Southside Food Market’s Red
Sox blasted the Lilly Ice Cream
Yankees 11-2 while the Marion
Pugh Lumber Company Cubs gain
ed a 7-7 tie with Conway Phillies
as two College Station Little
League teams won one and a half
games in yesterday’s play.
In the Red Sox-Yankee game it
was a case of too much Sox and
too many Yankee errors.
Playing a regulation six-inning
game, the Red Sox managed to
tally in every inning but the third
when after Lyle Broerpling gained
life on an error by Hardy Weedon,
Yank third baseman, the next three
batters failed to deliver.
James Couch and Wayne Thomp
son both struck out while George
Carroll grounded out, short to
first.
Initial Score In First
The Sox tallied their first run
in the initial inning when Carroll,
Red Hose first baseman was hit
by a pitched hall and pushed on
around on a combination of two
vvalks and a fielder’s choice—the
second walk forcing in the run.
In the second canto, Yankee
pitcher Butch Sheffield walked two
men, struck out one and then
passed two more. The fourth free

College View All-Stars Whip
Walton in Exhibition Game
By TOM ROUNTREE
Battalion Sports Staff
College View All-Stars took the
Walton Wasps over the hurdles
last night 10-4 on the lighted
softball diamond.
The game opened with All-Star
Third Baseman Harry Williams
hitting a grounder to Wasp Short,
Rawlings who scooped it up and
pegged it into first for the first
out. The next All-Star up, Gil
Bailey, got on first on a fielder’s
choice. Wasp Hurler Sonny Hollo
way then gave three big ones to
both Lindy Nelson and Richard
Arnold who both went down swing
ing to retire the side.
Wasps Fail Also
The Wasps fared little better
than the All-Stars had in their
portion of the first. All-Star
Pitcher Bailey struck out the
Wasp lead-off man, Charlie Lucas,
Lucas was followed at the plate by
Bob Fox who sizzled one to Bailey
who raked it in and flipped it
over to First Baseman A1 Fur
nace for the second out. Bailey
then took Wasp batter Jib Stevens
for the full count to retire Walton
in the first.
College View got off to a slow
start in the top of the second as
Catcher Scotty Davis grounded
out and the next man up, Mac Mc
Curdy, swung at air three times to
give the All-Stars their first two
outs. The ball game blew wide
open as Lester Smith got on base
with a hit and the next five men
in a row all crossed the plate to
give the All-Stars first blood.
All-Star Third Baseman Wil
liams stepped up to the plate with
three men on and blasted out the
only earned homer of the game to
sweep the bases clean. Bailey was
the next man up for the All-Stars
and got on with a base hit but later
died on second as Scotty Davis
grounded out for the third out.
The second inning was relatively
uneventful for the Wasps as they
managed to get only one man on
base and that was on a walk.
First batter was Marion Porter who
hit a ground ball to first base

where Furnace picked it up and
made the out unassited.
Rawlings was the next man up
and popped one up that was hauled
down by Pitcher Bailey. The third
out came when Wasp Catcher Ted
Ritchey whammed a grounder to
short that was shoveled up and
pegged to first in plenty of time
for the out.
All-Stars McCurdy and Smith
were the only men to get on base
in the third. McCurdy g*ot a hit
but Smith' got hit by a pitched
ball to take his base.
Walton tried to stage a comeback
in the bottom of the third with
Dean Blackwell getting on base
with a walk; Holloway with a hit;
and Charlie Lucas with a fielder’s
choice. Bob Fox'slugged one into
center field where it was hobbled
by Center Fielder Arnold. Hollo
way came on around the bases and
into home to score "VValton’s first
run on the error. Stevens and Por
ter then flew out to short and sec
ond respectively to retire the side.
Slow Fielding Hurt
Arnold was the first man up for
the All-Stars in the fourth and
laid a slow grounder almost down
the third base line which Wasp
player Quoyser was a little slow
picking up. As a result, Arnold
beat the peg by just a hair to
take first.
Williams was the next, man at
the plate and he slugged the ball
into a double to score C V’s only
score of the inning and get credit
for knocking Arnold in. The next
three men went down to retire the
side.
Rawlings made the first out for
Walton in the fourth as he went
down for the count. A one-base hit
got Quoyser on base with plenty
of time to spare. The second out
went down the drain when Ritchey
popped out to short. Blackwell then
got on as a result of a hobbled
ball and thereby forced Quoyser in
to scoring position. A hit by Hollo
way gave him an RBI as Quoyser
slid under All-Star Davis’ mitt to
give Walton another run. Lucas
then popped out to short and Wal
ton had to go back to work.
The All-Stars picked up their
last three runs in the top of the.

