LOUIS (&) — “I’m even more pleased with my running than with my hitting,” said Bob by Tolan, making a comeback after two injury setbacks last year. The statement of the 26-year- old Cincinnati Reds centerfielder was surprising because his .446 batting mark leads the majors through Tuesday’s games. “But,” said Tolan after crack- Aggies’ All-America candidate was not always super athlete The only problem R. J. Englert of .394. During his varsity ca- had at Texas A&M was getting to play. Once that problem was solved, the big problem was faced by opposing pitchers who had to get him out. Though freshmen were eligible in 1969, Englert found it impos sible to crack an outfield which included two All - Americans — Bob Long and Dave Elmendorf. So the Big Spring native spent his freshman year on the junior varsity where he hit .343. It took him nine games to break into the lineup as a sophomore, but once he did Englert hit .400 and led the Southwest Conference in hit ting. Englert hit .367 as a junior and was named to the All-SWC team for the second straight year. But he saved the best for last, and his senior year just completed bordered on the incredible. The 5-11, 180-pounder, who bats and throws lefthanded, put together a 28 - game hitting streak, truly amazing when you consider that 17 games were 7- inning affairs in which the Ag gies were the home team and only batted in six innings. Eng lert finished the season with a .420 average, certain to rank among the best in the nation. In 102 games at A&M, Englert posted a career batting average reer, A&M won 83 games and lost 31, a .728 percentage. Despite missing his freshman year, Englert set the A&M ca reer record for hits with 149. He also set the season record for hits with 60. But Englert’s worth to the Ag gies extended past his bat work. Against arch-rival Texas, for ex ample, he had 19 putouts in three games in centerfield and threw out the tying run at the plate with two out in the bottom of the ninth inning in the second game which A&M won 7-6. He also threw out a runner in the first game, but the catcher dropped the ball making the tag. Englert is a top candidate for Player of the Year honors in the Southwest Conference and is a cinch to make the all-conference team for the third consecutive year. As a junior, Englert shared Most Valuable Player honors with All-America Dave Elmen dorf. The Texas Aggies have had many great players over the years, from Wally Moon to Dave Johnson, the all-star second base- man for the Baltimore Orioles. Englert has to rank among the best, and he is a bona fide All- America candidate if there ever was one. Living in Houston can be rewarding. • 'i-. y ‘- .,;••• .-•» . * v V S . a.: ! - r&- o ..

The ques tion was the pins.” A .316 hitter in 1970, his sec ond season with the Reds, Tolan also led the National League with 57 stolen bases before mis fortune struck not once but twice in 1971. While participating in an off season basketball game, the fleet outfielder suffered a torn Achil les tendon and missed the start of the baseball season. Then, while he was running in the outfield May 7 at Los An geles, the tendon snapped again and forced an operation. “I took extra time this time making sure I was ready,” said Tolan, who sat out all of last summer and worked hard in the winter. “I went to the ball park every day and worked with weights,” he said. “Then I’d spend time running in front of my house. It was a matter of regaining the strength and the confidence. “I didn't want to talk too much about baseball during the winter, and my wife was a help, knew it meant so much I even want to talk.” Since going hitless in the son opener, Tolan has taket on a 10-game hitting streaki is winging with his fastest j in the majors. His 25 hits include seven j hies, a triple and three h runs, all adding up to a t« leading 16 RBI. Furthermore he’s scored runs and has stolen eighth in nine tries, second onlj teammate Joe Morgan’s niinj nine. “I’ve slowed down a littlej only on my start,” Tolan s “I get up in the mon,i,| CHA I limp, I actually limp foe f ma] or three minutes,” he added,■ A mB1 once I get warmed up andff, a .f starts it «tl| bmld,n8i game me.” Reds manager Sparky ■ance to r Ine” steril ■The Sea Bruce Crampton man to beat at Houston Open Golf tourm HOUSTON LT)—Australian Bruce Crampton, forging one of the best records on the pro tour this year, ranked as the man to beat in a relatively thin field as sembled for the $125,000 Hous ton Open Golf Tournament. The new event, a 72-hole test that replaces the old Houston Champions International on the schedule, begins Thursday on the 6,995-yard par 72 Westwood Country Club course. Most of the game’s top stars are taking the week off and only nine of the top 25 money winners of the season are included in the field of 147. The field further was trimmed Wednesday as J. C. Snead, Dave Hill, Bob Shaw and Gay Brewer withdrew. Brewer, a former Masters champ, has had a recur rence of stomach troubles that forced him out of action for three weeks. Jack Nicklaus, Lee Trevino, Arnold Palmer, Billy Casper, Tony Jacklin of England and Gary Player of South Africa all are missing for one reason or another. son, recalling Tolan’s rolein|M|, a pi an ] cinnati’s drive to the 19711 an d pennant, is among those wou i ( lieve Tolan’s all the way liB den t into “He’s just taken up wkerB^ ^ ea left off in ’70,” Anderson t,; L, new [nate in i of the live an ; 100,000. “This sui me froir nds,” say So is Chi Chi Uodriguei, itor 0 f { little Puerto Rican who snqB nter f or a long slump with his victor last week’s Byron Nelson Clti rFunds In addition to the veti ■uld most Crampton, the only memln Ite from c the top 25 money winnen tnd raisini hand are Bobby Mitchell, I Ve would Jones, Bob Murphy, rookie« c ^ nS ny Wadkins, Miller Barber,® ., aS Tit It WG • 1st stimula Aaron, Homero Blancas and!
