KU in Thick of Race After Beating Cyclones
By DANA LEIBENGOOD and STAN HAMILTON
The KU baseball team picked up two victories over Iowa State here Friday and Saturday to get back into the thick of the Big Seven loop race with a 3-2 conference mark.
The Jayhawks, powered with a tremendous 350-foot home run by first baseman John Trombold, defeated the Cyclones 6 to 1 Friday, and then scored three unearned runs without the benefit of a hit in the eighth inning Saturday to win 3 to 2.
Kansas next will meet Missouri®
Friday and Saturday at Columbia.
Friday and Saturday at Cordova.
Bob Shireley, who allowed five hits, walked two, and fanned 10, earned the Friday decision, and lefty John Brose won Saturday. Brose, who was lifted for a pinch hitter in the eighth inning, gave the visitors only eight hits and one base on balls. Southpaw Wayne Tiemeier hurled the final inning and, except for a walk with two out, retired the side in order.
The triumphs gave the Kansans an 8-3 season record. Iowa State, which played its first league games, has won three of seven over-all.
The Jayhawks collected 11 hits Friday, with Bill Pulliam, Trombold, John Perry, and Punky Hoglund getting two apiece. KU sewed up that contest in the fifth inning when Shirley opened with a single. Two more singles by Pulliam and Bill Heitholt scored Shirley. Then Trombold blasted his home run onto Mississippi street to end the scoring.
The Cyclones got their lone tally in the second on two free passes and a single by right fielder Dave Campbell.
In the Saturday game the visitors got single runs in the second and third innings, both helped by KU errors.
An error by Hoglund allowed first baseman Al Machmer to gain second to lead off the second. After a force out the Cyclone came in on a line single to center by center fielder Bucky Weeden.
Pitcher Dale Drum led off the third with a one-base hit but was picked off on a quick tosst from Dun Ausg, catcher, to Trombould. Second baseman Bob Taylor followed with a single and then was caught off first by Brosse, Pulliam, on the rundown and Taylor made second from where he scored an out later on another single by Ray George.
Kansas had trouble soling Drum's pitching and got only three hits, one of them a scratch single by Trombold. But in the eighth the theretofore Cyclone tight defense collapsed to throw away apparent victory.
Harold Hixon pinch hit for Bill Blair and was hit with the first pitch. A ground out advanced him to second. A walk, an error on Pulliam's almost-sure double play grounder, and another base on balls brought Hixon in with run No. 1.
Then Bob Hermann, who had relieved Drum after the first walk, bobbled a grounder to let Shiley, who had walked for Brose, score. When Trombold grounded out Palliom scored the winning run.

Correlation Favored In Kentucky Derby
Agua Caliente, Mex. — (U.P.)—Odimsmakers grapped California-bred Correlation as an 8 to 5 favorite in the Kentucky Derby today, according to the final line of Agua Caliente's future book on the annual classic.
The odds dropped from 2 to 1 on Correlation after his Saturday victory in the wood memorial. Determine was a second choice with Fisherman at 5 to 2, and James Session was pegged at 10 to 1.
The National Basketball Association's directors ruled yesterday that Bevo Francis will not be eligible for professional basketball for two more years.
Australia's John Landy ran the three-quarters of a mile in 2:58.4 yesterday to better the world's record for the event by two seconds.
21 Games Played In Intramural Softball Leagues
Twenty-four softball games were scheduled over the weekend in three intramural leagues. All but three were played, the three being forfeits due to a lack of sufficient players. There were two games decided by one run difference and the rest were more one sided. The largest score of the program was in a game won by the Phi Psi over Phi Kappa Sigma 44 to 7 in 5 innings.

