White Sox Hold Half-game Lead Over Orioles Through games of Monday, the White Sox held on grimly to a slim lead in the College Station Little League, as the second - half pennant race moved into its waning days. With a 4-2 record, the White Sox wei’e only % game ahead of the runner- up Orioles, who stood at 4-3. Resting further back with a 2-3 mark were the Red Sox, and in last place were the Senators due to their 2-4 slate. The regular season schedule comes to a close with Friday’s double-header. More action may be on tap, however, as there is a strong possibility that a rained-out contest between the Red Sox and the White Sox, the first-half champs, will have to be played. Monday, the White Sox tightened their grip on the top spot, as they trounced the Red Sox 11-4. The Orioles moved into sole possession of second place by bombarding the Senators 16-6. In pitching, the Senators’ Joe Olian and the White Sox’ John Stark, are deadlocked for the loop’s best earned run average, both hav ing fine 1.03 records. Close behind them come Johnny Williams, of the Senators, 1.34; the Orioles’ Furman Isbell, 1.38; and Ozzie Burke, of the White Sox, 1.42. In percentage of games won and lost, the leader is Stark, .800, with a 4-1 slate. Trailing him, in order, are the White Sox’ Burke and the Senators’ Larry Godfrey, both .667. The Red Sox’ Eldon Hagler has pitched the most innings, 30% but he is closely followed by Burke, 29%, and Stark and Olian, both having hurled 29. Five pitchers have pitched four complete games apiece — Burke, Randolph, Stark, Williams, and the Red Sox’ Ricky Howard. Stark and Burke have the most wins, four. In strike-outs, Feldman has 49, Randolph 46, Olian 35, and Williams 31. Despite a recent slump, Olian still leads the loop in batting. His .455, however, is not far ahead of Feldman’s .429. In slugging percentage, Feld man’s .643 is tops, but it is not much better than Randolph’s .623 or Outlaw’s .622. Behind them, in order, come Olian, .568, and Ber ry, .563. TWO CHAMPIONS OF THE ROAD... both Chevrolets! To the eye, the new Corvette and the new Chevrolet are far different. But these two champions have one superb quality in common—both were born to cling to the road as though they were part of it! Chevrolet’s astonishing roadability is a big reason why it’s America’s short track stock car racing cham pion. It can and does out-run and out-handle cars with 100 more horsepower. When you wed rock- solid stability to superb engines such as the 225-h.p. V8 that flashed the Corvette to a new American sports car record—then you get a real championship combination. America’s largest selling car— 2 million more owners than any other make. AIR CONDITIONING—TEMPERATURES MADE TO ORDER—AT NEW LOW COST.
