Victory on Sid Luckman's Passing
By DAVE HOFF
CHICAGO. Dec. 22 (if) Quarterbacks? The Bears had 'em.
If it wasn't Sid Luckman passing, it was Bob Snyder kicking
field goals. That's the success story of the two-ycar-champlon
Chicago Bears that plus a couple of backs named George Mc
Afee and Norm Standlee.
The New York Giants thought the key to victory in the
National Football league title game was stopping Luckman. But
they didn't stop him. Sid laid his passes on the line to set up
the touchdowns that counted,
weather the storm.

While the 37 to 9 final score
indicates the 1940 champions
had an easy time repeating in
Sunday's titular tilt, it wasn't
quite a breeze. There was, for
instance, the time when the
clock read 7Vi minutes gone in
the third period, and the score
was tied at nine apiece.
Giants Lead at Half
The main reason the Bears
were in the running at that
stage was Snyder, Luckman's
replacement. Bob. booted three
field goals a feat no player has
performed in title play since
Jack Menders of the Bears did
it in 1933.
Two of Snyder's field goals
balanced George Franck's first
period touchdown run for New
York, after Tuffy Leeraans had
passed to him from the 31-yard
line. Snyder's third three-point
er gave the Bears a 9-6 half
time lead, an edge that didn't
last long.
For Ward Cuff, acclaimed for
many years as a field-goal boot
ing champion, laid one between
the uprights early in the third
period to tie the score, and the
13,341 spectators no one re
ferred to them as a crowd
weren't very sure the Bears had
the stuff that won 10 of 11
games and the western division
playoff over the Green Bay
Packers.
But where Snyder had been
doing the work, Luckman step
ped in for his share. He knifed
a 23-yard aerial to Dick Plas-
man and a 26-yarder to Johnny
Siegal, who wound up on the
Giants' eight. Standlee barged
over from the three for the
touchdown that sent the Bears
merrily on their way.

Pete Reiser
Cops Senior
Bat Crown
Brooklyn! First Rookie
In History lo Pace
National Loop Hitters
By GEORGE KIRKSEY
NEW YORK. Dec. 22 (UP)
Baseball veterans and castoffs
little and big men, bespectacled
players and almost every other
verlcty have led the National
league hitting, but it remained
for Pete Reiser to round out the
picture by becoming the first
rookie in history to win the
batting crown.
The 21-year-old Brooklyn cen
ter fielder, who was picked up
for a song by the Dodgers, cap
tured the batting title with an
averago of .343 for 137 gnmes.
according to the official averages
released Saturday.
Considering only players who
participated in 100 or more
games. Reiser won the crown by
a margin of 24 points as the
runner-up, aging Johnny Coonoy
of the Boston Braves, batted .319
in 123 games. Another veteran
Estel Crabtree of tho Cardinals,
finished in between them, but
he compiled his average of .341
in only 77 games.
Not only did the youthful
Reiser lead the circuit in batting
but he carried off the lion's
share of the other hitting laurels.
The Dodger speedster scored the
most runs. 117; hit for the most
total bases, 299; made the most
triples, 17; and tied with Johnny
Mize of the Cardinals for the
most two-base hits, each with 39.
The other individual leaders
last season follow:
Home runs Dolf C a m 1 1 1 1,
Dodgers, 34.
Most hits Stanley Hack,
Cubs, 186.
Most singles Stanley Hack,
Cubs, 141.
Most stolen bases Dan Mur
tugh, Phillies. 18.
Most sacrifices Marty
Marion, Cards, 28.
Most times at bat Johnny
Rucker, Giants, 622.
Mel Ott, new Giants manager,
hit 27 home runs lost season,
bringing his life-time total to
419, more than any other Na
tional leaguer ever hit. Frank
McCormick, Reds' first baseman.
by puaying in all his team s 154
games, extended his consecutive
games streak to 616.

The Hershey, Pa., mighty mite

Lean Henry Picard held to
the leadership as the field swung
into the stretch but Hogan's
blazing 65 six under par
in yesterday's 18 holes warned
the Oklahoma City professional
he had a fight on his hands to
the last putt.
It pushed Hogan Into a tie
for third place with four others,
all five strokes back of Picard
who had a 64-67131.
