 CHAMPIONSHIP WON BY METROS
Verrikers Fail in Final At. tempt to Bring About
 ROllOff,

Coasting in on its two game edge Metropolitan Cleaners won the 1940-4l duckpin bowling champion ship of the Mercantile league last night when 1t took two of three games from Brookside Dairy, as the runner-up Verriker Painters won by the same margin from Fulton Mar kets. Jimmy Barber, high average man of the league, with 123.5 turned in three more strings that just about clinched the title for the Metros who cut down the Verrikers seven game lead and went ahead by two games to finish that way. Barber started with a i36 last night, scared to e 167 and wound up with @ 132 for 0 435 high three set, his single being two pins short of the 169 by Al Drexler of Fulton Mar kets.
 A 60l second game by Fultons spoiled Q clean sweep for Verrikers, which, however, would not have helped as Metros won two games from Brookside Dairy; including Q 644 team single and an 1882 total.
 Members of the league will gather at Botelle's grove at Bantam lake next Tuesday for the annual bowl ing banquet. Final scores and standing of the Mercantile league follows:

Ills odds come as near being official as anything you can find, and some of the money he gets Is a sight to see.

 New York - (UP) - In Florida, Texas and California, major league managers face Q difficult task In weeding out the l94l rookie crop. New names festoon sports page headlines and baseball's fandom faces an equally difficult job in un- tangling the newcomers from the veterans. ... !. The National League Service Bureau, skippered by Bill Brandt, has forwarded several of these nom. enclatural pitfalls, which during may trap expert and fan alike. There's couple of Olsen's, both with the Chicago Cubs. Erickson and Erickson are both right-hand pitchers but at two different camps There's pair of Stewards, both hard Uniting outfielders.

 stewarts Easily Confused
 The Stewats can easily get mixed. Last year there were two, Umpire Bill Stewart, and Glenn Stewart, Giant infielder. This year Bill is around again but Glen is with Knoxville. The future of the Stewart name among the players depends on how much Ed and Neb can make good their batting averages of .32o and .37i respectively.

Ry NEA Service

By NEA Service
 Atlanta.-Inasmuch as the Phil- lies paid the Athletics $7,500 for Third Baseman Bill Nagel, close observers believe they intend to either trade Merrill May to the Giants or convert Nagel into an out fielder.
 May is an established major league third baseman. The Polo Grounders could use one.
 Nagel going to the outfield would be protection against the likelihood of Joe Marty being lost in the draft.
 Nagel was the home run hit- ting champion of the international league, with . batting average under .270.
