Run-Off Is Certain; Candidates Start
Making Campaign Noises Again
Luther’s Big Bat
Wins Championship
Final statistics compiled during
the past week in the College Sta
tion Little League show Mark
Luther of the Marion Pugh White
Sox edging Tommy Bramble of the
V.F.W. Red Sox in their hotly con
tested battle for the loop batting
championship.
Luther’s sizzling .446 was only
five percentage points higher than
Bramble’s .441. The Orioles’ ace
slugger, Donald Thomas, posted a
final mark of .340 to nail down the
third spot in the league. Rounding
out the top five were Ervin Todd
of the White Sox and Freddy
Wright of the Red Sox. They clout
ed .316 and .306, respectively.
Bramble collected one more hit
than did Luther, as they were far
in front of their nearest competi
tors in this department. Thomas
also finished third in this race.
Bramble Again
Bramble scored the most runs,
too. Billy Mac Miller of the Orioles
had the second largest total, but
he was only slightly ahead of
teammate Bobby Adams and the
White Sox’ Danny Feldman.
In the runs-batted-in category,
Bramble again was the leader, al
though he had only a slight lead
over Luther. Condy Pugh of the
White Sox was a close third.
Cracking out the most doubles
was Bramble, also. There was a
five-way tie for the league lead
ership in triples, however. In the
deadlock were Thomas, Feldman,
the Red Sox’ Ambrose Bernal, the
Senators’ Joe Olian, and the
Orioles’ Bill Berry.
Power-hitter Pugh was never
headed in Ms bid for the home
run championship title.
Bramble, Feldman, and the Sen-
gtprs’ Jim Fowler all had perfect
1.000 marks to top the loop’s
pitchers. Trailing them was Joel
Mills of the White Sox with a per
centage of .750. He was closely
followed by Miller, .714.
Miller had the best earned run
MUDDY EVIDENCE
OMAHA —IIP)— To Detective
John Zaloudek there’s nothing that
looks quite like Missouri River
mud. Assigned to combing schools
for boys who might have been in
volved in an accidental river bot
toms shooting, Zaloudek took one
look at the boots of one boy and
arrested him.
“I knew it was Missouri River
mud as soon as I spotted it,” he
said. “We questioned the boy an&
he told us the story.”
Four
Play
Local Netters
in Beaumont
Four junior tennis players from
College Station were among the
171 entries in the Texas Junior De
velopment tournament in Beau
mont July 23 and 24.
The four were Marie Lewis, Eu

Betsy Ross, seeded player from
Sonora and division B interschol
astic league state champion.
Eugenia Rush was beaten by the
top Beaumont entry, Joan Seale,
1-6, 0-6. The girls lost in doubles
to Nash and Michie of Terrell,
seeded number two players.
In junior doubles, Beasley and
Anderson lost 2-6, 5-7 to second
seeded doubles team Forrest and
Jung of Houston. Beasley was
defeated by Charles Hebdrix of
Nederland.
Anderson, seeded number eight
in a junior entry list of 48, sur
vived three rounds to quarter fi
nals. All seeded players drew
first round byes; Anderson then
beat Ken Rose of San Angelo, 6-1,
6-2, and Jim Moses of San An
tonio, 6-4, 6-1. He then lost to
Billy Dixon of Baytown, 2- , 2-6.
Dixon was seeded number three
singles and number one doubles
player.
The College Station entries were
sponsored by the Recreation Coun
cil and were accompanied by Mrs.
Norman Anderson, tennis chairman
for the council.
average, 1.32. This barely edged
Luther’s 1.38, however. The Red
Sox’ Fred Wright posted a 2.00 to
sew up the third spot.
Feldman actually had the top
showing, 0.86, but he did not pitch
the amount of innings required to
be eligible for the championship.
Miller also headed the league’s
hurlers in the number of wins rec
orded for the season.

Shivers, Yarborough
Express Confidence
By the ASSOCIATED PRESS
Gov. Allan Shivers and attorney Ralph Yarborough made
campaign noises again Monday in the cretainty they must
settle their race for the Texas governor’s office with a runoff
election.
Both candidates agreed with unofficial vote tabulators
that a second Democratic primary is a sure thing. The num
ber of uncounted ballots dwindled and Shivers’ small lead
increased only by fractions.
Both expressed confidence: Shivers that the conserva
tive Democrats who followed him in backing President Eisen
hower in 1952 will give him an unprecedented third term;
Yarborough that the “loyalists” who stuck with Adlai Steven
son will put him in office.
