Byron Barber
. . . All-SWC
By LARRY SMITH
Battalion Sports Editor
Two Aggie outfielders—Byron
Barber and Stuffy Davis—were
named to the All-Southwest Con
ference teams announced last
weekend by the Associated Press
and United Press International.
While Davis and Barber were
the only Cadets on each of the wire
services’ first teams, three Aggies
were placed on the UPPs second,
team—first sacker Dick Hickerson,
second baseman Terry Cobb and
catcher Bill Puckett. The AP did-
1 n’t name a second team.
Barber is a three-year letterman
for the Aggies and is co-captain
of the team this spring along with
Hickerson. Barber, who is a sen
ior, was the most valuable man on
the 1960 Cadet Squad. He com
piled a .365 batting average in
SWC play and smashed nine hom
ers for the season.

Orioles’ Richards
To Manage Stars
By The Associated Press ,
BOSTON—Paul Richards of the
Baltimore Orioles Monday was
named American League All Star
team manager by President Joe
Cronin.
The selection of Richards, named
Associated Press AL manager of
the year in 1960, marks the third
time since 1933 that the tradition
of picking the previous yeaPs win
ning pilot has been broken.
The retirement of Casey Stengel,
who managed the New York Yan
kees to the junior circuit flag a
year ago, necessitated the action.
Otherwise Stengel would have
qualified automatically for the All
Star honor.
“I would be proud and pleased
to have any one of our present
ten managers fill in for Casey,”
Cronin said, “But I feel Richards
earned the honor through his fine
job last season.”
Richards, 52, a native of Waxa-
hachie, Tex., who blended youth
and expedience into a surprise sec
ond place finish for his Orioles
last year.
The two All Star games this
season will be played in San Fran
cisco July 11 and Boston July 31.
The eight starting players, pitch
ers excepted, will be picked next
month by thle vote of all active
American League players, mana
gers and coaches. Richards will
select tiie remainder of the squad
—pitchers, two coaches, two bat
ting practice pitchers, a batting
practice catcher and a trainer.
The 1936 and 1940 All Star
games were the only other occa
sions when the American League’s
previous pennant winning manager
did not serve.
In the 1936 All Star contest,
Joe McCarthy of the Yankees ran
the club in place of Mickey Coch
rane of the 1935 champion Detroit
Tigers. Again in 1940 Cronin of
the runner-up Boston Red Sox was
selected in place of McCarthy.

Davis, also a senior, has been
a valuable man to Coach Tom
Chandler ever since he was a soph
omore. His play in center field
has been tremendous support to
his teammates during his three
years on the varsity. Davis is
probably one of the greatest hust
lers on the Aggie baseball team
since the departure of J. B. Car-
roll.
Both of the stars are outstand
ing pi’ofessional prospects along
with Hickerson, who was the most
valuable player on the 1961 Aggie
squad.
Texas landed four players, Bay
lor three, TCU and A&M two each,
and SMU and Rice one each on the
all-dream team.
Baylor’s star third baseman,
Ronnie Goodwin, had ( the highest
batting average on the team with
.419 and Chuck Knutson of Texas
led in the runs-batted-in depart
ment with 27.
TCU’s Leon Baze, who was
placed on the squad as a utility
infielder, lead the team in home
runs with 10.
Since there are six juniors and
two sophomores on the all-team,
the conference will expect another
strong year of baseball next
spring.

Dodgers’ Stan Williams Has
Had It Rough This Season
By ED WILKS
Associated Press Sports Writer
If you think you’ve got it tough,
pal. take a look at Stan Williams.
All the big right-hander has to do
to nail a complete game victory
these days is to fire a four-hitter
and keep firing until the Los An
geles Dodgers finally get around
to putting it away.
Only A 1-2 Mark
After getting only a 1-2 record
and no complete games out of six
starts this season, Williams hit on
the four-hit, extra-inning formula
for a 2-1, 11-inning victory over
Milwaukee last Wednesday. He
stayed with it again Monday night,
once more giving up just four hits
for a 2-1 decision at Cincinnati,
this one in 10 innings, as the
Dodgers remained just percentage
points shy of the National League
lead with their fifth straight suc
cess.
Giants Stay Ahead
San Francisco stayed .014 per
centage points ahead with a 3-1
victory at -St. Louis. Third-place
Pittsburgh, one game behind the
Giants, defeated Milwaukee 2-1 in
the only other NL game.

In the American League, the
Detroit Tigers walloped Kansas
City 10-2 and kept a 3% game lead
over Cleveland. The Indians beat
Minnesota 7-5 in 15 innings, third-
place New York defeated Balti
more 8-2, Boston rapped the Chi
cago White Sox 4-1 and the Los
Angeles Angels beat Washington
6-4.
Struck Out 11
Williams, who struck out 11
when he beat the Braves, fanned
8 in this one and walked but 3
while blanking the Reds on two
singles after they had tied it 1-all
in the first inning.
The Dodgers, winning' their
eighth in a row on the road, col
lected 10 hits, but barely pulled
it out. Loser Bob Purkey (4-2)
gave up a walk to Maury Wills
opening the 10th, but after a sac
rifice and Willie Davis’ single
moved him to third, Wills was
nailed at the plate trying to score
on Wally Moon’s infield bouncer.
A two-out single by Tommy Davis
finally broke it up.
Bounced Back
The Giants, after losing three
in a row to the Dodgers, bounced
back behind Jack Sanford (3-3)
at St. Louis, cracking a shutout
duel with two runs in the sixth
off loser Ernie Broglio (3-5). Two
singles, by Chuck Hiller and Har
vey Kuenn, and errors by second
baseman Alex Grammas and right
fielder Joe Cunningham, both on
a grounder by Willie Mays, gave
the Giants one run. Hobie Lan-
drith’s sacrifice fly produced the
clincher. Orlando Cepeda closed
it out with a home run, his 11th,
tops in the NL, in the eighth inn
ing.
