La Vega will be host to Connally Cadets at .10 o'clock this afternoon and will meet Waco Tech's Trojans in another non-dis- tHct baseball game Thursday at Katy Park.

Either Moran or third Donald Pringle may be La Vega's starting pitcher today. In scoring his fourth victory of the season, Rutherford twirled a near-perfect game. He walked only cme batter, hit another, and struck out nine. The Pirates were held to five hits by Gatesv'ille's Gene McAllister but made those blows count and stole five bases. The Buccaneers sewed up the victory in the first inning with a four run surge.

Bobby Tacker walked, Donald Richardson was safe when his bunt was thrown wild, and Pringle walked to fill the bases. Kenneth Hem singled off the third baseman's glove to bring in one run and then Moran blasted a three-run double to left center. He was thrown out trying to stretch it into a triple. After first baseman Bobby Arnold ruined RutJierford's no-hitter with a to left center in the fourth inning, the Pirates got their final run in the sixth. Moran ain- gled, stole second, took third on Bennie Nolen's single, and came Pirates Shut Out Tyler Again, 10-0 By CAMPBELL Newt-Trfbvne Sports Editor Young Waco righthander Ronald Sheetz left fielder Jack Tails combined taients Tuesday night, and the combination was as timely for the Pirate cause as breakfast in bed.

Sheetz hurled a three-hit shutout and Falls smashed three hits, including a bases-loaded hcmier, as the Pirates embarrassed league-leading Tigers for the second straight night. 10 before 1,100 fans. The game was sliced to six innings because of a heavy rain, which apparently was as welcome to Tyler manager Salty Parker as it was to McLennan County farmers. The victory marked the second Waco shutout in a row m'er the loop leaders and gave the Pirates a sweep of their four-game home stand. They now have won five in a row.

The battered Tigers get a chance for revenge on their home grounds tonight, meeting Waco in Tyler, and for the Pirates Ray Salgado will open on the mound. Don Kildoo is scheduled to start the Thursday night game against the Tigers. Play was two-thirds through the seventh inning when the rains came, with the stands emptying in nothing flat when the front arrived. Moe Santomauro had led off the seventh with a double and moved on around to score on two infield outs when play was halted. The downpour out that part of the game and enabled Sheeit to score hit shutout.

Waco roughed up Tyler starter Bill Spieth in emphatic fashton last night, and the strong-armed Falls played the biggest role. Returning to actkjn after a week on the bench, he doubled home Ray Zona for first run in the opening inning, then routed Speith in the aecond with his four-run blast. Orlando Zgraggen came on to the rescue, and pitched with fo-ao results the rest of the way. The Pirates added two more runs in the fourth on a single by Sheetz, a double by George Matile and a Tyler error. They ended the fireworks in the sixth with the ninth and tenth runs, gained on a walk to Rex Babcock, another safety by Falls, a base on balls to Jack Paepke and base hits by Sam Cooper and Ramon Mejias.

Catching the baseball has never been a problem with Rex Babcock, sharp fielding second base's man. but hitting has.

But shown tremendous improvement in the stick department since he first broke into professtonal baiebtll at Hutchinion. in 1952. Babcock, now 30, rapped the for .379 last season in the Western Association League, bouncing out 30 doubles, eight triples and eight home runs. He also drove in 82 runs. That does not sound like a bad bargain for an infielder, especially if he can field and make the double play as can Babcock.

But his first season at Hutchinson was another matter. Babcock hit only .204 and struck out a total of 135 times, the biggest fan total for the league. However, hit ever-improving batting eye cut that to 95 last year and his aver age rose even more impressively. fielding also improved a bit last and he stood at the top in field at his position with a .965 average, very good for a second baseman that covers lots of ground. He also had a hand in 103 double plays, again the best for secofid basemen in the Western Association.

Babcock, who weighs 170 pounds and stands an even six feet, is married name is Kathryn) artd is classified 1-A in the draft. He went right into baseball after graduating from Santa Ana, high school. During the offseason he works in a clothing store. Those big home rum always thrill a hitter, especially one who doesn't connect too often, and Babcock remembers a.game-win­ ning ninth inning grand slam at Hutchinson while the team was fighting to get into fint place as his best stick shot.
