Wiley Opening Pitcher In Iowa State Series
Sophomore ace Ron Wiley will be KU's opening pitcher today in the first game of a two-game series with Iowa State, beginning at 3 p.m. Bob Shirley will pitch Saturday's contest, which starts at 2 p.m.
Today's game will be the first action for Coach Floyd Temple's team after a week's layoff in which the second Oklahoma game and the entire Nebraska series were rained out.
The Cyclones, who are trying to break a six-game losing streak, will pit Phil Groth against Wiley in the first game.
Groth will be trying for his first win of the season, against three defeats. Wiley has pitched four complete games this spring, and is the team's leading pitcher with four victories and no defeats. His Big Seven win was a four-hit, 19 to 1 trouncing of K-State.
Shirley will face the Cyclones' No 2 pitcher, Gary Black, in the Saturday encounter. Both Shirley and Black will be going for their first Big Seven win. Shirley lost the Big Seven season opener in a 2 to 1 pitching duel with K-State's Dick Stone.
Iowa State lost both of their conference games to Missouri. Kansas' record in the Big Seven is one victory and two defeats. Oklahoma handed the Jayhawkers their second loss 8 to 7.
The Jayhawkers' next series is May 11 and 12 against the Missouri Tigers at Columbia. The Tigers are second in the Big Seven with four victories and one defeat. They stand 10-2 for the season. The Jayhawkers are second in all games played standings with an 8-2 record, and fourth in the Big Seven standings.
Big 3' Holding Up Indians
By UNITED PRESS
It was like 1954 all over again for Al Lepez today with the Cleveland Indians' fabulous "big three" operating in high gear.
For the Indians are rolling with seven victories in their last eight games and it's none other than Mike Garcia, Bob Lemon and Early Wynn who are carrying the big pitching load.
Garcia struck out seven batters and hurled a neat six-hitter last night as the Indians scored a 7-1 victory over Baltimore. Lemon has a 2-1 record and Wynn a 3-0 plate.
Jim Lemon blasted a 475-foot, three-homer in the seventh inning to give the Washington Senators a 7-4 triumph over the Chicago White Sox. The New York Yankees took over first despite an 8-7 loss to the Kansas City Athletics.
Lemon's blow also dealt Billy Pierce his first defeat. Bob Chakales, who allowed only three hits in 73 innings, picked up his second victory in the Senators' last three games.
Ponderons Gus Zernial's surprise bunt single advanced Enos Slaughter into position to score the winning run on Harry Simpson's sacrifice fly and give Kansas City a ninth-inning decision over the Yankees, Ed Burtschy was the winning Athletic pitcher.
Frank Sullivan pitched a six-hitter to give the Boston Red Sox a 5-2 win over Detroit. Dick Gernert and Frank Malzone hit two-run homers for the Red Sox.
In the National League, Roy Campanella, Gil Hodges and Carl Furillo hit third-inning homers as the Brooklyn Dodgers won 7-3 over the St. Louis Cardinals. Don Newcombe was the winner.
Ft. Leonard Wood Meet Cancelled

Last Friday, April 27, the Tiger netmen served up a 4, to 3 defeat for the Jayhawks. As in the Washburn match, the deciding matches were again the doubles, and Missouri swett both matches.
In addition to Riley, the squad consists of Dave Kane, Gene Kane, Bud Burke, and Delmont Hadley.
Delany Plans Hard Race With Landy
LOS ANGELES (UF)–Ron DeLaney, Villanova College sophomore who has run the fastest mile in the United States this year, said today he would put forth his greatest effort against John Landy here Saturday.
"I have nothing to go by in determining how well I can run against him. After all, he has run faster than four minutes on four occasions and that's a feat no one has matched.
"I'll be trying for the greatest effort of my career—that I can promise." Delany vowed.
Landy, although pointing for a four-minute mark in his first U.S. appearance, disclosed that he found the tracks here harder than those he ran on in Australia or Europe.
