Showing "show-me" state baseball followers in convincing fashion, the A's appeared at the peak of their spring season in defeating the Redbirds twice in Sunday's prolonged doubleheader. Harry Craft's A's mixed strong pitching, alert baserunning and power to win the exhibition twin-bill 7-1 and 3-2. The A's had won 4-3 on Saturday on Jack Urban's clutch single in the bottom of the ninth inning. Craft, who plans to throw Ned Garver against Cleveland's Herb Score Tuesday, admitted Sunday night "the team's looking real good." The former Cincinnati outfielder, starting his first year as a major league pilot, appeared confident the Athletics could continue their improved play as the American League season gets underway. Jack Urban allowed the Cardinals six harmless singles in the opener as Vic Power, Bob Cerv and Bill Tuttle combined for the bating punch. Power knocked in three runs, Cerv delivered a towering homer and Tuttle knocked in two more runs with a double. Tuttle, who had won Saturday's game with a ninth inning single, continued his torrid hitting in the 14th inning finale. The newly acquired Tuttle singled in the 14th and Bob Martyn, on at first, scampered all the way home when Cardinal outfielder Gene Green momentarily bobbled. Kansas Sets Seven Marks In Romp Over OSU Sweeping all three places in four events and setting seven of nine new meet records, the KU Jayhawkers had little trouble downing the Oklahoma State track squad, 90-45, in a dual meet here Saturday. Coach Easton's Jayhawkers took all places in the mile and two-mile runs, the javelin throw and the broad jump. KU's Ernie Shelby and Al Oerter were the meet's two double winners. Shelby was the only performer to set two meet records. He won the broad jump with a leap of 24-feet $6 \frac{3}{4}$-inches and set a new meet record in the 220-yard low hurdles with a :23.7 timing. Shelby picked up a total of 11 points by taking third in the 100-yard dash. He, however, had to yield point honors to Oklahoma State's Orlando Hazley. Hazley won first in the 100 and 220 yard dashes and was on the Aggies' winning Oerter took first place in the discus and shot put, but his throws were far below his record marks. He tossed the discus 177- feet $ 8^{3} \mathrm{~i}-$ inches, which was far below his record throw of 202- feet 6-inches. He threw the shot 54-feet $ 5^{1} / 4$-inches. 440- yard relay team, scoring 114 points. KU's Charlie Tidwell was edged by Hazley in the 100-yard dash, in a .09.6 clocking, then lost by a larger margin to the Oklahoman who took the 220-yard dash in .21.2. Tom Skutka both lowered their mile time in that event. McNeal, who was running to warm up for the two-mile run, beat out teammate Skutka by inches. Skutka's 4:12.0 time was three-tenths of a second better than his previous best. A bad pass kept KU from defeating Oklahoma State in the 440-yard relay. Shelby was barely moving when he took the baton from Bob Lida but rapidly gained on the Aggie anchor man and almost caught him at the tape. Improved Buff Will Challenge At Relays A few days before Minnesota's Bud Edelen was running 9:05.4 for fifth in the fastest NCAA 2-Mile field of all-time last June, an unknown Colorado freshman was clocking 10:06.8 for 15th in the Big Eight yearling postal derby. Fantastic as it sounds, that same Coloradoan will hurl a firm challenge at the Gopher veteran here this weekend when the two meet over their favorite distance in a new Kansas Relays event. The lad's name is Bernie Frakes, a sophomore who ripped out of obscurity six weeks ago when he dethroned Kansas' Jerry McNeal in the Big Eight Indoor Games. Frakes finished 23rd in this race, after picking off sixth in the conference mill. That was the beginning of the surge that now has carried him steadily downward on the ston-watch. Frakes ran 9:15.3 that night on the cramped 24-lap layout in Kansas City's Municipal Auditorium. He twice repulsed McNeal bids in the final 440, outlasting him to the tape to clock the third-swiftest time ever recorded on that track. "Even Potts has been surprised though, the way Frakes is running. He confessed he never got a bigger surprise than when Bernie beat McNeal for the Indoor championship." Casotti said. McNeal, it should be noted, is a 4-time conference champion and owns more sub-9:20 clockings than any 2-miler in league history save Herb Semper. He ran as low as 9:01.7 to finish third in the NCAA and was as high as seventh in the NCAA cross-country derby last November. Running in a terrific field at the Texas Relays, Frakes further reduced his career best with a 9:14.7, finishing behind such notables as Stanford's Maury Graves, Jerry Smartt of Houston and Bob House, California's 1957 NCAA runner-up, now running for Brooke Medical center. NCAA When has a sophomore 2-miler paired almost a full minute off his time in less than a year and what is the reason? "Mostly is was just an adjustment in his running style," explains Buffalo Publicist Fred Casotti. "He was trying to stay up on his toes all the way like a spinner. Coach Frank Potts worked with him all last year and now he's breaking our varsity record just about every time out."
