KU Has 10-6 Record For Baseball Season
By JACK LINDBERG
Kansan Assistant Sports Editor
The Kansas baseball team completed the season with a record of 10 victories and six losses, having three games cancelled, one with Kansas State and two with Missouri. In Big Seven conference play the Jayhawks had four victories and five losses.
KU opened the season with a road trip on which it beat Arkansas 9-4 and 9-5 and split with Tula winning 10-1 and losing 16-12. The Jayhawks then opened their home season with two more victories over Arkansas 5-2 and 13-4, and one over K-State 7-4.
A two game road trip to Nebraska proved fatal to the Jayhawks. They were beaten twice, 12-1 and 1-0, by the Cornhuskers, and in the second game they were a victim of a no-hitter. At Iowa State the KU team got back on the winning side by defeating the Cyclones twice, 6-1 and 3-2.
The two games with Missouri were rained out, and another with Rockhurst was cancelled before Kansas was able to play again. Rockhurst was the victim of a strong hitting attack when the Jayhawks returned into action as the Hawks bowed 12-6.
A road trip to Colorado knocked Kansas out of the running for the Big Seven title. The Hawks lost both games at Boulder 6-5 and 14-3.
Kansas finished the season by splitting a two game series with the Oklahoma Sooners, last years Big Seven baseball champs, winning the second game 7-3 after losing the first game 6-2.
John Trombold, KU's first baseman who is now the property of the Chicago White Sox, was the big offensive man in the Jayhawk lineup. Trombold finished the season with a batting average of .323 with 21 hits in 65 times at bat. Trombold also led the team in home runs with five, runs-batted-in with 17, and hits with 21.
In percentage. Bend Dalton and Bob Kaak led the team in hitting, each hitting .500. Dalton had four eight, and Kaak had one for two.
John Brose and Wayne Tieme were the winningest pitchers on the KU squad. Brose finished the season with four victories, and Tiemeir had three, Bob Shirley had two, and Fuzzy Martin had one win.
Tiemeiler and Shirley were charged with two losses each. and Brose and Dalton. were charged with the other two.
Coach Floyd "Nig" Temple, in his first year as baseball coach at the University, did a very creditable job. The team had hustle and spirit in every game, and Temple tried to "instil his baseball know-how" into each player.

11 to Start In Preakness
Baltimore, Md. —(U.P.)—With the favored Correlation, Hasty Road, Admiral Porter, and For Free already entered, a field of as many as 11 starters appeared possible today for Saturday's $100,000 Preakness at Pimlico.
There was some doubt about whether Hasty Road, the probable second choice in the 1 3/19 mile classic, would run, even though officially entered yesterday. Harry Trotke, trainer of the Hasty House farm colt, said yesterday just before leaving for Chicago, that Hasty Road might be scratched.
Troket said that Hasty Road did not like the Pimlico track and owner Allie Reuben might wish him withdrawn.
The entry box closes this morning but it was expected that most if not all of these seven colts would be entered before the deadline—Jet Action, Ring King, Nirgal Lad, Hasseyampa, Goyama, Giantic, and Galdar. Galdar was regarded as the least likely entry of this group.

Fiore, $146\frac{1}{4}$, sent the former collegiate welterweight champion from Janesville, Wis., to the canvas twice Wednesday night to record his eighth successive triumph.
Fiore Wants Better Bouts After Defeating Black
The 24-year-old Fiore, a former shoe shine boy from Brooklyn, said "T'll beat anybdy who can make the 147-pound limit. That includes Kid Gavilan, the champ."
Detroit—(U.P.)Carmine Fiore of Brooklyn, unbeaten in more than a year, was looking for bigger and better bouts today following an easy 10-round decision over Jed Black.
black, who weighed 144l, was uncertain about his future ring plans. He enters the Army Sunday as a second lieutenant and said he may not fight again.
Fiore's last defeat came at the hands of Carmen Basilio. Since that time he has beaten six fighters as Danny Womber, a conqueror of Gavilan, Joey Klein, and Italo Scorticini. However, he hasn't
tackled any of the high-ranking welterweights.
It was Flore's stinging left hook that spelled defeat for Black. A short left sent him to the canvas for no count in the third round, and another left dropped him for an eight-count in the seventh.
