hits and two fielder’s choice.
Spalding led off for the Geolo
gists getting on base as a result
of a hobbled catch by the Walton
pitcher, Hollaway. The next man
up, Ottman, sacrificed with a
ground ball to third but the run
ner couldn’t make it home. Frye
and Fowler, next two batters re
spectively, struck out after wait
ing for the full count.
Walton Scores Twice
Two walks and three singles
gave the local talent two more
runs in the second. The Rock
Crushers got their first run of
the game after Wysch got on first
when third baseman Quoyeser jug
gled the ball.

the top of fourth.

Major Loops Are
Settling Down To
Mid-Season Tempo
By ANDY ANDERSON
By Battalion Sports Editor
Baseball happenings over the week-end were beginning
to look like they were settling down to a mid-season tempo
with the struggle for supremacy being waged between the
New York Yankees and the Chicago White Sox in the Amer
ican League. The picture in the National is somewhat differ
ent.
It looks like at this stage of the game
that the Brooklyn Dodgers are going to
make it a runaway. They hold a lead of 51/2
games over the St. Louis Cardinals and the
Cincinnati Reds and a lead that varies up to
81/2 games over New York, Boston, Chicago
and Philadelphia. It’s not too late for any of
the above mentioned teams to come through
and with a hot streak, break into the lead.
Remember the 1914 Boston Braves who
floundered in the league cellar as late as
July 4, 19 games behind the leader and came
on with a fast finish to win the pennant by
several games, then trounce the Philadelphia Athletics in the
World Series in four straight contests.
The White Sox and Yankees played four games over the
week-end that took on the appearance of a slaughter for the
first three games as the Yankees narrowed the Pale Hose
lead of 41/2 games to a meager IV2 only to see the White
Sox come back in the second game of Sunday’s double-header
and slug them for a 11-7 win and increase their lead back to
2V2 games. The Yankees, in defeating the White Sox in the
first game last Friday, broke another White Sox winning
streak that had reached six games.
Maglie’s Win Streak Halted
Over in the National League, the longest winning streak any
pitcher had put together this year, was stopped when the Chicago
Cubs blasted New York’s Sal Malgie out of the box in the fourth
inning of the second game of their double-header. Maglie had won
nine in a row before dropping Sunday’s contest.
The St. Louis Brown’s have done something, that to most
people would not be very interesting. They’ve moved out of
the American League cellar, thanks to the double-trouncing
the Detroit Tigers handed the Philadelphia Athletics in Sun
day’s games. Splitting two with the Washington Senators
didn’t hurt the Browns average any either.
Here’s the way the teams stacked through yesterday. There
were no games scheduled in either league yesterday.

