Yankees Faced With Di Maggio Case Tomorrow
New York, May 17—(U.P.)—Finally faced with the deadline in their Joe DiMaggio dilemma, harried New York Yankee officials today promised a decision "within the next 24 hours."
Actually, the Yankees have no other choice since all major league clubs must be down to the 25-player limit by midnight tomorrow and the New York club now numbers 29.
"We will have an announcement regarding DiMaggio's status either today or tomorrow," assured Yankee general manager George Weiss. "There's nothing to worry about: we'll have the squad cut by the deadline."
Maybe Weiss wasn't worried but DiMaggio and Yankee manager Casey Stengel were.
"I don't have the slightest idea of what will happen," said DiMaggio, who still is undergoing treatment for a heel injury that has kept him idle thus far this season.
"It's enough to drive a man crazy," echoed Stengel.
"I don't know what we're going to do with Diiaggio. . keep him on the roster. . put him on the disabled list . . or what."
Yankee players whose status have been placed in doubt by the Thursday midnight deadline are veteran outfielder Charley Keller, suffering from a pulled muscle in his side; pitcher Frank (Spec) Shea, suffering a balky shoulder, and rookie outfielder Hank Bauer, suffering an anemic batting average. Pitcher Clarence Marshall and veteran infielder Nick Witek also are candidates for the chopping block.
Leo Durocher of the New York Giants cut his squad to the prescribed 25-player limit by optioning infielder Jack (Lucky) Lohrke and pitcher Andy Tomascio to Jersey City of the International league.
The Brooklyn Dodgers, still two players over the limit, traded infielder Bob Ramazzotti to the Chicago Cubs for infielder Hank Schenz and a reported $50,000 in cash. Ramazzotti batted .153 in five games for the Dodgers this season while Schenz hit .429 in six games.
Outfielder Ken Wood was optioned to Baltimore of the International league subject to 24-hour recall by the parent St. Louis Browns, who thereby got down to the 25-player limit.
Phi Chi, ISA Win IM Tilts
A
Phi Chi, Y.M.C.A., I.S.A. and A.I.E.E. were winners in intramural softball games played Monday afternoon.
Paced by Ken Sperry, who slammed two homeruns and a triple, LSA. romped over Alpha Phi Alpha 12 to 4. Going into the fourth inning the winner held a narrow 5 to 4 lead but after that it wasn't even close. Alpha Phi Alpha went scoreless in the last four innings while ISA. clinched the game with seven additional scores.
Behind Albert Koegel's standout pitching ALEE, whipped Wesley 15 to 2. Koegel held the Methodists scoreless in all but the first and seventh innings. His mates, however, failed to score only in the second.
With Royal Barker tossing four-hit ball Phi Chi trounced the Unmentionables 13 to 3. Ray Christy, who got three hits, including a bases-empty homer in the sixth, led the Phi Chi batting attack.
Although trailing 3 to 0 in the third inning Y.M.C.A. broke loose in later innings to down S.A.M. 9 to 4. Sparking the winning attack was Delmar Vonda who clouted two round trippers.
K Club Will Elect Tonight
The K club will elect officers at 7:30 p.m. today in Robinson gymnasium. All members are urged to attend.
Razorbacks Stop Kansas With Impressive 12-4 Victory
Arkansas blasted K.U. pitchers Carl Ebel and Ralph Freed for nine hits, two of them homers, to defeat the Jayhawkers 12 to 4 Monday at Fayetteville in the first of a two-game series.
Kansas pushed over a runoff Razorback starter Bill Morlan in the top of the fourth for K.U.'s only lead of the game. Marvin Stendel, right
fielder and team's number two hitter, slammed a three-run-homer off Ebel in the last half of the fourth to give Arkansas a 3 to 1 lead.
The score remained the same until the last of the seventh when the Southwest conference club exploded for eight runs. Ralph Freed replaced Ebel during the inning and finished the game. Shortstop Harold "Doc" Adams clouded a slam home run to account for half of the runs.
Coach Bill Hogan's club finally got to Morlan in the first of the eighth, knocking him off with a three-run rally. Tom Porter, the Razorbacks' best pitcher, replaced Marlon and finished the game.
The teams will play again today. Harold "Lefty" Cox, Arkansas's number two pitcher, will start. Left-hander Loren Hepler is the KU starter. Dick Gilman and left-hander Jake Moynihan both saved for the Colorado and Kansas State series, which will decide the fate of KU's title hopes.
Colorado will be here for a two-game series Friday and Saturday. The K-State series is at Manhattan May 23 and 24, making four games in five days. The K.U. squad will start back as soon as possible after the game today and return early tomorrow morning. The score by innings:
R. H. E.
Kansas 000 100 030-4 5 2
Arkansas 000 300 81x-12 9 5
Batteries: Ebel, Freed, and Goodson; Morlan, Porter, and Brown.

This will be the last match for The Jayhawkers before the Big Seven conference meet at Lincoln.
