Joey Jay Tops ER Department NEW YORK (AP) - Joey Jay, largely responsible for Cincinnati's rise to the top of the National League, is the circuit's earned run leader at the season's halfway mark. The 25-year-old right-hander, ob tained from Milwaukee last winter, has allowed only 39 earned runs in 132 innings for a 2.66 average, figures compiled by The Associat ed Press showed today.

The 37-ycar old right-hander led the National League in EHA with 2.43 in 1952 while pitching for the Giants. As a member of the. Orioles in 1959, Wilhelm topped the AL with a 2.19 average.

Jay Kalon still maintains his lead in the driver point standings among the hard-toppers but all the other positions were changed as the new Kyle Rote Top Receiver ft took ten years, but Giant end Kyle Role finally got into the act. After a decade of serving as a decoy so other guys could catch passes, ' the former Southern Methodist University great wound up as the best of them all in 1961. Given the green light by offen sive coach Al Sherman, the 33- year-old Giant co-captain broke loose for 42 receptions, rolling up 750 yards and scoring ten touch downs. It was the most productive cam paign of Kyle's distinguished pro career, and also the third best one- season receiving mark in Giant history, topped only by Frank Gifford's 55 catches in 1956 and Bill Swiacki's 47 in 1949. Rote's statistical achievements last year merely lent corrobora tion to what most National Foot ball League folks have known for a long time that Kyle is one of the game's great receivers. Labors 'As Decoy Up until last season, however, Rote had labored as a decoy. His assignment, in most instances, was to roam downfield and lure enemy defenders away from fellow Giant receivers. Now in his 11th pro season and still limited hy a knee injury dat ing back to 1951. his rookie year, itote is not particularly fast or shifty. But his artistic feinting and tantalizing change of pace makes him one of the toughest receivers in Hie game lo cover. However he manages lo get the ball, Kyle has been doing a good job of it for the Giants. His 45 touchdown catches are a club record. So is his total Yardage of 4,003. He has caught 248 passes, second only to Gilford's 257, and should he un disputed Giant leader in this de partment hy the end of the 1961 season. One out of every five pass es hauled in by Rote over the years has heen for a touchdown. And every lime he has caught an aerial, it has averaged out to a 16 1 yard gain for the Giants.
