In three of the most recent no-hit, no-run games hurled in the majors, the other half of the battery has done more than its share to help give the pitcher fame.
Bob Feller, who admits that a catcher is the "best friend a pitcher can have," claims that he might not have been able to win either of his "near perfect" games had it not been for the hitting of his battery mate.
In his 1940 masterpiece against the White Sox, Feller needed a triple by Mets' Hemsley, which drove in Jeff Heath. "get the winning run in a 1. 1 to 0. game."
In Tuesday's no-hitter, Catcher Frankie Hayes slammed a ninth inning homer that gave his margin of victory.
Ed Head also got some important stick work from Catcher Ferrell Anderson when he hurled his recent no-hitter. Anderson got two hits in four trips, one of which was a home run.
--gooey pastry they serve at 5 a.m. tastes like horsemeat. And Andy was not loathe to let people know that his mount, Dark Jungle, had a terrific chance when they run for the roses on Saturday.
Anderson, who starred in football at K.U., for three years before graduating in 1939, is featured in story in this week's Sporting News.
Anderson played guard for the Jayhawkers, and was captain of the team his senior year. He signed All-Big Six honors in 1938.
He also starred for the Jayhawkers on the diamond, and was signed to a contract with the Yankees just 15 hours before he was graduated.
John Kimbrough, former Texas A. and M. All-American fullback has signed a contract to play professional basketball with the Los Angeles conferences.
Kimbrough played with the New York Yankees as a grider before the war, and was recently discharged from the air force.
"Jarring John" was the most widely heralded footballer in the nation when he was in college. He was considered the same sort of crusher on the gridiron as Doc Blanchard of Army is today. He was the most sought after player, when time rolled around to sign a professional contract, but the war interrupted his career.
My choice to take the American league pennant this year, the Boston Red Sox, is leading the way and is surprising most of the so-called experts.
Most of them thought Boston wouldn't have the hurling strength to capture the pennant, but they all conceded that Boston's hitting power would be the strongest in the league.
Jervis Breaks 1941 Record
The question mark pitching staff, however, has compiled the best early season record in either major league. The top four Red Sox hurlers have won 11 of the Boston club's 13 victories so far. Hughson, Harris, Dobson, and Ferriss have turned in some fine jobs on the mound.
A new intramural swimming record was set in the 50-yard breast stroke Thursday night, when Stanley Jervis, Beta Theta Pl, covered the distance in 29.6 seconds. The old record of 31.5 was set by Stevens of the Newman club in 1941.
Semi-finals were run off in the 50-yard breast stroke, the 100-yard backstroke, 100-yard free style, 50-yard free style, and the individual medley relay.
Bill Holloway, Alpha Tau Omega was the only man to qualify for the finals in three events, the 100-yard backstroke, 50-yard free style, and medley relay.

Rain Halts Yesterday's Game With Sedalia in Fourth
The game between the Jayhawkers and Sedalia army air base was called on account of rain in the fourth inning Thursday with the Crimson and Blue leading 10 to 1.
The muddy field and a steady drizzle made the game a slow contest with several errors and spotty playing. The Jayhawkers were credited with five hits to score their ten runs.
It is still too early to say that they will definitely win the title, but if early season performances are any indication, the other clubs will have a hard job trying to keep up the pace the Red Sox are setting.

Come the sun and a fast track, Lord Boswell will be mighty tough to fasten. He'll also be rugged in the mud, just to confuse the issue.
Come a muddy track, the Boswell will have his hooves full to stave off the challenge. He picks up a dampen, who opens the camp from the field in the Chesapeake stakes.
And, be it either sun or mud, Lord Boswell and Hampden will have their difficult times with the dark brown called Dark Jungle.
They are Maine Chance farm's Lord Boswell, which is no surprise; Foxcatcher Farm's Hampden, and a dark outsider quoted at 30-to-1 named Dark Jungle.
That's a hot tip, son, although it's easy to admit that those are the kind which cost you money when you fiddle around the race tracks. Nero parked his base viol at the gate, but you all better check those pistols coming in if you're interested in wagering on the following.
It comes from a jockey, one of three involved in the trio of aforementioned chargers, and he's a kid from Brooklyn who loves the Dodgers and won't admit if they're 12 lengths behind at the head of the stretch that they ever lowered the Ebbets field banner to those St. Louis Cardinals.
Louisville, Ky. (UP) — There may be a baker's dozen or more entered, but actually there are only three horses in the Kentucky Derby to be run over the tan-colored horse highway at Churchill Downs comes Saturday. Fearless Fraley's foolproof almanac revealed today.

Churchill Downs Classic Saturday Will Be A Three-Horse Show, Fraley Predicts
The kid in question is a typically-
cocky Brooklynite named Andy Loturco,
a dark-haired son of the city
who makes his living in the country.
Loturco, sipping a cup of java in the backstretch restaurant at Church hill Downs today, had it all figured out. Trainers and jockeys milled around under the low-celled, self-service b籍ery where even the

"It's going to take a lot of horse to beat us," Loturco bubbled through a gulp of coffee. "We can give them all trouble on either a muddy or fast track. The big worry is Lord Boswell, along with Hampden in the mud.
The guy sounded like a miniature Leo Durocher.
"But rain or shine, watch out for that Dark Jungle. We'll give them all plenty of trouble. I'm telling you."
And, strangely enough, the feeling around the backstretch where men make their living off or horses is that the boy from Brooklyn has something there.

Most Horses Since 37 In Kentucky Derby
Louisville, Ky. (UP)—Prospects of an off track failed to narrow the field for the 72nd annual running of the Kentucky Derby today and 17 horses, the most to face the barrier in the classic since 1937, appeared to be sure bets to go to the post.
Their owners were scheduled to start laying the final $1,000 starting fee on the line beginning at 8 a.m. (EDT) and despite the forecast for unfavorable racing conditions it looked like all 17 would be at the barrier at post time tomorrow.
