Williams of Borger,
e’s home run leader
with 24 and the man who has
accounted for the most h»«e«
(198), stepped Into the West
Texas-New Mexico Leagues
batting leadership as well this
week.
The Gasser star was batting
at a .416 clip, four points
ahead of Hershel Martin of Al-
buquerque. Joe Fortin of Pam-
pa at .410, Pedro Santiago of
Lamesa at .409 and Lyle Pal-
mer of Albuquerque at .400
rounded out the top five.
Fortin, Palmer and Jodie Bel-
ief of La mesa shared the doub-
les lead (28), Crawford How-
ard of Amarillo had the most
hits (112) and Cliff Dooley of
Lubbock, who has scored a run
for every hit he’s made, topped
the run-getters with 94.
In the pitching department,
Chris Haskins of Lubbock had
the best record (10-2) among
the regulars, although Roy
Parker of Pampa had won the
most games (14),had the most
strikeouts (123), worked the
most innings (146) and had the
most complete games (13).
Six of the eight clubs still
were clouting the ball at bet-
ter than .300 with Borger’s
.338 setting the pace, 16 points
ahead of Pampa.
Fred Besana Twirls
Three-Hit 5-2 Win
By United Press
Pampa retained its 1-V4 game
lead over the Lubbock Hubbers
Saturday in the West Texas-
New Mexico League race.
The Oilers stopped third-
place Lamesa 5-3 Friday night
as Roy Parker settled down
after a shaky first inning in
which Lamesa courfted twice
to pitch a nine-hit triumph.
The Hubbers unleashed a
10-run splurge in the top of the
10th to break up a 5-5 tie and
humiliate Abilene before the lat-
ter's home fans 15-5.
Borger, working behind Ed
Carnett’s nine-hurling, won the
opener of a twin bill from Clov-
is 15-4, but dropped the night-
cap 9-3. The split, however,
pulled the Gassers to within
two games of Lamesa.
Albuquerque got the best
pitching of the night as Fred
Besana let Amarillo down with
three hits as the Dukes chalk-
ed up a 5-2 verdict.
In general the best watchdogs
are said to be those with upright
ears, which seem ready to pick
up the lightest sound.

Maybe the baseball lias been
souped up and maybe it hasn't.
Whatever the reason, too many
homers are being hit,. What’s
needed are a few rule changes,
such as:
RULE l.oi to lie amended as
follows
“Two teams of 12 players
each, with the three new play-
ers to lie stationed in the stands
or beyond the outfield fences,
at the discretion of the manag-
Gl’S.”
RULE 1.18 to lie amended as
follows:
“Each player, other than the
first baseman and the catcher,
is restricted to the use of a lea-
ther glove . . . They shall also
he permitted to use a net sus-
pended from a 12-foot jiole,
fashioned from slippery elm
wood, to catch drives over their
heads.”
RULE 6.08 (e) to be amend-
ed as follows:
“(A home run is) a fair fly
ball which passes over a fence
or into the stands, it being un-
derstood that the batter uses
only one hand in swinging at
the hall and is standing on one
leg at the time. Any other hat-
ting stance means the umpire
shall declare the hatter auto-
matically out.”
A NEW RULE, 7.13, shall be
inserted, reading:
“If at any time, a batter fails
to hit. a home run. he shall be
fined, suspended, released out-
right to Pocatello add any run-
ners on base at thf time shall
be moved back one «base.”

Employment Hits
For Of 23 Months
WASHINGTON, (UP) —
Employment in June hit a 23-
month peak of 61,482,000, the
census bureau said. It barely
missed reaching the all-time
peak of July. 1948.
Unemployment rose only
327,000 since May to 3,384,000.
The rise, due entirely to en-
trance into the labor market of
school and college students, was
smaller than expected. T.ast
year the increase for the same
period was 489,000.
