Named Most Valua-
BILE Player

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Oct. 12.-(P1-Lou
Gehrig, Yankee first baseman and
heir-apparent to the ~sultanate Of
swat should the apparently perpetual
Ruth eve weaken, has been desig-
mated by a committee of baseball
writers rs the most valuable play
er" Of the American league of 1927.
Ban Johnson, league president, made
the announcement last night.
Seven Of the eight writers, ons
from each city Of the league, named
Gehrig as their first choice. The
other first place went to Tony
Lazzeri, Yankee second baseman.
Gehrig won the award, which n
honorary and without monetary
value. on his all-around ability and
value, particularly his effectiveness
at bat.
Gehrig was the third best batsman
in the leage and was second to Ruth
in the number Of home runs, az.
Though his home run mark was far
back Of Ruth's record sixty, 1t was
the highest ever made in the league
by anyone except Ruth.
Harry Heilmann, who won his
fourth league batting championship
this year, was runner-up to Gehrig
for most valuable player" honors.
Heilmann, an old timer in the De-
troit outfit and himself once a first
baseman like Gehrig, received IS
points compared with Gehrig's So.
Ted Lyons, the White Sox pitcher,
was just one point below Heilmann
to rank third.
President Johnson expressed pleas
ure in Gehrig's election, pointing to
him as a great example for the
youth Of today. The League executive
pointed out that Gehrig causes no
trouble 70 umpires, plays consci-
~entiously and has always given his
best efforts to his club and the
league.
No club failed Of representation
in the voting for first, second and
third choices. The much-abused
Boston Red Sox had the largest rep
resentation in the list, five mem
bers of that club being mentioned In
the voting. Washington and St.
Louis each placed four, Cleveland
and Philadelphia three each, and
New York. Detroit and Chicago, two

success IN the first two games OF

Gus efforts 10 force the issue to a
victory for them.
Last Fridays contests in the Val
lev conference took some Of the
kinks out Of the grid situation and
enabled many coaches TO get a line
on the ability not only Of other
teams, but TO more accurately sum
UP the possibilities Of their own
elevens.
Brownsville, Harlingen and San
Benito are regarded by most Of the
coaches as the teams TO be beaten
for the Valley championship. The
latter two are standing fo~ur-square
with an average Of an even 1000,
while Brownsville having been
licked by the Cards 10 start the sea-

Harrington also failed 10 live up

with Mission Friday, according 10
reports filtering through from the
latter place. II was eve said after
the game that the locals made more
first downs than the visiting Cards

game, although losing by a rs TO 6
count.
Up at the Crimson stronghold,
however, this was taken more as an
indication Of Mission strength than
Of Harlingen weakness. They point
