OFFICIAL SCORERS IN THE major league games .ire experienced baseball w riters Thvy arc paid $2.>.00 per game for this job ami II is up to their quick decision as to the scoring. One must nunember that they are human beings, and hk<* we mentiuned. mu:lt make the call at the time of the play, not 10 or 15 minutes later Also, they are in the pn»ss row and do not always have the real g<x>d angle from which to call the play Every now and then, they will call the dugouts and verify a play before making the official judgement Many times one will read where a decision has been ' hanged later and this has even happened to tho extent that it has been brought before the commissioner’s attention. SCORING IS A HARD JOB and many things have to be considered. Not always are the guys with the best fielding averages the best fielders. Some players cover much more territory than others and often will make an error on a ball that another man would never field. Marty Marion, the former Cardinal great at shortstop made plays at that time that seemed almost impossible but m-ver-t he-less, didn't lead the league in percentage very often Ernie Banks, who set the record fo r percentage for a shortstop, certainly didn't make the plays that many other short stops made, but still appears in the record books. ANY INFIELDER OR OCT fielder that leads the league m fielding percentages can be just, a medrxne fielder Foi instance, 1 <tl Kluzewski, the monstrous first baseman of the Cincinnati Reds a few yeai-s ago, led the league in fielding several times but the ground he covered didn't begin to compare with many ot the othei first basemen of that t inie. A FEW OTHER RECORDS of many yens are either f illing m threatened to fall. Os course lust year everyone remembers Roger Maris who broke Babe Ruth's record for homers in a season as he crashed 61 Many won't accept this record cither as he did it in 162 games as opposed to the 151 game schedule Ruth played.

I SCIENCE | TOPICS Prolonged weightlessness may not affect man. but plants potential sources of oxygen and food on long space voyages go crazy without the restraining influmcs ot gravity. Prof Charles Lyons, Dartmouth College botanist working on the problem foi the Natinnal Aeronautics and Space Administration, reports that plants in a weightless state become twisted. Leaves and brain ht^s fold back around the stem, overlap, curl and twist. The roots of seedlings, he says, often spring up out of the soil instead of down into it And even aftei these problems are .solved the professor believes, the effects ot space ship vibrations on plant - will Lw ino>e difficult to nullify.
