Missouri Scores Five Runs in Tenth Whips Hawks 8-3 in Series Opener
By STAN HAMILTON Kansan Sports Writer
After letting Kansas tie up yesterday's baseball game in the ninth inning, Missouri came roaring back for five runs in the tenth to down the Jayhawkers, 8-3. The teams will tangle here again today at 3 p.m.
KU pitcher Wayne Tiemier, who replaced starter John Brose during an MU threat in the ninth, issued a walk to leadoff man Jim Shepherd to open the tent. He was sacrificed to second and scored on pitcher Eert Beckmann's right-field double. A run-scoring single by the next hitter brought in John Wynkoop to pitch for KU.
Wynkoop fanned the first man, but then two singles, a two-base throwing error, a walk, and another single brought in the final three runs before he retired the eleventh batter of the inning on a ground out.
With the exception of first baseman John Trombold's long home run in the seventh, the Jayhawks were held scoreless until the ninth by clever John Willingham. He held KU to four scattered hits until the two-run uprising.
Catcher Galen Fiss started the ninth inning Jayhawk rally with a solid double down the left-field line, and reached third on the next play when Willingham elected to throw to that base on Trombold's grounder to the mound. Their pinch-hitter Rex Smith cracked a long double to score the tying runs. Beckmann replaced Willingham at this point and squelched the Jayhawkers from there on.
A Tiger tally in the fifth was unearned as were two in the eighth. A bad throw by third sacker Frank Wolf let in the initial run, and he did with Harold Patterson and Wolf did the damage in the eighth frame.
KU starter John Brose turned in one of his finest performances of the season, holding the Bengals to only seven hits in 8 1/3 innings.
A trio of base running laps occurred in the early innings. Brosse calmly tossed to Trombold to pick off Buddy Cox, a Tiger football player, in the second inning, and Willingham picked Wolf off second in the bottom of the second. A quick throw from Fiss to second baseman Bill Pulliam nabbed MU's Ray Uriarte at second in the 68th
The victory gave league-leading MU a 7-2 record in conference play, and KU a 2-5 mark. Today Don Boenker, all-American for the Tigers last year, will hurl against the Kansans. KU Coach Hub Ulrich has nominated Jack Stonestreet.
Wolf redeemed himself in the sixth, however, when he chased Bob Schoonmaker back and forth between home and third after he had tripped and rounded third too far. Schoonmaker fell twice, Wolf finally tagging him on his second dive.

HITTERS DREAD HIM-Jayhawker hitters should be in for a rough afternoon today since they must face Don Boenker, Missouri's top pitcher who was named to the NCAA all-American squad in 1952. Boenker, a 21-year-old senior from St. Louis, had a 9-2 record last year and has shined again this spring.
Marciano Certain of Victory In Title Bout With Walcott
Holland, Mich.,—(U.P.)—Rocky Marciano was supremely confident of victory today as he finished the longest training grind in heavy-weight championship history.
The Brockton blockbuster, who has been training since January, felt certain he could beat Jersey Joe Walcott again at the Chicago Stadium Friday night for three major reasons.
"I believe I'm stronger physically than I was when I knocked him out in September," he said. "I worked hard at making my punches more effective without telegraphing my blows. And I'm convinced Walcott can't hit hard enough to knock me out."
There was no hint of bragging in the champion's voice or attitude as he analyzed his chances against the 39-year-old challenger. The always-mosted mauler discussed the fight as matter-of-factly as if it were some business venture he was considering.
In the '49 fight, Rocky knocked out Vingo in the sixth round and sent him to the hospital with a painful concussion that nearly proved fatal.
One of the reporters in Rocky's dressing room reminded him that Jersey Joe had hit him hard enough last September 23 to floor him with a link in the first round.
"That's right," the champ admitted with a grin, "but the punch wasn't nearly as hard as one that Carmine Vingo landed on my chin in the fifth round back in 1949. I was still groggy when I went to my corner after that one, he didn't back it one. I shook off the effects as soon as I hit the canvas. I was more surprised than hurt. I'd never been down before."
Ten teams, including defending champion Delta Tau Delta and runner-up Beta Theta Pi, have entered the intramural golf tournament to be held Saturday at the Country club.

