Yanks Thump Indians. Red Sox Whip Chicago
University Daily Kansan
New York—(U.R.)—No wonder Hank Greenberg hates the Yankees.
Look what they keep doing to his Cleveland Indians, especially with the pressure on.
Last night in the first so-called big game of the season, Casey Stengel's New Yorkers pounded out an eight-run rally in the fourth for an 11-1 victory.
Cleveland offered its best, ace Bob Lemon, but Stengel rode along with his little ex-GI left hander, Whitey Ford.
Ford pitching with the class of a seasoned veteran and the cold nerve of a sock-footed burglar, held the Indians to eight hits, struck out five, and contributed two clean singles.
The Yankees put together seven singles, a walk, and a hit batsman for their eight runs. Gil McDouglad came up twice and singled each time, driving in three runs.
Lefty Mel Parmel of the surprising Red Sox won his fourth straight game, 5-1 at Chicago, and Virgil Trucks pitched the Browns to a 2-1 triumph over the Athletics at St. Louis. Washington topped the Tigers, 14-4 at Detroit as winning pitcher Bob Porterfield hit a grand slam home run.
All National League games were trained out.
The Red Sox, who weren't supposed to be much but a bunch of green kids, made it six victories in seven games on their western trip with Parnell's fine six-hitter. Ted Lepico, playing at third in place of the injured George Kell, hit a home run and Jimmy Piersall collected three hits to give him a total of seven in his last 10 times at bat.
Trucks gave up eight hits in winning his third game for the Brownys and gained his margin of victory over rugged Harry Byrd when Vic Wertz hit a two-run homer in the sixth after a single by Hank Edwards. A walk to Eddie Joost and Dave Philley's double gave Philadelphia its only run in the third. Trucks encountered trouble in the ninth when the first two batters singled, but he got Ray Murray on a pop-up then pinch-hitter Tom Hamilton hit into a double play.
Washington—(U.F.)—Revenge and a shot at the "interim" featherweight title are the targets for surprising Davey Gallardo tonight when he tangles with hard-hitting Charley Riley of St. Louis in a nationally televised 10-round bout.
Gallardo, 23-year-old Mexican from Los Angeles, is the lad who astounded the experts in his last fight by scoring an upset decision over Percy Bassett, the interim champ, from Philadelphia.

That triumph skyrocketed Gallardo into the No. 1 ranking as featherweight contender, and also ran his current string of victories to 12. But he will be trying for that hoodoo No. 13 against a rough puncher who knocked him out in seven rounds when they met in 1951.
16 hits in their slug-fest but the Senators had more thunder in their blows. In addition to *Porterfield*'s homer, Jackie Jensen hit a double and triple, and Les Peden and Mickey Vernon also hit doubles. The Nats put together two six-run innings.
Gallardo will have to be wary of that dynamite in Riley's fists this time, too, because Riley has proved his puching prowess against top-ranked battlers.
ranked batter out Bassett in two rounds in St. Louis last June, but the interim champion gained revenge with a unanimous decision in a return match.
Among his other kayo victims have been Corky Gonzales, Maxie Shapiro, Johnny Forte, Phil Terranova, and his most recent opponent, Arthur Portley.

Undefeated Kansas Golfers Seek Victory No.8 Saturday
“Of course we don't know the first thing about Oklahoma, last year's champion; Nebraska, second place winners in '52, or Colorado,” Winey said, “but I would say we have good grounds to base our title hopes on.”

touch with the wedge.
Winey, a graduate student in the law school and a former KU letterman, has been golf coach here for several years. He guided the Jayhawks to third place in the conference meet last year, and with only Lacy and Rush being comparatively inexperienced men, Kansas could win it this year.
The Jayhawker golf team will travel to Manhattan Saturday seeking to extend its undefeated winning streak to eight straight and will meet Missouri the next weekend before going to the league meet May 22-23 in Ames, Iowa.
A college junior and one-year letterman from Mission, Hise came to Mt. Oread with much golfing experience behind him. He earned three letters at Shawnee-Mission High school and led the Indians to second place in the state meet two years in a row. Through the years, Hise has developed a phenomenal
Victims of Coach Bill Winey's linksmen this year have been Nebraska and Washburn, twice each, Missouri, Kansas State, and Emporia State. K-State gave the Jayhawkers a real scare in the match here, losing by only one point.
Harlan Hise, 5-9, 155-pound No. 1 man, has provided the main Kansas punch so far. His booming drives and precise putting make him one of the top favorites to capture medalist honors in the Big Seven meet this spring.
