Final Intra-Squad Spring Game In Stadium Saturday
The final intra-squid game of spring will be held at 9:30 a.m. Saturday in Memorial Stadium. Coach Jack Mitchell said there will be too many conflicts, such as examinations and an afternoon track meet in the stadium, to hold the scrimmage during the afternoon.
"This will be a real good practice." Mitchell said Monday. "We'll be looking for the things which could cost us in the coming alumni game."
That game, to be held a week from Saturday in Haskell stadium. will give Mitchell and his
staff a chance to see how well the varsity will stack up against competition next fall.
"This game will give the boys an opportunity to work together as a unit," Mitchell said. "They have had to work against each other in the scrimmage games.
"The important thing in this alumni game will be to see how well we can play and how few mistakes we can make.
"Victory won't be the major objective here. But any athlete who is a good competitor hates to lose at anything," he added.
"Ray Evans (the alumni coach) has a tremendous bunch of players coming back. KU has had some real fine players, and a lot of them will be here for the game.
"They don't come back just to sit and watch. They'll be in there to play.
"And they can really play." Mitchell said as he indicated that the varsity would not play the game under what could be termed picnic conditions.
Mitchell said the competition
the alumni would put up would provide a stiff test for the Jayhawkers.
Mays put 'em there Monday night with a spectacular slugging show that included two home runs—one with the bases full—in a rolllicking 12-3 victory by the San Francisco Giants which lifted them within a half game of first place.

One thing about Willie, he doesn't need any "short porch" to help him out whether he's teeing off at the Polo Grounds or in the Coliseum as he was Monday night.
Both of his homers were real and there would be no doubt about either of them in Los Angeles, New York or Coshkoh. His first wallop came off Don Drysdale, who suffered his sixth less, in the third inning with the bases empty and it traveled 350 feet.

His second homer and sixth of the season came with the bases loaded in the fifth off Ed Roebuck. That one wound up about 360 feet from
home plate. In all, Mays collected three hits to boost his batting average to .398, second best in the league.
Musial slammed a double off the left center field wall in his first time up against loser Glenn Hobbie. He drew a walk and grounded out three times in his other trips to the plate. The Cardinal slugger will not be in the starting lineup against the Cubs in Chicago today, preferring instead to get his 3,000th hit at home in St. Louis where the Cards return Wednesday night.
The Cardinals finally climbed out of the cellar with a 6-4 victory over the slumping Cubs but an even more important development was Stan (The Man) Musial collecting the 2,999th hit of his career.

Daryl Spencer also chipped in with a pair of homers in the Giants' 17-hit attack as Ruben Gomez coasted to his third victory with a 6-hit performance that included 10 strikeouts.

up with four runs in the fifth inning. Johnny Goryl's error allowed two runs to score and Irv Noren and Al Dark each singled home a run. That 4-run cluster gave St. Louis a 2-run lead which Phil Paine and Larry Jackson protected the rest of the way. Ernie Banks hit his seventh homer off starter Frank Barnes but it wasn't enough to keep the Cubs from suffering their sixth straight setback.
Power failure at Griffith Stadium delayed the start of the game an hour and a half, but once they got the lights turned on outfielder Neil Chrisley supplied the power with a 2-run homer off loser Murray Wall in the seventh for Washington's margin of victory.

KANSAS CITY, Mo.—(UP)—Living up to their hometown habits, the Kansas City A's snapped a 6-game losing streak Monday night by ousting Chicago 2-1 on Woody Held's 11th inning homer.
The fifth-place Athletics had lost six games in a row in their recent tour of the East and were rained out of seven games.

Credit for the victory went to Murray Dickson, third Kansas City pitcher, who hurled four hitless innings. Kellner gave up the lone Chicago run in the second on successive singles by Bubba Phillips, Jim Land and Jim Rivera.
Jerry Staley was the losing pitcher although he threw only two pitches—one of which turned out to be Held's 4-bagger.
Sox second baseman Nellie Fox was spiked in a play at second in the fourth. He was expected to be back in the lineup tonight.
