T. P. "One Man Show" Hunter
Gangly T. P. Hunter, Jayhawk pitcher and first sacker, had a big day all around in yesterday's Rockhurst game. He gathered two hits in four appearances at the plate, batted in four runs, had eight put out outs and two assists to his credit . . . But it was at stealing and almost stealing bases that "Wigwam" really shined. Using his own original delayed perambulating base purloining method, which consists of running halfway to the next sack, then stopping to ponder whether to continue or retreat, T. P. stole second in the third inning, almost repeated in the sixth . . . Hunter's one man exhibition of evasion in the sixth was a classic. Caught between first and second sacks, T. P. had everyone but the batboy on the Rockhurst team gathered about trying to tag him out before he finally submarinaded back to the initial sack. He finally did reach second—and was caught off base.
Formula For Batting
"Now, Hodgie, just imagine there are runners on first, second, and third when you step to the plate," admonished coach "Phog" Allen as Warren Hodges led off in the third. Catcher Hodges must have a vivid imagination, for he blasted a double that trip and stacked up four safeties in five chances for the afternoon. It isn't likely that Bill Essech, New York Yankee scout, failed to note this as he watched yesterday's fray. He has been after Hodges for quite some time now.
John. Krum inadvertently performed an unusual stunt as he batted in the fourth. He swung away from a close pitch, and as he turned, the ball bounced off the butt end of his bat. He was using the pool room technique, so to speak.
Odds and ends: Doug Kirk, Hawk keystone baseman, got a rousing jeer from the Jayhawk spectators on each plate appearance; he endeared himself to the onlookers by contesting a decision at second in which umpire “Doc” Bice called a Kansas man safe . . . Alford Alford held Leo Muckenthaler to a single by a neat job of fielding and pegging to second in the fifth stanza. . . Krum flagged down for a single a third base-line blow which was post-marked for a double or triple. . . Green hauled down a line drive as he faded back into the outfield to

Kansas Downs Haw Hodges, Kresie Spark Jayhawk Nine's Batfest
With catcher Warren Hodges blasting four hits in five tries and pitcher Knute Kresie blanking the Hawks for seven innings, Kansas' baseball team rampaged over the Rockhurst College nine 12-5 on the Jayhawk diamond yesterday.
Kresie, in pitching the first five and the last two frames, limited Rockhurst to six hits, gave up three walks, and fanned six batters. Kansas batsmen pummeled the Hawk hurlers, Jim Costello and John Steck for 16 hits, three of them doubles by
John Krum, Larry Johnston, and Hodges.
Calihan Leads Hawks
Tom Calihan led Rockhurst at the plate with two hits and two runs in three official trips, as Rockhurst's coach, J. B. "Red" Anderson, saved his big portside pitcher, Buzz Muck-enhaler for Friday afternoon when coach Forrest C. "Phog" Allen's squad plays a return engagement with the Hawks at Ruppert stadium in Kansas City.
Dean Martin opened the Kansas half of the initial inning with a clean single. Del Green sacrificed him to second, and Kresie walked. Bob Innis hit safely to score Martin, and Gene Alford followed suit with a single. T. P. Hunter scratched out a base hit which shoved Kresie and Innis home to give the Jayhawks an early advantage.
Big Third Inning for Kansas
Kansas unlimbered its heavy guns in the third inning to mark up seven more runs. Hodges started the pyrotechnics with a double, Kresie singled, and Innis reached first by an error. Alford walked filling the bases, and an error on Hunter's bingle let Hodges and Kresie score.
Krum maintained the attack with a double scoring Alford and Hunter. Martin was hit by a pitched ball to get a base. Krum scampered home on Green's single, and Martin talled on Hodge's single before Steck had replaced Costello on the mound to check the flurry.
Green scored for the Jayhawks in the fifth after he reached base on a walk and crossed home on Kresie's sacrifice fly. Martin brought the last Kansas counter in the seventh by a base blow; a hit by Hodges put Martin on third, and he crossed home on a wild pitch.
Double Killing Squelches Hawks
Rockhurst scoring chances were turned back cold in the first innning when the Jayhawks ripped off a double play-Pete Teichgraeber to Green to Hunter. In the sixth frame, with Hunter tossing for Kansas, the Hawk attack got up enough steam to roll in two runs on three hits.
John Mitchell walked, and Doug
