I Page 6 College Station, Texas Thursday, April 25, 1953 THE BATTALION Aggies Share SWC Lead; McAdams Leads In Hitting The Aggie baseball team moves into the second half of the South west Conference race in a first place tie with the Baylor Bears, with both teams posting 5-2 re cords. The Texas Longhorns are run ning a close second with a 4-‘ ? re cord. Standing in third position is TCU, posting a 5-3 effort. All the other teams in the conference are lost in the bottom of the list with winless SMU in the very deepest corner of the cellar. BOOSTING THE Aggies with his hitting is Robert McAdams with a .333 average in eight con ference games. Second baseman Jerry Ballard is second, batting at .324, and Bill Hancock is close behind with a .323 clip. McAdams is also the current leader in total bases with 21 and rbis with nine.

McGuire has an ERA of 1.56 for 23 innings, has 15 strikeouts and has walked only five men. Crain has pitched the most innings at 28 and has an ERA of 2.20. Days Of Ye Olde Interview Ain’t Like They Used To Be NEW YORK (AP) — The tape recorder is destroying one of the arts of the old-time sports writer — the all-inclusive quote. RememT>er the daw? The man walks into the dressing room, cor ners the manager, and asks the ouestion no one ever neglects . . . What did you think of that pitch ing performance? “IT WAS WONDERFUL” re plies the manager. “That Turley, Our fi-fno+-2. POO-nnupd. 21-vpav_ old fastballing rig-ht-hander, pitch ed about his strongest game of the campaign in beating those Chicago White Cox of A1 Lonez before 17,643 customers at the Sta dium 4-1 today. “And how abous that 21-year- old, 190-pound shortstop Tony Ku- bek, who was married lust the other day to that fine girl from Wisconsin? “That was a dandy play he made deep into the hole in the seventh inning when Luis Aparicio yvas on third base after singling, stealing second and advancing to third when A1 Smith bounced to Bobby Richardson, our second baseman, on a high outside fast ball with two out and our club in real trouble for the first time since Roger Maris had hit that 410-foot, three-run home run in the third inning to give us a 3-0 lead. “I THOUGHT before Kubek made that one we might possibly suffer through our first setback in the 19 games we have played since we were upended 2-1 in the 11th inning by the Cleveland club at their park along Lake Erie back on Tuesday night, April 19, when Jim Grant, called Mudcat, struck out 14 of my men, including Man tle four times and Maris three and culminated it all by driving in the winning marker with the count no balls and two strikes.” Things, fortunately for most and unfortunately for a few, have changed. The game’s over. Walk in to the manager. Next to you is the man from the network with the tape recorder. “WHAT DID you think of that pitching' performance?” “Fine,” says the manager. “What about Maris, will he hit like that all year?” “Dunno, hope so.” “Nice play by Kubek in seventh ?” “Yeah.” “Who you pitch tomorrow?” “Whitey.” “Who?” “Ford.” “Oh!” the Giles May Suggest Balk Rule Change NEW YORK (A?) — The end of balkball or basebalk appeared near Wednesday. Admittedly baf fled by the epidemic of balks, President Warren Giles of the Na tional League indicated he was about ready to suggest a liberali zation of the controversial one- second balk rule. The vigilance of National Lea gue umpires in following the rule book out the window has resulted in a situation where 60 balks have been called in the National Lea gue and only two in the American. One crew of umpires, headed by Augie Donatelli, has called 27 of the violations. Giles told The Associated Press by phone from his Cincinnati of fice that he was “studying the matter, getting statistics, making some inquiries of pitching coaches and other people and trying to come up with a satisfactory solu tion.” Schoolboys Vie For AA Track Title By The Associated Press Daingerfield, Coleman and Den ver City are due to battle it out for the Class AA schoolboy track championship next week at Austin. Daingerfield, with scoring po tential in seven events; Coleman, with the top 440-''mrd reJav team and ace sprinter Riley Dunn, and Denver Citv, with the leading mile relay outfit, could pull away from the field and put on a stir ring duel. THE RELAYS count twice as many points as the individual events. Daingerfield would appear to have a mild edge because of manpower. There will be a new champion- Fort Stockton, the 1962 king, has graduated to Class AAA where it is contending for the title. Discus thrower Allan Perkins, who has flung the saucer 160 feet 8 inches; hurdler Pat Pollan, sprinter Johnny Fretwell and a good 440-yard relay team lead Daingerfield in its title bid. DENVER CITY’S mile relay team that has a time of 3:28.8 and hurdler and high jumper Craig Fox make the South Plains outfit a strong threat.
