Whitt and partner, Alan Prit chard, were the White Band losers to Co. F-l team compos ed of Taylor Ewing and Paul Ashley. Ewing had a five over par while Ashley shot a three over round.

KRENEK ’41 American League Round-Up By The Associated Press The Baltimore Orioles, one of the pre-season facorites for the American League flag, are no bet ter than fifth, seven games behind first-place Detroit. And if the Birds’ pennant hopes are dying, it’s strictly a case of suicide. What else would you call it when they can chase a starting pitcher with six hits, four of them doubles, and two walks in four innings, but score just one run while leav ing six on base ? That’s what they did Monday night as right-hander Jack Fisher pitched perfect ball for five inn ings yet wound up with his third straight defeat in an 8-2 loss to the Yankees at New York. The victory left the third-place Yankees 5% games behind De troit. The Tigers walloped Kan sas City 10-2, protecting their 3%- game lead over the second-place Cleveland Indians, who beat Min nesota 75 in 15'innings. Boston beat the Chicago White Sox 4-1, and the Los Angels Angels de feated Washington 6-4.

Regular or mentholated, 1.00. s h u i_ m o N Francisco retained a .014 percen tage-point edge by beating St. Louis 3-1 while the second-place Los Angeles Dodgers won 2-1 in 10 innings at Cincinnati. Pitts burgh beat Milwaukee 2-1 in the only other game. Clete Boyer broke up the per fect game by Fisher (1-5) with a leadoff single in thfe sixth inning for the Yankees and came around with an unearned run for a 1-1 tie. Boyer also hit a three-run homer in the eighth—with all the runs unearned—off Fisher, who finished with a five-hitter. The Yankees, with Jim Coates (4-2) winning it in relief of Art Ditmar, put it away in a four-run seventh. Two walks and a single by Yogi Berra broke the tie, and the clinching run came home when second base umpire Larry Napp ruled second baseman Marv Breed ing had trapped a liner by Elston Howard. After the Orioles gave their argument that Breeding had caught the ball, Tony Kubek cap ped the inning with a two-nm, two- out single. The Tigres came from behind on a tying, solo homer by Norm Cash in the ; fourth inning, then flattened th A’s with six runs in the fifth off Norm Bass (2-2). Right-hander Phil Regan (5-0) al lowed just five hits, one a pinch homer by Don Larsen. 1 Cleveland, 4-0 in extra-inning games, made it six straight on Willie Kirkland's tie-breaking sin gle in the 15th off losing reliever Ted Sadowski and eight innings of two-hit, shutout relief by Frank Funk (5-2). A pair of two-run homers by Woody Held over hauled a 5-1 lead by the Twins. Bill Monbouquette put away on ly his third victory in seven de cisions for Boston, but reduced his earned run average to 1.93 for 6% innings while beating the White Sox with a seven-hitter. Frank Baumann (2-3) was the loser, giving up a walk and singles by Carl Yastrzemski, Jim Pagli- aroni and Frank Mai zone as the Red Sox broke a 1-1 tie in a three- run fourth. The Angels cut down one Wash ington runner at the plate in the eighth and escaped another score when rookie Chuck Hinton left third base too soon on Jim King’s apparent .sacrifice fly in the Sen ators’ seventh. Los Angeles made the deciding run on a squeeze bunt by winner Eli Grba (4-4) in the sixth. Pete Burnside (2-2) was the loser. Head Battalion Classifieds Daily “You don’t realize how little you know about a thing until you start to tell someone something or ex plain it,” these were the words of J. B. Carroll, freshman baseball coach. In looking back over the past baseball season Carroll has nothing but pleasant thoughts because his first year men had a record of 10 wins to only one loss. “I reallly enjoyed working with the boys because I like baseball and I’ve always wanted to coach,” Carroll remarked. As a team, the Fish did real well because they had a lot of boys who wanted to win. Even though the varsity will lose some good boys this year, next year’s sophomores will give Coach Chandler plenty of help. Pitchers Will Help “The pitching will help Coach Chandler quite a bit next year but you can’t expect too much until these boys get some experience,” Carroll said. A lot of this year’s Fish will be playing next season but many will not be playing the position which they played this year. There will be some shifting to get the best nine on the field. After work ing on the varsity for awhile a lot of the boys find they can play an other position better. As many of the spectators will agree, the best game the Fish Hank Aaron Makes Skipper Look Good By The Associated Press NEW YORK—Hank Aaron ot Milwaukee is making his manag er’s prediction of an improved bat ting performance look good. Aaron, two-time National League batting champion, slumped to a .292 average last sbason. This spring, Braves’ skipper Charley Dressen forecast a 40-point in crease by his hard-hitting out fielder. And, after a slow start, Aaron has started to find the range. In last week’s games, he hit at a .400 pace, collecting 10 hits in 25 tries and lifting his average 19 points to .331. Including Sunday’s games, Aarion was in fifth place in the National League competition, He won the senior circuit title in 1956 and 1959. Most of the other batting lead ers lost ground. Wally Moon of the Los Angeles Dodgers remained in first place despite a three-point drop to .372. In the American League, John ny Temple of Cleveland regained the batting lead. He picked up seven points and is at .360. played this season was against the Texas Shorthorns on Kyle Field. The Freshmen went the entire game without making a single error. “Anytime a team makes no er rors in a game it’s going to be hard to beat ’em,” Carroll said. Cubs Top Opponents The best team which the Fish met this season was the Baylor Cubs, Carroll stated, despite the score which was 17-0 in favor of th$ Fish. They had a well-rounded club but the lack of experience was evident in the first game. In the second meeting of the two fresh man teams the Cubs were a much improved team but the Fish still took them 9-2. In talking about the success that his boys had this spring Carroll said that they were all pretty con scientious boys because they all did well in their studies and they didn’t let troubles of school get them down. “I think that the boys will be one step ahead of everyone else in the conference because the ma jority of them are going to play in a summer league,” Carroll ex plained. With the experience which th boys will get from playing on sun,, mer league teams like New Oi. leans, Dallas, Houston, San Aj. tonio, Brenham, and the man; hometown leagues, the Aggie should be all set to go after net year’s conference crown. i«■ ■«i linn. b ». i .....vnrtftH “Sports Car Center” Dealers for Renault-Peugeot & British Motor Cars Sales—Parts—Service ‘We Service All Foreign Can 1 1416 Texas Ave. TA 2-4617 WHITENER TRANSFER & STORAGE Agent, Allied Van Lines, Inc., Local and Long Distance MOVING TA 2-1919 — 1513 Cavitf -.f BUY BACK BOOKS ^Jhe £!xcliang,e *Sh ore “SERVING TEXAS AGGIES’ End Of School CLEARANCE SALE SUITS REG. $59.95 AND $49.95 NOW ONLY $49.95 AND $39.95 SAVE $| QO° ALL OTHER ITEMS NOW AT 20% OFF 3 r' : V Ivy League, Continental, and Traditional Styles In Sport Shirts, Sport Coats, Suits, Swim Suits and Ties.
