Did they miscalculate his number of wins on their abacus or something? I would love to know why people didn't vote for him for that first class.
There was also confusion on the Veteran's vote. Voters were only supposed to vote for 5 players instead of the 10 allowed on the BBWAA ballot. So, the voters who chose 10 had their votes count as only a half vote. It resulted in no one being elected in the Veteran's vote in 1936.
