In one of the closest contests since the Baseball" Writers Association started voting for the players in 1931, Joe Gordon, spectacular second baseman of the Yankees, has

Gordon, bust of the W orId Series with the Cardinals, -+------------nosed out Ted Williams, lanky outfielder of the Red Sox, by 21 votes. The Yankees' infielder and Williams were named on everyone of the 24-ballots cast by the committee of writers. Gordon received 270 points while Williams'
Maggio, last year's winner, finished this time with 86 points.
Gordon, who gains the honer for the Yankees for the fourth time since 1931, enjoyed his most successful season. "He not only played brilliantly in the field, but batted .321, his highest major league mark.

Charley- Red Barrett, Syracuse righthander who was the only pitcher to Win 20 games in the International League last season, was named the most valuable player in, that circuit; it was announced yesterday.
