Marlene ; Stewart, freckle-faced golfpr; from Fonthill. Ont h;is been acclaimed Canada's outstanding female athlete of 1953. The country's sports editors ami .-.portscasters left na doubt about that. In an all but unanimous vote, they chose Miss Stewart for the , third year in su'-ceinn. en--;..bling her to equal the three-year record Barbara Ann Scott set up in the late '40s when she i was winning world nnd Olympic figure-skating titles. Asked to name the three individual ' performers among the women in order of oreferenre, they hoisted "Little Ben" to the j top with 232 points in the annual Canadian Press year-end sports poll.

With spring training several months away, the third baseman has time to watch Terry pursue her artistic hobby in their Cleveland home. for a third in three years.
