Miller, Sweep Both Saturday
Four home runs and strong pitching by left-hander Larry Miller gave the Kansas Jayhawkers a double-header victory over Iowa State, 13-4 and 8-3, in Big Eight competition here Saturday.
Catcher Barry Robertson hit three of the home runs and first baseman Jim Trombold added the other one. Robertson hit two in the second game.
Miller started the first game and struck out the first eight batters to face him. He relieved Gary Russell in the fifth inning of the second game with KU holding only a 2-1 lead, and allowed only two hits for the rest of the game.
The Jayhawkers cinched the first victory by scoring 10 runs in the fourth inning on Donaldson's lead-off single, six walks and four Cyclone errors.
Coach Floyd Temple changed the lineup slightly from that which lost the opening game of the series 5-3 to the Cyclones Friday. Ron Wiley was the losing pitcher. Robertson was moved from third base to catcher, the position which he regularly played last season, and this year's starting catcher, Carl Lauterjung, was moved to right field. Temple said Donaldson would probably play third base when Ron Wiley was pitching.
"We are beginning to work better, and our left handed hitting is coming through," Temple said. "The fielding was good in both the games."
The Jayhawkers now have an over-all record of four wins, two losses and one tie. In Big Eight competition they have two victories and one loss.
The team will play a single game with Missouri at Columbia Friday and a double-header with the Tigers Saturday. Wiley, Miller and Gary Russell will be the starting pitchers for these games.
In other Big Eight games over the weekend, Oklahoma State swept a 3-game series with Kansas State, 5-4, 3-1 and 5-0. Nebraska defeated Missouri 6-3 Friday, but Missouri took the double-header Saturday, 9-6 and 12-5. Oklahoma defeated Colorado 2-1 Friday, and split the double-header Saturday, losing the first game 1-0 and winning the second 12-0.
Temple thinks that with good pitching the Jayhawkers can finish high in the standings of the Big Eight. A lot more will be evident after the games with Missouri this weekend. He believes that if Kansas can win two out of the three games, it will be in a fairly good position.

WASHINGTON —(UP)— The President of the United States went out to the ball game today to inaugurate the 1958 big league season and try to snap out of a personal pitching slump.
Eisenhower Trying To Snap Slump
Dwight D. Eisenhower, a righthander, did the honors by throwing out the ceremonial first ball a few minutes before the Washington Senators and Boston Red Sox started to play for keeps.
Washington has won only two openers under the Eisenhower pitching administration. The President is, in fact, in the midst of a losing streak—he "lost" the last two season openers.
The Charleston Senators eked out a 15-inning, 1-0 victory over St. Paul Sunday night to open the American Assn. baseball season and keep intact its record of never having lost a home opener.
Good baseball weather-fair and temperatures in the upper 60's—s the forecast.
Today is the sixth straight honorary pitching appearance for the Chief Executive, a better than average outfielder in his West Point days, but just a so-so pitcher as President.
Senator String Intact
His prospects of breaking the streak today are slim. Washington hasn't beaten Boston in an opening game since 1932 when another Republican President, Herbert Hoover threw out the first ball.
Whatever the outcome, this is the big moment of the season for Washington which hasn't had a pennant winner in a quarter-century and sees little promise in its baseball future. Though it continues to make good the old joke about "first in war, first in peace and last in the American League," Washington—for today at least—proudly laid claim to being the capital of baseball.

The Eisenhower pitching stint—a single toss from the presidential box between home plate and first base—perpetuated a precedent set in 1910 by President William Howard Taft. Every president since then has made at least three appearances as an opening day "pitcher."
