(AP HOLLYWOOD HURLER Belinsky Sent Rigney Nixes To Bullpen.; Minors Rumor CLEVELAND (A 3 ) — Is Bo Be linsky, the colorful southpaw pitch er, headed for the minor leagues? That’s a decision for Los An geles Angels General Manager Fred Haney. The Los Angeles Herald-Exam iner indicated in a story Monday that may be the fate of the 26- year-old playboy hurler who has been hit hard this season and has a 1-7 record. BUT MANAGER Bill Rigney threw cold water on that report. “We haven’t even discussed sending Bo to the minors,” Rig ney said. “He’s got enough stuff to pitch in the majors so why should we send him down.” What’s wrong with Belinsky ? “He doesn’t get enough outs,” Rigney quipped. “He’s been wild. I don’t know what his trouble is. He was great in spring training. Now he gets behind on the batters and has to come in with a pitch and—bang!

I hope to use him as a long man in relief.” Rigney said Belinsky’s night time activities haven’t been a prob lem. The dapper pitcher is en gaged to Mamie Van Doren, a blonde film beauty. He’s been a familiar figui’e in the Hollywood night spots. “He’s been behaving himself pretty well this season,” Rigney said. “I don’t keep close tabs on what he does at night. That’s his business as long as he doesn’t get in trouble. He knows that if he wants money and fame — and he does —* that he’ll have to do some better pitching.” BUD FURILLO of the Herald- Examiner wrote that Rigney gave this response to a query about Be linsky’s future: A&M In Running For Randy Matson, Pampa Weight Star ABILENE DP)—Randy Matson, the big schoolboy weight star from Pampa, was supposed to be trying for national scholastic records in the shot and discus when he com peted in the West Texas Track and Field Federation here Satur day. He didn’t make them—his shot throw of 65 feet 1 inch and discus toss of 188 feet 9% inches were well off the national marks. So he just moved up to the sen ior division where they throw the 16-pound shot instead of the 12- pound ball. He hurled it 58 feet 8 inches which betters the Southwest Conference record of 57 feet 9 inches by almost a foot. It is also the second best throw of all time for the 16-pound shot in Texas. Danny Roberts of A&M has the best when he pitched it 59 feet 3% inches at the Texas Re lays. PAMPA (A 3 ! — Randy Matson, the Pampa schoolboy who throws the shot and discus farther than the collegians, said Monday he had narrowed his college preference down to three schools — Texas, A&M and Southern California. Matson said it would be June before he made his choice. MOVING? Complete Moving Service Packing—Transportation— Storage Beard Transfer & Storage Agent For UNITED VAN LINES TA 2-2835 707 S. Tabor, Bryan “See me Tuesday. I don’t know if he has any major league options left. I haven’t seen Bo throw it once this year the way he did in spring training.” That was right after Belinsky was blasted in New York Sunday, giving up eight i*uns in two in nings. “I may have been excited,” Rigney said Monday. “It’s not im portant whether I deny saying it or not.” RIGNEY SAID the Angels haven’t discussed trading Belinsky either. “We’re not trying to ped dle him,” he said. “We want him to pitch for Los Angeles the way we know he can pitch.” The Herald-Examiner quoted Be linsky as saying: “I’m bewildered. I’m jinxed. I’m bugged. I can’t sleep worrying about my pitching . . . I’ve never been more serious about pitching.” THE BATTALION Tuesday, May 21, 1963 College Station, Texas Page 7 jiuMGR KEYSTONE MAN Grochett Is Bat Champ BY JIM BUTLER Battalion Sports Editor A diminutive second baseman, who previously had to depend heav ily on his slick glovework to keep him in the lineup, turned tiger for the Aggies and ended up pacing the basepaths and the team in hitting. Bill Grochett, junior from Hous ton St. Pius, hit .321 in 20 games after being sidelined with a sore shoulder early in the season. Last season Grochett hit a lowly .205. The only other Cadet to scratch the .300 mark was Bryan sopho more Jerry Ballard. The slender shortstop had a .308 season aver age. Ballard was also the leader in hits with 32. Centerfielder Ray Hall had 28 safeties while Bill Hancock and Robert McAdams had 26 apiece. Hall and thh’dsacker Hancock Ernie Davis Foundation Established CLEVELAND (A 3 )—Ernie Davis will fight another battle against the deadly blood disease that took his life, through the Ernie Davis Foundation for leukemia research. Arthur B. Modell, president of the Cleveland Browns, said a few hours after the 23-year-old Davis’ death Saturday that the club would make a substantial contribution to start such a project. Davis, an All-America halfback at Syracuse University and the nation’s greatest collegiate foot ball player of 1961, passed away peacefully at Lakeside Hospital after a 13-month fight against acute leukemia. He was under se dation at the end. It was Davis’ great constitution, his spirit and unflagging desire to play pro football that kept him going during his ordeal, Dr. Aus tin Weisberger said. Dr. Weisber- ger, a prominent blood specialist and Davis’ personal physician dur ing his long illness, said his par ticular disease — acute monocytic leukemia — is the worst of all the forms of leukemia. Three Ags On SWC Nine Three Texas Aggies—Chuck McGuire, pitcher; Bill Han cock, third base; and Ray Hall, centerfield—were selected by the coaches to the All-Southwest Conference baseball team. TCU and Texas tied for the championship. The co champs landed nine men on the team. Three Texas selections—first baseman Butch Thomp son, pitcher Bob Myer and shortstop Bill Bethea—were unanimous picks. TCU had two players who also received all six votes—pitcher Lance Brown and centerfielder Bib Bigley. Others on the team were Gary London, Texas and Freddy Jones, TCU, who tied for catcher; Bill McAdams, TCU, second base; Ronnie Goodwin, Baylor, untility infielder; Jay Wal- rath, TCU, outfielder; and Joe Tigett, Rice, utility outfielder. Bill Grochett of A&M, who led A&M team batting and had a .959 fielding average, got two votes for second base. Hall is the only graduating senior from A&M to make the mythical team. He hit .302 and fielded .978 in winding up his collegiate career. McQuire posted a 3-4 SWC record and pitched 60 Vi in nings during Conference play. Hancock led the team in RBI’s with 20. The Aggies finished third in the SWC race with a 9-6 record. ARMY, WHAT IS AGGIELAND TO YOU? Aggieland means many different things to many different people. To some it is the place they met their lifetime friends and received their formal education, to others it is the place they learned how to be a man and to get along with their fellow man. Although Aggieland may have a special meaning for each Aggie, all have memories of yelling for that Fightin’ Aggie Team as we beat T. U. or of singing The Twelfth Man when we didn’t yell loud enough. Army, when we go home after these finals let’s throw our chests out and tell the world that we are proud to be a Fightin’ Texas Aggie. Let’s keep alive the heritage left to us by our buddies we’ve honored with Silver Taps who are no longer able to share it with us. Ole Army Lou ’32 shared the leadership in circuit blows with six. McAdams and last ed for five each. Hancock and Hall also paced the team in runs scored with 18. Mc Adams had seven doubles to lead year’s leader Frank Stark connect- the club in that depaiAment and shared the strikeout title with Stark, each fanning: 26 times. The runs-batted-in and stolen base crowns went to Hancock. The Louisiana redhead drove in 25 runs and stole eight bases. Coach Tom Chandler had the squad running more this year and had 40 stolen bases, 15 more than last season.
