! Joe DiMaggio Is Selected Most Valuable New York, Nov. 28.—(UP)-By the margin of an obscure 10th place vote, joltin’ Joe DiMaggio of the New York Yankees today nosed . out Ted Williams, the bean-town bean-pole of the Red Sox for the American League's most valuable player award in the closest race for the honor in history. The two premier sluggers of the American League, both previous winners of the award, might conceivably have finished in an unprecedented tie, had not it been for the one vote for 10th that DiMaggio got, which gave him a single point in the balloting system used hy the baseball writers’ special 24 man selection committee. DiMaggio had 202 points. Williams, 201. The 24 writers, three from each league city, each voted for Iff players; rating them from one to 10 with first place votes counting 14 points, second, nine, third eight and so on down to one for 10th. The race for third place was just as close with shortstop Lou Boudreau, the infielder-manager of the Cleveland Indians, nosing out relief pitcher Joe Page of the Yankees by a margin of one point I — 168 to 167. I In one way, DiMaggio’s margin 1 over Williams was more decisive j than it appeared. For the Yankee I outfielder, who overcame injuries which threatened to end his playing career and led his club to a pennant and world championship, was given eight out of 24 first place votes. Williams got only three first place votes but picked up most of his margin on 10 sec- ’ ond place votes. Page received seven first place votes, while Boudreau got one. i First baseman George McQuinn of the Yanks, who placed sixth in the ! voting got three first place votes and the other two went to infielder Eddie Joose of the Athletics, who finished 11th. | Fifth place in the balloting went to George Kell, Detroit third base- . man with 132 points. McQuinn was next with •77 and others in the first 10 were Joe Gordon, second baseman for Cleveland, 99; pitch-
