A split would leave the clubs with identical records. Rain, an important factor in the Aggies’ current losing campaign, and thus far this season a discouraging nemesis of Southwest Conference baseball clubs, continues to pour and may cause further postponement of league play which has already had its share of ups and downs. Baylor has had to postpone four games this season while Texas and TCU still have two to make up. Texas and TCU are tied for first, winning five and losing none, and Baylor is in the second spot, losing only one and winning two. Neither the Aggies nor Rice have been impressive in compiling 1-6 conference records. The Owls hold the better record for the season winning four and losing eight, while the Cadets stand at 2-11. A&M’s most recent SWC set backs were 9-4 and 2-1 to SMU while Rice was clobbered by Tex as in two games, 7-5 and 22-5. The Crowley Millers of the Evan geline League posted a 4-0 win over Lefty Bo Paradowski last Wednesday and the Brooke Army Medics defeated Toby Newton in San Antonio Thursday, 3-0. Now in the midst of a six'-game losing streak, the Aggies find themselves in a hitting slump and the outlook bleak with eight games remaining on the schedule. Only Paradowski is hitting above the .300 mark with a .333 average over the season. He hhs only bat ted 12 times but picked up two hits against Crowley to give him a to tal of four-for the season. Jim Smotherman, rightfielder from Erisco, continues to lead hitters who have batted over 25 times, slamming out 17 hits in 57 at-bats for .298. Smother man has three doubles, two trip les and one home run. G a r y Herrington, sophomore catcher from Baytown, follows with a .295 average, hitting safely 13 times of 44 and doubling twice. Herrington has also drawn eight walks to lead in that department with Lupe Fraga. Shortstop Fraga is batting .278 and is followed by Wendell Reed with .271. Leading hitter in conference ac tion is Fraga with .417 followed by Smotherman at .333, Herring ton .308 and Reed .300. Catcher Herrington is the tops in fielding with 55 putouts, two assists and no errors for a perfect 1.000. Other perfect fielders for A&M are Paradowski, Dick Mun- day, Newton and Ed Dudley. Paradowski, who has been play ing first base and only pitched two innings until last Wednesday, pitched a fine ball game, though losing 4-0 to Crowley. Only two runs had been scored and the Mill ers had managed only four hits until the Bryan southpaw tired in the seventh with two away and walked the bases full. Paul Lang relieved and allowed a two-run single before the third out in the inning. Of 66 runs scored against A&M this year only 40 have been earned and with the gratis runs have gone the chance for several possible wins. Newton and Munday are the on ly pitchers to post wins but have both lost three. Donnie Hullum has lost two, Paradowski one and Lang two. v Captain Munday has the leading ERA in conference with 1.82, yield ing 14 hits, 10 runs and four earn- ed, struck out 15 and walked five. Over the season Munday has toss ed 26 innings, posting an ERA of 2.76 which has been bettered only by Hullum’s 2.59 for the season. Hullum, the righthander fro m Baytown, has .pitched mostly in re lief, totalling 34-% innings, giving rip 11 runs on 20 hits while strik ing out 21 and walking 18. Southpaw Newton of Galveston has pitched the most innings, 37-% giving up 40 hits and 29 runs, striking out 34 and walking 26. On ly 12 of the runs scored against Newton have been earned. Klu Remains On Sidelines CINCINNATI, GP) — Just when Ted Kluszewski will return to the Cincinnati Redleg lineup as a reg- luar still was a matter for conjec ture Wednesday after a group of doctors examined him a Christ Hos pital. Gabe Paul, general manager of the club, said treatments will be continued. A physician recently concluded that calcium deposits were causing the pain in the left hip which has kept him from play ing first base since the opening game April 16. The Battalion College Station (Brazos County), Texas Thursday, April 25, 1957 PAGE 5 Braves f Dodgers Keep Lead in NL MILWAUKEE, (TP)—The Milwaukee Braves maintained their tie position atop the National League yesterday when Del Crandall hit a home run in the last of the ninth for an 8-7 decision over St. Louis. All the Braves runs in the free-swing contest in which they twice came from behind to tie the score, were brought across by homers. Before Crandall’s blast, Ed Mathews drove home three runs with his first homer of the season, Henry Aaron hit his third— also with two on—and Joe Adcock his second, with the bases empty. . BROOKLYN, —(A?)— The Brook lyn Dodgers sprung a four-run fourth-inning trap that chased rookie righthander Curt Barclay and made it stand up for a 4-3 victory over the New York Giants last night, although held to one hit the rest of the way by three reliefers. WASHINGTON, — 6P) — Jackie Jensen’s 10th inning single off Bob Chakales scored Billy Klaus from second to give Boston a 4-3 victory over Washington last night. Ted Williams crashed his third homer of the season with none aboard in the eighth inning to tie the score at 3-3. KANSAS CITY, —(/P)_ Kansas City massacred Cleveland last night, 17-6, bombarding Bob Lem on and four other Tribe hurlers for 14 hits, including five home runs, two of them by Hector Lopez who drove in six runs. BA TTALION CLASSIFIED FOR SALE BO PARADOWSKI—Aggie pitcher first-baseman who hurled fine ball for seven innings last week although losing, 4-0, to the Crowley Millers.
