Central currently leads the HOC and is favored to make it three in arow. And the Indiana Collegiate Conference title rides in “reverse at Muncie where Ball State entertains Evensville.

Opposing this are the 41,352 licensed shotgun toters who hate carted home 2,851 deer in their four years — odds of 20-to-l or about-- five times better than the chances of an archer. Season by season the scoreboard reads 1951 a total of 118 archers got three deer; 1952 a total of 117 archers got two deer; 1953 a total of 210 archers got no deer, and 1954 a total of 186 archers got one buck. , In 195 J. a total of 12,182 hunters bagger 1,950 deer; 1952 a total of 19,835 hunters bagged 1,112 deer; 1953 a total of 6,029 hunters bagged 81 deer, and 1954 a total of 3,306 hunters bagged 68 deer. During the first two seasons any deer could be killed by either archer or hunter while in 1953 and 1954 and again this year, the hunt has been limited to bucks with at least one forked antler. License sales for all four years have netted 33,155 from archers and >207,760 from hunters.

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Bobby Bragan Named Manager Os Pittsburgh PITTSBURGH (IN») — Misbehavin' Bobby Bragan promised today that he will be no problem to National League umpires during his first season as manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates. The soft-soken southerner who was born in Birmingham and makes his home in Fort Worth, Tex., was appointed to a one-year term Wednesday by new general manager Joe L. Brown. He spent the last three seasons making life miserable for Pacific Coast League umpires and turning in a first rate job of managing the Hollywood Stars. • Brown, who replaced Branch Rickey officially Tuesday, insists that Bragan was his selection even though he ’had never met the 37-year-old former major league in-fielder-catcher until he came to Pittsburgh Monday under an alias. “He has all the qualities a good manager should have,” Brown explained. “lie has the desire to excel, love of job, experience and definitely is a leader. 1 talked with many executives in and out of our organization befoje I called him in to see for myself.” Bragan said that he did not apply for the job. He was suspended during 1953 and 1954 and repeatedly fined both seasons for misbehavior by coast league umpired. But last season he reformed and wasn't tossed' out uotiltbe final game. As the replacement for Fred Haney, now- a Milwaukee coach, Bragan promised to reverse the policy of past years when the lastplace Pirates sent many able players to high classification minor league teams and tried to get by with inexerienced youngsters. "I intend to bring seven of my best Hollywood players to training capip,” Bragan said. “One <of them, pitcher Joe Trimble, q?nld become another Robin Roberts. Outfielder Bobby Del. Greco is surpassed only by Willie Mays and Duke Snider as a defensive outfielder.” He believes that veteran George (Red) Munger who was tried and found lacking by several major league teams can be of great help to the Pirates as a spot pitcher. He hopes that catcher Bill Hall, pitcher Bob Garber, outfielder Lee Walls ahd infielder Curt Roberts

also will make the grade. "I think Pittsburgh’s chief weakness •is a lack of power hitting. I’m hoping that Mr. Rickey and Branch Rickey Jr., may have several players in the minors who are ready.” Bragan did not seem perturbed at taking over a team that has finished eighth for four straight seasons. He said: "A friend of mine was talking to Leo Durocher recently and Leo told him not to sell Pittsburgh short 'bicause that club is coming.’ 1 have great respect for Durocher.” Bragan managed Fort Worth for five seasons before replacing Haney at Hollywood. His teams never finished in the second division. Hie six seasons in the majors were spent with Philadelphia and Brooklyn.
