NATIONAL AND AMERICAN LEAGUES ANNOUNCE AWARD WINNERS

The Alltime Allstar Association announced its top awards winners today. The Baseball Writers of America bestowed the 1902 Golden Bat, Golden Arm and Rookie of the Year awards.

The National League best pitcher was Carl Hubbell of the pennant-winning New York Giants. He had a great season with 22 victories and only 6 losses with a 2.30 ERA, which was the best in the AAA.

The top hurler in the American League was fireballer Herb Score of the Cleveland Indians with a sparkling 20-7 mark and set a new strikeout standard with 254 on the year and a 2.89 ERA. The BWA presented each of them with the coveted Golden Arm trophy.

For the second year in a row New York's Babe Ruth garnered the American League Golden Bat award. He had a fine year last year, but improved on it this season. He set a new AL home run record with 43, easily beating his 35 from last year. Ruth hit .317 with 121 RBIs and 122 runs scored.

Turkey Stearnes of the Chicago Cubs had a standout year and took the best batter honors in the National League. He finished the season with a lofty .343 average, second best in the league, and added 37 homers, 122 RBIs and scored 125 times.

In the Rookie of the Year category, in a brilliant freshman season, the slugging first baseman of the Pittsburgh Pirates, Sadahuru Oh, broke the AAA home run record with 44 circuit blasts in his first season. Ruth had held the record previously. Oh hit .302 and set new highs in the NL for 133 RBIs and tied the AAA mark with 131 runs scored.

The best AL newcomer was Boston's David Ortiz, who hit .277, drove in 104 runs, walloped 29 home runs and tallied 79 runs.