Meet Springfield in First Game
Aggies Rated Slight Favorite
On Eve of IN CAA Tournament
By RAY RUSHING
Battalion Sports Staff
Coach Beau Bell’s triumphant
Aggie nine left by chartered plane
this morning bound for Omaha,
Nebraska and a bid for the NCAA
crown.
Eight of the nation’s best col
lege baseball teams will square off
tomorrow in a tournament billed
variously as the “College World
Series” and the “Rose Bowl of
College Baseball.”
The Aggies meet Springfield
(Mass.) College Wednesday at 8:30
Legion Teams
Begin League
Play Tonight
The Bryan and College Sta
tion American Legion boys’
baseball teams will make their
bids for district 19 honors
tonight as Bryan travels to
Huntsville and College Station
journeys to Conroe.
As the season progresses each
team will play a double round of
10 games. Each team in the circuit
will play host to each of the other
teams once.
Clubs other than Bryan and Col
lege Station in the district are
Conroe, Navasota, Huntsville and
Caldwell.
All games will be nine innings
pnless the managers agree to play
seven at game time. A ten run rale
will be in effect at the end of
five innings in seven-inning games
and at the end of seven innings
in nine-inning games.
The Bryan nine will play a re
turn game with La Grange in Bry
an July 9 in addition to its 10 dis
trict games.
Games are scheduled for Tues
days and Saturdays. In some cases
Tuesday games may be played on
Monday or Wednesday, while Sat
urday games may be played on
Thursday, Friday or Sunday de
pending upon agreements between
the coaches.
p. m. in the first round of the
double elimination tourney.
In order to take the champion
ship, the Aggies must win a min
imum of four straight games. Since
each entry must lose twice before
being eliminated, the Cadets can
lose their first game and then drop
into the lower bracket and work
themselves up to meet the, winner
of the upper bracket games.
The Aggies are nearest to a
favorite in the coming event ac
cording to a release from the As
sociated Press. Advance picking
is difficult as best because of lack
of intersectional competition. It’s
even more difficult this year be
cause none of the eight teams
made the list of finalists last year.
A&M will be led in the grind
ing series by four all-District 6
NCAA players including team cap
tain and shoi’t stop Guy Wallace,
pitcher Pat Hubert, leftfielder Yale
Lary and third baseman Henry
Candleari.
Hubert, who- has won 12 of the
29 games the Aggies have won this
season and lost one, will be the
starting hurler for A&M.
The University of Texas ruled
intercollegiate diamonds in 1949
and ’50 and tied the Aggies for
the Souhtwest Conference title this
year. A&M was selected to repre
sent this area after the Aggie nine
whipped Texas in two of three
games.
“Tank” To Go in Second
Righthander Bob Tankersley of
San Antonio will probably pitch
the second game for the Aggies.
Outfielder Hollis Baker and catch
er Martin Hamilton may see action
in the first game.
The opening lineup will include
A1 Ogletree catcher, Bill Munner
lyn first base, Joe Ecrette sec
ond base, Wallacq/shortstop, Can
delari third base, Lary left field,
John DeWitt center field, Bill Mc
Pherson right field and Hubert
pitcher.
Other members of the traveling
squad are pitchers Sam Blanton,
George Brown and Sid Goodie;
catcher Hamilton; infielders James

By RAY HOLBROOK
Battalion Sports Staff
In their first post season meet,
the Texas Aggie track team con
tinued undefeated as they swamped
the field in the Texas AAU track
and field championships last week
end in San Antonio.
In winning the meet, the Ag
gies placed seven men on the 22-
man squad which has been select
ed to represent Texas in the Na
tional AAU meet at Berkeley,
Calif. June 22-23.
Aggies Will Travel
Aggies who will make the trip
westward are Jack Simpson, pole
vault; Bernard Place, 400-meters;
John Garmany, 1500 meters; Dar-
row Hooper, discus and shot; Bill
Bless and Bob Hall, low hurdles
and Buddy Davis, high jump.
The Cadets totalled 126 points
to take top honors ahead of the
Texas Athletic Club with 99 and
Brooke Medical Center with 51%
Prairie View followed with 38V2
points and Trinity University scor
ed 23.
Nine records were set and one
tied as Hooper, Aggie soph weight
star, won two firsts and accounted
for two of the new records. He
tossed the shot 51-9 and the dis
cus 156-11 for the two wins and
records.
Bless, SWC low-hurdles champ
for the Aggies, set a new record
with a 23.0 time in besting Hall,
former Aggie star and holder of
the SWC low hurdles record.
Texas Has Top Freshmen
Texas exhibited a couple of fine
freshman sprinters and each came
up with a record. Dean Smith ran
the 100 meters in 10.3 and Charley
Thomas sped the 200 meters in
20.6.
Place, runner-up in the SWC 440
for A&M, was nipped at the tape
(See TRACK, Page 4)
Dishman, Jerry Lasterlick and out
fielders Blanton Taylor and Baker.
By virtue of beating the Univer
sity of Texas the best two out of
three games and defeating the Uni
versity of Arizona by the same
method, the Aggies go into the
NCAA finals for the first time in
baseball history.
National championship glory
last came to Aggieland in 1939
when John Kimbrough set a stand
ard for Cadet fullbacks.
