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

whom .had to qualify in the local
tourney held at the A&M concrete
comts last week. 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

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

and singles.

pleted, for the United States South

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

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. .

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.
