Temple Leading Reds In First Place Drive
By UNITED PRESS
Johnny Temple is one of those players who missed a shot at "Rookie of the Year" honors because of a part major and part minor league existence, but he is shooting for stardom with Cincinnati this year as one of the National league's most improved batters.
Second baseman Johnny figures $ ^{\circ} $
that he used to spend his summers partly in Cincinnati, partly in Cincinnati, partly in Tulsa, and mostly on train rides between the towns, but from now on the shuttling is a thing of the past.
Today he was strumming his bat at a .378 hit tune average and he was also personally responsible for moving the Reds back into second place, half a game behind the idle pace-setting Phillies.
There was big competition between Temple and Rocky Bridges this spring, not only for the second job but for who could handle the biggest wad of chewing tobacco. Bridges claimed the tobacco chewing championship but Temple, at least for avail, has nailed down the infield post.
Yesterday, Temple paced the Reds to their second straight victory over the Giants, 5-4, driving in the winning run in the eighth and getting two other key hits. Lefty Harry Perkowski, who held the Giants to eight hits, weakened in the top of the eighth and yielded a two-run himer to Hank Thompson but Temple quickly restored the advantage with a single, after a bit batsman by relief pitcher John McCall, and a sacrifice.
Randy Jackson, another hot spring hitter, touched off the winning 11th inning rally with a single, moved to third on Ernie Banks' double and scored on George Shuba's left field error on the Banks' hit as Chicago topped Brooklyn 8-7. Milwaukee made it three straight over Pittsburgh 3-0 with Lew Burdette pittighive glove hit ball.
the American league, rookie Smith's first homer of the year proved he winning run in Cleveland's 3-2 night victory over Philadelphia, while the Yankees blanked Baltimore 9-0 and Chicago topped Washington 5-4. Detroit at Boston was rained out.
Ed Mathews drilled two singles and picked up two walks to pace the Braves behind Burdette, who let only one Pirate get beyond first Curt Roberts with a triple in the third inning.
Hal Jeffcoat, the former outfielder, gained his first pitching victory for the Cubs in a relief role as Jackson, Hank Seuer, and Dee Fondy hit home runs. Gil Hodges bui a Brooklyn homer.
Ex-National leaguer Willard Marshall drove in the winning run with a ninth innning single as the hot White Sox came from behind to defeat the Senators 5-4. Roy Sievers had put Washington in front with a homer but Canilo Pascal, Cuban rookie making his first start, yielded a two-out double in Nallie in the ninth Minute.
Toso singled for his fourth straight hit to tie the score and after Eyost fumbled Bob Boyd's grounder for an error, Marshall got the winning hit.
Allie Reynolds pitched one-hit ball for seven innings, then left with a cramp in his leg in New York's easy victory over Baltimore. Nor Niven get three hits and Yogi Eriza hit a homer while Joe Collins hit a triple and double.
Smith's homer, combined with Farty Lynn's seven-in pitching, enabled the Indians to edge the Athletics. Arnold Portocarrero, Philadelphia rookie, also gave only seven hits but suffered his first loss when Smith homered in the eighth. Vie Power homered for the Athletics.
Tackle Jim Stander of the University of Colorado has been signed by the Chicago Cardinals of the National Professional football league.

Kansas to Host Arkansas, Drake In Track Meet
With the feature attraction being Wes Santee's bid to set a new American record in the two mile race, KU will compete in a triangular meet with the University of Arkansas and Drake university in Memorial stadium starting at 1:30 p.m.
Coach M. E. "Bill" Easton said that Santee will attempt to run 8:50 or under which would easily set a new American record, for the present one held by Gunder Haegg of Belgium is 8:51.3 set on August 7, 1943. However, the world record of 8:40.4 set by Gaston Reiff of Belgium in Paris, France on Aug. 26, 1952 isn't likely to fall tomorrow.
Arkansas is entering 13 men in this meet including a former Kansas Class A mile champion, Alan Eshbaugh from Fredonia. Eshbaugh has run the mile in 4:14 this season and has been consistently well under 42:0.

TO GO TO
Dick Hazard, a javelin thrower, and Jerry Perchard, a hurdler, can both be counted on to give excellent performances, Coach Easton said. Hazard has thrown over 180 feet all season, and Perchard will be a definite threat to Bill Biberstein in both hurdles races.
Included in the Drake entries is Ray McConnell, the milier who competed in the Kansas Relays. McConnell finished fourth in the Glenm Cunningham mile and second in Bruce Drummond. Bruce Drummond has run consistently around 4:15 this season.
Coach Easton said that Drake two-miler, Bob Soth has run several fine races this season and can be counted on to give a good performance tomorrow.
This will be the first and only triangular meet of the outdoor season for the Jayhawks. In the indoor season KU competed in a triangular with Michigan State and Illinois in which it finished third.

Bannister Wants to Race Santee, Landy in Mile Run
Oxford, Eng.—(U.P.)-Blond lanky Roger Bannister, who stands at the pinnacle of sports fame as history's first four-minute miler, said today that now he would like to run in a match race against America's Wes Santee and Australia's John Landy.
Bannister said that such a meeting might lower still further the fantastic 3:59.4 record he set at the Ifley Road track yesterday.
Bannister, who said he had trained "especially for this race," disclosed that threatening weather had almost forced him to delay his record attempt.
It was only a few minutes before the race that Bannister and Chris Chataway, his colleague with whom he trained in secret sessions all winter, passed the word around to the officials that Roger would try for "a really fast mile."
That put the record within Roger's reach and the strapping blond took it from there with a heart-pounding 58.7 clocking for the last quarter mile. Chataway hung on gamely until 300 yards from the end, and then fell back to finish in 4:07.2.
Chataway, who had trained himself loyally for the purpose of driving Bannister through the first three quarters of a mile in exactly three minutes, fulfilled his role in the drama perfectly. After Chris Brasher had set a blazing pace for the first half mile, Chataway then raced stride for stride with Bannister and they passed the three-quarter mile in 3:00.7.
En route to the most amazing clocking in track history, Bannister passed the first quarter in 57.7 seconds. He clocked 60.6 seconds for the second quarter, and 62.4 for the third. At the 1,500 meter mark, he was timed in 3:43 flat, thus equalling the world record for that distance held by Gundar Haegg of Sweden, Lennart Strand of Sweden, and Werner Lueg of Germany.
Native Dancer will return to the racing wars tomorrow in the $15,000 Commando purse at Belmont.
