He still leads the loop with a mark of .500, but the White Sox’ Danny Feldman is applying the pressure with his .455 batting average. The White Sox’s 10-year-old catcher, Jimbo Bevans, is next with a mark of .394, and he is followed by the Orioles’ Larry Randolph .378; Jody Rush, of the Senators, .355; a pair of Orioles, Bill Berry and George Outlaw, both at .333; the Senators’ Harry Lewis, .321; the Orioles’ Jackie Ross, .316; and the Red Sox’s lone player in the top fen, Thomas Taylor, .282. Randolph’s sevlen doubles are tops in the league in that depart ment, with the Red Sox’ Jack Fugate next, having four. Out law paces the loop in homers with three, but Berry and Feldman each have two. Olian and Berry each have stolen nine bases to lead the league. Olian is. first in base hits, 20, and Randolph is next with 17. Outlaw and Feldman have 16 runs apiece to hold a slim margin over several players. In runs-batted- in, Outlaw’s 16 is barely ahead of Randolph’s 15 and Olian’s 14. Ran dolph has 27 total bases and Olian is next with 25. A torrid race is being waged for the top slugging percentage, Feldman has a terrific .697, and behind him, several are closely bunched. In order are Olian, .625; Outlaw, .611; Randolph, .600; and Berry, .548. In the battle for the league’s ERA supremacy, the Orioles’ Fur man Isbell leads with a sparkling 0.86, but he has pitched only seven innings. Of the hurlers who have toiled fifteen or moi’e innings, Olian is in front with 1.20, and he is trailed by the White Sox John Stark, 1.30; Johnny Williams, Bill Bruton, Milwaukee center fielder, has led the National League in stolen bases in each of three seasons with the Braves. of the Senators, 1.38; and the Red Sox’ Ricky Howard, 2.45. Based on percentage of games won and lost, Isbell leads with his 1-0 record. He is followed by Stark and Williams, both having 3-1 slates, and Feldman and the Senators’ Larry Godfrey, both 2-1 for .667. Howard, Stark, Randolph, and Williams all have pitched three complete games to pace the loop. In innings pitched, Olian has 25 and Stark, 23. Feldman still leads in strike-outs, 39, but he has some stern competition from Randolph, 35, and Olian, 31. The second-half pennant race was turned into a real scrap when the Orioles blanked the Senators 10-0 Monday ' night in a rain- shortened melee. The loss dump ed the Senators into a first-place tie with the White Sox, both clubs having 2-1 records. Then, in or der, come the Orioles, 2-2, and the Red Sox, 0-2. Friday’s twin-bill pits the Red Sox against the Senators in the day game and the White Sox ver- sus the Orioles in the night con- I test. Junior Rowling Interest On Increase Junior bowlers from the Colleg-e Station - Bryan area now number 92, an increase of 44 Over last year’s MSC summer bowling- league, said John Geiger, manager of the Bowl ing and Games Room of the MSC. The young keglers vary in age from 8-16 and are enrolled in an 88-week bowling course being con ducted by Geiger. The program, af filiated .with the College Station Youth Recreation Program, offers the children opportunities to bowl at reduced rates, 25 cents per line and shoes free, with qualified in- structiors to help them. They bowl every Wednesday evening with the 2-11 group staring at 1:30 a.m. and the 12-16 group beginning an hour later. In addition to the certificate that each member receives for complet ing the course, four trophies will be given to outstanding students. One trophy will be given to each boy and each girl in each age group. Trophy winners will be graded on attendance, perform ance, courtesy and improvement, said Geiger. Assisting Geiger with the in structing chores are Albert D. Mc Clellan, last-year president of the A&M Bowling Club; Lou McDon ald and Dorthy Moore, past offi cers in the Women’s International Bowling Congress from the local area. “I am very well pleased with the way the kids have taken to the game and the improvement they have made. We have some fine potential bowlers,” Geiger said. Puryear Takes First Semester Softball Crown By J. B. McLeroy Battalion Photographer A long homerun over the center- field wire by Charles Crews top ped off an untied, undefeated sea son for the Pm’year softball team as they downed the Dorm 16 nine, 6-5, Tuesday night. Crew’s blow came in the last inning with the score tied and two men out. This gave Puryear the undisput ed title over the other four teams in the league. The nearest con tender was Walton, who had lost only two games. Marvin (Chick) Dvorchek pitched fine ball for Walton during the season, but lack of infield support hindered the team all year. Credit should be given where credit is due. Win or lose, sever al players on every team display ed sportsmanship and fair play for their team. Space doesn’t allow a mention for evei-yone, but here are a few: Dvorchek, Clyde Stinson, and John Henry for Walton; Matt Coyle, Louie Benevedies, and Joe King for Law; Steve McCarter, Carroll Hungerford, and Raymond Carrio for College View “A”; Dolf Wenzel, Robert Carroll, and Allen Mansfield for Dorm 16; Mike Long, Kellett Williams, and Harold Moore for College View “B”; and Jimmy Wilson, Wilson Hardy, and Ernest De Leon for Puryear. A story of this sort wouldn’t be complete without a mention of the man in blue (in our case blue jeans). Charges McCandless did a fine job of calling all the games and handled the whole program in a very admirable manner. Mc Candless will also direct the soft- ball program for the next semes ter. A quick glance into the crystal ball showed that the second sum mer league should turn into a three-way race between Puryear, Walton, and Dorm 16. Ray Bowen should help the Dorm 16 nine if he decides to play. With six weeks of playing undeh their belt, all teams should be improved and the league should be tighter and more competitive. Again, thanks to Charlie for the splendid work he has done for our summer recreational program. We Wish to Announce the Change of PF" I BURGESS-PRICE INS. AGENCY BURGESS-CASHION INS.
