Last season Billy Lane was t the most valuable man to the 3 ~ tle club, because the Rabbit having a derful He was running, ft and throwing like a champion g an all-star done dur far was won season. fon of The Star, the most valua ble man to the Indians has been Elmer Jacobs the big right handed — pitoher “Brick” Eldred and Ray Rohwer, the slugging fielders; Harry Gardner, capable pitcher; Sammy Crane, most beilliant shortstop in league, and “Doc” Johnston, the vet eran first sacker, ali deserve 1 mention when it comes to r players for valuable service, but team would be little less than Wreck without Jacobs’ great ing. In these hectic days of the lively apple, a pitcher of Jacobs’ skill is hard to find. And he always tries to win, which is also a creditable feature of his play in this commer- clalized athletic era. Jake has given the team some wonderful service and ranks with the best minor | league pitchers in the country. As for the other clubs, The Star ranks the men, as far as value to their team goes, as follows: Merlin Kopp, outfielder, Sac- ramento. Pete Kilduff, second base, Francisco. dake May, pitcher, Vergon. Ray Kremer, pitcher, Oakland. Paul Strand, outfielder, Salt JACOBS the the San Wally Hood, outfielder, Angeles. Kopp {= the best all-around out- fielder of the Coast league seasori.| He is having the same kind of a year for Sacramento as Lane had for Se- attle last year. He tis leading the leagve in runs scored, stolen bases and fs fielding and throwing finely. Take him out of the Sacramento line- up and you would ruin their offens: Kilduff was the key to the fense at second base for San Fran- cisco. Since he has been on the shelf, the Seals have wobbled badly He’s a wonder on double plays and &@ good offensive player, too. May isn’t having the year for Ver- non that he did last year, but he's by far the best man on that club. Wally Hood is no Tris Speaker, but he has been the spark plug of the Los Angeles club this year and he has been stinging the apple. Kremer, with a rank club, is an outstanding star. He's one of the best pitchers in the business and de. Serves a world of credit for what he's} done with the wreck at Oakland. Strand, the league's leading hitter, {# far and away the most valuab! man on the Salt Lake team. Brazill, Portland's scrappy third sacker, \s a great hitter and one of| the most aggressive ball players in the circuit. He’s the most valuable man on the Beaver club.
