SPORTS University Daily Kansan, July 6. 1984 Page 8 The University Daily KANSAN Semi-pro club keeps KU players sharp By PHIL ELLENBECKER Sports Editor Area fans who want to see topflight baseball need venture no further than the Holcolm Baseball Complex, just off 25th and Iowa Streets. The Maupintour Travellers, a semi-professional team that includes several Jayhawk players, play every Sunday at 7:30 p.m. Lawrence didn't have a semi-pro team until last year, when Walt Houk, the founder and manager of the Travellers, convinced Maupintour to sponsor a team. The Travellers compete in the area Stan Musial League, which includes five Topeka teams, two Kansas City teams, a Leavenworth and an Emporia team. "It's a pretty tough league," Houk said. "The teams we play are a little bit better than an average junior college team, and then there are one or two teams that are as good as Big Eight teams. "All the teams will hit or play defense. Sometimes a team's pitching will fall off on nights that they've won against games three or four (days in a row) Dan Christie, first baseman for the Travellers, who played for KU this spring, said. "The pitching is really not too bad in this league. The main difference is that in the Big Eight the pitchers seem to be a lot more polished and around the plate more. The pitchers throw a little bit harder in the Big Eight, but not much." The Travelers have a 13-3 record this season, with 15 games left on the schedule before the state Stus Musial Tournament in Topeka Aug. 2-6. Three home games remain and Pola comes to town Sunday. The next two Sundays the Travellers host Emporia and the Kansas City Old Timers. The Emporia team includes many players from the Emporia State team, which advanced to the NAIA National Championships this spring. The only teams the Travellers have lost to this season are Papillion, Neb., the Kansas City Raiders and Hutchinson. Houk said the Raiders have six former professional players on their team, and Hutchinson is "probably as good as the team which won the College World Series." Brett Morris, a freshman pitcher for the Jayhawks last year, was the Travellers' losing pitcher against Hutchinson. He has a 2-1 record this summer with 13 strikeouts in 19 innings and a 4.20 earned run average. But his ERA was inflated by his outing against Hutchinson, when he gave up seven runs. Going into last night's game against the Topeka Flyers, Christie was batting 444 with a team-leading 28 RBI. He was tied for the team lead in home runs with four. other Maupintour players who played for KU this spring include John Hart and Kevin Kroeker. John Glenn and Jon Francis, former KU players who were ineligible this spring, also play for Maupintur. Hart, who will be a sophomore at KU, had a 400 batting average going into Thursday's action. His defense has also been impressive as he has thrown out many runners from his left field position. Kroeker, who was the Jayhawks' leading pitcher this spring as a senior, had a 2-0 record with a 4.10 ERA for Maupintour before being sidelined for the season with tendonitis. Glenn, who will be a senior, has a 431 average with three homers and 18 RBI, and has been playing third base. Francis, who splits catching duties with Kent Shelley, has a .227 average. Houk said that all but two Maupintour players had played at the collegiate level. While some KU players have elected to stay in Lawrence this summer, others have gone elsewhere to play summer ball. Phil Doherty, Chuck Christenson and Bill Yellon are playing for a team in Cortland, N.Y. John Quinn is playing in Wichita, Jon Steiner is playing in Tulsa, Okla., and Hugh Stanfield is playing in St. Louis. "We're usually able to find a place for everybody to play," said KU baseball coach Marty Pattin. "We try to get them in good leagues. We'd like to get a few more in the Jayhawk League (the league in southwestern Kansas that Hutchinson is) in next year and try to get some in the Cape Cod League on the East Coast." But if a player wants to stay in Lawrence in the summer, he can now do so and still keep his game sharp with the Travelers. Houk said that the Travelers might schedule some home games at KU's Quigley Field next year. They played against games because Quigley bag no lights. "We elected to play our home games on Sunday night this year." Houk said. "We have some really good turnouts so we prefer to play at night. We have the full cooperation of Marty and his staff if we want to play at Quigley." SPORTS ALMANAC AMERICAN LEAGUE W 1. L Pct.
