WHERE'S THE BASKET?-Gene Elstun, Kansas forward, prepares to shoot as teammate Maurice King and K-State's Nugent Adams and Dick Stone surround his field goal attempt.
"I can swing again and it doesn't hurt," Campanella said. "All last year, even in the spring, my hand didn't feel right. But I'm all right now.
The World Series of 1887 involved 15 games as Detroit whipped St. Louis 10 to 5 in a "traveling circus" that played in 10 different cities.
And the big factor in his failure was his ailing left hand, which was operated on for a bone chip in May and again in November to cure a "numb feeling" that had spread throughout the hand.

Campanella's Hand Better
Roy Campanella, who could be the key to the whole National league pennant race, issued a proclamation today that started cheering in Flatbush. "I'm all right now."
"I don't feel a bit of pain in the hand," the Brooklyn Dogger catcher said after smashing five long drives in yesterday's first practice of spring training. "My hand feels as good as it ever did."
Nothing could be better news to the Dodgers, for Campanella's collapse from "most valuable player" of 1953 with a .312 batting mark and 14 homers to a .207 average and 19 homers last year was one of the biggest reasons for the Dodger's collapse.
