Nears Fever Pitch
Little League Statistics
By Maurice Olian
Battalion Sports Writer
The race for batting” honors in
the College Station Little League
tightened slightly during the past
week, as the leader, the Senators’
Joe Olian, “cooled off” from the
pace he had been setting”. 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.

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.
