Konstanty NL's MVP NEW YORK (AP) — Casimer James (Big Jim) Konstanty won the National league's most valuable player award today. He was the first relief pitcher ever to receive that honor. The bespectacled righthander, whose great hurling in the clutch won the first flag in 35 years for the Philadelphia Phils in 1950, made a runaway of the one-sided race. 18 First Votes The 33-year-old native of Worcester, N. Y., received 18 of the 24 first place votes of a committee of the Baseball Writers' Association of America. The only surprise was that two writers failed to name him in their 10-player ballot. Gran Hamner, a teammate of Konstanty, and New York's Eddie Stankey each received two first place votes. The other two went to Stan Musial of St. Louis and Ralph Kiner of Pittsburgh. Musial, three-time MVP award winner and last season's batting king, finished a poor second to Konstanty in the point total. Big Jim collected 286 points to 158 for the Cardinal slugger. Stanley, second base spark plug of the Giants, was third with 144 points. Set Record Jim toiled in 74 games, a national league record, all in relief. He wound up with a win and lost mark of 16-7, third high in the league: In addition, Konstanty was credited with saving Appling to Head Chicks Next Year MEMPHIS (AP)—Luke Appling, the Chicago White Sox's durable shortstop, starts a new career next spring as manager of the Memphis Chicks. Appling, at 41 affectionately known to his teammates as "Old Aches and Pains," accepted the helm of the class AA Southern association club yesterday. Memphis is one of the Sox's farm clubs. His decision ended a 20-year record breaking career as a big league shortstop in which he played the most games (2218) and led the American League twice in hitting—388 in 1936 and .328 in 1943. He succeeds Al Todd, who resigned this fall after managing the Chicks two years. Saddler Earns Riley Decision ST. LOUIS (AP)—Featherweight Champion Sandy Saddler took it on the jaw in the early rounds of his non-title fight with St. Louis Charley Riley but he came back strong for a close 10-round decision last night. Both judges ruled for Saddler. Referee Harry Kessler voted it a draw. Both fighters went at each other viciously at the opening gong but Riley, after getting Saddler in trouble in the second and sixth rounds, tired. Musical, three-time MVP award winner and last season's batting king, finished a poor second to Konstanty in the point total. Big Jim collected 286 points to 158 for the Cardinal slugger.

He wound up with a won and lost mark of 16-7, third high in the league: In addition, Konstanty was credited with saving at least 23 games for the Phils. Konstanty is the second Philly player to win the MVP award. Chuck Klein won it in 1932. The standings with first place votes in parentheses (points figured on a 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 basis): Player Club Points 1. Jim Konstanty, Phila. (18) 286 2.

Andy Pafko, Chicago 38 St. Louis 04—weatherweight Champion Sandy Saddler took it on the jaw in the early rounds of his non-title fight with St. Louis' Charley Riley but he came back strong for a close 10-round decision last night. Both judges ruled for Saddler. Referee Harry Keasler voted it a draw. Both fighters went at each other viciously at the opening gong but Riley, after getting Saddler in trouble in the second and sixth rounds, tired. The 7253 fans roared with approval as Riley slammed the New Yorker into the ropes repeatedly with left jabs to the jaw. Saddler came back in the third to take that round and the fourth appeared to be a draw. In the sixth Riley showed a final burst of steam as he put Saddler back on the ropes with a series of right-hand blows. From then on Saddler kept Riley from getting off any solid blows while he pounded the St. Louisan at will. Riley weighed 128½, Saddler 128¼. In only one of its 11 games in 1949 did the College of the Pacific football team score less than five touchdowns.

