Something awful is about to happen.” When police arrived at the Krat- zert home, they found 4-year-old Billy hiding behind a couch. “What’s the matter, feller?” asked the law. “She was going to spank me,” said the youngster, pointing at a baby-sitter.

Ken Midkiff’s Red Sox have al ready completed their first half schedule and own a 6-3 mark, good enough to assure them of at least a tie for the first-half crown. The White Sox, however, are right behind with a 5-3 record, and should they win their postponed game with the third-place Orioles would dead lock the Red Sox for the title of the opening half. Meanwhile, the second half gets underway at Little League Park Monday with a double-header. In the 5:30 tilt, the Orioles tangle with the White Sox, while the Red Sox battle the Senators in the 7:30 game. After the second half has been completed, the victors of each portion of the divided season are due to collide for the 1957 Ameri can League South championship. Pitching continued to “catch up” with the hitting, for the most part, in last week’s action. League batt ing’ leader Dennis Muth of the Red Sox fell slightly but still possesses a healthy lead with a .464 mark. One of his teammates, Charles Gandy, is the only other player- swatting the ball for better than a .400 percentage. Steadily pulling into position for BATTING LEADERS UAME H.

He is trailed by the Orioles’ Jimmy Nail, .350; the Senators’ Sidney Coufal, .346; the White Sox’s Harold Cooner and Jimbo Bevans, .316 and .308, respectively, and Jody Rush of the Senators, .308. Muth is in front in total bases, with 29; in home runs with four; in base hits, with 13; in runs scored, with 11; runs batted in, with 14; doubles, with four and in slugging percentage, with a phenomenal 1.036 pace. In only two other offensive de partments—triples and stolen bases—does the lead belong to someone other than the red-hot Muth. The Red Sox’s Hubert Hearne has belted the league’s only triple, while Hearne, Bevans, and the White Sox’s Bobby Houze own four stolen bases apiece. Among the pitchers, Bevans and Randy Ransdell, of the Red Sox, are the possessors of perfect 0.00 earned run averages. Muth, with a 3-0 record, leads the loop with 30 strikeouts. He has twirled the most complete games, three, along with Jackie Ross, of the Orioles, and Ozzie Burke, of the White Sox.
