BY GAYLE TALBOT,

NEW YORK, May 24-The newest
of the middleweight champions is
Ken Overlin, a light-hitting but
clever veteran out of Washington,
D. c.
He won the recognition of the
New York and California commits
sions last night by batting the day
lights out of Ceferino Garcia, the
Filipino, before disappointing
crowd of $500 in Madison Square
Garden.
The decision of the two Judges
and Referee Art Donovan was unan-
imous for Overlin at the close of IS
hard rounds. Garcia, who won his
title by knocking out Fred Apostoli
IN the same ring last October, looked
pretty well used up at the final bell.
Overlin's Left Potent.
Overlin, who owns to 80 years and
is reputed to be considerably over
that figure, now disputes the l6o-
pound crown with AL Hostak of
Seattle, who is recognized as champ
by the National Boxing Association
as we'll as by host of friends.
There is only the slimmest possible
ity that they will get together and
argue it out.
Overlin fought a nice battle last
night. With fine left lab to the
face, a looping left to the body and
a sharp right cross to the chops, he
poured punishment to Garcia all
the way. The befuddled Filipino
kept his feared right cooked like a
sx-gun. but Overlin was too sly to
let him use it.
Garcia won only four rounds as
the Associated Press saw it, and one
OF those was taken from Overlin

Garcia hit the canvas for a count

Garcia's contract guaranteed him

days in case he dropped his title,
and he is cinch to demand It,

mystery.

eighth inning and the Athletics sank

The Yankees, who on Sunday were
only half a game behind Chicago,
slithered back into the cellar by
dropping 80 decision to the De-
troit Tigers and Big Buck Newsom.
This game started out as a home
run duel with Joe Di Maggie and
Hang Greenberg each hitting two
run round-trippers, but the contest
was quickly converted into a pitch
ing duel between Red Rufnng and
Newsom, who maneuvered without
further scoring until the ninth.
Ruf1ng was the one who weak

a double to Bruce Campbell and had
to give Pinky Higgins an Intentional

Catcher Bill Sullivan lofted a fly

For 10 innings this was pitching

Mulcahy went on to live up to his
nickname-"losing pitcher"
Hank Leiber hit q home run in

Newark's New Spurt

ToI.l. Leaders
Beers Again Above 500
After Victory in Four

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Somewhere on the Newark Bears
roster you can find several good
pitchers and a number Of lusty hit
ters. But the trouble has been that
they haven't been displaying their
abilities at the same time. s.
For the first couple of weeks Of
the International League season the
pitchers were doing well, but the
hitters couldn't keep up. and as
result, the Bears lost a bunch of close
games.
Then the boys started swatting
out a dozen or more hits a game,
and the pitchers collapsed. They
got together for one stretch and
Newark shot up into the first divi-
sion with a five-game winning
streak; then the Bears turned
around and lost five in a row with
three or four moundsmen toiling in
each game.
The latest squirt started about 10
days ago, although the weather has
permitted only five games in that
stretch. Only six pitchers have been
in action and, except for one 10
triumph behind a f1ve-hitter by
George Washburn, they have re-
ceived strong backing.
As result the Bears won four of
the five contests and climbed back
above the 500 mark on last nights
11-4 triumph over the Baltimore
Orioles.
This streak still hasn't made the
Bears a threat to Rochester, Balti-
more and Jersey City, who are sep
arated by only half game at the
head of the standing, but 1t indi-
Gates Newark may be a lot closer
soon.

FORT WORTH. Tex, May "a
Four years ago, the acclaim from
winning the national intercollegiate
tennis title still coming her way,
Kay Pearson decided to take up
golf as an off season sideline.
Today, the 26-year-old Houston
girl played in the semifinals Of the

with three of the Nations foremost
players.

she scored a clean, well-earned tri-

titles in 1885 for Rice Institute, Miss
Pearson suddenly started thinking

It seemed it was her heart more
than her golf game that brought her
victory. She had fine shots, but she
backed them up with positively
nerveless putting.
On the last five holes she was SO
