Fine Rally by Overlin
Takes Bout From Brown

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Dec. 16-
Nose Brown, Negro slugger who
twice kayoed Jimmy Webb and
ruined his hopes of gaining the
light-heavyweight title, was just
another fighter to Ken Overlin, for
mer middleweight champion, last
night as the Congo Kid won a
unanimous 10-round decision.
Brown landed several damaging
blows and seemed to have Overlin
ready for the finishing touch, only
to have Ken bounce back and take
the play away from him. 1t was
Overlin's second triumph over
Brown.

bolster what Mackenzie has con-

Dickey Due for Release.
Overstocked with goalies at the

will release the improving Leith
Dickie to some other Eastern ANA
teur League club to enable him to
play regularly. Carl Howell prob
ably will be retained as McClelland's S
understudy.
That business Of being the spare
goane on an ice hockey team may
not be the worlds softest job, but
it'll do until somebody offers a soar
ing salary for punching zeros in
doughnuts. Howell has been hang

exercising his eyes watching Dickie
perform in the net.
Mackenzie relishes goalies who
order fllet mignons in the shape of
pucks. He eats and sleeps the game
himself and can't tolerate a goalie
who doesn't share that attitude
Dickie, while improving, hasn't been
enthusiastic enough about his chores
to tickle the boss.
McClelland several years ago was
spotted as bright prospect by the
Detroit Red Wings of the National
League. He was farmed to Muske-
gon of the Michigan-Ontari League

Hunters Success Is Only Fair
In Forest Drives in Virginia

The figures were given by Hunter
H. Garth of Farmville, district

Lynchburg, field biologist for the

Most of the hunting was in the

FARMVILLE, Va, Dec. 16.-A
total of 288 hunters got SO wild
turkeys, 95 quail, 28 squirrels, %
rabbits, 2 foxes and 2 coons in the
second annual six-day hunt in three
States forests around Farmville.
Actually, the open season for
hunting in the State forests was cut
to five days this year by heavy rain
and sleet on the past Saturday.
Checking stations reported not a
single hunter that day in the forests
covering 38,517 acres.
The kill this year was under that
of the first hunt in 1910 when 497
hunters got 43 turkeys, 204 quail, SO
rabbits and 26 squirrels.

22-Ti|t Winner Shows
An Average Yield Of
237 Earned Runs
Once-Scorned CurrusqueI
Is Mats Top Pitcher
On Similar Bosis

Ale eldnGrO CdrraSQuel, with the
Mats last season chiefly because he
couldn't make the grade with Jersey
City of the International League in
1910, was Washington's most effec-
tive pitcher in 1941, it is revealed
today with the release of official
American League pitching records.
Threatened with the loss of his
lob after his first pitching assign
ment last season and thereafter
relegated mainly to relief chores
Carrasquel had an earned-run aver
age of 3.43 in winning six games and
losing two. He was not credited with
a victory over the Boston Red SoX,
whom he defeated, due to protest
that reversed the decision.
CarraSQuel now has won II games
and lost i3 in three years with the
Mats, who haven't finished higher
than sixth over that span. Shipped
to Jersey City on trial two seasons
ago, he didn't display enough to
warrant retention. He returned to
the Mats and won six games and
lost two, which he duplicated in l941.
CarraSqueTs earned-run average
placed him 10th among the leagues
pitchers, with Dutch Leonard taking
18th with an average of 3.45. Sid
Hudson was 18th with 3.46, with the
remainder of the Washington staff
well down the list.
Lee Is Real Leader.
Tops in the earned-run depart
ment was Johnny Humphries of the
White Sox, who won only four games
and lost two. with an 1.85 average,
but among the big winners it was
Thornton Lee of Chicago, who cap
tured honors with an average of
237. Nominally fourth, behind
Humphries, Johnny Murphy of the
land, Lee, who won % games and
lost II, is recognized as the real
leader.
Bob Feller of Cleveland, 1910
leader, with a 262 earned-run aver
age, dropped to 10th in l941 with
a 3l5 figure, but led in victories,
with IS against 13 defeats. Lee and
Feller were the only 20-game win
ners in the league in 194l, although
young Heber Newsome of Boston
won 19 games and lost 10.
The comeback of the year among
pitchers was authored by Lefty
Gomez Of the Yankees, who won 3
and lost in 1910, while failing to
complete a game. Last season he
won IS and lost for 750 average.
Strikeouts Don't Help Newsom.
Disappointment No. l of the year
was burly Buck Newsom of the De-
troit Tigers. Buck won q games
and lost only 5 in 1910, but last sea-
son won II games and lost 20. His
earned-run average of 4.61 is testi-
mony he was pounded freely, de-
spite his ITS strikeouts, which placed
him second. Leader in the strikeout
department was Feller, of course,
with 260.
Feller pitched 343 innings and Lee
pitched 300 marking the first time
since 1927 that two American League
pitchers worked 300 or more innings.
Lefty Grove of Boston became the
second American League pitcher to
win 300 games during his career
and the 18th in major league his
tory. Another notable event in the
1941 season was Clint Browns per-
formance in increasing his consecu-
tive relief games record to 213, a new
major league record. Brown started
his last game on August 18, 1896.

which club he now is toiling.

The modern equivalent of the 1890 ball

Webster. in his dictionary. further defines
a party as The plaintiff or the defendant

for the over-optimism Of his first definition.

then the defendant went on a kind Of sit
down strike in the alimony jail. and at length
the plaintiff through her lawyer, Sidney l.

The woman went into a different room

realizing that the defendant was drunk, sought
to gently dissuade him to turn his attentions
elsewhere whereupon the defendant tried to
hit this and to pick fight with him

aver that it was done in the presence of Mr..
and Mrs Miller in a spirit of levity with the
assent of the lady in question, who suggested
that we play the child game, tic-tac-toe"
Tic-tac-toe is not only one Of those games
which you have to feel pretty well to enjoy,
but also one whose name has never made
much sense. Mr.. Posner in working out this
new version may have corrected both these
shortcomings At least it can hardly be
denied that the field on which he elected to
play the game might add TO its general inter
est. and, of course once it got down to the
feet there would be pretty good reason to
call it tic-tac-toe.
BY no means all the Posner parties took
a lot of entertaining themselves both on
so-called dry land and at sea. In an interview
