' One of the best tellers of base ball yarns was Don Overly, veteran vet-eran catcher of the Provo Timps and a director of the baseball club. Overly really waxed warm, when he started to, tell some anecdotes about Harry EisenstaU the; big league pitcher, who hurled for the Provo Timps during. ',.the "4945 season while stationed at Camp Kearns. ' " i Eisenstat and Overly became close friends while playing 'with the Timps and both had a great admiration for the other, so it is easy to' see why Overly didn't hesitate to talk about Eisenstat, when the latter s name was men-' tioned.- s "-: '-Vi He was really a swell guy," Overly began. "I remember one day after a game at Magna, he told us: 'I feci kind of guilty about getting as much a game as I do while you uys have to take a chance on a cut at ; the end of the season. How about letting me pay the bill on the dinners this time.' "By golly, before he got through, it cost . him about $30, That was'the kind of guy he was, "I remember when he first started to play for us. He told me that if he ever got in a tough spot to let him throw his slider. He told me: 'Get prepared for mything. I Just throw it. 1 don't know where it's going'. "The first time he threw the slider, it jumped up and then down like this (Overly made darting up and down motion with his right hand) so fast that I thought my eyes had let me down. "He really had a lot of stuff, and great control. He could put that ball just about any place be wanted to. He was a beautiful pitcher. "However, I call still see him looking wistfully at Hooks Iott. 'Ya know, he'd say, 'if I had that big guy's arm along with what I know now, I could burn up the big leagues.' " Overly told how he and Pete Olsen, who was then secretary -treasurer of the club, were tip-? ped off when Eisenstat first reported re-ported at Camp Kearns, and how they lined him up right under Brigham City's nose. I had somebody introduce him to me," Overly said, "and we got to discussing the possibility of his playing ball for Provo." He said he sure would like to play a little ball while he was stationed at Camp Kearns, but that he didn't know how longJie was going to be there.

By socking their way to success in the three-day clouting carni val that wound up before 12,452 fans at the Garden last night, the champions earned the right to participate in the Olympic try- outs In the same ring in June. While New York walked off with the team honors, California took second place with two champions. Philadelphia, Phila-delphia, Cleveland and Grand Rapids. Mich., took home one title each. Here are the champions: 112- pound Frank Sodano. Philadel phia; 118-pound Bill Morgan, Newark, N. J. (New York team); 126-pound Teddy Fittipaldo, Cleveland; 135-pound John Gonsalves, Oakland, Cal.; 147- pound, Eugene Linscott, Grand Rapids, Mich.; 160-pound Ray mond Bryan, New York; 175-pound 175-pound Grant Butcher, San Francisco; heavyweight Coley Wallace, New York. Gonsalves, a classy little leather leath-er tosser who was defending the crown he won last year, was deservedly de-servedly voted the outstanding competitior in the tournament. In almost effortless style, he out-boxed out-boxed Jim Winder of Pleaiant-ville. Pleaiant-ville. N. J., in the final round. For 18-year-old Winder, a knockout knock-out artist, it was the first loss in 32 straight fights. Utah's last two entrants were eliminated in the semi-finals. Gene Fullmer of Salt Lake City was eliminated by Winder. Jay Lambert was decisloned by Wallace Wal-lace In a bout that drew long and loud Jeers from , the' crowd when the verdict was announced. Lambert had Wallace on the ropes most of the way. ' . .

We actually lined him up before Jack Graham, who was playing ball for Brigham City, even, ev-en, knew he was at Camp Kearns. The next day IPinney had of fered Tiim twice .'as much as we had. but he told Pinney he was going to play for ' Provo - even though we had nothing but ' a verbal agreement and no written contract, j lit' '1 know you guys are willing to pay me twice as -much as Provo' Pro-vo' he told Pinney, 'but I . told Provo 'I'd pitch for them and that's where I'm going to play'! "Yes, he was a great ball play er, a great guy and an outstand ing gentleman." The mention of Graham sent Overly off on another baseball anecdote. As all Provo fans know, Graham, who is now playing with San Diego of the Pacific Coast league, was the batting scourge of Utah, while he was playing for Brigham City and Camp Kearns. Most of them also know how he terrorized pitchers of the Inter national league with his booming home " run drives while playing with Montreal before the war and that following the war he played for a while with the Brooklyn Dodgers and lateB the New York Giants. " However, there was one pitch er, he could never hit very sue cessfully, try as he might. That was ol' Spot Clegg, the ageless southpaw who turned in some real masterpieces for the Timps. "I- used to warn Clegg not to throw Graham any fast stuff," Overly said, "because he would sure as hell knock the" ball into the next county, if he did. "So Clebb would tantalize him to death with his slow stuff and sweeping curves ' until Graham would become so exasperated that he would yell: 'Come on, you blankety blank busher throw the ball in here. What kind of a bush lpaffii i fh! invwiv' " -- ...,7 . . s "But Clegg would stand out there on the mound and smile and keep throwing that slow stuff as Graham kept cussing and becoming more exasperated all the time because he couldn't beg, borrow or buy a hit off Spot." Well, Lee Christiansen, not Lob Collins is the manager of the Timps for the coming season, so it appears as if this column Is batting .000 in the "Prediction League," Apparently, I'm not in the same class with Drew Pearson, Pear-son, the. ace big leaguer in this matter of prediction. Consolation In the fact that 'I'm not the first scribe in the busi ness to make a bad euess and certainly not alone in predicting that Collins would manage the ball club again this year. There is always comfort in numbers they say. Although I personally am going go-ing to kind of miss Lob out on the third base line this year. I think "Chris" will do a highly creditable job as manager, especially es-pecially If he gets a break or two once In a while; ' . The grapevine says that "Spot" Clegg will crank up his ol' southpaw again this year and offer of-fer his pitching services to the Timps. Lefty Cole, vice president of the ball club and an all-time Timp pitching great, says if Clegg tries a. comeback he will try one, too. It is beginning to look as if Christiansen's pitching proDiems are over already. President Bob Bullock is going io iry io get xranic snone, v.io used to pitch and play the outfield out-field for Magna, He is 29 yjrars old and played with Beaumount of the Texas league last year, and has been working out this spring with Oakland of the Coast league. "He hit one of the longest home runs- I've ever seen smacked smack-ed at Timp park," Lefty Cole said Tuesday night at the board of director di-rector meeting. "He'll be a great addition to the team, if we can get him."
