The Leggett hurler pitched per fect ball, allowing no hits, no runs and not a runner to reach first base. And he paced the hitting* attack with two home runs and a triple in five trips to the plate. J. E. Marshall was the other hit ting star for the Leggett nine as he pounded out four hits in four times at bat. This season Dvoracek has a 3-0 record and has given up only 3 hits while striking out 19 batters. He has issued 4 bases on balls and thus far only 3 runs have been scored on him, with all of those being unearned. Backing this championship pitch ing with good fielding and hitting are Joe Schmid, Jim Smith, Bobby Woodward, Channing Williams, James Farquhar, Billy Todd, Sam Jenkins, Mai’shall and Fred Mc Donald. Mu th Hu rlsNo-h i No-run Ballgame By MAURICE OLIAN 1 Riding the no-hit, no-run pitching of Dennis Muth, Ken Midkiff’s Red Sox blanked the high-flying Orioles of Wayne Smith 5-0 Tuesday night to annex the full season title of the American Little League South. In the second half of a twin-bill (The first game of the season-concluding double-header was the Minor Little League all-star battle.) witnessed by the largest throng to see a game at the College Station Little League Park this season, Muth was in top-notch form as he twirled his second consecu tive no-hitter, the only two such masterpieces hurled in the loop in the 1957 campaign. The fast-balling righthander walked three, fanned seven Orioles, and faced just 20 batters in the six-inning affair. TENSE LAUGHTER NEW YORK </P) — Laughter doesn’t ease tension while watch ing hn exciting show, says Martin Aaron. Aaron, director of a testing lab oratory, recently hooked electronic equipment to members of an audience watching a movie (“12 Angry Men”) at a Broadway pre view. He reported high pulse and skin reactions continued without per ceptible change when the action was relieved with humor. Aaron also found that women react more quickly than men to dramatic situations, but that men’s interest builds to a higher peak.

These two clubs had reached the sudden-death play-off stage like this: the Orioles won the second half crown with a 9-0 mark after the Red Sox had taken the initial half pennant with a 6-3 record.

SORENSEN ‘"B/ivknckg up a Haabatul i& 'no e<Xjy job I Husbands have to be fed three times a day, and watched over seven days a week, 52 weeks a year. Some of them need to be told when to buy a new suit, when to have a physical check up. They need praise when things go right and sympathy when things go wrong. And almost all of them have to be reminded about making plans for retirement. It’s a good thing a husband’s love is worth all the trouble he causes. Retirement is in the future for all of us. And the sooner we start making plans for it, the hap pier these years can be. Does your husband have a hobby? If not, urge him to develop one. Does he have a retirement savings plan? If not, en courage him to start one. Good health, outside interest, and freedom from financial worries spell happiness in retirement One of the best ways to prepare for retirement is to invest regularly in U. S. Savings Bonds. They’re solid as a rock—guaranteed by your Gov ernment. They’re loss-proof, fire-proof, theft- proof—the Treasury will replace them without charge in case of mishap. And best of all, U. S. Savings Bonds now pay you higher interest—faster! Every Series E Bond purchased since February 1,1957, pays you a safe and sure interest when held to maturity. It pays higher interest, too, in the earlier years, and matures in only 8 years and 11 months. So now, more than ever, it’s smart to save with guaranteed-safe U. S. Savings Bonds. Your hus band can buy them regularly where he banks or through the Payroll Savings Plan where he works. But just be sure he starts today! Part of every American’s savings belongs in U. S. Savings Bonds The V. S. Government does not pay for this advertisement. The Treasury Department thanks, for their patriotic donation, the Advertising Council and The Battalion