ever faced, the champ explained, although Joe Louis had hurt him with a left jab and a left hook in 1951, before Louis was kayoed in the eighth.
The meet, which will begin at 7:45 a.m., will be decided on medal scores. The four low scores of each team will have their 18-hole totals added together to determine the team titlist.
Preparing for this bout, Rocky has sparred the amazing total of 223 rounds, and today's last workout called for three more. He boxed only "about 100" before the September fight. He has done 461 miles of road work. He will break camp tomorrow morning.
--for the winning run. There were no other games except some exhibitions.
Boulder, Colo. — (U.P.)—Oklahoma scored four runs in the sixth inning here yesterday to break a 3-3 tie before rolling over Colorado, 10-3, for a Big Seven baseball victory.
Sooners Whip CU With 4- Run Rally
Oklahoma catcher Buster Cloud belted a two-run homer to lead the explosive ninth inning. The Sooners got their runs on a walk, infield single, passed ball, a single, and caught home run by another CU starter John Quinlan. Tom Brookshier relieved Quinlan in the seventh.
Oklahoma's Bob Sheets tagged a two-run homer in the first, but Colorado's Dick Corbetta tied it with a two-run homer in the third.
Larry Foley, a left hander, went all the way for the winners, scattering eight hits.
Both teams scored one in the fourth inning, but then it was all over. Sooners a 5-2 conference record. Colorado has won one and lost two.
Righthander Ron Garramone will pitch for Colorado when the teams renew their series here today. Oklahoma did not announce a starting pitcher.
Pierce Pitches Seven-Hitter As Chicago Nips Cleveland
He's got more troubles than he likes to think about at the moment as the Indians begin their first eastern road trip with a two-game series against the first place Yankees tonight.
New York—(U.P.)-Al Lopez came to town today "moanin' the blues" as if he was opening an engagement as a night club singer instead of managing the Cleveland Indians.
Both Al Rosen and Ray Boone, who have been the club's chief long-ball hitters to date, are ailing and could miss tonight's game. And trying to play with a long-ball hitter in Yankee Stadium is like playing mumble-peg without a knife.
Boone has a badly inflamed knee and is afraid it is a recurrence of trouble he had last year when he twisted it and was out of action in the stretch run. Rosen has a stiff neck and a bad cold and feels miserable.
Both Boone and Rosen missed last night's game in which the Chicago White Sox gained a seven-hit, 2 to 1 victory behind lefty Billy Pierce. Pierce thus became the first American League pitcher to win five games this year. He has lost one.
The defeat by Chicago not only knocked Cleveland out of first place but confirmed suspicions by some of the Yankees, including manager Casey Stengel, that the White Sox and not the Indians may be their most persistent challengers in their bid for a 61ff straight flag.

The evidence in favor of the White Sox is strong, too, in view of events to date. The White Sox beat the Yankees twice in the only two games they have played, and they now have two victories out of three over Cleveland.
The White Sox beat Bob Lemon to avenge an opening day defeat in which he held them to one hit. It was his third defeat against three victories. Pierce missed a shutout when Bobby Avila hit a seventh-inning homer to tie the count at 1-1. Al Carrasqueal drove in Minnie Minoso with a double in the eighth
Hearings Set For Today
Washington — (U.P.) Nathan R. Kobey, a former minor league baseball executive, was scheduled to testify today before the Senate Commerce subcommittee which is hearing baseball's request for limited telecasting and broadcasting of games.
It was believed that his testimony would be in support of baseball's contention that unrestricted radio and TV of major league games is killing attendance at minor league games. Kobey was understood to be in favor of the old baseball rule, since repealed, which banned TV or radio of one team's games in the "home territory" of another team.
The rule was repealed after conferences with the Department of Justice. It was indicated that the rule might be in violation of antitrust laws.
Baseball officials have asked Congress for the power to restore that rule.
The committee yesterday heard testimony from former baseball commissioner A. B. Chandler, and from Texas broadcaster Gordon McLendon.
Charles Faces Crucial Bout
Toledo —(U.P.)— Former heavyweight champion Ezzard Charles regarded tonight's fight with young Billy Graham here as his last stepping stone toward another crack at the title.
