SWING COWPOKE SWING—An Aggie batsman gets ready to take a lusty cut at one of Wayne Tiemier's offerings in yesterday's game on the home diamond. The Oklahoma A&M squad, who have won 11 straight games, beat the Kansas team 5 to 4 in 11 action-filled innings. Tiemeyer went nine innings and was then relieved by Ben Dalton who received the loss, his first of the season. Winning pitcher was Tom Borland who has won four and lost none this year.
Alston's Bums Take Eighth Straight Game
By UNITED PRESS
Rookies Don Zimmer and Ed Roockt threw their weight in Brooklyn's early "penrant push" today as the rampant Dodgers sought a ninth straight victory which would equal the Major league record for a fast getaway.
Zimmer, filling in for the ailing Peewee Reese, blasted a two-run homer which produced the winning margin last night while Roebuck, a 24-year-old right-hander, e a m e through with a fine relief performance for the second straight game in the Dodgers' 7-6 win over the Philadelphia Phillies. The victory ran Brooklyn's winning streak to eight games.
Brooklyn's sizzling opening pace has shaken Alston's sluggies loose from every other team in the circuit except the pennant-minded Milwaukee Braves, who squeezed out a 3-2 win over the Chicago Cubs yesterday. The Braves, combining sound pitching with a dangerous attack, had won 5 of their 7 games to stay within $ \frac{1}{2} $ games of the Dodgers. No other team in the circuit is more than one game over 500 and the world champion Giants trail the Dodgers by 54 games.
Right-hander Gene Conley struck out seven batters to gain his first win of the year for Milwaukee when Bob Rush cracked in the eighth inning and forced in the winning run with four walks. Hank Aaron, who has hit safely in all the Braves' games, tripled home a run and scored on Bobby Thomson's single to give Conley a 2-0 first-inning lead. The Cubs battled back with single runs in the fifth and eighth innings only to suffer their third straight loss. They had opened the season with four wins in five games.
The St. Louis Cardinals beat the Cincinnati Redlegs, 6-5, on Bill Sarni's bases-filled single in the 1th inning in the only other National league game. In the American league, the Kansas City Athletics rallied for five runs in the ninth inning to beat the Cleveland Indians, 8-7.

Bill Wilson's single with the bases filled and two out climaxed the Athletics' rally which snapped a five-game losing streak. Two homers by Al Rosen and one by Ralph Kiner give rookie Herb Score a 7-3 lead in the ninth but he faltered and the Athletics went on to win against Mike Garcia.
Harold Church, athletic director at Central Union high school in El Centro, Calif.. said several items stolen from the gym office had been returned through the mail.
Albert Taylor, caddy master at the Baton Rogue Country club, was charged yesterday with breaking a six iron over a caddy's head.

203 Prep Teams in Relays
Wichita East will attempt to defend its Class AA title in the fifty-first annual Kansas interscholastic relays Friday. The Blue Aces, who have won 11 out of the last 12 meets, won the title last year by upsetting favored Shawnee-Mission, and are picked by many observers to retain the crown.
Al altogether some 203 high schools will attend the day-long meet, with competition in three classes—AA, A, and B. Broken down, there are 37 schools entered in the AA class; 58 in the A division, and 108 in class B. The hometown Haskell Indians are the defending champions in class A and Lewis was last year's class B titleholder.
One of the features of the meet will be the expected duel between two topnotch sprinters, Charles Tidwell of Independence and Henry Weibe of Newton. Tidwell won gold medals in the 100, 200, and 180-ward
low hurdles last year, but Weibe's outstanding performances t hi s spring make him a distinct threat.
The class AA entries include, Argentine, Shawnee-Mission, Wyandotte, Ward, Washington Rural of Bethel, Wichita East, Summer, Junction City, Independence, Manhattan, El Dorado, Derby, McPherson, Wellington, Great Bend, Topeka, Atchison, Chanute, Leavenworth, Hutchinson, Wichita West, Wichita North, Coffeyville, Ottawa, Salina, Lawrence, Dodge City, Highland Park, Winfield, Garden City, Arkansas City, Fort Scott,Chanute, Pittsburg, Emporia, and Newton.
Yesterday's Star—Rookie Ed Roebuck, whose second straight fine relief performance was a key factor in the Brooklyn Dodgers' eighth straight victory—a 7-6 decision over the Phillies.
