Bizzell Regains
First Place As
Walton Falls 10
By TOM ROUNTREE
Battalion Sports Staff
Bizzell Bears slid past Wal
ton 1-0 yesterday afternoon to
regain a first place tie with
Dorm 16, idle in play, as War
ren Muery paced them by giv
ing up only one hit in seven inn
ings.
in the top of the first, Walton
loaded the bases on two errors and
a walk but could do nothing with
them. Muery picked up Mondshine’s
grounder and flipped it to first
lor the first out and then struck
out Blackwell and Marlowe to re
tire the side.
Walton loaded the bases again
in the second with three walks
and then the flash from Corpus,
Muery, came through again and
struck out two more men to re
tire the side.
Hollaway saved the second inn
ing for Walton as he struck out
“three men in a row with the bases
I^Aloaded to end Bizzell’s portion of
R Ahe second.
Y Sheffield shared a portion of
s ”»Bizzell’s glory with Muery as he
hit a homer in the fourth to give
the Bears their one and winning
run.
The only time after the second
that Walton scared the Bears was
in the seventh when they tried, to
rally and just couldn’t quite make
it. Walton had men on first and
second with two away and Quoye-
ser hit a ground ball that was
picked up and sent to third to
force Lucas out for the final out
and the ball game.
Pitchers Duel
The game was little more than
a pitcher’s duel as Hollaway struck
out seven men, walked one, dusted
off two and gave up five hits.
Muery’s record went seven K’s,
seven W’s and one hit.
The Milner Tigers no longer
posses even a meow as they again
failed to field a team. The game
,went to Dorm 15, 7-0 by forfeit.
In the only civilian volleyball
game scheduled, Dorm 16 received
credit for the game when Vet Vil
lage again decided that they had
• other things to do besides play
intramurals and didn’t show up for
the game.
Bryan Beats
Ag Keglers
3-1 Tuesday
The Aggie Bowlers fell in 3-1
defeat at the hands of the Bryan
Keglers Tuesday night in a match
bowled on the MSC bowling lanes.
Scoring based on the Peterson
point system, the Bryanites three
points came from winning two out
* of three games and by virtue of
one of their men bowling the high
est single game.
The lone Aggie point came in
the first match as they bowled
■a 775 to 764 to win it. In other
matches Bryan had 733 to the Ag
gies 731 while in the last match of
the evening, Bryan really burned
up the lanes with 932 to tlfle Cadets
815.
B. Loper won a point for his
Ilryan team as he knocked down
pins for a 224 total for high game
honors and he and teammate D.
Rhodes both had high series of 590.
Dick Lenzen had the high game
for the Aggies with a 205. He was
aided in the matches by Warren
McReynolds, “Red” LeFevre, Ber-
nie Hoefelmeyer and John Geiger.
Other Bryanites who contested
the Aggies were H. Vendel, D.
Thompson, Sgt. Dudley and W.
abinson.
Fishing for Numbers
... vy
Miss Effie Jean Fairbairn is fishing for a num
ber, not the one most guys dread—a selective
service number—but rather a number to deter
mine who gets first crack at tickets for the
coming football season. Mrs. W. L. Hoover
records the numbers drawn as (left) Howard
Nelson, ticket director and C. I). Ownby, business
manager of the Athletic Department see that
everything is on the up-and-up. M. J. Kasprowicz,
Brenham, was the lucky guy who held the post
position as he was number one man in folder 1-14,
the first one out of the jar.
Joe Louis Tackles
Brion in ’Frisco
San Francisco, Aug. 1—(A 3 )—
Fbrmer champion Joe Louis, shuf
fling along the comeback trail at
the age of 37, tackles tough, young
Cesar Brion of the Argentine in a
10-round bout at the Cow Palace
here tonight.
The return ring brawl between
the two finds Louis the overwhelm
ing favorite. He pounded out a 10-
round decision over 24-year-old
Brion in Chicago last November
and is confident he can do it again.
01’ Joe, who hopes eventually
to regain the title he held for
more than 11 years, is in fine
shape for his latest test.
Bucs Keep Perfect
Mark; Tigers Rise

tained and another record was
brought up to the .500 mark in
Monday afternoon play in the Col
lege Station Summer Softball

hind the twirling of Homer Adams,
maintained their perfect mark by
defeating Les Richardson’s Giants

