a department of the game in which they imagined they excelled!

Thebaud, Captain Ben Pine, out of Gloucester, Mass, The Canadian beat her United States rival by 12 minutes, 1 second. This added to Monday's victory of 32 minutes, 46 sec- onds, over the same course of 36 nautical miles, gave Bluenose possession for another year of the Halifax Herald International Fishermen's Trophy, and $3,000. The defeated Thebaud received $2,000, and Captain Ben Pine, who risked his health to skipper the Thebaud for the series, was presentde with a special cup in recognition of Nova Scotia's ap- preciation of his sportsmanship. The presentations were made late yesterday afternoon by Hon. Gordon S, Harrington, Premir of the Province.

Thebaud was sailed fault- lessly by Captain John Matheson, substituting for Captain Ben Pine. "Long John" won the start and steered his charge as straight ag a die to the outer mark, but he could not overcome the weatherly qualities of the Cana- dian.