fifth with Arnold, Lynch and Tra-
week crossing the plate.
Waltonite Fox was the first
man up in the bottom of the fifth
but he didnY scratch as he hit a
blooper right into the center field
er’s mitt. Stevens then laid a beau
ty right over third base to grab
credit for a two bagger and stretch
ed it into three when Williams hob
bled the catch on the play.
Porter then tried to lay down a
bunt to sacrifice but popped out to
Pitcher Bailey instead and Stevens
was caught off base on the play
and put out to retire the side.
Bailey made the first out for
the All-Stars in the sixth by fly
ing out to pitcher. Scotty Davis
then, hit a ground hall right over
short’s head to get a base. An
other one bagger went to McCurdy
as he hit a Texas Leaguer.
Davis tried to get greedy on
the play and take third as well as
second. He was thrown out as he
slid in. Third out of the inning
came when Williams grounded out
to pitcher.
The sixth inning was another
dead inning as far as the Wasps
were concerned with their first
man popping out to catcher; sec
ond man got on with a Walk but
was thrown out trying to steal
second; and the third man ground
ed out.
Even Less Noise In 7th
Top of the seventh was even
less eventful for the All-Stars as
the first and second batter flew
out to short and the third batter
grounded out.
The Wasps came alive again in
the bottom of the seventh but it
was a case of too little too late as
they pushed only two runs across.
Blackwell got on with a walk
and was knocked in by Lucas who
picked up a one base hit. Lucas
was then driven on in home by
Stevens who got another one bag
ger. Rawlings flew out for the
third out and that was the way the
game ended.
Legion Nine
Whitewashed
By Bryanites
The College Station American
Legion baseball team was shut out
by the Bryan American Legion

College Station and gave up five
hits until he was relieved for a
pinch hitter in the fifth.
Pinky Cooner pitched four hit
relief ball the rest of the game.
Motheral was credited with the
loss.
Billy Arhps, Bryan’s southpaw

ticket forced Couch in for the sec
ond fun of the game and then Sox
hurler, Bob Potts drove in what
eventually proved to be the win
ning runs with a double to left
field. Thompson and Paul Hilde
brand scored on the solid smash.
Yanks Break Drouth
Sheffield scored the first Yank
run in the third when he singled
to right field, moved to second
when Thompson was slow in play
ing the ball, to third on a wild
pitch and came home on another
wild pitch by Potts.
The fourth inning was a night-
mare for the Yankees as nine Red
Sox players came to the plate.
With one out, Jimmy Simpson, Sox
catcher, beat out an infield hit and
was moved to second when Potts
blasted out another hit, this one
a single to center field.
Alton Arnold, Sox short stop
gained life on. an error and Jerry
Smith rapped one off Sheffield’s
shins for a single. Simpson scored
on the hit and Potts came in when
Broemling grounded out,, pitcher
to first.
Sox Score on Error
Arnold scored on a miscue by
Charles Andrus, Yank right field
er on a dropped fly off the bat of
Couch. With two men on, Carroll
whiffed to end the inning.
The Yanks retaliated with one
run in the fifth on four walks is
sued by Potts. He settled down
after forcing Sheffield in with the
final Yank run to strike out Jack
Stockton with the bases loaded.
Three more Sox runs crossed the
plate in the fifth on two hits, by
Simpson and Broemling, and three
errors by the Yankees.
The line score:
Yankees 001 010— 218
Red Sox 130 43x—11 7 2
Phils Start With Bang
In the other contest, the Phillies
started out like they were going to
make a runaway out of it as they
scored four runs the first time
they were at bat.
Fernando Quintero, third base,
waited out a walk, Gary Woodard,
second baseman lined a single to
left field, Johnny Niederauer, first
baseman who later pitched, walked
and Joe Brooks Thompson, short
stop looped a long double to cen
ter field to plate two men. Nieder
auer and Thompson later scored
on miscues by second baseman
David McNeely and Dicky Hicker-
son, first baseman.
The Cubs lowered the margin by
two runs as they broke the ice
in the top of the second. Stuart
He,Ivey, playing left field at the
time, lashed a single to right and
the Cubs plucky catcher, Dan
Keown, was given a free ticket to
first.
Edgar Feldman, Cub right fielder
also walked but the next two men,
McNeely and Buddy Holick looked
at third strikes. The Cubs ground-
eating short stop, John Martinez
blasted a double to score both
men.
Martinez Produces Again
In the fourth inning, Feldman
singled and after McNeely and
Holick fanned for their second
straight time, Martinez delivered
again, this time with a single to
left field and Micky McGuire, cen
ter fielder, followed suit with a
double to left scoring both runners.
It was a tie game after the top
half of the fifth as Hickerson,
Cub first baseman walked. Hel-
vey doubled to center, Hickerson
stopping at third, Keown walked
and Hickerson scored when Feld
man grounded to second.
Things looked bad for the Cubs
as the Phils broke the tie in the
bottom of the fifth. Helvey had
moved in from left field to take
over the pitching chores and was
promptly greeted by a single to
right field by Anastacio Herrera,
Phil catcher.
Herrera moved around on a walk
and scored on two wild pitches by
Helvey. Leo Grimalto who had re
placed Frank McCoy in left field
for the Phils was issued a vvalk
and he too, scored on a wild pitch
Cards Door Shut By
Hiller’s Neat Hurling
By Associated Press
Frank Hiller, a Yankee who got
away, is the new glamor boy pitch
er of the majors after his brilliant
one-hitter for the Chicago Cubs.
Hiller faced only 27 St. Louis
Cardinals last night, walking lead-
off man Tommy Glaviano in the
first and allowing a single to Enos
Slaughter in the fifth. Both were
erased on double plays.
Cubs Hit For Hiller
The Cubs backed up Frankie boy
with a generous 12-hit attack off
Gerry Staley and Al Brazle for an
8-0 win.
Hiller’s sparkler, however, did
not have as much effect on the
National League race as Monte Ir
vin’s two home runs for New York’s
5-4 edge over the leading Brook
lyn Dodgers.
Irvin hit Nos. 11 and 12 off
Ralph Branca to clip the Dodgers’
lead to five games. Branca took
a 4-2 edge into the eighth, thanks
to a leaky four-error defense by
the Giant infield. Don Mueller’s
single and a bunt single by Whitey
Lockman set it up for Irvin to
blast Branca’s first pitch deep into
the upper left field seats for his
second homer of the game.
The National League staged an
other of its “dawn” games, due to
rain interruptions at Cincinnati
where the Pittsbm-gh Pirates fi
nally edged the Reds, 7-5, in a
game ending at 12:39 a.m. (EST).
The Pirates got away on top
and had a 7-1 lead after six innings.
It barely lasted. Rain held up the
g.ame ’ three times—for 44 minutes
in the first inning, 52 minutes in
the third and 25 minutes in the
ninth.
Rain Possibly Hurt Chances
Cincy had the tying runs on
base with two out and 3-2 on John
ny Wryostek when time was called
in the last inning. When they re
sumed, Wryostek fouled out to
end the game.
Eddie Sawyer’s efforts to shake
the Phillies out of their day-dreams
by banishing Mike Goliat to Balti
more apparently worked in a 3-2
win over Boston in 10 innings.
Tommy Brown, Goliat’s replace
ment, scored from second on a
force out when Roy Hartsfield
threw wild to the plate in the 10th.
Casey Stengel needed two pitch
ers—Tom Morgan and Joe Ostrow-
ski—to shut out Washington, 3-0,
as the Yankees reduced idle Chica
go’s American League lead to one
half game. The White Sox’s sched
uled day game with Detroit was
washed out after half an inning.
Pinch hitter Cliff Mapes came
through with a three-run double
off Sid Hudson in a typical Yan
kee explosion in the eighth in
ning.
Hudson wilted in 90 degree heat
after allowing only three hits
through the first seven innings.
He faced only 22 batters over that
stretch.

