Iowa State Wins Big Six Meet;
Bungert Breaks Shotput Mark

Bangert set his record of So feet
I7ls inches for the shot on his first
throw in the morning prelminaries,
thereby substituting his name for
that of E. L. Aussieker, also of Mis-
souri,. who set the old record of So
feet 4 inch in 1943.
Missouri gave Iowa State terrific
battle through II events but never
was threat after Dale Dean and
Bill Arlen ran second and third in
the 2-mile to put the Iowans ahead,
471a to As points.
Just before the 2-mile run, Mis-
souri, had taken a A to 4o1a lead
through the first place points of Bob
Heinsohn in the high jump.
Doubles" were frequent, with
Bangert taking the shot and discus,
Crowson the 100 and 220, Dean
Kratz of Nebraska the mile and 800
and Orval Marker of Nebraska the
100 high hurdles and the 220 low
hurdles. A high spot of the meet
was Kratz's thrilling 1-yard victory
in the mile over Clarence Vicklund,
Oklahoma's defending champion.
The double wins of Kratz and
Barker, combined with Don Nor
rison's 2-mile win and Dick Miller's
triumph in the pole vault, gave Ne
braska the most first places at six,
followed by Missouri with five,
achieved on the doubles of Bangert
and Crowson and Heinsohn's win.
For Iowa State, the outdoor VIC
tory gave the Cyclones a clean sweep
for the season, as they had taken
the indoor at Kansas City. Last year
the Iowans did the same thing.

Major league officials said yes
terday the shortage of balls and
bats has become so acute that
1t endangers the future of base
ball. They planned an appeal
to the Government for assist
ance.
Undersecretary of War Patter-
son, the War Production Board
and the War Manpower Commits
sion will be asked to "do what
they can"
This scarcity of playing equip
ment Is being felt by the kids,
cutting right at the very roots
OF the game" some big league
leaders said.
High schools, sandlot and
American Legion coaches and
managers in various parts of the
country have written to the ma
jors for help. They are down to q
few battered leftover balls and
patched up bats.
The bat shortage also is being
reflected in organized baseball,
and may affect play appreciably
by next spring, since about six
months are required properly to
season the wood used In their
manufacture.

Rogers Beats Ti|den,
GoeItz Wins Over
Alice Marble

George Lyttleton Rogers, who is
as long as his name, scored the first
victory Of his tennis career over
Bill Tilden in their exhibition last
night at Uline's.
The lanky Irishman fired a serv-
ice ace to clinch a 6-3 verdict over
the old master in the first set, then,
after dropping the second 6-1, won
three consecutive games to take the
third, 6-3.
Before they took the court Buddy
Goeltz, Columbia Country Club pro,
flashed an excellent brand of tennis
in coming from behind to beat
Alice Marble, Us. Goeltz ripped
of four successive games to win.
Tilden, outspokenly disturbed by
some line decisions, was not at his
best, although he came through
with some of his own patented shots
to the delight of approximately 1000
fans. T1lden took a bad spill in
defeating Rogers at Baltimore Fri
day night and the effects obviously
had not worn off.
Tilden and Miss Marble took the
doubles engagement, q coming from
behind to win, 6-, 6-1, Ga, but
star of the match was Goeltz. He
outfoxed Tilden couple of times
and placed several nice shots
Rogers pulled tendon in the sin
giles and wasn't much help in
doubles.

Rook Saves White Sox
From Bosox Rally in
9Th in 81 Battle
BY the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 10. - Manager
Joe Cronin used four pinch hitters
and two pinch runners in a six
batter ninth inning today, but
Frank Papish, a White Sox rookie
southpaw, upset Boston's chess
board by retiring Pinch Hitters
Lloyd Christopher and Nick Polly
to preserve 3-to-2 victory for
the league leaders.
Papish, lefty who had seen only
one innings previous service this
year, was rushed to the mound after
the Red Sox, who were behind a
run, loaded the bases on Johnny
Humphries with one out. He set
down Lloyd Christopher on three
straight strikes and then got Nick
Polly on foul to the catcher on
the second pitch.
Humphries, veteran Chicago
starter who was making his first
appearance of the season, pitched
five-hit ball the first eight innings,
during which both runs of him
were unearned.
The White Sox punched five hits
of Wilson in the first inning, but
utilized only four of them for their
three runs. This was because Curt
right, who led of with a single,
was nipped stealing. Hockett and
John Dickshot also singled. With
two out, Tony Cuccinello doubled
for one run and then Schalk doubled
| for the other two.
George Woods and Ryba shut out
the White Sox on three hits the
rest of the way.

BALTIMORE, May 19.-Almost

McClanaghan's Hartford came up
from nowhere at Pimlico today to
capture the 5000 Rowe Memorial