Returns to the Texas Elec
tion Bureau at 6:30 p.m. from
all 254 counties, 220 complete,
show the following totals for
candidates in Saturday’s Demo
cratic primary election:
Governor—Davis 16,062, Halmes
19,538, Shivers 650,919, Yarbor
ough 632,040.
Lieut.-Governor: Hinson 180,277,
Johnson 197,612, Ramsey 755,491.
Senator: Dougherty 322,175,
Johnson 840,287.
Attorney General: Crouch 223,-
199, Shepperd 897,727.
Supreme Court: Brewster 435,-
773, Keenan 224,275, Scott 302,563.
Criminal Appeals: Davidson
310,275, Davis 224,421, Graves
270,705, Haley 241,394.
No Majority
The 35,169 votes cast for two
minor candidates kept either Shiv
ers or Yarborough from getting a
majority. Arlon B. (Cyclone) Da-
yis of Dallas had a total of 15,874
and J. J. Holmes of Austin had
19,295.
A runoff primary is required
when no candidate gets a majori
ty. The runoff will be held Aug.
28.
Victory in the general election
automatically follows Democratic
nomination in Texas.
The Republicans also held a pri
mary Saturday, but there was little
evidence of interest in it. The four
GOP candidates for statewide of
fice were unopposed, so no tabula
tion of the total vote was made.
The only clue to the amount of
Republican enthusiasm was in
Houston, the state’s biggest city,
where 320 GOP votes were cast.
Two Texas congressmen were
ousted from office in Saturday’s
Democratic primary.
Final Count
The Election Bureau’s final
count of votes in the 16th District
in west Texas showed state Sen.
J. T. Rutherford of Odessa beating
Rep. Ken Regan of Midland by the
thin margin of 25,241 votes to 25,-
052.
In the 12th (Fort Worth) Dis
trict, Mayor Jim Wright of Weath
erford beat Rep. Wingate Lucas of
Grapevine, 34,077 to 21,930 by the
latest count.
In East Texas’ 3rd District, Rep.
Brady Gentry of Tyler hung onto
a slender lead over former Con
gressman Lindley Beckworth of
Gladewater. The incomplete count
showed: Gentry, 31,908, Beckworth
30,655.
Shivers’ lead over Yarborough
was 18,919 votes in the Election
Bureau’s afternoon count, an in
crease of 455 from this morning.
The Governor still needed to boost
it by some 16,000 votes or more
to stay out of a runoff.
That appeared impossible, with
only an estimated 45,000 votes still
out—all in counties which had not
shown a decisive enough trend to
give either candidate the advan
tage.
Paper Wanted
For Uniforms
A&M Consolidated high
school’s drum majorettes are
sponsoring a paper drive to
get money for new uniforms.
Mildred Dew, one of major
ettes, requests that anyone
with any kind of newspapers
or magazines to throw away
contact her at 4-4336 or bring
them to 1204 Foster. *
MSC Gets
Awaited TV
. . . Almost
The drive for TV in the MSC
has reached its end — except
for 30 minutes of work and
one part.
MSC officials said the tele
vision sets there could possibly
be connected today, because
only a small wiring job was
left. Also needed was a part.
Plans are to connect two
sets: one a console model in
the main lounge, and the other
a table model in the fountain
room.
The MSC-TV drive has been
going on for several months.
Bell Makes
Radioisotopes
Study
Dr. Rurel R. Bell, instruc
tor in the veterinary parasi
tology department, is in Oak
Ridge, Tenn., studying the
techniques of using radioiso
topes.
He is one of 32 scientists and
physicians from throughout the
United States who are enrolled in
a four-week course conducted by
the Oak Ridge Institute of Nuclear
Studies, a non-profit educational
corporation of 32 Southern univer
sities.
Bell and his classmates are
studying radiation measuring in
struments, the nature and theory
of radiation, statistical problems in
radiation measurements, and the
techniques of working safely and
effectively with radioisotopes.
Bell is interested in the use of
radioisotopes in diagnosis, therapy
and research involving diseases of
domestic animals. : Radioisotopes
—or “tracer atoms”—are by-pro
ducts of the atomic energy process.
They are particularly valuable in
veterinary . research because they
emit energy in the form of radia
tion which can be located and mea
sured at any stage of a complica
ted chemical, biological, or phys
iological reaction, allowing scien
tists to follow such reactions close
ly, Bell said.
