Kansas Eyes 3rd Place At Big 7 Track Meet
By DARELL NORRIS
The Big Seven track meet tomorrow at Lincoln will be a strange meet. As far as six members of the conference are concerned, it will be a meet without a first place. Almost every coach in the conference has conceded the winner's circle to Coach Tom Bott's powerful Missouri Tigers.
The other six teams will be battling for second place, with the Nebraska Cornhuskers given the inside track, Kansas, Colorado, and Kansas State are expected to battle for third with the Oklahoma Sooners and Iowa State bringing up the rear.
The meet also will be a battle among individual performers for a place on the Big Seven conference team to battle the Southwest conference all-stars in a meet at Dallas June 4. The first three place-winners in each event will qualify for the interconference meet.
The Tigers are so well-balanced that they appear weak in only one event, the javelin. In most of the other events the Columbians have top-flight men three deep. They are expected to duplicate last year's performance which netted a margin of nearly 70 points over the second place Huskers.
Kansas will rely on its strong individual talent to pile up points toward the third position and a possible shot at the runner-up slot.
Bob Karnes, the untiming distance runner from Overbrook, will try for two firsts Saturday in his specialties, the mile and two-mile runs. He will have such worthies to beat in the mile race as Missouri's Bob Bosworth and Bill Chronister.
Karnes shaded both Bosworth and Chronister the only time he has been pushed in the mile, except in his two losses to teammate Hal Moore who will not make the trip. Karnes has run away from all competition in the two mile, winning 11 straight races at this distance.
Seven runners hung up double wins indoors, and Karnes missed this feat by five inches as he was edged by Moore in the indoor mite in record time. Both runners were clocked in 4:18.6.
Hanging up the double distance victory hasn't been easy in the 19 years of the conference. The only performer who ever accomplished it outdoors was the incomparable Glenn Cunningham, who swept them both in 1933 and 1934 and added half-mile victories both times. No one has ever approached his triple crown.
Tom Scofield should be good for points in the high jump, and if he returns to last year's form, he may walk off with the blue ribbon. If Bob Crowley can shake a knee injury he should be good for points in the broad jump.
The intramural ball Saturday is expected to attract a larger crowd this year than it did in 1947,丹 Powell, intramural director, said today. Trophies, sweaters for freshman managers, and the award for the senior manager will be presented, he said.
Dick Shea will be in a position to grab a first position out of the Tigers' claws in the half-mile if he can repeat Saturday's victory over Missouri's Charles Lancaster. Lancaster won the 880 title indoors while Shea finished second.
The K.U. javelin trio will pick up several points, and could sweep the top spots if Jack Todd's elbow injury keeps the powerful Coloradian out of action. John Sites, Bill Binter, Dick Wagstaff, and Shea will be out after a high relay place, as well as points in individual dash events. Dash man Lee Schloessler will not make the trip because of medical school studies.

DiMaggio Blasts Chi Sox; Runs, Hits Flood Majors
New York, May 21—(UP)—Joe DiMaggio had his biggest day of the current season yesterday as he blasted out two home runs, a triple, and a single, driving in six runs in New York's 13 to 2 massacre of the Chicago White Sox. Vic Raschi of the Yanks went all the way to bring up his third victory of the season against one loss.
DiMaggio started hitting in the first inning when he slammed one into the left field stands with two on. His only unsuccessful trip was in the fifth when he drove the Sox fielder to the wall with a fly to left. He wound up the day's work with a double in the ninth.
Bean Ball Fires Cards
The "Gashouse spirit" of the St. Louis Cards boiled over when the Cards became incensed by what manager Eddie Dyer termed "an intentional beaming" of catcher Del Rice by Hugh Casey of the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Dyer protested that Casey should be ejected from the game, and he argued so long that he was thrown out himself—an unusual situation for the mild-mannered Texan. Dyer issued a warning to the Dodgers that "that stuff just won't go with us. You saw what happened in 1946 when they tried it."
Rice, before being ko.ed, drove in four runs to lead St. Louis to a 13 to 4 victory, the fourth of the year for southpaw Howie Pollet. The Cards are now $2^{1/2}$ games in front of the second-place Giants.
Indians Strength Leaf
The Cleveland Indians went a game and a half ahead of the American league by trimming the Boston Red Sox, 13 to 4, in a night game at Cleveland.
The Detroit Tigers won from the Philadelphia Athletics, 4 to 2 at Detroit on the five-hit pitching of Freddy Hutchinson and a 15-hit attack which Bob Swift led with a homer and two 'singles. Pat Mullin and George Vico each got three hits.
The Browns battered six Washington pitchers to beat the Nationals 17 to 7 in a night game at St. Louis. Al "Zeke" Zarilla, with three hits and five runs batted in, led the Browns in their 18-hit attack. Frank Biscan took the decision from Early Wynn.

Six-hit pitching by Howard Fox gave the Cincinnati Reds a 3 to 1 victory over the Giants at New York with rookie Virgil Stallcup supply- ing the punch on three singles and a walk.
The Pittsburgh Pirates also put on a hitting show in Boston, blasting the Braves, 13 to 0. Ralph Kiner got his ninth home run of the season, included in 17 Pittsburgh hits.
The Cubs, backed by Bill Nicholson's triple and double and Roy Smalley's first major league home run, topped the Phillies at Philadelphia, 5 to 3.
Johnson Shipped To Cardinal Farm
Ken Johnson, Kansas University professional baseball star, was optioned by the St. Louis Cardinals to the Rochester Red Wings, St. Louis farm club in the AAA International League yesterday as the Cards reduced their roster to the major league limit of 25.

Students Can Play At Country Club
Fred Fry, manager of the Lawrence Country club, announced today that students are again being allowed to play golf at the club on a daily fee basis. This practice was halted early in the spring because the course was becoming too crowded.
Fry said, however, that daily fee players would not be allowed on the course on Saturdays, Sundays, or holidays and that only a limited number would be permitted to play on week days. He advised students to phone for reservations before planning a golf game.
