By MAURICE OLIAN Battalion CHS Sports Writer A torrid two-man battle for the batting leadership of the College Station Little League continued through Monday's games with the Marion Pugh White Sox’ Danny Feldman and the Black’s Pharmacy Senators’ Joe Olian both batting over the .500 mark. Feldman shows the way with a sizzling .611 aver age and Olian is next due to a mark of .550.

Olian and Feldman lead the league in base hits with eleven each. In xains scored, Feldman, with eleven, has a slim margin over his teammate, Harold Cooner; in R.B.L, Outlaw’s ten is bai’ely of Randolph’s nine. Randolph has the most doubles, six, and Berry and Feldman x'emain tied for the lead in homers, each having hit two. Feldman also has the top record in total bases, eighteen, and in stolen bases, six. Feldman’s slugging percentage dropped considex-ably during the past week, but he has a healthy lead in that department with a slightly fantastic mai’k of 1.000. Trailing him ai'e Randolph, .652; Berry, .619; Olian, .600; and Rush, .500. Johnny Williams, of the Sena- tox*s, boasts the top earned xom av erage, an amazing 0.94.

Based on winning peirentage, thi'ee hui'lei'S pace the loop with identical 1.000 slates. Feldman and Staxk have each won two games, and Godfrey has captured one tilt without a setback. Next comes Burke, .667. The three White Sox pitchers — Stark, Feldman, and Burke — along with a lone Oi'iole, Ross, lead the league in wins, each having posted two. A total of six hui'lei’S have tossed two complete games apiece — Burke, Feldman, Hagler, Howard, Olian and Stark. Ross has toiled the most innings, eighteen, but he is closely followed by several other “workhorses.” Feldman has pitched seventeen in nings; Howard, sixteen; and Olian, fifteen. Feldman maintains a good lead in strikeouts with his total of 23, which is far ahead of Ran dolph’s nineteen and Olian’s sev enteen. The first half of the league schedule comes to a close Friday with the White Sox having al ready cinched the opening half crown. The second half opens next Monday as the Senators battle the Orioles, and the White Sox tangle with the Red Sox in the nightcap.
