STOVE LEAGUE chatter picked out from American ‘Association statistics by the league’s press bureau: The pennant race of 1940 might have been a different story for the fifth-place St. Paul Saints, had the circuit’s directors adopted a rule that all games must go extra
innings. : b Following in order were the pennant-winning Kansas City Blues, third-place Minneapolis, second-place Columbus,” last-place Milwaukee, fourth-place Louisville, sixth-place Indianapolis and seventhlace Toledo. pA The league engaged in 62 extra-canto affairs during the season, " which, although 10 short of the record set in 1910, was 18 more than the 44 recorded in 1939. ; The Columbus Red Birds were forced to labor overtime more often than any other club, participating in "20 contests which extended beyond the regulation length. . . . Toledo and Milwaukee took part in 17, Minneapolis in 16, Indianapolis in 15, Kansas City in 14, St. Paul in 13, and Louisville in the least number, 12. The Saints, in setting the pace for the league won nine and lost but four overtime melees for a percentage of .692. . . . Kansas City won eight, lost four and engaged in two ties, for .667. . . . Minneapolis took the long end of the count 10 times, lost six for .625 and Columbus won 11, lost seven and tied a pair for .611.
Milwaukee captured seven, dropped nine and tied one for .438,
while Louisville was winning five and losing seven for 417. . . . Indianapolis took six out of 15 decisions for .400 but Toledo snared only three victories and a tie in 15 games for .188.

Figure 8 Puts Butler Behind
Bulldogs Find Pitt's Malarkey Too Much
Relegated to the rear of the eight-ball by an offense of the same name, Coach Tony Hinkle was willing to concede today that the game of basketball may be just a lot of “Malarkey.” | And all this because his Butler basketball team took another one on the chin last night when Pittsburgh’s Smoky City five screened the Butler backboard and strolled away from the Fieldhouse with a 41-10-40 hairline victory. It was Butler's second successive defeat and its third of the season as against two triumphs. Meanwhile the game fattened Pitt's game winning percentage against Midwestern teams 750. The Panthers completed a four-game swing, winning over Illinois, Wisconsin and Butler and losing by 20 points to Northwestern, whom Butler defeated, 32 to 30, last week.
Both Make 17% Field Goals
Both teams last night connected for 17 field goals but it wag apparent that Pitt took more care with less effort. The Panthers put on a ball handling display, wasting not too many shots, but instead working for open attempts underneath by way of their never-ending figure-eight offense. : Butler relied mostly on its set formations and long range shooting to keep pace. The Bulldogs took 75 whacks at the backboard while Pitt fired 51 times. At the free throw line, always a nemesis to Butler, the Bulldogs faltered again, making only six of 14 attempts. Pittsburgh made seven of its 11 tries. Butler’s captain, Bob Dietz, led all individual scorers for the first time this season with 14 points. Jim Klein with 11 and Mel Port with 10 topped Pitt scorers. Meet the Redheads!
‘Klein and Port built up a 7-to-2 lead before Butler recovered with Lyle Neat and Wilbur Schumacher hitting from far court. Dietz tapped in a rebound to knot the score at 9-all and then added six points to pace Butler to 4 slim 23-to-21 lead at the half. Pitt had sped away to an eight-point lead when Hinkle substituted his two “reds,” -Fred Hunckler and Harold Braden who opened the throttle in the last few minutes of the first period. After Dietz leveled the score at 21all, Hunckler and Braden displayed typical Hoosier fire department ball, race-passing down the floor with Braden taking a short pass underneath to score. : Dietz and Hunckler remained ahead of Pitt's whirligig offense at the start of the final half until Port

Too Much Malarkey
Ziolowski made a free throw and Neat, Schumacher and Hunekler countered with six points to give the Bulldogs their biggest lead of the game. Pittsburgh began mixing its rotating offense with long shots and commanded a 40-t0-37 lead with several minutes to play. _ It was then that Mr. Malarkey made an unusual debut upon the hardwood stage. For a moment the 2000 fans thought they were witnessing a hockey match. Jim MeCray, Butler guard who had been having a devilish time of putting the ball in the hoop, broke up Pitt’s offense by stealing the ball and went for the Butler backboard for a goal that may have brought the Bulldogs within striking dis-

- They may look exactly the same, may have the same care lavished on them, but there ‘will always be slight variations in the way they carry the ball. I have found alleys which had a definite groove, worn into the finish by repeated use, on which it was a cinch to roll the ball the same way every time. It is easier to roll a hook ball on an alley with just a little -dirt on its surface than on a perfectly clean alley, because dirt makes the ball “bite” better. It would be ideal if all alleys were identical, but since they are not, the bowler must learn to adapt his delivery to conform to varying conditions. For once he has let go of the ball, things are out of his control, regardless of how much he may twist his body or his mouth. ~The spot bowler will have little trouble in adapting his delivery to the alley on which he is competing. : By taking a few practice rolls he will find the Dietz place on the alley for which he should aim. ] ._ After he has found the spot, he should make a |Neat.g check-up on his speed ang angle to find whether the ball is hitting the pocket just right.

Port and John Petrie, Butler reserve, exchanged free throws and Dietz drove underneath for the game’s final scores.
