the information that Paul will take

and may give Berley fight of it. But
Paul slams them in the body too hard
for the like of Lohman.

with Charley Nashert and then comes
jaunt out to Los Angeles for another
10.round affair with the middleweight
champion, Mickey Walker.

that Berlenbach is not so per cent the

N TEW YORK, October 11.-If the
opinions of most of the play
VI ers participating in the late
4 world series mean anything
the most valuable player
awards for 1927 will go to Larruping
Lou Gehrig. Yankee first baseman,
for the American League, and to Paul
Waner. Pirate right fielder, in the Ma
tional League.
The views of the players themselves
are significant. perhaps, but they are
not the determining factor. The
awards. made ,annually. are based on
the ballots of base ball writer's repre-
senting the cities in each circuit.
Last year the honor and its $1,000
National League emolument fell to
Bob O'Farrell, star catcher and now
manager of the St. Louis Cardinals.
The American League award went to
George Burns, Cleveland first base
man.
Gehrig, most of the ball players
feel, is the local American League
choice this season. Columbia Lou
gave Babe Ruth a hot chase most OF
the year for home-run honors and fin
ished with total of Al, more than any
other player in base ball history ex-
cept the Bambino himself. He set
new record for driving in runs, 49,.
and finished third in the batting list,
trailing only Harry Heilmann Of the
Tigers and AL Simmons Of the Ath-
leticS.
Gehrig was star. too, in the world
series, despite the fact that some of
his previous good work was offset
bit when he struck out in the dra-
matte ninth inning of the final game.

Simmons. but for an injury that
