Porterfield Beats Sox, Dodgers Set Record

Easy-going Bob Porterfield, popularly known as "Porterhouse" around the Washington clubhouse, could be just the man who'll help the long-starved Senators to a rare slice of first division money this year.
Porterfield came through like a charm yesterday when he struck out seven batters, bore down especially well in the pinches and pitched the Senators to a three-hit 1-0 triumph over the league-leading Boston Red Sox. Only one Boston runner, Faye Thorneberry, got as far as third base but he was stranded there in the ninth inning as Bullet Bob retired Harry Agganis on a fly ball for the final out.
The Senators haven't cut into the first division pot since 1946 but Manger Chuck Dressen says he thinks they'll do it this year, particularly "if Porteffeid comes through for us."
The Senators broke through Tom Brewer for the only run of the game—and their first run in 20 consecutive innings—in the ninth on a walk to Roy Sievers plus back-to-back singles by Eddie Yost and Pete Runnels. The victory, Porterfield's second of the season, reversed a 1-0 Red Sox triumph of the night before and gave Washington a .500 mark for six games so far this year.
George Kell and Mike Fornelielles combined talents to give the White Sox a 9-1 victory over the Tigers. Kell smashed a grand-slam homer off missed Ned Garver in the third inning while Fornelielles limited the Tigers to five hits. Detroit's lone run was a result of Al Kaline's sixth inning home run. Chicago moved to within a game of pace-setting Boston by winning.
In the only other game scheduled in the American league, the New York Yankees crushed the Baltimore Orioles, 14-2. Bob Turley, acquired from the Orioles during the winter, had things all his own way as he struck out eight, gave up only five hits and was given a four-run cushion in the first inning. Hank Bauer smashed a homer for the Yankees leading off the first inning and Les Moss connected for one for Baltimore in the ninth. Lou Kretlow, first of
three Oriole hurlers, was charged with the loss.
Routing Robin Roberts with a seven-run rally in he seventh inning, the Dodgers erased the previous record of nine victories in a row at the outset held jointly by themselves, the Giants and the St. Louis Browns, who did it last in 1944, the year they won their only pennant.
Brooklyn hammered three Phillies' pitchers for 17 hits, including home runs by Jackie Robinson, Duke Snider, Sandy Amoros and Don Zimmer, who also had two doubles and a single. Russ Meyer started for the Dodgers but was relieved by Joe Black in the third. Black was the winner.
The only other National league game scheduled, New York at Pittsburgh, was postponed because of wet grounds.
Santee to Speak At K-Club Dinner
Wes Santee, Kansas' all-time great distance runner, will be guest speaker at the annual University of Kansas K-club banquet following the thirtieth running of the KU Relays Saturday. The dinner will begin at 6 p.m. in the Kansas room of the Student Union.
The event is held each year for prospective prep school athletes who will be attending the relays this weekend. The dinner gives the high school students an opportunity to meet Kansas athletes and coaches and also provides the Kansans a chance to become better acquainted with prospective future Jayhawks.
John McFarland, K-club president, also announced that Otto Schnellenbacher, former Jayhawk great and K-club member, will be the evening's master of ceremonies. In addition to Santee, each of the KU coaches will give a brief talk on the University's athletic program.

Routs Mark Softball Play
Routs were the rule rather than the exception yesterday as Sig Ep, Pearson, AFROTC, and Stephenson all notched easy victories. Sig Ep beat Alpha Epsilon Pi 10 to 1, Pearson romped past ROTC (?) 13 to 1, AFROTC downed Sigma Gamma Epsilon 13 to 1, and Stephenson defeated Political Science by forfeit.

AFROTC pounded out 21 base knocks in an easy 13 to 1 victory over Sigma Gamma Epsilon. The AFROTC attack was aided by 10 walks and several errors on the part of Sigma Gamma Epsilon.
The Sig Eps backed up strong pitching by Chuck Hedrick with a 20 hit attack to score a first round victory, 10 to 1. Joe Melton cracked out four hits and Hedrick helped his own cause with 3 bings.
Bob Crisler was stingy with base hits as Pearson scored an easy 13 to 1 victory over AROTC. Crisler gave up only 4 safeties and his control was almost perfect. Duane Dunn led a well-balanced Pearson attack with 3 hits in 5 trips to the plate.
KU Baseballers To Play Huskers
Kansas will open its Big Seven conference play in baseball at 3 p.m. Monday when it opens a two-game series with Tony Sharpe's University of Nebraska Cornhuskers.

Nebraska will bring a seven and one record into town for the series. The Cornhuskers beat Tulsa twice 10 to 9 and 2 to 1, split with Houston 8 to 4 and 2 to 7, beat Texas 18 to 15 and 16 to 14, and then shellacked Kansas State last week 13 to 2 and 15 to 0.
Nebraska has a goot hitting club but none of the pitchers has been able to last nine innings. Kansas on the other hand has had good pitching but has been weak at the plate.
Coach Floyd Temple's Jayhawkers have a four won, six loss mark, but have faced a little tougher opposition than Nebraska in Arkansas and Oklahoma A&M. The Kansas nine game A&M, the best college team in these parts, a scare here Tuesday before going down 5 to 4 in the eleventh inning.
Santee Aims Sights At 1500-Meter Mark
The world's record in the 1500-meter run may be broken tomorrow when Wes Santee makes his bid for the four-minute mile. Officials will be timing Santee as he crosses the 1500-meter mark so they will have the official time in case he does eclipse the world mark.
KU Rifle Team Defeats K-State
The Air Force ROTC rifle team defeated the Kansas State college AFROTC team, 1864 to 1730.
The win Wednesday gives KU two wins out of three over the K-State team this year.
High scorer for KU was Felix Lopez, engineering freshman, who shot a 384 out of 400 possible. Lopez scored what is considered very rare by Sgt. Bob Bumgardner, team coach, a perfect 100 out of 100 shots in a kneeling position during the match.

"My classmates talked me out of a job"
Ed Chandler had a good job all lined up long before he graduated from Georgia Institute of Technology as an Industrial Engineer. But then he changed his mind . . .
"When I got out of college in '50, I was all set to go with a company I'd worked for during a previous summer.
"But then I got called up by the Army. During the next two years I heard a lot of good things from my Georgia Tech classmates who'd gone to work for the telephone company. As far as I was concerned this was the best recommendation any company could get.
"My first year took me through every phase of handling and estimating costs on telephone equipment from warehouse to installation. I drew up plans for several projects, then went out in the field to see how they were carried out.
"So when I got out of the Army I stopped in to talk with the telephone people. When I saw an outline of their development program, I was sold.
"Now I'm helping develop next year's multi-million-dollar construction program for Georgia. I've found it an interesting and rewarding job."