after being pushed around to third
by two walks, given to' Jerry Do
herty, pinch hitting for right field
er Don Griffin, and David Phipps.
The score was knotted once
again as Martinez blooped a drive
to left field that went for a three-
base error. McGuire grounded out,
third to first and Richard Miller,
starting pitcher but later shifted to
left field when Helvey took over
the mound, walked.
Hickerson hit an easy roller to
second that was fumbled by Wood
ard and as Martinez scored, Miller
went to third. Helvey laced out
his third hit: of the day, this time
a single to left, to score Miller
with the tieing run.
Hickerson moved to third and
with one out, Keown lined to Quin
tero who made a leaping catch of
the ball and fell on third base to
complete an unassisted double play
that throttled the Cubs and rob
bed them of a chance to break up
the ball game.
Helvey Holds Phils
With shadows falling over the
field, Helvey got the first two Phil
hitters to strike out and the third
to ground out, short to first, to
end the ball game.
The line score:
Cubs 020 212—7 9 4
Phils 410 020—7 5 2
The tie will count as a half
game won and a half game lost in
league standings.
If you, John Q. Public, want to
see some mighty good baseball,
.make a trip out to the Little
League park. It is located just off
College Avenue, adjacent to the
Bryan Country Club and almost
within rock-throwing distance of
a park where some, if not most of
the youngsters will be playing be
fore too many years go by.
Youngsters Show Promise
The young ballplayers range in
age from eight to 12 and some of
them show ability to turn into
great ballplayers with a little more
heft and added experience gained
through growing up.
Another thing that is always
noticeable is the fact the boys
seldom beef about any decision any
of the officials make. There were
several occasions yesterday when
they had legitimate squawks com
ing but rather than raise a ques
tion, they would take it “like a
man.”
Activity in the Little League to
day finds the Giants and Cardinals
of the National and the Tigers
and Athletics of the American
clashing at 3:30 p. m. and 5:30 p.
m.
The next game for either of the
College Station teams is Monday
when the Red Sox tangle with the
Tigers. Tuesday action finds the
Cubs meeting the Giants of Les
ter’s Smart Shop.
