Tigers Tram Tee Off Against Burge, Allen
Missouri handed the Jayhawks a 18-5 pasting on the diamond yesterday afternoon to sweep their two-game series in Lawrence. Frank Graham, junior right-hander, allowed the Jayhawks only one run until the ninth inning to rack up his second victory of the year.
Herb Gregg paced the Bengal attack with a two run homer in the seventh inning, a double and a single. Knute Kresie was
the leading Kansas batter with three safeties out of five times at bat.
John Burge, starting Kansas hurler, was knicked for eight hits and 10 runs in the first seven innings, before he gave way to Bob Allen. Allen worked the final two innings and was hit hard as the Tigers pushed eight more runs across the plate.
The Kansas defense was leaking badly with eight errors charged against it. Fourteen Missouri hits plus the sloppy Jayhawker fielding made the score mount.
Kansas tagged Graham for 11 hits, but left 13 men on base when the Tiger hurler bore down in the pinches.
The Jayhawks are scheduled to play a return series with Missouri this weekend, meeting the Tigers at Columbia in games Friday and Saturday afternoons. The traveling squad has not yet been announced.

Induct Greenberg At Fort Cnster
Detroit, May 7.—(UP)—Hank Greenberg, the highest paid player in baseball, ungrudgingly began a year in the army today 'just like any other soldier."
The six-foot four-inch outfielder, who got $50,000 a year from the Detroit Tigers, took his new $21 a month job in khaki determined to be "a good soldier."
Greenberg's draft board offered to postpone his induction until tomorrow so he could be on the field today when the American league pennant is hoisted above Briggs stadium. Bue he declined to accept, thinking it looked like a favor.
Greenberg's first day in the army takes him to Fort Custer, Mich., a reception center and encampment of the streamlined Fifth division.
Reporting to his draft board with 49 others early this morning, he went to an induction center for more medical tests and goes to the camp this afternoon.
Greenberg either will be assigned to the Fifth division at Custer or the 32nd at Camp Livingston, La., according to Lieut. Col. Hammond D. Birks, in charge of the reception center.
If he remains at Fort Custer, his teammates on the camp baseball team would include Gene Stack, former Chicago White Sox pitcher from Saginaw, Mich.; Bob Ogle, third baseman from the Florida State, Cotton States and Michigan State League; Truman Connell, former first baseman of the Cleveland Indians, and Jack Zoan of Battle Creek, a catcher. His "coach" would be Capt. George Zegolis, former Wayne University baseball player.
Knute Kresie, pitcher for the Kansas baseball team, was elected president and Ed Linquist, who plays fullback on the Jayhawk football team, was chosen vice-president.
Officers for next year's K-Club were elected at a meeting last night in Robinson gymnasium.

Don Pollom was elected secretary, and Ted Scott, treasurer.
Believe it or not, it was a baseball game. The Pi Phi's defeated the Alpha Chi's, 30 to 11. The battery for the Pi Phi's was Jean Hinshaw, pitcher and Cora Hepworth, catcher. Mary Brower was pitcher for the Alpha Chi's and Jeryn Ann Greene was their catcher.

Baseball Roundup: Little Herbie Gregg, fleet Missouri center fielder, is still making trouble for Kansas teams. . . Last winter he racked up 17 points against the Jayhawkers in basketball, and yesterday he collected three hits out of six times at bat. . . One of his blows, a home run which cleared the right field fence and bounced off a car on Mississippi street, was the talk of the Hill last night.
Harry Ice put on a dazzling exhibition of base running yesterday when he singled and promptly stole second, third, and home . . . Jim Starmer, Bengal right fielder, evidently was getting tired in the ninth inning, for with his team far in the lead, he charged in from the outfield to protest a decision at second base . . . And only to receive the old heave-ho from the umpire . . . Bill Spencer, Missouri's crack pitcher, was waved to the showers earlier in the game.
Forrest "Knute" Kresie was batting leader in the series with four blows out of eight chances for a .500 average . . . Paul Christian hit a measly .111 for the series, which doesn't look like big league stuff to this corner . . .
CARLTON TERRY, the University of Texas sprinter, who won the 100-yard dash in 9.4 seconds at the Kansas Relays, is still cutting down his time . . . In a recent triangular meet with Rice and Texas A. and M., he was clocked by two watches in 9.2 seconds . . . The only catch is that he had a wind on his back again . . . Terry claims that wearing high-heeled cowboys boots helps his running by making him walk on his toes, which is probably true, since he is naturally flat-footed.
