MAY 1.1946
By BILL SIMS
Since the baseball season started in the majors, many players and writers have said that Bob Feller had lost his speed and a lot of his control. And it seemed that it might be so because he lost two of his first three games against second division clubs.
Feller became annoyed when the word started spreading that he had lost his stuff, and Tuesday he went out to prove that his critics were wrong. He proved it conclusively by beating the New York Yankees, one of the most powerful clubs in either league.
And, more than just defeating them by a slim margin, Feller hurled a no-hit, no-run game.
This is Feller's second perfect game in the majors. His first came on opening day of 1940 against the Chicago White Sox. It took just 133 pitches to subdue the Yankees, and that adds up to an average of only four pitches per batter. The men who began to whisper that Bob was on the down grade had better look again.

After spending three years with the Marines, Ted Lyons is making a comeback with the Chicago White Sox at the age of 45. He is the oldest active player in the majors, and is still mowing them down at the plate for the White Sox. He pitches only on Sunday, but he can still win bill games.
Lyons went straight to the White Sox from the Baylor university campus in 1923, and he stayed there until he enlisted in 1942. He had been a star on the mound for Baylor, and he became one of Chicago's most reliable hurlers as a freshman in the majors.
Lyons wants to join the select circle of pitchers who have won 300 games before he hangs up his glove. He has won 260, but 40 more games seems a long way off to a 45-year-old hurler. But even if he doesn't attain his goal, he always will be classed as a great pitcher.
It seems to me that the least that could be done for the intramural softball teams would be to have the fields mowed.
If the athletic program as a whole is going to improve here, facilities will have to be kept in as good shape as possible. They aren't very good for intramurals, and the best condition is still not very satisfactory.
The grass and weeds are about four inches high, and fielders can't tell what the ball will do. It may stop a few feet in front of them, or it may hit a patch of heavy grass or weeds and careen off to one side.
Brown Injured in Softball

Bad weather continued to handicap Jayhawker baseballers, when it forced postponement of today's game with Sedalia army air base. The Sedalia team was to fly to the game, but the plane was grounded because of take-off conditions.

Teke, SAE, Pi K A Kappa Sig, Old Timers Win Men's Softball
Kappa Sigma, Pi Kappa Alpha, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Tau Kappa Epsilon, Old Timers, and Sigma Chi were the victors in the fourth round of intramural softball play-offs on the intramural fields.
Kappa Sigma pulled from behind to defeat V-12 (A) 5-4. The winning runs came in the late half of the seventh inning, when a line drive over third brought in the tying and winning runs.
Addington, Pi Kappa Alpha, was the chief cause of defeat for the Kappa Alpha Psi ball club when he connected with two circuit clouts with men on base. The final score was 11-8. PiKA.
Sig Alph came through with a one run advantage in the late innings of the game to defeat Alpha Tau Omega. 8-7. Tau Kappa Epsilon played a fast and close game with V-12 (B) and was able to maintain a three run lead that they had compiled early in the game. The final score, TKE 8 and V-12 (B) 5.
Sigma Chi and Delta Tau Delta battled out a game that kept spectators on edge. A pitching duel between the two opponents was the high point of the tussle. Sigma Chi scored three runs and the Deltas none up until the first half of the seventh, but the Deltas brought across 2 runs and left a man on second base to end the game 3-2. Williams, Sigma Chi, and Baker, Delta Tau Delta, were the pitchers.
The Old Timers scored a 6-1 defeat over Phi Gamma Delta, after the Phi Gam hurler, Len Hartigan, was injured during play. A line drive to the pitchers mound struck Hartigan, knocking him unconscious and he was removed from the game. Hartigan was the third player on the Phi Gam squad to meet with an accident during intramural softball.
