This medal, cast from a special design by a New York artist for the National league, was presented to the champion batsman on Hornsby day, a great day for St. Louis fans. James M. Gould, president of the Baseball Writers of America, made the presentation. There were ceremonies at the St. Louis park, and President John Heydler was there to represent the league. ! In addition to the medal Hornsby also received $1,000 in gold. The Na- I tional league thus adds a material reward to the honor accorded its most I valuable player each year. |
