"a writers-three from each league
city. The voting was on the basis
of IA points for first place. nine
for second, eight for third. and so
on down to one for 10th place. One

er HOWE Pollet with 116.

Eddie Stanky of Brooklyn with 81,
Del Ennis Of Philadelphia, 81; Pete
Reiser Of Brooklyn, So; and
last years award winner, Phil

ing Slaughter, Walker and Ennis in
the outfield, Musial at first, Stanky
at second, Reese at Shortstop, Hat
