First Baseman, Is Ranked as Baseball’s Rookie-of-the-Year By DILLON GRAHAM AP Feature Service Writer NEW YORK, Oct. 14—In a sea- son that has produced an unusually crop of flashy recruits, the major-league rookie of the year is Frank (Buck) McCormick, Cincin- nati’s huge first-baseman While other freshman aces in- termittently blossomed and drooped, McCormick travelled along in long, steady strides.
