estate Office has been looked upon as
rather unimportant and given scant
consideration as compared with the pro-
gressive development of other depart
ments. However. recent years have
seen a change in this respect, and
the rent department is now recognized
as not only an important branch of
the real estate business, but practically
the fundamental department which
really underlies the entire organization
of a real estate Office.
IF properly developed. 1t is a con-
slant income producer to the rental
broker and through contact with a
great many people 1t serves as an i'm
portant feeder to the other branches
of the business such as insurance, loans
and sales. When the gross value of
properties handled by rental office
of considerable size is taken into con-
Sideration it is Immediately apparent
that the millions of dollars of invested
capital represented by these properties
places upon the rental agent serious
responsibility that requires his care

THE individual rental agent occu-
pies at times a rather difficult posi-

the landlord, his client, and is obligated
to protect the interests of the landlord
at all times, he must be so flexible that
he can fulfill his obligations to his
client, but at the same time give an

SIX NOW ARE HELD

n YEW YORK, october 11.-Juries
are out in the cases of the
VI most valuable players in the
/ American and National Leagues
and verdicts soon will be re-

A writer in each city represented in
the two major leagues has mailed
rating Of the most valuable players as
he sees them to league headquarters
and the one named as the head man
will get $1,000 and have his name
placed on the honor roll.
The announcement can not be made
before the worlds series. 1t was not
always so. In 1925 Roger Peckinpaugh
now manager of the Cleveland Indians
then playing shortstop for Washing
ton, was declared the most useful to
his team and the announcement was
made with a flare and blare of trum-
pets, greatly to Peck's embarrassment

inter-league play has died away
very secretive about the voting and
only guesses may be made as to the
winners, the writer's in fact not being
able to make a guess themselves un-
less they go into a huddle and COM
pare notes.
Six Seen In Race.
Many suggestions have been made
of players in the two leagues worthy
Of the honor, but three in each league
seem to be leading in advance calcu-
lations Waite Hoyt's pitching was a
big factor In the winning Of the
Yankees third successive pennant, and
while pitchers are in the minority in
league has been honored Walter
Johnson in the American and Dazzy
Vance in the National. Babe Ruth and
Lou Gehrig are ineligible since they
have won It and the American League
rules do not permit encores. Another
favored candidate Is Harry Manush Of
St Louis Browns. The former De-
troit outf1elder led the league In hit
ting when he was Tiger and was
only one point out of the leadership
this year on the basis of unofficial
figures He was powerful figure in the
astounding jump of the Browns from
q AOWly oCCOLlu ONAoAOl bCA III w Jill "
place.
Lefty Grove, star pitcher of the Phil
adelphia Athletics, soundly and con-
sistently trimmed every club in the
league except the Yankees and his
pitching placed the AS in the compete
ton extending through the stretch to
the finish. The fact that the crack
southpaw could not make an impression
on the hcampions may initiate against
his chances.
Stars in Old League.
In the National League, Freddy Lind
Strom of the Giants, Jim Bottomley of
the Cardinals and Hughie Critz of the
Reds, all inf1elders have figured in pre-
choice discussion. Lindstrom's great
play. extensively and defensively, was
decided factor in the McGraw clans
success. Bottomley led the league with
runs batted in. the most important
feature of play The brilliant Critz
not only f1elded in his usual sensation
al style, having a large share in the
record-breaking number of double plays
made by Cincinnati, but batted we'll,
too.
Although 1t perhaps just happens so,
