Kansas Splits With Wichita
Kansas Diamond Team Is Ready For Iowa State
Spectators at Friday's and Saturday's baseball games with Iowa State may have to resort to score cards to identify men stationed at the various positions in the Kansas outfield and infield, if the starting lineup announced this morning by Coach Mike Getto is any criterion.
Two major changes and several minor ones are listed in the batting order which will attempt to quiet the Cyclones, and send them back to Ames with a double defeat, marring their present spotless conference record.
Burge to Start
Instead of starting Knute Kresie in the first game of the series, Coach Getto has given the nod to John Burge. Kresie, who can hit and field as well as pitch, will be placed at third base and Miller Cameron will be moved over to shortstop. Henry Horak has won the right field position and will be chosing flies when he isn't throwing curves. Dean Martin has been pushing Larry Hensley in the race for the center field berth and may be given preference in Friday's lineup.
lineup.
The rest of the team will be the same as the one which has represented Kansas so far this season. Charles Kraemer will play second base, Jack Sands will be on first, Monte Merkel will be behind the plate, and Eldreth Cadwalader will be in left field.
Pitch Kresie Saturday
Present plans call for Kresie to pitch Saturday's game with "Red" Dugan as the second line of defense. Such a move would again leave third base vacant, and Getto may give Dorus Munsinger a chance to display his wares at this position.
Ray Napier, who was the Jayhawks regular shortstop until an injury prevented him from playing against Missouri, is slowly rounding into shape but will not be ready for action for several days yet. However, Bob Hunt, Napier's stand-in against the Tigers, is ready, willing, and able to perform a similar duty should the unexpected happen to Cameroon this weekend.

The Kansas practice session yesterday afternoon was diversified. First, the Jayhawks went through a long workout in the batting cage. Then, they adjourned to the locker room for the movies on big league baseball produced by the National and American leagues, and shown by the University extension division. Returning to the diamond, the infielders and outfielders polished their defensive maneuvers until almost dusk.
The current production, known to some as "Swing in a Sling," has something no other play in Fraser has ever had according to those who should know. A feminine stage hand.
IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE!!
Jayhawkers Lose Golf; But Are Tennis Victors
The University of Wichita golfers handed the Jayhawker linkmen their first defeat of the season, 12 to 6, yesterday, but the tennis team, after several previous losses, came through with a 5 to 1 win over the Shocker netmen.
Dean Ritchie turned in his lowest match score of the season, when he shot the 18-hole Lawrence Country Club course in a one below par 71, for medalist honors. Bob LaGree, playing his first match with Coach Shannon's men, came through with an 81 for second honors, but lost the match to Hesse, Wichita's number four man, who shot a 76 to pace the Shocker team.
Rod Wakeland, who led the Jayhawkers in their win over Kansas City University, and shot a 78 in the linkmen's victory over Nebraska in their first Big $ ^{\textcircled{8}}$
Six meet, was definitely off form, in turning in an 83 and losing his match to Dushane. Bill McElheny shot an 85.
Netmen Hit Stride
After losing to Kansas City University by a narrow margin in their first meet, and to a strong Nebraska team, "Dutch" Uhrlaura's netmen hit their stride in a 5 to 1 victory over the Wichita netmen. Howard Engleman, Kermit Frankes, and Conrad Voelker, won their singles matches in straight sets. Charles Snyder won his first set 6-1, but Voth, Wichita number-three man, won the next two games and the match. Both the K. U. doubles combinations won their matches.
On Saturday, April 27, University of Missouri golf and tennis teams come to Lawrence for matches with the Jayhawk net and linkmen. In a Big Six dual meet held recently, Oklahoma defeated the Tiger golfers 19 to 2. This will be the second Big Six meet for the Kansas teams.

Wrong again, when I picked the Kansas golfers to triumph over the Wichita linkmen yesterday. But to my surprise, the Shockers came through to beat the Jayhawkers, 12 to 6. One consolation is that the K.U. tennis whipped the visitors, 5 to 1.
NOTICES from Drake tell us that the University of Texas squad, that was working out here for a few days, was the first visiting team to arrive for the Thirty-fifth Annual Drake Relays to be held Friday and Saturday. These games are one of the biggest and best Relays in the United States. . . There will be three Kansas Relays champions in the meet.
CORRECTION: How was I to know? William Harridge didn't tell me that Joe Kuhel, former K.C. Blues first baseman, is now playing with the Chicago White Sox and has been for a year. . Oh well, he is still leading the American League home run hitters.

GOOD-LOOKERS were the fifty high school basketball players that practiced with the varsity cagers last Saturday morning before the Relays. Dr. Allen had that old twinkle in his eye when he saw Jack Ballard, 6 foot, $64 inch center from Southwest high school in Kansas City, Mo., go through his paces. You should have seen Ballard and Jack Hallberg, 6 foot, $74 inch freshman basketball player,
Now Selling---walk into the Blue Mill together Saturday night.
Heavy firing in the major leagues begins today with two of the top teams in the American leagues, the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox, starting a series at Boston. . Strangely enough, the top farm teams of these two clubs, Kansas City's little Yankees, and Louisville's little Red Sox, also begin a series today. . Kansas City won the Little World Series in 1938 and Louisville turned the same trick last year.
Coach Ward Haylett, Kansas State,
will take his Wildcats to the Sixteenth Annual Colorado Relays this Saturday, instead of going to the Drake games. News come that Elmer Hackney is suffering from an injured knee, that makes him foul all the time, therefore he can't throw as far as usual. . . Too bad a little fellow like Hackney must always be hampered by a wrist or knee injury.
MOURNINGS FOR Joe Jacobs, also known to sports followers, as "Yussel and Mussel", will be in order for the sports world for the next few days, because the prize-fighting promoter and manager of Max Schmeling and Tony Galento, died last night from a heart attack. . . Joe would have been only 44 years old May 7. Some of the big-shots back east got tired of Joe's monopoly on the Madison Square Garden fights but they couldn't do much about it. . . Wonder who will take the throne now?
"Slammin' Sammy" Snead and Ralph Guhildal showed the golf fans of greater Kansas City the way and means of golf yesterday afternoon, when they defeated Leland Gibson and Leonard Dodson, two of K.C.'s best, in an exhibition match at the Blue Hills Country Club. 3 to 2.
