Hockey Lions Display
Improved Form, But
Bow in Thriller

The Lions hockey team currently
featured at Uline Arena is not the
same one which quietly left town
nearly three weeks ago. The roster is
the same, and the Lions are only a
whisper out of last place in the
American Leagues Eastern Division,
but the boys are playing a lot diff
ferently.
They no longer are a quiet, easy
going bunch. They returned last
night to give>the mere handful of
the faithful who turned out a real
exciting evening. They lost to the
Indianapolis Capitols, 81, but the
score merely was incidental to a
game that produced everything con-
nected with hockey except a few
good fights.
The Lions as they now operate
are a fast-skating, extremely offen-
sive- minded team. They're passing
we'll and taking lots of chances
They aren't going anywhere in the
league championship race, but the
folk watching them are spending
enjoyable evenings.
indianapolis, too, put the emphasis
on offense last night and the high
scores registered by both indicates
as much. The Caps made good use
of the sleeper play, keeping man
out by theri blue line ready to break
behind Washington defenses as the
opportunity offered. At least half
their goals came via this route.
Both teams scored twice in the
first period and three times in the
middle frame, with the Caps edge
of 80 in the final session making
the difference. Pat Lundy was the
big noise for the winners, scoring
two Of their goals and assisting sew
eral others. He actually made the
difference late in the final period
when he stole the puck from a
Washington player in Washington
territory and passed to Teammate
Nelson Podolsky in front of the net,
who rammed it home for the
clincher.

Another Close Game,
Winning by Point

Marylands basket ball supporters
can stand just so much of this and
no more. Coach Flucie Stewards
boys will kill 'em all off with palpi-
tations of the heart if they play
any more close ones. Last nights
contest against Davidson at College
Park was the third tight one In a
row, with the Terrapins gaining a
hairline, last-minute 1888 decision.
Forward Johnny Edwards, who
has combined with Bill Brown for
more than half of Maryland's point
total so far, did the trick. He
stepped up to the foul line with the
Old Liners trailing at 57-58. He
missed the charity, but came
through with followup 2-pointer
as the roof lifted from above an
appreciative roar from 1000 throats
at Ritchie Coliseum.
Edwards was leader again last
night in the point getting with a
total of 16, the same as registered
by Bill Vanish. Brown came along
handily with 13 points to raise his
three-game total to At, the identical
total of Edwards.
Last nights win over Davidson's
was Maryland's first Southern
Conference test. George Washing
ton, in first place with three loop
triumphs, topped the same team,
57-40, Monday night.
The game was tight most all the
way. The Terps had 27-25 edge
at halftime, but the lead changed
hands five times in the final 20
minutes, with Whit Cobb, little
Davidson guard, doing most of the
point getting for the visitors. At
one time the Wildcats enjoyed a
40-31 margin that was wiped out by
Maryland'S late surge.

SPAIN S Mark Of 233
lis Best Earned-Run
Average in League
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 17-Warren
SPAIN, who came out of the Army to
astound baseball fans In the latter
part of the 1916 season, proved his
performance was no flash in the pan
by posting the best earned run aver
age among National League pitchers
during the 1947 season.
The husky 25-year-old lefthander
of the Boston Braves finished the
recent campaign with a 2.33 mark,
according to the final official aver
ages.
SPAIN, who won 81 games and lost
10, also pitched the most innings,
290, faced the most batters, 1,174,
and tossed the most shutouts, seven.
The lanky star yielded only 245
hits and 81 runs, of which rs were
earned. He also famed 1913 batters
in becoming the first Brave to lead
the league in earned runs since Jim
Turner performed the trick in 1887.
Moved to Braves In 1912.
Signed out of a Buffalo, N. Y,
high school in 1910, SPAIN prepped
at Bradford, Evansville and Hart
ford before moving to the Braves
at the tail-end of the 1912 season.
He entered the Army in October,
1942, and served with combat en-
gineer battalion in the European
theater, where he won three battle
stars and was awarded the Purple
Heart.
SPAIN was discharged in June,
1916, and shortly thereafter rejoined
the Braves and made the fans
throughout the circuit sit up and
take notice of his southpaw slants.
He appeared in "a games and won
eight and lost five and compiled a
respectable 2.93 earned run average.
Rookie Larry Jansen of the New
York Giants wound up with the best
won-lost percentage, 1903, thus be-
coming the first hurler other than a
st. Louis Cardinal to do so since
1912.
20-5 Record for Jansen.
Jansen won 20 games and lost only
, Tor the hOme-run hitting Giants
and his 316 earned run mark is the
seventh best in the loop.
Lanky Ewell Blackwell of the Gin
cinnati Reds captured most of the
remaining slab honors.
Blackwell finished second to SPAIN
In the earned-run table with a 247
mark. He won the most games, %;
famed the most batters, 1913, and
pitched the most complete games, %.
Blackwell also hung up a 16-game
winning streak and hurled the only
not-hit, no-run game of the Ma
tional's season when he blanked the
Braves, 60, on June 18.

Dick Poillon, blond Redskin triple
