The count Of ballots for all-Ameri-
can League first baseman showed u
much closer race than the all-Nation-
al one. George Sisler, the manager
player Of the ST. Louis Browns. won
by comfortable margin over Joe
Judge of the Nationals. The vote
was Sisler, As; Judge, -; Sheely
Chicago. 90; Blue, Detroit, 10.
While Sisler got less than half the
votes cast by the league players, his
lead over Judge. his nearest compet-
itor, was convincing. For second
choice, Sisler got almost as many
votes as for first. lie led Judge and
Sheely in this column while Judge
won over Sheely and Blue for third
choice.
Judge Third Choice
In the poll taken last year Judge
was first choice. and this year, though
still Il valuable part of the winning
Nationals team, he is pulled down to
third choice by his fellow players for
the All-American League team
For the keystone post on the all
American team Collins was chosen by
the players with 81 votes, as. against
43 for Bucky Harris, the manager sec
ond bagger of the winning Washing
ton team. This result duplicates last
years selection and was to he expect
ed. However, Harris shows a gain in
nrst-choice votes over last year. when
1t stood: Collins, %: Harris, %. Har-
ris' increase in favor is no doubt due
TO his big part played in plotting the
Nationals to their second successive
pennant.
In second choice Harris led. with
McManus Of the st. Louis Browns
getting the most votes for the third.
string choice. leading Bishop, Ward,
Dykes and ORourke
Besides Collins and Harris only two
others were granted flrst-choice bal
lots, O'Rourke with 2 and McManus I
This leaves no doubt as to the best
two second basemen IN the American
League according TO the Judgment OF
the players themselves Will. the
value of Harris 10 his team as man
ager probably contributed to his vote
getting power, and rightly 50. still il
IS plain that Collins stands supreme
the peer of them all in the American
League.
Poll Heavy Vote
Strangely enough, 90 of the Ameri-
can League players voted for Peckin-
pauSh, and the same number for Ossie
Bluege for their all-star posts. In the
National League 81 pill-tOSSerS ac-
corded the palm to Traynor and
Wright. Wright. however. was given
"a votes for first choice in the third
base contest, indicating that many
players recommend him for that posi-
ton.
Willie Kamm of the Chicago White
SoX. although receiving only three
frat-Choice votes. is the second most
valuable third-SaCker in the johnson
circuit. according to the vote of the
players. Forty-two of the men voted
for him as second choice, with 80 in
favor OF DuSdn. Again In the third
column. Eamm had % votes, four
more than Dugan. who last year had
ia out of li6 for first choice. In this
years poll only 4 placed Dugan in the
first column.

nominees with one vote. Sewell was
secoud-choice winner over Gerber of

ton, 15: Frisch. New York, 6: Freigau,
Chicago, j. Pinelli of the Cincinnati

votes. Frisch had 10 hackers for this
column. Again Pinelli was picked by
the players for their third choice, with
81 votes.
Wright's selection as all-National
shortstop by 62 big leaguers was not a
runaway victory, as II votes We're
given to Bancroft Of the Braves. That
Bancroft is the second best shortstop
in the National is shown by his Al
