Sam Jones Os Giants Leader In Earned Runs CINCINNATI. Ohio (UPD— Sam Jones, workhorse righthander of the San Francisco Giants, was officially confirmed today as the National League’s most effective pitcher of 1959. League figures revealed that the 34-year-old Jones compiled a league-leading 2.82 earned run average to beat out teammate Stu Miller and Bob Buhl of the Milwaukee Braves in a close three-cornered race. Miller finished with a 2.84 average and Buhl had a 2.86 mark. It was by far the most brilliant year of Jones’ career. He had a 21-15 won-lost record, struck out 209 batters in 271 innings, appeared in 50 games, pitched four shutouts, had a nineinnipg one-hitter and a seven-in-ning no-hitter and pitched 16 complete games. Miller, appearing in 59 games and 168 innings, had a 8-7 record while Buhl, who worked in 31 games and 198 innings, had a 15-9 mark. Warren Spahn and Lew Burdette of the Milwaukee Braves were the other 20-game winners each finishing with a 21-15 record that matched Jones* figure. Spahn, who has won 20 games a record 10 times for a N.L. lefthander, was fourth in earned run average with 2.96 but Burdette had a 4.07 ERA that placed him xway up the list in that department. Burdette gave up the most hitk, 312, and the .most home runs, 38. Elroy Face, the brilliant little relief pitcher of the Pittsburgh Pirates, won 17 straight games and set a new major league mark with an 18-1 season record that gave him a .947 percentage. Fase, in 57 games and 91 innings, had a 2.71 earned run average but did not qulify for the “lead” in that department because he did not appear in 154 innings. Results Listed In Intramural League.....

Kentucky fns , Overtime lilt ■ Against Kansas By FRED DOWN [ United Press International Dtn’t count those Kentucky - Wildcats out of the national bas- ■ ketball picture! They’ve suffered two eariy-sea-son defeats but Coach Adolph Rupp’s boys bounced back with ' a 77-72 overtime victory over Kansas Monday night and now go on to the weekend Kentucky Invitational Tournament in which third-ranked West Virginia, fifthranked North Carolina and sixthranked St. Louis also are entered. A victory in that tournament plus a triumph over secondranked Ohio State, Dec. 28, and the Wilecats would be right back among the country’s top 10 teams —where they started the season with high hopes that this might prove to be one of Rupp’s greatest teams. Sweet Victory Fer Bupp Kentucky's third victory in five games was especially sweet for Rupp because it marked the 58year old coach’s first return to the Lawrence, Kan., campus since he won a letter on the 1923 national fchampioMhip team there. Kansas guard Bob Hickman 1 sank a game-tying field goal with only 20 seconds remaining in regi ulation time so after all those years, Rupp had to wait five i minutes more to win at his old i stamping grounds. Then free ; throws by Don Mills and Sid Cohen, sandwiched between a , tip-in and recovery by 6-9 center Ned Jennings clinched the victory. , Jennings was high scorer for Kentucky with 27 points but game honors went to Kansas soph Wayne Hightower who had ' 33 points. It wa§ the second loss ! in five games for ninth-ranked 1 Kansas.

Wrigley Field next season wiu be 1-30 p.m. This represented a change from the 1958 season when the games started one-half hour 1 later. Orders Crackdown On Liquor Import I INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — Governor Handley has ordered the Indiana State Police to begin cracking down on persons who buy liquor in other states and illegally transport it into Indiana. Handley noted that it is illegal • for a person to take more than - one quart of untaxed liquor into i Indiana. Anything more than that must have jstate tax stamps as- • fixed to the bottle. Police and the'enforcemcnt division pf the Indiana Alcoholic Bevsxxw larly bad during the Christmas and New Year’s holidays, since the alcoholic beverage taxes in some adjoining states are lower j than in Indiana - Handley said that it is unfair • to impose the excise tax on the : alcoholic beverage industry but '• permit evasion by individuals. ! Moreover, he said, such evasion i would result in a considerable . loss of revenue.
