Kluch Starts Co-Holder, Texas City- Ganders Try To Break Second Place Baytown winds Up the second week of 12-4A baseball at 7 p.m. Thursday at Texas City before heading for Bryan for its second tournament of the season. The Ganders, scheduled for a 3:30 p.m. game Friday at Bryan, are defending champions and are scheduled for at least two games in the double elimination play. Finals in the tournament are Saturday.

I Ronnie Kluch got Thursday's starting assignment against 12-4A's defending champion Sting- arees. He was scheduled to start against Pasadena Tuesday night before coach Don Treuhardt made a last-minute switch and brought Robert Oliver back after a weekend rest. Kluch had worked eight innings against Lamar in Houston's one- day Boys Club tournament Sat- urday, while Oliver had not worked since Friday at Brazosport. Jerry Kemplay makes up the other half of the battery, alternating with Richard Walker, who worked against Pasadena. Elsewhere, the lineup remains generally the same except at first base where Oliver may start for Buddy Ueckert.

Treuhardt takes his club against Texas City, looking for a chance and fields a veteran club that to break up the second place deadlock between Baytown and the Stings. Both clubs have lost one game and both have lost-to Pasadena. The Eagles beat Texas City 3-1 in the opener, but the Stings have bounced back for solid victories over South Houston and Galena Park. Texas City is the odd's on favorite to reclaim the district title: boasts six 1960 starters returning to the lineup. Virtually hitless in 1960, the Stings have improved considerably in this department and currently have eight boys hitting above .300.

Gene Leonhardt, who saw very little action last year, leads the hitting attack with .385 while Robert Buchanan holds the top district batting average with .800. Baytown probably will catch veteran hurler Ricky Sharp Thurs- day, who posted a 7-0 record last year. Sharp hasn't been so luckj this season, but he has performed solidly and has received gooc support from Rocky Schaper, wh might turn out to be the Stings best on the mound. Pacing the Sting infield is Dor Higgs. all-district second baseman in 1960, Regis Wrobleski a third, Mike Pace at first and Rog Bun at sh stop.

"I understand they've been cry ing all winter that the better team lost the series," he said. "Well you can tell them for me they're riot only the worst World Series team I ever saw but the poorest sports We'd have won it in four straight if it weren't for injuries they win the pennant again this year, we'll beat 'em again, I don't know about them but we'l win again.

You can bank on Murtaugh, who earned the manager of the year award by lead ing the Pirates to their first flag in 33 years, nodded in agreement "The fellows are determined to win it he said. "They're out to prove they're no one-sho champs," Last spring, after the Pirates fourth place finish in 1359, Murtaugh pointed out that too many players had bad seasons at the same time and said it couldn'i possibly happen two years in succession. So it was pointed out to that nearly all of the Pirates enjoyed good seasons in 1960 and was it reasonable to expect them to repeat? "I don't agree mat all had outstanding seasons," he said, "I i would say only Dick Groat had a better than normal year He never hit as high as .325 before. On the other hand. Bob Skinner, normally a .325 to .330 hitter, batted only .273.

Look at the rest Hoak, Bob Clementc, Bill Virdon, Bill MazerosM, Smoky Burgess, Hal Smith All hit about as expected. None of them had an exceptional year. Not one hit as high as .300. I think all of them are capable of doing better. Dick Stuart hit 23 homers and drove in 83 runs playing part time.

He should do better if he gets to play 1 The team will be virtually the sam that won the 1960 flag by seven games. The only openings may be on the pitching staff and on the bench. Bobby Shantz, the little left-hander acquired in a trade with Washington, wfll be used strictly in relief.

Walters expects to play summer tour this year and hat hinted he'd likt to follow tennis seriously after his graduation from college If he makes a rt- spectable showing on the tours.

TWO BAYTOWN service clubs have offered to help with a varsity basketball tournament here next winter, coach Jay Bollinger said Wednesday. Both the Optimists, who have been active in school athletic activities and sponsored the Sophomore Tournament here last February, made the first offer, and Bollinger said the Kiwanis club also has expressed interest. Bollinger said he would probably try to card the tourney for Dec. 2 or Dec. 9, if everything works out.

"FRIDAY WAS kind of a dreary day," Bollinger recalled on the Goose Creek golf course as be walked a pair of his varsity hitters around three holes. 'It was cold and I didn't fed too good. "Then somebody told me about Carl Clark (all district eager from Pasadena) getting married and becoming ineligible next year, and I smiled and felt good all afternoon."
