Little League Shots By MAURICE OLIAN Battalion Sports Writer Although the regular season schedule of the College Station Little League came to a close last Friday night, no official second-half champion has been crowned yet. The White Sox, first-half winners, are in the “driver seat”, but the Senators and the Red Sox both still have mathematical chances of capturing the pennant. Owning a 5-3 record, the White Sox are in the top spot. In second place are the Senators wuth a 4-4 record, and they are trailed by the Red Sox, who are now 3-4. The Orioles rest in the cellar in the evenly-balanced league due to a 4-5 mark. Because of a rained-out contest, a White Sox - Red Sox affair, and a tie game, a Red** Sox-Senator battle, any of the top three teams has a chance of taking the title. If the White Sox down the Red Sox today (in the rained out game), the full-season crown, as well as the second-half championship, goes to the Pale Hose. Should the Red Sox emerge victorious today, their tie game with the Senators will be played tomorrow at College Station Little League Park. So, as you can see, it’s not over yet. Meanwhile, the batting race re mains practically the same as it has been for several weeks, but the battle for pitching honors has a new leader. The Senators’ Joe Olian still paces the batting with a mark of .458, and the White Sox’ Danny Feldman remains in second with his .417. Larry Randolph, of the Orioles, is next due to his ,383, and he is followed by the White Sox’ Jimbo Bevans, .378; the Orioles’ Bill Berry, .358 and George Out law, .353; Jody Rush, of the Sena tors, .340; Hal Delaplane, of the White Sox, .311; the Orioles’ Jackie Ross, .296; and the Red Sox’ Charles Gandy, .286. In slugging percentage, - a torrid scrap is being waged among Feld man, .625; Randolph, .617; Outlaw, .588; Berry, .566; and Olian, .563. Randolph’s 23 runs-batted-in are far ahead of the 17 collected by Delaplane. He has a similar num ber of base hits to rank one ahead of Olian. In runs scored, the co leaders are Feldman and Outlaw, both of whom have 21. Outlaw has three homers to hold the lead in that department, but a trio of players—Berry, Delaplane, and Feldman—have two four-bag gers apiece. Randolph is the top man in doubles with 11, which is far ahead of the rest of the loop, and he also leads in total bases, having 37. Outlaw, Feldman, and Berry have 30 each to tie for the runner-up spot. Berry’s 11 stolen bases are barely leading Feldman’s 10. The new leader in earned-run- average is the Senators’ Johnny Williams with a sparkling 1.09. Strung out behind him are the White Sox’ Ozzie Burke, 1.42; John Stark, of the White Sox, 1.71; the Red Sox’ Ricky Howard, 1.76; and Olian, 2.06. The Oriole’s Fur man Isbell has a fine 1.38 but has huided only 13 innings. Based on percentage, the leader is, Stark with an excellent .833. His five wins also pace the league. Behind Stark percentage-wise come Williams, Burke and the Senators’ Larry Godfrey, all with .667, and Randolph, .600. Three pitchers have five complete games, Wil liams, Howard, and Stark all hav ing gone the route more times than any of the rest of the loop’s hurlers. Feldman increased his strike-out lead, now owning 55. Trailing him are Randolph, 46, Olian, 42, and Williams, 38. Having pitched the most innings are Olian and Stark, each with 35, and Howard, 34. Natl League West Takes LL Tourney When a team’s pitchers dole out, in three games, a total of only two base hits, that team is usually a good bet to win that trio of games. The National League West All- Stars used that formula, plus some lusty hitting, to win the Area Little League Tournament held at College Station the past three days. With the tourney win went the chance to go to Waco to compete in the Dis trict Tournament. The National West smothered the National League East last night 19-1 to capture the crown. The former had advanced to the finals The Grove Schedule be The following movies will shown this week at The Grove: Thursday Challenge the Wild featuring George and Sheilah Graham.

College Station Netters Enter Rosenberg Tourney College Station Recreation Coun cil tennis coach Horace Schaffer left early this morning with eight of his leading netters to compete in the State Junior Development Tennis Tournament in Rosenberg. The tourney started at 8 this morn ing and will come to a conclusion Saturday afternoon. Many of the state’s top netters are expected to compete in both singles and doubles in the three-day meet. A total of four boys and a simi lar number of girls from College Station will make the trip, most of ;-V' : i • : “ ELECT Judge James R.

Jack Armistead will enter singles only in the un- der-15 division, but Bill Jones and Don Avera are to play singles and also team in the doubles competi tion in that division. Maurice Olian is to play singles in the under-18 class, and he will enter the doubles with Bryan’s Walter Dahlberg. Of the four girls entered from College Station, all except one, Betty Mead, will compete in both singles and doubles. She is to play doubles with Margaret Manthei as her partner, and Margaret will also compete in singles. In the under-15 division, Pam Sperry and Susan Dowell are to enter both doubles and singles. Local netters will swing into their next tourney almost as soon as the one in Rosenberg is com pleted, for the United States South ern Junior Olympics gets underway Monday in Houston. The meet, which continues for thi-ee days, is to be held at the Memorial Tennis Coui’ts, with first-round action get ting started at 8 a.m. Monday. Coach Schaffer said College Sta tion will probably have the follow ing entries in the Junior Olympics: Maurice Olian, 16-17 boys’ singles; Margaret Manthei and Betty Mead, 16-17 girls’ doubles; Don Avera, 14-15 boys’ singles; Bill Jones and Bruce Thompson, 14-15 boys’ doubles; Susan Dowell, 14-15 girls’ singles; Jack Armistead, 12-13 boys’ singles; Pam Sperry, 12-13 girls’ singles; and Ozzie Burke, 11-and-under boys’ singles. by edging the American North 1-0 in a first-round game and then belting the Hearne All-Stars 15-0 in the semi-finals. A 7-0 triumph over the host team, the American League South All-Stars, put the latter into the finals. National West hurler F. J. Cata lina pitched his team’s first and last victories, giving up but one safety each outing. Greg Rodri guez pitched a no-hitter to get credit for the second win. Thomas Stockton also hurled no hit ball to blank the American South and eliminate the local club. In Wednesday’s finals, the Na tional West tallied in every inning except the fourth, scoring seven times in the fifth . The loser’s lone run, and hit, came in the bottom half of the sixth. . Letters The Tokyo metropolitan area has 6,300,000 people. (Continued from Page 2) put the thoughts on genus in the “deep freeze.” They accumulated into sacred works, and as bodies of TRUTH called science. Scientists like democrats can change position without fear of liquidation for deviation. The cu mulative expenences of MAN bears evidence that the democratic ideal of “the greatest good for the great est number” is no idle slogan. For shame on all of us that some of you are graduating seniors and have but now met the practice of this principle on our campus. It should be a matter of daily prac tice warranting only passing no tice. It should be the rule and not the exception. Yes! it should ex tend thi-ough faculties, classrooms, dormitories and to the playing fields. Voted? Of course we voted to take the action—the same action dictated would have been dicta torial, repulsive, suppressive of dissenters. Science and Democracy will have none of these. Democ racy as a recent product of social evolution, has extended to but a few persons in a limited number of countries in especially favored areas of the earth. It needs prac titioners, devotees and converts who will spread its leaven through the whole lump of man’s total pop ulation. We seek no return of favor. We do hope that you will remember that when Christian Principles and the Democratic Way are like our muscles, strengthened by use. It is when they are neglected that they weaken, atrophy and die. It is our hope that you will learn your history well, make a good grade in it and that you will never lose sight of its lessons. For then each will forever be an informed ambassador for the Democratic Way.
