Yankees managed to get an even break in their double-header with the Senators in the Stadium yesterday, and, as a result, the Bronx Brigade end e d their home stand by maintaining their two-game lead; Whitewashed for the first time since-May 14 by Milo Candini in the first game, 8 to 0, the Yankees scored four unearned runs in the third inning to win the nightcap, 4 to O.

IF EXPERIENCE 15 (he best t.,..-t",!r, there is no reason to expect Joe McCarthy to be a good loser The last world series he lost belore the one just closed was to the Athletics In 1929 when ne managed the Cubs. In the it tezim Joe had won six. Yet, I've never sam a man accept deteat-, '19fl! graciously than did Marse Joe, when the cardinals clinched viltory Monday. Class is o~ thing YOU can't deCeat and Joe has plQ1ty of It.

Cordon Wins' Player Prize; Williams·lnd

batted a humiliating .095, had the misforune of being out of position on a play that cost the Yanks the second game and was nailed off second base to ruin a ninth inning rally in the fifth and final game.

The 270 points represented the smallest received by an A. L. player since the new voting systern W8,S inaugurated in 1938. This" scoring "provides 14 points for first place votes, nine for second, eight for third and so on to one for tenth.

Gordon will receive the Sport-

ing News award for being named. 1-----1

Gordon, second Yankee player to gain this distinction in two successive seasons, (DiMaggio

_ won it in 1941Y, was the first choice of 12 of the writers. Williams was the first selection of nine writers.

Both Gordon and Williams received eight second place votes. Gordon was given three threeplace votes and one fifth, while Williams "received four thirdplace votes, two fourth place and one fifth_

Aside from the close contest i-tt.r-ltire top honors, the balloting this year in the A. L. was marked

_ by the naming for third and fourth places of two first year rookie infielders-Johnny Pesky, of the Red Sox and Vernon Stephens, of the Browns. Both

shortstops whose brilliant per. ances enabled their teams to finish second and third, respectively.

Ernie Bonham, best winner on the Yanks' hurling staff, ranked fifth, last of the players to receive 100 or more points. Tex Hughson, 22-game winner of the Red Sox, was sixth, while Joe Di-

. By CHARLES SEGAR.

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

been named the Most Valuable Player in the American League last season. "

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'

total was 249. -

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.

GORDON THE "GOAT."

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. He was given 46 out of a possible 64 votes. Barrett is the first Syracuse player ever to win the award. Hank Majeski, Newark third sacker, was second, with 44 votes and Gene Moore, Montreal outfielder, was" third with 40.

As in the case of Morton Coop, I er, the Cards' pitcher who was ' named in the National League and who was ~ bust in the series, the I voting had been 'completed before

the Fall classic. Gordon was the ,---Yankee goat in the series. He
