BASEBALL SELECTIONS FOR 1926 ANNOUNCED AFTER MUCH BALLOTING

Home Run King Dominates Voting—Pennock, Uhle * and Alex Named. Right in the midst of a bumper crop of “all” this and “all” that football teams, the Baseball Writers' Association of America has jumped through In the columns of Sporting News with their choice for an allAmerloan mythical diamond line-up for the season of 1926. Three pitchersa were named and one player for each of the other positions. Seven American League and four National League stars landed plaoes. One hundred and twentyone votes were cast by the baseball scribes In making the selection. Each writer voted an open ballot — that Is, each selected what he regarded as the outstanding players at their positions for the year—and the Australian system was used to determine ultimate choices. Babe Ruth, home run king, dominated the ballot with 115 votes out of a possible 121. Pennock and Uhle dominated the votes cast for pitchers and Alexander was third choice In a close contest with Kremer. The closest contest was for shortstop, Joe Sewell winning by two votes over Glenn Wright. Tommy Thevenow, was only one vote behind Wright. The second all-star team also prelents “a whale" of a line-up. Here re the outfits as selected by the baseball experts: FIRST TEAM Goslin, If, Washington (A. 1,.) Mostil, cf, Chicago (A. L.)

Th's pair surely worked together, Newlin getting 609 and Graff, 612. In the singles squad three of the boys reached 600 Wednesday night, with the 624 of H. Bohne being high and taking the lead in the individuals. Reynolds reached 609 and went into third place. Scherlng’s 600 flat was good enough to reach fifth place. F. Martin, with games of 216 and 213, had a wonderful chance, but a low third game stopped him at 586. G. O'Connor lost out when he sand wlched a 147 game between games of 201 and 221 for 569.

The National League, It is understood, wilt pass a resolution at its annual meeting here to extend the commissioner's contrart to seven 11101x1 years and increase his salary. The Ameriean I>anie owners will be forced to apppova the resolution. The American T>eague clubs are not so solidly in support of the commissioner as the National League, as there is still a faction behind Ban Johnson, president of the league, and the arch-enemy of the commissioner. The New York and (Chicago clubs, however, are certain to support Landis if there should be any differ cnee of opinion about retaining him in office or about retaining the office itself. Some of the club owners are said to feel that the present form of government was an expensive product of an emergency that does not exist now and that the game could be
