Weak-Hitting KU Has One Hitter Over .300
Lack of hitting seems to be the main drawback on the University of Kansas baseball squad as the Jayhawkers take a week and a half layoff before meeting Iowa State at Ames May 6 and 7.
Leading hitter on the team is captain Forrest "Punky" Hoglund with a .319 average. Hoglund has 15 hits in 47 trips to the plate. He is the only man on the squad batting above the .300 mark.
First baseman Bill Heitholt, last year's leading hitter, is second with a .279 average. Heitholt hit well on the Jayhawkers southern road trip but has gone into a slump since returning home.
Outfielder Bob Conn, who appears to be the long ball hitter of the team, has a .250 average for the third highest average of the regulars. Pitchers Ben Dalton and Wayne Tiemeyer also have .250 averages.
Kansas now has a record of four wins against eight losses and has lost its only two conference games. The Jayhawkers have two games apiece left on their schedule with Colorado, Missouri, Iowa State, Oklahoma, and Kansas State. All are conference games. Colorado and Missouri are home games while the others are on the road.

Yanks, Dodgers Win Again
The softiest job in the Major Leagues these days is being a relief pitcher for the Detroit Tigers.
By UNITED PRESS
Thursday night, Lefty Billy Hoeft, the "Kid" veteran from Oshkosh, Wis., pitched the Tigers to their fifth straight victory, 4-1, with a nifty six-hit effort over the Washington Senators. The 22-year-old Hoeft, who is in his fourth season with Detroit, pitched a three-hitter against the Cleveland Indians in his last outing.
In fact, the whole bullpen crew may have to apply for unemployment compensation if the Tiger starters keep up their present pace. The Detroit pitching staff, ably coached by that wily old right hander, Schoolboy Rowe, has turned in eight complete games, every one a winning effort, or more than any other team in the Majors.
In other American league games, Ike Delock pitched the Red Sox to a three-hit, 3-1 triumph over Chicago and the Yankees trimmed the Athletics 11-4. Cleveland and Baltimore had an open date.
Detroit, pushing into a second place tie with idle Cleveland has won eight games and lost five. The only defeats were when the starter failed to go the distance.
Home runs decided the outcome in three National league games. Willie Jones homered in the ninth to give Robin Roberts of the Phils a six-hit, 3-2 triumph over Milwaukee. Carl Furillo's seventh homer with two on gave Brooklyn a 4-2 win over the Cubs and Ray Jablonski provided the victory for Cincinnati by driving in all the runs with a homer and double in a 3-2
decision at Pittsburgh. The Giants topped the Cardinals, 6-4, as reliever Marv Grissom pitched his way out of two bases-loaded jams.

Furillo's homer, which put him nine games ahead of Babe Ruth's record pace of 1927, delivered the 13th Dodger triumph in 15 games. It came after Bob Rush had pitched one hit ball for six innings and had provided both Chicago runs with a homer of his own.
Grissom, working in his eighth game out of 13 played by the Giants, held St. Louis to three hits in $2^3$ innings to save Jim Hearn's third victory. Four Cardinal errors gave the Giants two unearned runs. Stan Musial hit a St. Louis homer. Don Mueller's two hits gave him the
Jones's homer, his fourth, broke up a duel between Roberts and loser Lew Burdette, who yielded only four hits. The Milwaukee hurler beat the Phils five times without a defeat last season.
Jablonski lived up to his reputation of "good-hit, no-field." After his homer put Cincy ahead 1-0, he let in a run on a wild throw, but took himself off the hook with a two-run double that gave Gerry Staley his second victory.
