Games Today and Saturday Kansas State at Kansas Nebraska at Oklahoma Iowa State at Missouri
Prominent title contending clubs this year are Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and maybe Colorado.
The Jayhawkers have a fine three man hurling staff in a pair of veteran righthanders, Jack Stonestreet and Carl Snedefur, and a soohomore
Hub Ulrich's KU club is probably as good defensively—if not the best—in the league. The catching is adequate and the overall strength at the plate is capable of giving the pitches enough runs to win almost any game.
Missouri will bank heavily upon two excellent righthanded hurriers, Dick Atkinson and Don Boenker, to remain in the pennant race.

Red Sox Bump Yankees As Rookies Set Pace
Hi Simmons' club has last year's leading conference hitter, Junior Wren with a .408 average, returning along with other heavy stickers such as catcher Herb Gellman, Kent Kurtz, second baseman hitting, 41 to date; Ross Boeger, third base, and Jack Patchett in left field.
New York—(U.P.)-The Boston Red Sox, almost unnoticed so far in the furor over the surprising showing of the St. Louis Browns, were blazing along today at their fastest early pace since 1946, the last year they won a pennant.
It could be that the Red Sox, and not the Browns, will turn out to be the "surprise" outfit of the year.
Yesterday, winning their ninth game against only two losses so far, the Red Sox came from behind to top the Yankees, 3 to 2, in 11 innings.
Once again rookies set the pace, Sammy White, the kid catcher, hit his first big league home in the fifth after New York took an early 2-0 lead against Maury McDermott. Then in the 11th, he singled off reliever Bob Kuzava to touch off the winning rally. Dom DiMaggio singled and rookie Jim Piersall walked to load the bases and Good-
prince then walked to force in the passing tally. Rookie Ivan DeLock, pitching the top of the 11th, got in touch then showed enough mattle to gain his first big league decision by nailing the dangerous Hank Bauer on a short fly and striking out Mickey Mantle, both with bases loaded.
In the only other game played yesterday, the Braves wiped out a 3-0 deficit with a three-run rally in the eighth, then went on to beat the Giants, 6 to 3, in the 10th as rookie reliever Lew Burdette pitched five scoreless innings.
League Standings
A two-run double by rookie Ed Mathews was the big blow in the final fly producing the third tally. With two out in the eighth, Earl Torgesson tagged Max Lanier for a home run, then the Braves got two more on a single by Sid Gordon, a walk to Willard Marshall, a wild pitch, and a two-run single by Walker Cooper.
