KU to Open Home Baseball Season By DANA LEIBENGOOD Kansan Sports Editor After completing one of its most successful southern baseball swings in several years, winning three out of four games, the Kansas baseball team takes on Arkansas today and tomorrow and Kansas State on Wednesday and Thursday in four games on the KU diamond. Although Kansas beat Arkansas 7-4 and 9-5 last week, Coach Floyd Temple isn't at all optimistic about the team's chances in the return series, for he won't be able to use Bob Allison and Bob Conn in these two games. Allison and Conn will report for spring football practice and will be available for only the games played on Friday and Saturday. However, both will play in the opening conference games with Kansas State, and it is probable that they will play in the Oklahoma series on May 12-13 which falls on a Wednesday and Thursday. All of the other conference games are scheduled for Friday and Saturday. Not only will Allison and Conn be unavailable, but also pitchers Dick Wogan and Fuzzy Martin and catcher John Handley. Spring practice puts Coach Temple's pitching staff in a tight squeeze this week, for Martin and Wogan would have done some pitching in the game tomorrow. Lefthander Wayne Tiemeier, who pitched eight-hit ball to beat Tulsa 10-1, will face the Razorbacks today and Ben Dalton is the probable pitcher for the game tomorrow. Bob Shirley and John Brosse will pitch the Kansas State series, and Tiemeier will do the relief pitching if any is needed in those two games. Tiemeier pitched the final two innings in relief for Shirley in the 7-4 victory over the Porkers and relieved Brosse in the eighth inning of the second game at Fayetteville. "On the whole the boys surprised me in these first four games," Coach Temple said "The pitchers were an exceptionally pleasant surprise, for none of them had pitched more than six innings, but Shirley pitched 7 2-3 innings, Brose pitched 8 1-3 innings, and Tiemier pitched nine innings." "The biggest disappointment is in the team's offense, for without Allison and Conn, the team lacks scoring punch. Third baseman Forrest Hoglund is a good fielder but a weak hitter as is shortstop Harold Bergsten. If we play Heitholt at shortstop, we have plenty of hitting at that position but not much fielding." The Tulsa series which KU split, losing the first game 16-12 and winning the second game 10-1, saw some unusual baseball. KU scored 12 rams on only four hits, but had the benefit of 23 walks in a game which lasted three hours and 45 minutes. The KU pitchers in this game allowed 14 hits and gave 13 walks. Either Dave Carpenter or Charlie Bogan will probably start for Arkansas today. Bogan and Bob Mitchell pitched Friday when Missouri beat them 18-0. Carpetter pitched the second game of the series at Fayetteville and was tagged for nine runs on nine hits in three innings. Bogan came in in relief and allowed only three hits in the last six innings. In the second game of the series KU pulled a triple play. It occurred in the fourth inning when Tulsa had scored one run and had runners on first and second. The play started when the Tulsa right fielder, Milt Lairmore, hit a line drive that Hoglund speared. He fired to Bill Pulliam at second to double Ray Wrona, and Pullium threw to first to John Trombold tripling Bob Latch off of first. Coach Temple plans to start Pulliam at second base, Heitholt in center field. Perry in left field, Trombold at first base, Aungst will catch, Hoglund at third base, Bill Blair in right field, and Bergsten at shortstop, until he has the use of the football players again. Bat.

Brooklyn, which won the National league's spring title with a record of 23 exhibition victories and 11 defeats from a .676 percentage, concluded the training grind with a 5-2 victory over the Yankees yesterday. Jackie Robinson batted in three runs and Gilhodges the other two as the Yankees finished their poorest spring in years with a record of 15 victories (including seven against the Giants and nine minor league clubs), 19 defeats last place in the American league's citrus standings. The Red Sox, who won the league crown with 18 victories and 12 defeats for -a .600 percentage, wound up their spring affairs with a 5-2 triumph over Milwaukee. Despite a 1-0 decision over their city rivals, the Athletics, Steve O'Neill's Phillies showed undisputed possession of last place in the National league with a 12-20 spring record and a .375 mark. The Cubs rallied for eight runs in the fourth inning to defeat the White Sox, 12-9. Beginning today and extending through the end of this semester The University Shop will offer a weekly SPECIAL.

Manager Paul Richards of the Chicago White Sox is shooting for the American league pennant this year and he hopes to do it by following the system Casey Stengel used when he led the Yankees to the first of their five successive American league championships in 1949. NOTE It is NOT necessary to buy more than one item. Chisox Hope to Win Flag Will Use Stengel's System Page 4 University Daily Kansan Monday. April 12, 1954 1420 Crescent Road Across from Lindley Whether it will be successful is problematical because so much depends on whether some rookies come through along with a veteran of the baseball wars, Cass Michaels: Even if they do, it appears likely the White Sox could find themselves in trouble when it comes to power hitting and pitching. They have speed, a fine defensive club and on their 1953 record, the best left-rightly pitching pair in the league in Billy Pierce and Virgil Trucks. By UNITED PRESS Pierce won 18 while losing 12 last season and Trucks, who started the year with the Browns, wound up with a 20-10 record, by far his best year in the majors. Baseball men doubt that they will wind up winning 38 games between them again this coming season. Sandy Consuegra (7-5) and Mike Fornieles (8-7) also will be spotted as starters, with Harry Dorish (10-6) and Luis Aloma (2-0) the bullpen specialists. Al Sima, who won two But even if they do, the supporting hurling cast is not an impressive one. Bob Keegan, 11-7 in 1953, will be the No. 3 starter, while two rookies are in the running to round out the big four—Jack Harshman, the former first baseman who won 23 at Nashville last year, and 19-year-old Tom Flanagan, a southpaw who was the most impressive pitcher on the team in spring exhibition games. Ferris Fain, if he can regain his batting eye, will play first with rookie Bob Boyd to understudy him. But Richards is hoping that Fain can play every day so he can use Boyd as part of his two-platoon system. That would put the long-ball hitters in the outfield when right-handers go against the White Sox. At third, Michaels will start when left-handers are going against the Sox, with Winnie Minoso, who led the White Sox in almost every offensive department in 1953, taking over the bag when right-handers face the club. Otherwise it will be Minoso in the outfield. He will play against all kinds of pitching. Only two infield positions are set—Nellie Fox at second base and Chico Carrasquel at short. Fox has had trouble with the double play at second but is such a scraper that Richards likes him. But the Sox manager is not too pleased this spring with Carrasquel's efforts. He doesn't think his Latin-American fielding star is hustling like he used to. while losing three with the Senators last season and Don Johnson, who is up for another try after winning 15 at Toronto, are other possibilities. When southpaws pitch against the Sox, Richards hopes to use Johnny Groth in center, Bill Wilson, who hit .311 for Memphis last season, in right and Minoso in left. When right-handers go against them, it will be Willard Marshall in left, Jim Rivera in center and Ed Stewart in left.
