KU Nips Arkansas 5-2 In Home Baseball Game
By STAN HAMILTON
The Kansas baseball team, here yesterday afternoon, used strong pitching by southpaw Wayne Tiemeier, a 2-run home run by John Trombold, and three Arkansas errors to edge the Razorbacks 5 to 2 in a tight game.
Tiemeier, who extended his score-®
The teams will meet here again at 3 p.m. today.
Tiemeiere, who extended his score-
less inning string to 12 before weak-
ening in the eighth, kept the visitors
well under control through the first seven innings, although he allowed 10 hits in all. Kansas got but six. Tiemeiere fanned six and walked two.
Jayhawk third sacker Punky Hoglund broke out of his hitting slump with a line single to left to start off the seventh. He had gone 17 times without a hit. When Francis Long let the ball roll through his legs Hoglund advanced to third. He scored when the next batter, shortstop Harold Bergsten, grounded out, second to first.
Kansas added single insurance runs in the seventh and eighth innings, both made easier by Arkansas errors.
Trombold, Jayhawk first baseman, provided what proved to be the winning run in the sixth inning when he slammed a long home run over the right-center fence with the singling Bill Heitholt on base. Kansas already had gotten one run in the third when Heitholt got on via an error and scored on a long triple by Johnerry.
In the eighth the Porkers finally solved Tiemier for a pair of runs. Leadoff hitter Walt Matthews clubbed a homer on the hill behind right field and then Joe Wilson, after the middle man had struck out, gained second on an error by Hoglund. Tiemier fanned the next man but then Tom Cusak, his mound opponent, hit a hard double to right center to score Wilson.
When the next batter walked, Bob Shirley came on for KU to put out the fire by getting Long to ground firmlylessly to Hoglund.
The Jayhawks came back to get the final run in the bottom of the same inning. Tromboid drew a pass, stole second, and scored on an overthrow at second and a bobble by the centerfielder.
KU now stands at 4-1 for the young season; Arkansas has won two of seven. It was the third KU victory over the visitors.

Young Rookies Hope to Become Major Leaguers
New York —(U.F.)— This is a day many young men will never forget—the day they became big leaguers.
They hail from all over, big cities and little towns from California to Massachusetts, Washington to Louisiana and from the Midwest and the Southwest. And each is fairly certain to stick in one of the greatest rookie invasions baseball has ever seen.
For five of them it goes beyond baseball. Cardinal pitcher Memo Luna is from Tcaubaya, Mexico. Brooklyn outfielder Sandy Amoros comes out of Matanzas, Cuba. Three are Puerto Ricans, A's outfielder Vic Power from Arecibo, Cleveland pitcher Jose Santiago from Coamo and Cincinnati outfielder Nino o Escalera-from Sanurce.
Three National league clubs are going all out with new talent, the Cards, Cubs and Pirates each starting a trio of rookies. The Cards will have Tom Alston of Greensboro, N.C., at first, Alex Grammas of Birmingham, Ala., at short and Wally Moon, from Trumann, Ark. in the outfield.
The Cubs have Ernie Banks out of Dallas, at short, Gene Baker from Los Angeles at second and Bob Talbot of Vesialia, Calif., in the outfield. Pittsburgh starts Curt Bolt of Ocho at second; Gail Aile of New Orleans at short and Jerry Lunch of Munger, Mich., in the outfield.
Two new faces in the Reds lineup are outfielder Wally Post of St. Henry, Ohio, and third baseman Chuck Harmon of Gloversville, N.Y. Milwaukee believes it has a new star for its outfield in Henry Aaron, up from Jacksonville, Fla.
The Indians will unveil a surprise infielder in Rudy Regalado, out of the University of Southern California, while the White Sox count on Bob Boyd, the small but fleet outfielder from Potts Camp, Miss.

Big League Baseball Season Opens Today With 8 Games
New York—(U.P.)-Wake up Americans, it's time to go out to the old ball game again.
Although once again Brooklyn and the Yankees are quoted as heavy favorites to win their pennants, livey races were in prospect for both leagues with returning servicemen and the best crop of rookies since before World War II on hand to improve the chances of some of the perennial also-rans.
Yes, today is the day.
Around 40,000 were expected to turn out at the Polo Grounds to see the Dodgers renew their feud with the Giants. Carl Erskine, who beat the Dodgers three times last year, opposes Sal Maglie, who beat the Dodgers three times. Both teams were at full strength and Carl Furillo was ready to swing at Giant Durocher or Durocher him if Giant pitchers threw him. When the teams last met in the Polo Grounds last Sept. 6, Furillo charged after Durocher and wound up with a broken finger in a dugout melee.
Forget about fuel bills, coffee prices, H-bombs, the McCarthy investigation, Zsa Zsa Gabor, and the Iron Curtain boys—just for this afternoon.
That's what Ike's going to do. He's taking the day off to throw out the first pitch down in the nation's capital where the Yankees play the Senators in the ceremonial Presidential opener. President Eisenhower makes things official at 2 p.m. CST after every other one of the seven opening games has been in progress at least for half an hour, since all are scheduled earlier.
For this bright new season when everybody has high hopes—at least for awhile--there was a promise of bright and shiny weather on all fronts.
There will be upwards of 220,000 fans on hand in person at the eight games with millions more watching or hearing the progress of their heroes via television and radio.
Cincinnati, where opening day always is an especially festive occasion, figured on a sellout crowd of 34,000 including Gov. Frank Lausche of Ohio and Mrs. Dorothy Dolbey,
vice mayor of Cincinnati who will create history of a sort when she becomes the first woman to toss out an opening day pitch.