Indians Make Bid for Junior
Pennant as Bosox Lose Touch
By The Associated Press
Cleveland’s onrushing Indians
loomed today as/ the chief threat
to New York’s hopes of retaining
the American League crown now
that Boston’s Red Sox are show
ing signs of losing their magic
touch at Fenway Park.
Continuing to rebound from two
straight lickings at Yankee Sta
dium, the Indians last night made
it four victories in their last five
games by conquering the Senators
in Washington, 5-3.
Move Into Second
The triumph gave the Tribe un
disputed possession of second
place, two games behind the
Yankees and one in front of the
third place Red Sox.
The Red Sox, in absorbing a
shocking 8-6 setback at the hands
of the lowly St. Louis Browns,
now have lost four out of seven
since returning to Fenway Park
where they were believed to be
well-nigh invincible.
Chicago’s first half season flash
es constinued to plunge downward,
dropping a 4-2 decision to the Phil
adelphia Athletics. The defeat, the
10th in their last 11 games, drop
ped the fourth place White Sox
a discouraging seven and a half
games behind the idle Yankees.
Bums Running Away
The arrival of August finds the
Brooklyn Dodgers sailing along se
renely with a nine and a half
game advantage in what is laugh
ingly called the National League
pennant race. The runaway Dodg
ers ran their victory skein to 10
in a row with an 8-3 win in Pitts
burgh.
New York’s runner-up Giants
kept pace with a 4-3 victory in
Chicago. Philadelphia’s defending
champion Phillies swept past St.
Louis into third place with a 7-5
triumph in Cincinnati while the
Boston Braves were shutting out
the Cardinals, 6-0.
Feller Gets 16th
Bob Feller,' baseball’s biggest
winner, notched his 16th triumph
as the Indians rallied for three
runs in the top of the ninth to
overcome a 3-2 Washington lead.
Righthander Don Johnson retired
the first batter in the ninth but
never got another man out.
Jim Hegan doubled, Barney Me-
Swimmers PlanNacogdoches
Defense of Gulf AAV Title
Coach Art Adamson and his
College Station tankers travel to
Nacogdoches this week-end to de
fend their title as champions of
the Gulf AAU District.
Approximately 40 members of
the College Station Swimming Club
will compete in the annual Gulf
AAU Championship Meet that is
slated to last Saturday and Sun
day.
The meet, which is to be held in
the Stephen F. Austin College Pool,
is being sponsored by the Nacog
doches Junior Chamber of Com
merce.
Adamson Ran First One
Coach Adamson ran the first
meet that was held in this series
back in 1932 at the now extinct
Plungers Pool that was located in
downtown Houston.
Nancy Hale and Dick Weick, two
outstanding junior members of
Adamson’s champion team, have
been suffering from ear injuries re
ceived at the Tyler AAF meet re
cently, but they are expected to
be in fine shape for the coming
event.
Van Adamson, Gayle Klipple,
Tom Barlow, Wally Penberthy and
Dave Bonnen are expected to make
a fine showing in the mens division
of this year’s spectacle, Adamson
said.
In the girl’s and women’s divi
sion, Ann Copeland, Gail Edge,
Kay Parnell, Louise Street and
Martha Ergle have been picked
to take honors.
Charlie Lyons and David Parsons
will handle the diving chores for
College Station.
Several Relay Teams
When last contacted, Coach
Adamson had made up several ten
tative relay teams for the coming
meet but last minute changes may
be made.
The men’s medley relay team
will probably be made up of Weick,
Adamson and Gayle Klipple. With
the addition of Tommy Butler,
these men will also compose the
fx-eestyle relay team.
The junior boy’s medley relay
team will be made up of Barlow,
John Robert Smith and Bonnen,
while the junior boy’s freestyle re
lay team will be composed of Bar-
low, Tommy Terrell, Robert Cle-
land and Stuart Helvey.
In the women’s division, Miss
Copeland, Miss Ex-gle and Nancy
Stevens will swim on the medley
relay team, while the freestyle re
lay team will be made up of
Mis@ Stevens, Helene Boatner, Miss
Street and Miss Ergle.
Girls Relay Teams
Miss Parnell, Miss Edge and
Linda Potts will swim on the jun
ior girls medley relay team and the
junior girls fx-eestyle relay team
will be made up of Miss Hale, Beth
Penberthy and Jean Penberthy.
Cosky walked and Dale Mitchell
tied the score with a single to cen
ter. Bobby Avila then drove in
McCosky and Mitchell with another
single to finish off Johnson. Avila
also drove in Cleveland’s first two
runs with a fifth inning one-baser.
Two big innings — a three-run
fifth and a four-run seventh —■
helped the Browns to victory over
the Red Sox. Third baseman Fred
Marsh was the big gun in each in
ning. He singled to spark the fifth
inning uprising and. singled again
to drive in two mates in the
seventh.
Carver Out With Injury
Ned Carver, Brownie ace, ap
peared on the way to his 14th
victory but was forced to leave in
the fifth inning after pulling a
muscle in his left leg. Satchel
Paige, who took over, picked up
the victory although he was shell
ed in a three-run eighth.
Hank Majeski, obtained from
Chicago in a mid-season deal, paced
the Athletics to their win over the
White Sox. The slugging third
baseman made three of Philadel
phia’s eight hits, scored three runs
and homered against his former
mates.
Don Newcombe hurled his 15th
win for Brooklyn as the Dodgers
hammered Howie Pollet and three
successors for 16 hits. Newcombe
starred at bat, too, with three
hits. Duke Snider and Pee Wee
Reese homered for the league
leaders.
Thomson Hits 2 Homers
Bobby Thomson drove in all of
New York’s runs with a pair of
homers in the Giants’ victory over
the Cubs. Jim Hearn was credited
with his 10th victory although he
needed help from Sheldon Jones
and Sal Maglie.
The Phils, still smarting from
Manager Eddie Sawyer’s tongue-
lashing on slacking, rallied for six
runs in the ninth to overcome a
5-1 deficit and whip the Reds, 7-5.
Del Ennis’ three-run homer off
Howie Fox highlighted the assault.
Rookie Chet Nichols hurled the
shutout for the Braves, limiting
the Cards to four- singles for hi*
fifth victory.
