Cleveland Uses Power To Win Fifth Straight
New York, April 27—(UP) The Cleveland Indians were even outding their "teachers," the New Giants, in home run production today.
with 12 homers in five games, the Indians not only are setting the home run pace for both major leagues, but they are ahead of the pace of the Giants for the early stages of their record-wrecking 1947 season.
All spring the Indians trained in the company of the Giants in Arizona so when it came time to start the season, a few of the Indian batsmen just naturally got the home run habit.
Yesterday they put on the most terrific offensive display of the season, getting 22 hits, four of them homers, as they topped the White Sox, 12 to 11 at Chicago in 14 innings. Eddie Robinson's second homer of the day in the 14th gave the Indians the victory. Ken Kelt-gner, the home run leader for both leagues with five, also connected for one and Larry Doby got the other. Keltger got only 11 homers all last season.
Boss Lou Hits Hard
There was plenty of other hitting too in that four-hour struggle in which the Indians finally protected their status as the only unbeaten club in the majors. Lou Boudreau got five hits, two triples, two doubles, and a single, while Tony Lupien, Cass Michaels and Dave Philley contributed Chicago homers.
The Giants, setting the home run pace as usual in the National, also were in first place with five straight victories to crow about. Getting fine pitching to go along with their power again yesterday, the Giants scored a 5 to 1 triumph over the Phils at New York.
Lefty Dave Kosio, making his first start, demonstrated convincingly that he had recovered from an elbow operation, scattering seven hits and holding the Phils scoreless until the eighth. Sid Gordon drove in three tallies with a two run homer and a single and Walker Cooper accounted for the other two with a pair of prodigious doubles.
Stanky Gets Revenge
Eddie Stanky had his day of revenge against the Dodgers in Boston, sparking the Braves to a 5 to 0 triumph against the team which callously traded him away. As Bill Volselle pitched a three-hitter, Stanky got a triple, single, and a walk, scored two runs, handled seven chances perfectly, and broke up a certain double play by crushing into his old infield buddy, Peewee Reese. Jim Russell homered for the Braves.
The surprising Brown's took over third place in the American when Fred Sanford bested Dizzy Trout in a pitching duel at St. Louis, edging the Tigers 2 to 1 by scattering nine hits. He also started the winning rally by hitting a double, then coming around to score on singles by Bob Dillinger and Chuck Stevens. The Detroit run was a homier by Bob Swift.
William Cate Lowry
Thumpin' Ted Williams and Mel Parnell shared the honors as the Red Sox whitewashed Washington, 6 to 1, in a night game.
Williams got three singles and a double in four times up for a perfect night at the plate, while Lefty Mel held the Senators to five hits in winning his third appearance of the season. Four of the Bosox runs were unearned, thanks to two errors and a passed ball.

League Loss For KU Nine
Manhattan, Kans., April 27 (Special to University Daily Kansan) A sixth inning assault on "Lefty" Ralph Hammer, Jayhawk Moundsman, which netted two runs, gave the Kansas State Wildcats a 4 to 2 victory in the first of a 2-game Big Seven baseball series Monday. A near capacity crowd numbering approximately 3,000 persons attended the fast moving contest.
The Wildcats broke up a brilliant pitching dual between Hammer and Jack Dean, the Cats basketball star and ace hurler, when Ted Grimes led off the sixth inning with a 350 foot triple to left center field and scored immediately afterwards on a double to by Dana Atkins. Atkins later moved around to score on two long flys to the outfield.
Hammer was in rare form the first five innings as he puzzled K-State batsmen, allowing only two singles. His slow curve was effective against an all-right-handed Wildeat batting lineup as the Kansas City Jayhawker issued only one walk in the seven and one-third innings he toiled. John Freed relieved Hammer with one man out in the last half of the eighth.
Freed faced two batsmen walking one and striking out one. Two men were on base at the time Freed entered the game. However, John Fencyk, KU catcher, whipped a beautiful throw to third baseman Neil Shaw to catch the stealing Dale Carr for the second out to relieve the pressure on Freed.
Kansas got down to business early tallying both of their runs in the first inning. Shaw walked, moved to second on Lou DeLuna's sacrifice and went to third on a fielder's choice as Bud French was tossed out at first. Red Hogan who sparkled in center field singled home with a scorcher to left field. Hogan advanced to second on a wild pitch and scored on a one-base drive to left by Paul Gilkeson. Gilkeson garnered three singles for the evening.
K. U. threatened in the eighth when with two out Bud French tripped down the left field foul line but died there as Hogan was tossed out, Dean to first baseman Dave Bremner.
The Jayhawks came back briefly in the ninth as Gilkeson opened with a single to center but Dick Bertuzzi lined to third baseman Al Sheriff who doubled Gilkeson on first. Pinch hitter Guy Mabry popped out to Sheriff to end the game. The game tonight will be rebroadcast over WIBW, starting at 10:30 p.m.

Evans Signs With Pitt
Ray Evans, the only first string allAmerican ever to wear the crimson and blue of Kansas, signed a one-year contract late Monday to play professional football for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Although salary terms were not disclosed, it is reported by officials that the figure is in the neighborhood of $21,000. It was announced by John Michelsen, Steeler coach who succeeded the late Dr. John B. Sutherland, that Evans has been granted a leave of absence from the City National bank of Kansas City to play one year of pro ball.
Following the all-American's graduation from the School of Business here in February, he announced that he had decided to forego professional football to take up a business career with the Kansas City bank.
Mike Getto, K.U. coach, today said he was very happy to see Evans sign with the Steelers. "Ray has what it takes to make good in pro ball," the former assistant to Dr. Sutherland commented.
It was Getto who first convinced Dr. Sutherland that Evans would someday be first class pro material. Getto also said today that he had declined a recent offer from the Steelers to return to Pittsburgh this fall and take up coaching duties with the professional team.
Getto Plugs Evans
Coach Michelsen stated that Evans would probably be used at left halfback in the Steeler's single and double wingback formations. He indicated that Evans would also be used as a punter, a position that he did not fill for Kansas after his sophomore year.
The Steelers obtained draft rights to Evans from the Chicago Bears in exchange for similar rights to Texas' Bobby Layne.
