NEW YORK, August IT N9.-The
financial capital Of the world said a
last farewell yesterday to Ebert II.
Gary, for many years one of its most
important figures. when his body was
taken by special train to Wheaton,
ILL.,. where the steel magnate scored
his early triumphs that brought him
TO the notice Of J. p. Morgan, and so to
New York.
The funeral train was operated as
q special section Of the Twentieth Cen
fury Limited, preceding the passenger
express along a cleared track. The
body, contained in a rose-covered
casket, lay on a platform in the
center Of a club car especially dec
GRATED in gray drapings. In the other
cars of the train were the widow,
honorary pail bearers and business as
sociates. among them numerous fig
ures of prominence in the business
world.
After New York had seen it's last

tention was centered on speculation
concerning his successor as chairman
of the board of the United States Steel
Co. 1t was indicated, however, that
no selection would be made until we'll

would be left vacant perhaps in

Gloom Spreads Over Alabama

pail of gloom hung over the parks ana
Fairgrounds OF the Tennessee Coal,
Iron & Railway Co. here yesterday as
white and negro workers alike
mourned the passing of their chief.
Gilbert H. Gary. chairman of the
| United States Steel Corporation, long
had looked on the Tennessee Coal and
| Iron workers here as his particular
wards. and during the last few years
! he had sponsored numerous play
grounds and community gathering
| places for members of both races en-
| ployed at the local subsidiary mills of
| the corporation.
Mr.. Gary particularly was pleased
| with the yearly pageants by children
of the workers, negro and white,
which are held in company play
grounds at Bessemer, Ensley and other
sites of steel mills of the Tennessee
Coal, Iron & Railway Co.
He also pointed with pride to the
company plan of furnishing houses
to all workers who were permitted to
buy homes through a payment plan.
1t was Mr.. Gary's boast that no
worker in 1T. c. I. mill" could not
afford his own home by using the
company finance plan.
1t was little more than year ago
that Mr.. Gary became a patient in
the company hospital here, placing
himself under the care of DIR. Lloyd
Nolan, chief Of the T. c. I. Hospital
staff
A change of diet was recommended
which Mr.. Gary is said to have fol-
lowed until the time of his death. In
an interview shortly before returning
to the East, Mr.. Gary told local news
paper men that "he did not so much
mind the simple diet imposed on
him." but that he was not particularly
pleased with the physicians edict.

Waner was ever a menace to OPP
posing pitchers. He was fleet as the
wind on the bases and ball hawk
in right field.
There was nothing in common
&etween Waner and any of the other
winners of the National League
award. Dazzy Vance of the Robins
won the first award in 1924 on his
brilliant pitching record.
In 1925 Hornsby, with the Cardi-
nails at that time, won the award on
his offensive playing, but it was of
a widely different style than
WanerS.
Frisch Beats HOrnsby
Oddly enough, Hornsby was third
in this years election with 81 points.
frankie Frisch, of the Cardinals, for
whom HornSby was traded, was
second with 66 points.
Frisch did not receive a single
vote for first place, but piled up his
points on smaller votes, being we'll
near the top in almost every ballot.
Two pitchers, Red Lucas of the
Reds, and Charlie Root of the Cubs,
received one first place each. Waner,
received five.
Paul Waner's kid brother Lloyd,
in his first year in the big leagues,
was sixth in the voting with IS
points.
A young player and apparently
with many of the best years of his
career ahead of him, Paul Waner
undoubtedly will be a serious con-
tender for the most valuable player
award again.
Hornsby is another winner of the
award, who bids fair to compete with
the prize again. Unlike the American
League, the rules of the National
League do not bar player once he
wins the prize.

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-Paul Wa
ner, who has been voted the Ma
tional Leagues most valuable player
for 1927, is, perhaps the. most color
full player in the major leagues.
In his second year in the major
leagues, Waner won the prize with
70 out of a possible 80 votes cast
by the committee of sports writer's,
and whose decision was announced
over the weekend.
Waner skyrocketed to fame over
night. He came to the Pirates
from San Francisco in 1925 and in
his first year played sensationally,
batting 1856 in IA games.
Wins Batting Crown
The past season Waner won the
batting crown of the National
League with batting average of
1873, leading his closest rival, Horns
by of the Giants, by 20 points. Wa
ner also led in hits with 326 and
triples with Is.
Go back only a few years and
Waner was just a kid pitcher for
college team in Oklahoma. He
jumped all the way to San Fran
cisco of the Pacific Coast League
in 1921. He was only 10 then. He
developed a sore arm and it was
this freak of fate that caused him
to turn outfielder.
In 1924 he won a regular berth
in the San Francisco outfield and
batted 1856. The next season he
batted .401 and won his trial with
the Pirates.
First Outfielder
Waner is the first outflelder to win
the National League award. There
