MOST VALUABLE
LEAGUE PLAYER
"Larruping Lou Award
ed Highest Honor By
NcWspapermen.
BY FRANK GETTY
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Oct. 12.-It takes
many things to make a great ball
pIayer-and Lou Gchrig has most
of them.
The big first baseman vi i;le New
York Yanks has just been voted the
most vaIua bic player in the Amefi,
can League for the season Of 1927.
Since Babe Ruth was ineligible
under the rules which preclude the
possibility of an American League
player beng named more than once
for the honor Columbia Lou well
deserved the award.
Gehrig was the first choice of all
but one of a committee of baseball
writers representing the cities of the
circuit. His nearest competitor was
Harry Helman, Detroit outfielder
who led the league in hitting and
Ted Lyons. White SoX pitcher.
What manner of man is this
youngster, just completing his third
full major league season, yet named
as the most valuable player in his
league?
Well, for one thing Lou Gehrig is
what is known as "ball players
plaver.o In other words, he has
won the confidence of his fellow
Yankees as well as of the fans.
His hitting this past season has
been phenomenal. While he failed
by few points to win the batting
championship, he stood third in the
American League averages and
drove in more runs than any other
player. Cnc hundred and seventy
five times during tho season, Lou S
big bat banged home a Yankee run
an average of considerably better
than a run game.
Likes Fried Eels
Whenever an athlete achieves
fame of this sort, it is customary
to discover that he is good to his
mother. Nevertheless, Lou Gehrig
is real home boy with a taste for
fried cells.
Part of his success in home run
hitting and all around long distance
Singing has been attributed to
I.thosc cells, and many small boy
with an eve to sand lot fame has
been known to make brave at
tempt to down ono of the darn
things since LOUIS preference be
came known. Gehrig gave Ruth a
great race for home run honors for
a time during the latter part of the
| 1927 season.
Lou hit .3Os against the Pirates

triples to this team s total of extra
