BOATS ROLLS . made with / \ REAL FRUIT Q 59 CONSTIPATION Hornsby Most Valuable Player In League By Henry L. Farrell (United Press Sports Editor) New York. Dec. 24.—(United Press) —lt came as no great surprise that Rodger Hornsby, the brilliant manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, was named as the winner of the National League’s 11,000 prise as the most valuable player in the league. It would have been a surprise if Hornsby had not been elected by the committee of eight baseball writers as he was beyond doubt the outstanding player of the season, not only as an individual star but as a team player. There was some surprise, however, in that he scored only three first place votes and his other points on' two seconds and two thirds. Cuyler, the brilliant young Pittsburgh outfielder, polled two firsts and George Kelly, Glenn Wright and Dave Bancroft secured one each. The vote, as announced by James Gould, president of the Baseball Writers’ Association, was: Hornsby 73 Cuyler 61 Kelly 52 Wright ... 43 Vance 42 Bancroft 41 Bottomley 28 Traynor 27 Frisch 12 Roush 12 It will be observed that the world's champion Pittsburgh Pirates have three players, Cuyler, Wright and Traynor in the first ten and Max Carey polled eleven votes; the St. Louis Cardinals have two in Hornsby and Bottomley and the Giants have a pair in Frisch and Kelly. Some of the ranking under Hornsbv was surprising. Many critics thought that George Kelly, the a'l-around star

of the Giants, was the closest rival that Hornsby would have but Cuyler was second with nine votes majority. Cuyler perhaps profited by the notice obtained from playing with a ,'hanipionship team and in starring In the world's series. Kelly, who kept the Giants irom failing clear out of the pennant race, possibly sacrificed attention by playing on a losing team. Hornsby also benefitted some by prominence. He didst play so much better than he did through the previous season but he drew a lot of notice by managing a team up into the first division. | It was unusual also to see Frank Frisch, the Giant captain, and Eddie Roush, the Cincinnati outfilder, tied for ninth place. Neither was on his game last year, however. It looks very much like Frisch has reached the height of his game and for one of his year of disappointment. It was a tribute to a great player when Dazzy Vance, winner of the 1924 prize, was voted fourth place, just one vote behind Wright and it was just as much of an honor for Wright to land so high among the elect in his second season in fast company. With the exception of second and third places, there hardly can be any argument about the selections. Cuyler rooters will not admit that Kelly is a more valuable player than he is and you can't convince Kelly fans that he is not deserving of second place. SKINNY MEN Thin Men Run Down Men Nervous Men You probably know that Cod Liver Oil is the greatest flesh producer in the world. Because it contains more Vitamines "than any food you can get. You'll be glad to know that Cod Liver Oil comes in sugar-coated tablets now, so if you really want to put 10 or 20 pounds of real healty flesh on your bones and well and strong ask Holthouse Drug Co., or any druggist for a box of McCoy’s Cod Liver Oil Tablets. Only 60 cents for 60 tablets and it you don’t gain five pounds in 30 days your druggist will hand you back the money you paid for them. It isn’t anything unusual for a person to gain 10 pounds in 30 days. ‘Get McCoy’s, the original and gen-

Words would be wasted in argument because it's all a matter of opinion. The committee this year wont a step farther in recognizing an honorlist of players who didn't get enough voter to rank In the first ten. Those on the honor list were: Carey, 11; Meumn, u; Luque, 5; Grimm. 5: W ieat. 4; Donohue, 4; Hargrave, 4; Harper. 3; Sand, 3; Gautreau, 2; Aldridge, 1. Considering the votes cast it would seem tfiat an All-Star National League team would consist of: Catchers — Hargraves, Cincinnati; and Wilson, Philadelphia. I First Base —Kelly, New York. Second Base—Hornsby, St. Louis,. Shortstop—Wright, Pittsburgh. Third Base—Traynor, Pittsburgh. Right field—Cuyler, Pittsburgh. i- Centerfield—Roush, Cincinnati. Leftf. eld—Meusel, New York Max Carey received one more vote than Meusel bitt Meusel was the ranking left fielder on the list. Other players than those who actually received votes were placed on the honor list, after considering their ability, character, spirit, dependability and ability. I They were: Rixey, Meadows, Four-
