Despite batting .326,. the 27-year-old Carty won the honor for his fielding rather than his hitting. HIGH AVERAGES are nothing new to Carty who has a three-year average of .323 highest in the ma jors. -He batted .330 in 1964, his first full year, and .310 in 1965. But Carty was not recog nized as much of a glove man until this past season when he thrilled fans with his great one-handed catches. HE ALSO displayed a strong throwing arm, often throwing strikes from left field to the plate. Carty will receive his a ward at the chapter's first annual dinner here Feb. 3. ALSO honored at that time will be Kansas City pitcher Jim Nash of Mari etta, Ga., as the outstanding Georgian in baseball last year and pitcher Pat Jarvis as Braves' rookie of the year. An award also will be given to the Braves most valuable player, yet to be announced. Bodell Defeats Ray Patterson WOLVERHAMPTON.
