DODGER POLLS BIG VOTE * FOR MOUND LEADERSHIP Johnson’s Majority Small in American Balloting For Best Pitcher—Hartnett and Cochrane Selected as Premier Catcher: itor's Note—This is the third of a series of articles giving the vote the players of the two big league picked all-league teams.) HE vote for the leading pitcher in the National League by the players of tiwe league for the all-National League team was an overwhelm- ing victory for Arthur (Dazzy) Vance of Brooklyn. This was to be expected, in view of his wonderful performance during the scason. Out of 111 votes he received 106 for first-choice twirler. Of the remain- ing five, Luque of the Cincinnati Reds had 3 and Sherdell of the St. Louis Cardinals 2. The vote for second-team pitcher was widely scattered among '13 nominces. Luque of the Reds led, with 38. Meadows of the Pirates was next, with 14, Others were: Rixey, Cincinnati, 9; Alexander, 8; Dona- hue, 0; Sherdell, St. Louis, 4; Aldridge, 4; Benton, 2; Grimes, Brooklyn, 2 Pete Donahue of the Reds was the | picked Johnson for second choice as third-string selection with 18 votes.|against 32 for Rommel: Coveleskie Meadows was next with 17: Luque, also appeared in the second column Aldridge.

Others chosen for the third string pitchers were Lyons Harriss, Gray, Bush, Ruether, Whitehill, Dauss and Holloway. Cochrane of the Athletics was chosen all-American League catcher. He ran ahead of Johnson in thd vot- ing, having 67, or one more than the National's star twirler.

Last year Johnson received 96 first |choice and 14 second choice votes. Ruel and Bassler were tied for the lead in first choice votes, which Ruel won by reason of the larger number of second and third choice votes cast for him.

Hartnett Heads Catchers. No man in the National League re- ceived a majority of the votes for catcher. Gabby Hartnett of the Chi- cago -Cubs led for first choice with 32 votes. Taylor of Brooklyn followed With 20 and Wilson, 19. Snyder of the Giants was voted for by 12 players, &and O'Farrell of St. Louis drew 13.

Hartnett drew 14 votes for third choice, leading the field of 13 catch- ers, among whom the remaining votes were rather evenly divided While the players’ vote for all- league catcher was split among many { favorites, it nevertheless made clear that Hartnett is easily the choice of the league for the all-National post. Hartnett duplicates his triumph of last year, when he was elected to the plavers' all-league team and chosen &gain by McGraw for his all-Ameri- can combine. Tn Vance and Hartnett, all_experts will agree, there is an all-National battery that is well-nigh invincible. American League Selecticns. The decided trend of opinion shown by the National League playvens in their selection of Vance for the all- National team was not so strikingly shown by the American League per- gonnel in their choice of Walter John- dson of the Nationals as first choice pitcher of the all-American League team.

EW YORK, October 19.—Loss oi the world series by the Washing- N ton club means that the team will have to be partly reorganized for the 1926 campaign. Winning the series, together with one or two psospective additions, means that the Pittsburgh team will have the other seven clubs in the National League on the defensive next scason. If Washington had won the series with the case with which it threatened to win, it would have started the next season with much the same general arrangement that it had this year. But Peckinpaugh's “had flelding, which was largely résponsible for the loss of three games, will so shake the confidence of the Washington public that a new shortstop would be de- manded even if he were not traded, as is contemplated. The defeat also calls attention to the team's need of strengthening in the pitcher's box. Must Reorganize. “Clark Griffith will have to reorgan+| ixe immediately,” said an American League magnate immediately after the last game. “He cannot postpone it 'another year as he thought he, could.” . The addition of Waner and Rhyne of the San Francisco club will make the Pittsburgh team one of .the strongest in base ball. Even if Waner does not replace one of the Pirates' present outflelders he will be a mighty useful man to have around in event one of the regulars is injured. Rhyne, though a shortstop, can be played at second base. If Moore is not retained for second base he can be used for trading purposes and he is also a good utility outfielder. Pittsburgh needs two more good pitchers and it has trading material to go after them. Kremer has had considerable experience and may not be so fresh in 1926, and Aldridge will be about as hard to start next year as he was this year. The Pirates may also trade for another catcher. With another high-class man te help Smith behind the bat, they might be invulnerable. Giants Want Catcher. The Giants want a catcher and an outfielder. They have been dickering with Cincinnati for a long-time, but the Reds want Kelly. After the rec- ord Kelly made this season they are not likely to get him. Hendricks would also take Terry if he could get him. Snyder is the catcher the Giants will trade. An even trade for Hargrave would be to New York's advantage, although Hargrave does not seem to be as good as he was. It is not likely that McGraw would turn down a good proposition whereby he could get Luque, but he will not go crazy to get him. There was a lot of trade talk at the world series, but there was little except talk. Thq St. Louis Browns were particularly active, as they are in the market for a trade. The Browns are out after the pennant next year and they think a change or two will help the team. WOMAN’S CHAMPION.

Along about this time the powers that be decreed that Jess Willard was to be buflt up for some biz money bouts. Johnson was- picked as the stepping stone. His style of rushing tactics was just suited to Willard's big bulk and heavy punches, He tore into the big fellow for 11 rounds and was a mark for Jess' ramrod lefts and cruel upper- cuts. He went down a beaten and exhausted boxer, and has been that ever since.

Luckily Gene got off to a good start and we won the No. 1 hole. Hagen was in trouble on the first five holes, and by this time we were going strong. Sarazen had traveled a much worse route than I in coming from Holly- ‘wood and after the twelfth hole began to weaken. However, I grew better. My putts began to go down from every side and I finished with a 67, beating the record for the course, €8, set by Hagen. -Gene and I won, 4 and 5. Gene and I had a best ball of 64. Strangely enough, after we took the honor on the first hole we fiever lost hole—the first experienge-gf tha- kind they ever had had in their long period of teaming. All this after we had fully expected to be beaten! Just another of the strange quirks of the great game of golf. (Copyright; 1925.) [LIBERTY A. C.