Big Time Tennis Not for Savitt
Houston, Texas — (U,P) — Former Wimbledon tennis champion Dick Savitt said today his surprising victory in the coveted River Oaks tournament would not prompt him to return to big-time tennis.
THE LAWRENCE NATIONAL BANK
Savitt, who is only 27 years old, provided an amazing climax to an upset-studded tournament yesterday when he rallied to defeat fifth-seeded Ham Richardson of Baton Rouge, La., in the final round, 4-6, 3-6, 6-4, 7-5. It was the first time in the tourney's 20-year history that an unseeded player won the crown. Savitt, now an "apprentice oilman," said he plans no further tournaments this year although he showed most of his old power in dominating his match against 20-year-old Richardson, who holds the

White Sox Move Into First WithTwo WinsOver Orioles
Manager Paul Richards of the White Sox said that one of the "musts" for a successful season this year would be a comeback by first baseman Ferris Fain and at the moment it is no coincidence that the curly-haired Californian is red hot and Chicago is in first place.
By UNITED PRESS
Last season Pain was in Rich-ards' dog-house so much that the wisecrackers said he even barked for his breakfast, but he isn't in the kennel club any more.
Sunday, as the White Sox scored 3-2 and 4-3 victories over Baltimore to take over undisputed possession of first place in the American league. Fain hit a bases-loaded single in the bottom of the ninth to bring home the winning run in the second game. It was his third hit, boosting his runs batted in to 12, tushes for the league. His hits also put his batting average at .333. In the opener Virgil Trucks pitched seven-hit ball for his second victory as Sherman Lollar hit a homer for the margin of victory. Al Carrasquel hit a second game Chicago homer.
Jim McDonald gained a six-hit triumph for the Yankees over left Alex Kellner in the opener at Philadelphia which featured hurriers who had tossed one-hitters in their last starts. McDonald was backed up with homers by Jerry Coleman, Phil Rizutto, and Bill Skowron. In the second game, lefty Morris Martin held the Yankees to five hits in eight innings. The Athletics rallied in the curfew-shortened game when a walk, singles by Gus Zernial and Don Bollweg, and Bill Renna's sacrifice fly produced two runs.
The Yankees topped the Athletics 6-1, then lost 4-2, while Cleveland beat Detroit 10-9 in 10 innings and Washington defeated Boston. 5-1.
In the National league, the Giants made it three shutouts in a row over the Phils by blanking them 3-0 and 5-0 as Sal Maglie gave up five hits and Johnny Antonelli delo out three. Pittsburgh topped Brooklyn 9-3, then lost 4-2, while Chicago pounded out a 9-2 conquest of Cincinnati, then suffered a 3-2 setback. St. Louis defeated Milwaukee 7-6 in 12 innings.
Dave Phillie hit a two-run homer in the 10th in Cleveland's victory after Wally Westlake paced the Indians earlier with two homers accounting for four runs.
Lefty Chuck Stobbs scattered seven hits to gain his first victory for Washington, but had to walk on eggs (goose-eggs that is) until the Nats scored five runs in the eighth. Roy Sievers' two-run double was the big blow of the inning.
Maglie pitched his third straight triumph for the Giants in a battle with lefty Curt Simmons which went scoreless until Don Mueller singled home a run in the seventh of the opener. In the second game, two-run homers by Monte Irvin and Hank Thompson and a runscoring single by Whitey Lockman provided Antonelli all the margin he needed for his second triumph.
Pittsburgh batted around in two big innings, the first when they scored four runs and the seventh when they made five, in the opening triumph over Brooklyn in which Frank Thomas hit a three-run homeer and Curt Roberts drilled a three-run double. Vern Law struggled to a 12-hit victory. In the second game lefty Johnny Podres tossed a three-hitter and contributed a run-scoring triple. Gil Hodges singled in two Brooklyn runs.
At Cincinnati, Bubba Church of the Cubs pitched six-hit ball against his old mates while Randy Jackson pegged his major league batting average at .500 with a homer and two singles and rookie Ernie Banks had three singles and a triple. The Cubs made 14 hits good for 23 bases. In the second game, rookie Art Fowler pitched four-hit ball as lefty Howie Pollet forced home the winning run. Hank Sauer and Dee Fondy hit homers for the only Chicago runs. In the opener Ralph Kiner also homered for the Cubs while Ted Kluszewski and Wally Post homed for the Reds.
Jim Pendleton dropped Red Schoendiest's fly with the bases loaded in the 12th and two out to give St. Louis its victory. Ed Mathews hit a two-run homer in the ninth for Milwaukee to send the game into extra frames. Hank Aaron of the Braves and Stan Musial of the Cards also hit homers.
