Chemists Slaughter Phi Delt To Rule Intramural Softball
Alpha Chi Sigma Gains 19-1 Victory As Dale Clark Hurls Six No-Hit Innings
Dale Clark hurled no-hit ball until the seventh as the Alpha Chi Sigma's squashed the Phi Delt's 19 to 1 to win the intramural championship Monday. The independent champions scored in every inning except the second and the fifth as they pounded out 21 safeties.
Clark faced only 28 men in the se the fraternity representatives from their pedestal. It ended the season for the winners with a perfect record after having been undefeated in five division tilts and sweeping through rough contests for the independent title.
It is the third title which the AXE's have amuessed in softball play. They are the 1947 defending summer champs as well as the new independent and intramural titlists.
The Chi Sig's displayed perfect fielding until the last of the seventh when they made two bobbles while the Phi Delt's were being credited with 14 miscues. The Phi Delt's found difficulty in trying to push fouls and fair balls past Oliver Edwards, A.X.E. third sacker, who is considered one of the best infielders in intramural softball competition. The Phi Delt's also showed some expert fielding until the fourth when the whole team seemed to go to pieces.
Every man on the chemists' battling nine slugged out at least one safety as Edwards walked off with the individual honors with a homer, triple and three singles. Andy Beruzzi came through with his share of the burden as he rapped out two doubles and a single in five trips. Ed Marquis, Dale Oliver, and Lou Goehring who slapped out a two-bagger, were the only Phi Delt's who were able to garner safeties off the perfect control of Clark.
Al Lindenstruth started the ball game with a single, and Oliver Edwards quickly followed suit with his homer that sailed far over the right fielder's head. It was then three straight outs for the AXE's but they had already shown their potential power.
In the fall of 1946 he was transferred to the Navy unit at KU. When Dick was released from the Navy he decided to stay on Mt. Oread.
Dick almost enrolled at Missouri when the Navy sent him to Washburn university in V-12. During that time he participated in track and played left halfback on the football team.

Shea surprised everyone when he finished second to Lancaster in the half mile at the Big Seven indoor
The Phi Delt's were stopped completely until the bottom of the last stanza when Marquis laid out the first Delt hit of the ball game. Marquis scored on the hits of Oliver and Goehring to ruin Clarks shut out.
Dick Shea Finds
In the fourth the Phi Delt's began playing erratic ball as the winners combined three hits and five Delt errors to tally four runs. In the upper half of the sixth, the chems went wild to chalk up seven more tallies on a barrage of six safeties and six errors. In the seventh they slammed out five more singles for five runs. The box score:
Championship Road Is Rough
It's a long, hard road to a first place championship in any of the four individual events in the Big Seven outdoor meet. Dick Shea, Kansas' outstanding 880-yard runner, found it so when he latched on to the 880 yard crown last week-end at Lincoln.
The dark-haired runner began his track career back in high school when he was at吴 Cotton High school in Sedalia, Mo. There Dick ran the dashes and the high and low hurdles. He placed in the 100-yard dash and the high hurdles in the state meet his senior year.

In back stretch with about 220 yards to go Shea passed Studt, and sprinted the remaining distance. Missouri's Lancaster made a determined effort to catch the Kansas half-miler, but Shea never let up and finished five yards ahead of the field. His time was 155.5.

Dick placed second in the preliminaries Friday, and such competition as Charlie Lancaster of Missouri and Andy Cary of Oklahoma looked meet last February at Kansas City tough.
The starters gun cracked loudly in Nebraska's big stadium and Winten Studt, the other Kansas finalist jumped into the lead after the first curve. Studt, who usually runs the 440, ran the first lap of the 880 in about 54 seconds. This was just what Shea needed.
meet last February at Kansas City. It was then that Dick decided to shoot for the outdoor title at Lincoln. Months of hard work followed, and when Tom Botts brought his Tigers to Lawrence for a dual meet Shea whipped Lancaster by a wide margin.
Shea's teammates and roommates, Winton Studd, Dick Wagstaff, and Bill Binter decided that the name "Shea" wasn't Irish enough, so they started calling him "Shawney O'Shea." During the 880-yard run Saturday you could hear his mates shouting, "come on Shawney," and he did.
Dick has one year of eligibility remaining, but he will graduate from engineering school this spring and will not return next year.

Sports Promoter
Sues Bobby Feller
Davenport, In., May 25-(UP)—Bob Feller, defendant in a $42,500 breach of contract suit, could not be guilty because of an Iowa statute. his attorneys said today.
Feller, Cleveland Indians star hurler, is being sued by Ray Doan, Davenport sports promoter. Charged that letters from Feller in 1945 constituted a contract for him to handle a post-season exhibition tour the following year.
Feller's counsel told federal judge Charles A. Dewey that his defense was based on an Iowa statute which bans action on informal contracts of more than one year.

Hal Wins For Tigers
New York, May 25—(UP)--Don't tell the American league hitters that Hal Newhouse's fast ball is gone—they just won't believe it.
The report about Hal's fast one went around the league this spring and for a time it looked as if there was some truth in it. Newhouser, after winning his first start, dropped four straight games for the Tigers and was batted out of the box in two others.
But today the lean lefty is runner-up in the league strike out competition with 33 whiffs, three behind his teammate, Vihgil Trucks. And his control is excellent. In 54 innings pitched he has walked only 21 batters.
Yesterday, winning his second straight game, he struck out six batters and walked two as the Tigers topped Washington, 5 to 2, at Detroit. He started out slowly, yielding three of seven hits the Nats got in the first innning. Al Kozar's single, Coan's triple, and Mackey's singletime hit Washington both of its runs. Washington got only three singles, all by Tommy McBride, and a double by Kozar, the rest of the way.
At last, just about when even their most faithful followers had given up hope, the Dodgers ended an eight-game losing streak with a well-earned 9 to 4 triumph over the Reds at Brooklyn. The victory pulled the Dodgers out of eight place and ended the longest home losing streak in the managerial regime of Leo Durocher.
The Phillies ended their losing streak at four games with a 6 to 2 victory over the Cardinals at Philadelphia at night. That cut the Card National lead to two and a half games over the Giants as they moved into the Polo Grounds tonight.
Walt Dubiel pitched the Phils to victory. He had a perfect game until the seventh when Al Schoendienst singled and then came home on Stan Musial's seventh homer of the season.

Turnesa, Hogan Vie For Top PGA Prize
St. Louis, May 25—(UP)—Mike Turnera and Ben Hogan slammed their way into the finals of the 30th annual P.G.A. tourney at Norwood Hills Monday. Turnera took a one-up, 37-hole semi-final victory from Claud Harmon while Hagon downed Jimmy Demaret, 2 and 1.
Mike, the third of seven golfing Turnesas, will thus make his bid today for the crown denied two other members of this family, Joe and Jim. But, Mike's chances against Hogan looked little better than those of his brothers.
His brother, Jee, wasn't in the same league with the great Walter Hagen in 1826, and the "Haig" set back Turnesa for his fifth and last P.G.A. title, Jim went down before Sam Snead in the finals of the 1943 tourney for slammin' Sam's only P.G.A. crown.
Mike has been 17 under par for his 141 holes of match play, and Hogan 20 under for 142. But Hogan has been more erratic, and whether he would be able to play his best game against Mike's determined, tight-lipped assault was questionable.
Today's winner will earn the $3,500 first prize, while the loser gets $1,500.