PITT-WEST VA. all the Pirates were last Chandler Vows PCL 'Relief' Cincinnati (AP)—It has been almost five years since the Pacific Coast league made its first big demand to be recognized as a major league. Now it looks as if the Coast, leaguers are making some progress. Yesterday Baseball Commissioner A. B. Chandler said it had been decided to "give relief to the Coast league as the facts justify." He explained that might mean placing the league in a new 4-A classification among the minors. Five years ago at Columbus the Pacific Coast league asked flatly to be recognized as a major league. Since then, the request has been tempered to a plea that its players be exempt from the major league draft. Decide In December It was that request which was considered yesterday by the major-minor league executive committee. The Pacific Coast league now is in class AAA among the minors along with the International league and the American association. Just what is to be done probably won't be decided until the major-minor meeting in St. Petersburgh, Fla., in December. Chandler explained, however, the Coast league has peculiar problems in that it outdraws the other AAA leagues, plays a longer schedule and seven of its eight clubs are independently owned. The commissioner said, however, all three AAA leagues would be surveyed as to all of their SPORTS MIRROR By the Associated Press Today a Year Ago—Vito Ragazzo, William and Mary end, caught 11 pies for new college football record.

NFL Attendance Slumps Slightly PHILADELPHIA (AP)—Attendance in the National Football League is running behind that of 1949, an Associated Press survey disclosed today. With one-third of the 1950 season gone, 1,151,040 fans have witnessed 42 games. The first 41 contests of 1949, involving NFL and All-America conference teams, drew 1,236,574 spectators. Six clubs reported increases in home games played to date. Seven said their books showed a decrease. Six Go Up Up from last year are the champion Philadelphia Eagles, Cleveland Browns, Chicago Bears, Pittsburgh Steelers, Detroit Lions Cage Signups Derr Announcement 1950 League Runs Although the start of the season is less than a month Recreation Director Don Dale today that only one team has thus far applied entrance into the City He also set forth the five rules for this year's play.

Players not living in district but attending meetings of a club or for organization may play in club in which they hold no ship. 2.

Chandler explained, however, the Coast league has peculiar problems in that it outdraws the other AAA leagues, plays a longer schedule and seven of its eight clubs are independently owned. The commissioner said howevr, all three AAA leagues would be surveyed as to all of their operations. May Up Price There was no definite information as to the type of "relief" that might be given the Pacific Coast league but the thought was expressed that the draft price for Coast league players might be increased from $10,000 to $25,000. Another suggestion was that the Coast league be able to keep its players longer before they become subject to the draft. There was no decision at the meeting about the broadcasting of major league games in minor league territory or any change in the disposition of $975,000 received from the radio and television rights for the last World Series. Some of the players have been asking a part of that money be dumped into the fund in which first division clubs of the two major leagues share. In Pension Fund Originally it was intended that most or all of the money go into the players' pension fund. The meeting also brought no decision as to the status of jobless Branch Rickey. Chandler said, however, Rickey, former boss of the Brooklyn Dodgers, has a job but he couldn't disclose any details. The Mahatma, here for the meeting, declared just as vehemently "I don't know of any job I have just now, but maybe the commissioner has some later information." The rumors still wavered between the Pittsburgh Pirates and St. Louis. But here it's to make my average. SMU-TEXAS SMU Is not related to shmoe. DENVER-SFU Denver's in a hockuva fix. After this its losses will be six. WYOMING-IDAHO Wyoming's not in a slump. So the PCC gets another lump. Six clubs reported increases in home games played to date. Seven said their books showed a decrease. Six Go Up Up from last year are the champion Philadelphia Eagles, Cleveland Browns, Chicago Bears, Pittsburgh Steelers, Detroit Lions and New York Giants. The sharpest decline in attendance is at Los Angeles where the Rams' gate has slumped by 66,000 fans—even though there is no competition from a rival Los Angeles team as in 1949. Last year, the Rams drew 151,098 for three games. In four 1950 games, Los Angeles attracted only 84,969. Rams Not Down? Tex Schramm, Rams' publicity director, scoffed: "What, our attendance down?" "Why," he added cheerfully, "more than two million fans see the Rams every time they play at home. By television, that is." He pointed out that the Rams are the only NFL club televising all home games "live." Other teams televise games but often do not show the films until later. This move was taken to guard against loss of attendance by fans staying home to watch games by television. The San Francisco 49ers have drawn 145,158 in five games this year against 168,470 in the first five last season.
