In Big Eight play this season. Kansas has dropped three-game series to Oklahoma State and Iowa State. In between, the Missouri set
The Buffaloes stand 1-2 in league play having missed six conference games because of rain and snow. They are tied with Nebraska for fifth in the Big Eight, ahead of KU and K-State who are both 0-6.
Colorado has an over-all season record of five wins and four losses.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — (UPI) — Harry Simpson cracked his first hit of the season last night when he smashed a long home run in the bottom of the ninth to give the Athletics a 4-3 win over Baltimore.
Simpson hit the second pitch by Billy Loes, for the first game-winning run off the Baltimore hurler this year. It cost him the game. Loes is now 1-1 and the A's winner -Ned Garver-claims a 3-1 record.
Simpson Homers To Lead KC Past Orioles
The same teams go at it again tonight with Bob Grom slated to go for the A's. It will be Jerry Walker (1-0) for the Orioles. Garver scattered eight hits for the win last night.
Kansas City opened the game with two runs in the first on a walk to Bill Tuttle, a single by Whitey Herzog, another single by Roger Maris, which scored Tuttle. A sacrifice fly by Bob Cerv scored Herzog.
The Athletics added another in the fourth on a single by Frank House, a double by Joe De Maestri and Herzog's ground-out.
Jack Harshman started for Baltimore and retired after four innings, giving way to Ernie Johnson. Loes came on in the seventh and pitched hitless ball until Simpson's game-winning blast. The Simpson homer cleared the right-center field fence at the 380 mark.

On-And-On Needs Rider
LOUISVILLE, Ky - (UPI) - AI Derby Town puzzled today over Calumet Farm's reentry into the Kentucky Derby. But the professional horsemen on the backstretch were more concerned with the size of the field.
Jones said he was reluctant to give up a chance to win a third straight Kentucky Derby and wanted to "buy" 48 additional hours in which to reach a decision.
"If, On-And-On starts, I'll bet him," was heard over and over throughout the city, even though trainer Jimmy Jones admits there is a good chance his colt will not start.
Since he released Steve Brooks, who does most of the riding for Calumet, Jones does not have a jockey for On-And-On. He denied
a report that he had contacted Ismael Valenzuela, who subbed for injured Willie Hartack a year ago and won with Tim Tam. Another stable had been in touch with Valenzuela but later changed its mind
The entry of On-And-On raised the field to 18 starters. Many trainers began to worry about its size.
"My horse has enough speed to stay out of any trouble at the start but some of the others don't. You don't knock another man's horse but we both know the one you are talking about when you bring up some pretty rough characters in it."
"You have to worry about it," said J. H. (Casey) Hayes who trains the favored First Landing for Christopher T. Chenery.
One of the "rough characters" is Open View who can wander all over
a race track. "Unruly on turn."
"bore in badly." "swerved in start."
are among the comments on his past performances in a racing paper.
Tomy Lee, second choice in the second richest of all Kentucky Derbies, had a habit of going wide on the turns as a juvenile. He did it in the Blue Grass Stakes at Keeneland this year but jockey Willie Shoemaker said the colt straightened out quickly when he shifted the bit in his mouth.
