A's Bag Twin Win, Spoil Boston Holiday
New York, April 20—(UP)—Everything went according to plan—almost.
The world champion Yankees crushed the Washington Senators as was expected. Ewell Blackwell of Cincinnati took up where he left off last year as baseball's leading pitcher. And a couple of rookies, Lou Brissie of the
Oilers Lose Four, Then-A 'Gusher'
After losing their first four games, the Tulsa Oilers embarrassed the Dallas Rebels, 31 to 1 Sunday with less than 2,000 Tulsa fans on hand to watch the slaughter.
The game started out normally. Tulsa led 4-1 after three and one-half innings. The Oilers scored four times more in the fourth, and then the skies crashed in on Dallas pitcher Tom Pullig. The Tulsans tallied ten times in the fifth.
Manager Jimmy Adair of Dallas then took pity on Pullig and sent Johnny Herr to the mound. It took the Oklahomaans a little while to catch on to Herr's slants. They could score only five runs in the next two innings. In but in their last time at bat in the eighth, the Ollers found the range again and scored another eight runs.
Right fielder Russ Burns led the Tulsa hit parade with three home runs, batting in seven runs. Third baseman Tom Tatum and centerfielder Jay Haney also authored homers for Tulsa.
Dave Jolley held Dallas to six hits. Two singles and a long fly in the first inning gave Dallas its only run.
Track Talk
If you passed by the track in Memorial stadium any day about 6 o.m. in the past 3 weeks, you may have noticed a lone figure, clad in a football uniform, tossing a javelin across the field, then walking to pick it up and throw it again. The person was Bob Drumm.
April 10, when Bill Easton's track men were rallying to defeat the Nebraska Cornhuskers, they needed first and second in the final event of the afternoon, the javelin, to win the meet.
Bob, who plays tackle on the football squad, got interested in throwing the javelin about five weeks ago and has been practicing after his football workout every day.
Still wearing his football shoes, Drumm stepped up and heaved the javelin 196 feet 5 inches, which was not only good enough to win first place but stands as the best throw in the Big Seven thus far this year. As coach Easton stepped over and congratulated Bob after the meet he said, "It just proves what hard work and a desire to make good will do."
---
Another surprise in the meet with Nebraska, which helped to supply the Jayhawkers with their first dual meet victory in two years, was the performance of Lee Schlosser, who started the K.U. rally by winning the 220-vard low hurdles in 23.8.
K. U. has been lacking a good hurdler all year, and Lee seems to be the answer. He also placed third in the 100-yard dash, which is another event in which coach Easton's team is weak.
. . .
One track man that coach Easton would like to see report is Charlie Penny. who was the Kansas state champion in the shot put and discus when he was in Lawrence High school. Charley was a point winner in many of the meets last season, but has not been out for track as yet this year.
Instructor Out Of Hospital
Miss Rose Ebener, assistant instructor of history, is back teaching her classes today. She has been in the University hospital, Kansas City, Kan., since April 9, with a virus infection in her throat and lungs.
Prof. W. W. Davis, head of the history department, has been teaching Miss Ebener's classes.
Philadelphia A's and Hank Sauer of the Reds, lived up to all advance notices.
What's more the vaunted Boston Red Sox got three consecutive home runs. But they lost a double header to the Athletics.
That item wasn't in the script. The A's won the morning and afternoon Patriot's day twin bill from the Red Sox, 5 to 4 in 11 innings, and 4 to 2. It also was a little amazing to note the Dixie Walker, the "old reliable" from Brooklyn, made a two base error in the outfield for Pittsburgh.
Sox Power Wasted
The A's, despite a second inning lapse by Phil Marchildon in which Stan Spence, Vern Stephens, and Bobby Doerr touched him for consecutive homers, won the opener in the 11th. They scored two runs on Buddy Rosar's double, singles by Pete Suder and Eddie Joost and a long fly by rookie Don White.
Joost previously had fitted into the script by striking out three times, getting off to a good start in defense of his dubious laurals as whiff-king of the American league. He fanned 110 times last year.
In the second game, rookie Brissise held the Red Sox to four hits and struck out seven. He supplied some of his own offensive support by getting a two run single in a big fourth inning in that Joost drove in the other run with a fly ball.
Blast Wyman Early
At Washington, the Yankees demonstrated they were still the Yankees by getting to Early Wynn for seven runs in the first inning, then breezing to a 12 to 4, 16 hit triumph. Tommy Henrich hit a two run homer to touch things off and pitcher Allie Reynolds would up the rally with a three run homer.
Rookie manager Joe Kuhel kept Wynn in until the ninth inning when it would have been impossible for him to live up to his name. He was tagged for all 16 hits before being relieved. Gus Niarhos got three hits for the champs. Scatters Pirate Hits
Blackwell, who won 22 games last year, racked up number one without much trouble as he held the Pirates to seven scattered hits in a 4 to 1 victory. The Reds also got seven hits but their blows were more potent.
Rookie Sauer hit a home run with Grady Hatton on base and Bobby Adams also got a four base wallop to provide the margin of victory. Wa'ker, one of the surest fielders in the business, let the other run in when he mussed up a short fly.
The rest of the teams get into action today with the Brownns at Cleveland and the Tigers at Chicago along with a repeat performance by the Yankees and Senators.
St. Paul—(UP)—Robert P. Freeman, 35-year-old forger, was up for sentence on Feb. 13. He objected to being sentenced that day because it was Friday the 13th. The following Monday, he was sentenced to 10 years, but he still believes his hunch paid off. Because of a previous conviction, he could have been sentenced automatically to 20 years.

Writers Pick Yanks, Cards
New York—(UP)—Big league baseball writers, playing it close to the vest, tabbed the New York Yankees and St. Louis Cardinals as the two teams most likely to meet in the 1948 World Series as big leaguers went to the post for another 154-game grind.
Voting in the annual pre-season United Press poll, 27 writers thought the Yankees and Cardinals would be World Series rivals in October, while 20 chose the Yankees to oppose the Boston Braves.
Sixty-three writers out of 96 selected the Yankees to repeat in the American league and 42 designated the Cardinals in the National league.
Fifteen other writers foresaw a repetition of the 1946 fall classic when the Red Sox met the Cardinals, and 11 looked for the Yankees to meet the Brooklyn Dodgers again in the coming World Series.

KU To Invade Hornets' Nest
Coach Bill Winey's golf team invades Hornet territory today to match shots with Emporia State Teachers, but Bill Jones, Kansas's number one player, announced that he would not accompany the squad and would probably not play any more varsity golf this year.
Jones rejoined the team last week and played one match after announcing that he was quitting intramural sports. He said then that he would await the result of a vote by intramural managers Thursday on the ruling that varsity athletes can not participate in intramurals. However, Jones said the managers were not allowed to vote. He added that because the ruling was not changed he would play only intramural sports this year.
Jayhawker players making the trip are Dick Ashley, Bob Meeker, Hal Delongy, and Courtland Smith, coach Winey said.
Locke Opens Fire With Nine Birdies
Southern Pines, N. C., April 20—(UP) Bobby Locke, South Africa's golfing wizard, with an eight-under-par 64 under his belt, boasted a wide edge over the rest of the field which entered the second round of the Carolina open golf tournament today.
in winning medal honors Monday, Locke racked up nine birdies, bogied only once—on the par three 13th hole—and sliced three strokes off the course record.
Wielding a polished putter, the South African shot stylist, who is defending the title he won here in 1947, led by five strokes over Johnny Bulla of High Point, N. C., who put together a 35 and a 34 for 69.
