UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
FRIDAY, APRIL 24, 1942
Leavenworth's soldiers did it again! For the second time this season they got a one point lead over Kansas and are satisfied to coast to a win on that thin margin. Defensively, Kansas still outplayed the soldier boys, many of whom are former pros . . . Oasis Swigart, star Leavenworth hurler who used to do his pitching for the Pittsburgh Pirates, was confined to the sidelines with a sore arm. Drafted for mound chores was Bill Stolt who had just inducted into the army a few days ago. Yesterday was the first time (except for a practice session earlier this week) that Stolt had toed the rubber in two years . . . He looked fairly good considering his lack of conditioning and hurling practice, but we are told that he used to pitch for the Winnepeg team in the Northern Association. Perhaps that explains why he did rise above mediocrity.
Lester Kappleman, shortstop tor the service team yesterday, was playing against the team upon which he had spent the three seasons of his college varsity career. Kap, a Lawrence product, played on the Jayhawk basketball and baseball teams of 1937, '38, and '39 . . . As sportswriter for the Daily Kansan, he wrote the column, "Kap in this Korner," in the fall of 1938. He comes from a dynasty of Crimson and Blue athletes. His older brother, Francis, was a member of the Kansas quintet which was squeezed out of the regional Olympic basketball playoffs by Utah State in 1936. Francis was a Jayhawk baseball player too; he went up to the Pacific Coast League before returning here to coach fresh basketball in 1941. He's now in the army at Jefferson Barracks . . . Glenn Kappleman is the third of the series of brothers to enter K. U. He is running the distances on track coach W H. "Bill" Hargiss' fresh squad.
Baseball coach "Phog" Allen has a defensive team on the diamond this year which is superior to any Kansas has seen in a number of seasons. In two games, the Jayhawk infield of John Krum, Marshall Hulett, Del Green, and Knute Kresie or T. P. Hunter have whipped off three double plays . . . There is nothing left to luck when these boys take the field. They all field the ball and fire it around with the speed, precision, and poise of veterans . . . Del Green appears to be the deciding factor of the infield. He went clear back of second into the outfield one time in yesterday's fray to take a fly. He polished off the game by leaping into the air to take a line drive which had all the earmarks of a base hit . . . In the outfield Bob Innis spent a busy afternoon. It seems all the飞ys headed for deep left field. His catching was spectacular . . . The gem of the afternoon came in the seventh innings when he ran back to his right to catch a high one over his shoulder . . . All the batters had the range for home runs—right down the third base line. Innis, Kappleman, and Warren Hodges all blasted hits out that direction, but they all fell foul. Warren Custenborder managed to pole one out along the third base line; the result a homer.
Soldiers Edge Out Kansas 8-7
Service Team Breaks 6th Inning Deadlock
BY ALAN B. HOUGHTON KANSAN SPORTS EDITOR
After Kansas had pushed across four runs in the sixth inning to tie the score 7-all, Ft. Leavenworth's soldier nine slipped across a counter in the seventh stanza to down the Jayhawks on the home diamond 8-7 yesterday.
Leavenworth broke the deadlock with the deciding run when Charley 'Red' Knoblack walked, went to second on Ralph Houk's single and came home $ \textcircled{2} $
Soldiers Score First
The soldier club drew first blood in the opening inning on two runs. With one down Les Kappleman, ex-Jayhawk basketball a and baseball stalwart, singled and completed the circuit on an extra base hit by pint-sized Willie Seal.
Dean Martin, Jayhawk portside batter, led off in Kansas' half of the initial stanza with a hit. Knute Kresie walked with two out, and Hodges poled out a double to chase Martin and Kresie home. After an error on Bob Innis' blow which put Hodges on third, the service club tightened to retire the side.
A single by Houk sent Seal scampering home. Catcher Warren Hodges of Kansas threw to Del Green at second to nip Houk trying to steal second. Houk's out closed the Fort's first inning attack. Kansas Evens Count
One man was out in the second inning when the Jayhawks pulled a snappy double play-Green to Marshall Hulett to Kresie—to kill a soldier scoring threat. Custenborder Clouts Homer
First man up for the service team in the third was Pitcher, who gathered in a hit, went to second on errors committed in handling Kappleman's grounder. With two down, Houk connected for a double to bat in Pitcher and Kappleman. Custen-border culminated the army's third inning scoring in grandiose style with the game's only home run, hit down the third base line.
Kansas retaliated in its half of the third with a run by Kresie. He had gained first via a base on balls, was brought home on hits by Innis and Larry Johnston.
Kansas Defense Clicks
Jayhawker defense predominates in the fifth stanza when a double play—Krum to Green to Kresie—chilled Leavenworth's scoring attempt. Lawrence Torczen marked up a tally for the army in the sixth after he had walked, was sacrificed to third by pitcher Bill Stolt, and came home on a throw to first.
T. P. Hunter set off the Kansas scoring explosion in its half of the sixth frame by getting a base through an error. Gene Alford took first on a bobble, and Krum brought both runners home on a single. Kre-
sie was passed to first with a base on balls. Hodges knocked out a base hit, bringing home Krum and Kresie before Kansas' offensive flurry died.
Bill Atwell, southpaw hurler, opened on the mound for Kansas but gave way to T. P. Hunter in the third inning with two out, nobody on. Hunter pitched til the eighth with Kresie tossing the last two. Stolt, who bats portside but pitches right handed, went the route for the soldiers.
