This combination of events left the margin of the St. Louis team still three and one-half games as the Clan McGraw moved into the mound city for a three-day crucial series. The simultaneous recovery of the Yankees and the Athletics from a two-day slump found both teams wiring with room to spare. The margin of the Yanks over the Mack- men remained four and one-half games, ' Burleigh Grimes had a hard after- | nocn against Brooklyn, but he lasted through to gather his twenty-first victory and twenty-second complete game of the season. After see-saw- ing along for seven innings, the Pirates finally pounded old Bill Doak for five runs and an 11 to 6 decision in the eighth. The Phillies mistook themselves for the Athletics in Cincinnati. Be- fore this impression was corrected they had piled up 22 hits to win by 13 to 4 for an even break on the four games series. Wait Hoyt turned in a strong game against the White Sox to score of 11 to 1, and this more than the victory ‘tself encouraged Miller Huggins. With Pennock ready to go against the Indians today, the little Miller has no great fear of a gain Col by the Athletics in the next 24 hours. Desperate after two defeats by the Tigers, the Minions of McGillicuddy, otherwise known as the Hous> of Mack, wreaked handsome revenge on George Moriarty’s forces yesterday to the tune of 18 to 6.

FARRELL (NEA Service Sports Writer) Lou Gehrig, the busting first base- man of the New York Yankees, won the contest in 1927 for the Ameri- can League’s most valuable player prize in a walk. With Babe Ruth in- elegible for the prize, the young first baseman was by far the outstand- ing player of the season and he was almost an unanimous choice of the voting committee of baseball writers. This year there is no player in the league who stands out as promin- ently as George Sisler, the Babe, Walter Johnson, hae Peckinpaugh, George Burns and Gehrig did when they won the prize. There are, of course, a number of prominent candidates, but they are grouped closely together and the competition will be keener than it ever has been before. And under these conditions there will be plenty of argument over the fitness and merit of the winner. The outstanding candidates would seem at the present time to be Tony Lazzeri and George Pipgras, of the New York Yankees; Jimmy Foxx, of the Philadelphia Athletics; Ralph Kress and Sam Gray, of the St. Louis Browns; Bob Ree of the Wash- ington Senators; Charley Jamieson and Carl Lind, of the Cleveland In- dians; Willie Kamm, of the Chicago White Sox, and Big Ed. Morris, of the Boston Red Sox. There are one or two players on every club in the league who are more valuable to the team than the members of the squad, but it is only a natural tendency to pay more at- tention to the stars on the pennant contending teams because their Geeds are given more publicit; Considering all the angles, our choice would be young Jimmy Foxx, the best all-around player in baseball. He is a grea hitter and a brilliant worker behind the bat, on first base or third base and a capable out- fielder. He has been shifted all over the lot by Connie Mack and he de- livered on every assignment. He is playing with a bunch of stars. Al Simmons was fifth in the voting last year and Jimmy Dykes was eighth. Simmons has done val- iant work this season, but he has not been put to the test in great emergencies that the kid has, and the kid delivered like a Spartan. The actual test that proves a player’s real value to his club was put to the Yankees in recent weeks and it was demonstrated very plain- ly that Tony Lazzeri is a very large part of the main works of the cham- pe Yankees. Tony from the start s been a vital part of the Yank machine and he is the best second baseman in the league. Last year, in competition with Gehrie. he got eight votes from the committee on awards, and that meant much. When Lazzeri went out this year with an injured shoulder, the tire Yankee infield went to org Koenig blew up when he had to work with a stranger at second, and the defense of the whole team was demoralized. Lazzeri’s only rival among the Yankees is George Pipgras, who is 1] making a record as the best pitcher of the year. But, it can be ar, any pitcher should have deli when the Yanks were hitting on all cylinders behind him and when the club it into its terrible slump Pipgrs started losing. e creditable rise of the St. Louis Browns this year placed Ralph Kress. in a position to get a lot of notice. mance of and n a long time and inspiring a whole team, put him in a fine spot. Bu some of the managers and the play- ers in the league think that the fine improvement of the Browns was due as much to the fine pitching of Sam Gray as it was to anything that Kress did. Bucky Harris says that with Gos- lin hopelessly crippled, Bob Reeves is the most valuable player on his club. And it was the crippling of Goslin that brought out the real merits of a8 he had to play shortstop from the base line clear back to the left field wall.
