The Milwaukee Brewers had only a wobbly hold on the American Association lead today after being dealt an unexpected body blow by the Kansas City Blues. The Blues came out of their second division corner yesterday to whip the Brewers 9-5 and end the leaders' winning streak at eight.

Scoring In six of the eight Innings they batted, the Blues found it easy to snap the longest win streak seen in the Association so far this season. The Louisville Colonels moved within easy hailing distance of Milwaukee by taking both ends of a double-header from Indianapolis. The Colonels 10-1 and 8-2 victories over the Indians also broke up the tight deadlock between the two clubs for second place. In the day's only other twin-bill, Toledo downed Cplumbus, 6-3 and 4-2. Second baseman Forrest Jacobs came through with the chips down to bring jgt.

Paul 7-8 triumph over With two down in the last half of the ninth, Jacobs cut loose with a single to bring home the Saints' winning run. MILWAUKEE, Wis, April 28-(TP) National Basketball association executives pouted today that two industrial team were luring away such top college stars as Kansas center Clyde Lovellette. The professional basketball owners completed their first draft of college players during: their week-end meeting here and surprised the sports' world by asking two amateur industrial teams, the Phillips Oilers and the Peoria Caterpillars, to join the professional league. The NBA said that the teams are able to snare some of the best in college basketball talent by offering the stars good Jobs with the Industries that sponsor the teams. Lovellette was named as a draft choice by NBA champion, the Minneapolis Lakers, but has already announced that he will play with the Oilers.

And Chuck Darling, fast-scoring Iowa center, has also professed a desire to play with the Oilers. Rochester extended a draft offer to Darling. The NBA issued the formal invitations to Join their pro. league to the two teams There has been no reply. Doxle Moore, coach of the Milwaukee Hawks, revealed during the meeting that the lanky Lovellette had rejected a three year! $60,000 contract offered by the Hawks.

Louis Browns and Chicago White Sox won't know how they stand with each other until July 8 because of two suspended games, and fans in the east were beginning to wonder if the season ever got started. Five continuous days of rain i have produced 11 postponed games in the National and 10 in the American, most of them in the East I But in spite of all thai enforced idleness, there will be more of it today. Most clubs were Idle again as the teams headed for their first big East-West tests. In Washington, where there have been five rain-outs in a row, the Yankees and Senators will try to make up one game, while at St. Louis, the Cubs Cardinals will play a night "game.

I Other Wash-Outat In addition to those five Washington wash-outs since last Wednesday, there have been five straight games rained out in Philadelphia, three in New York, three in Boston, two in Chicago1 and one each in St. Louis, Pittsburgh, and Cincinnati. I There was plenty of excitement, though, wherever baseball was played yesterday. At Cincinnati, the astonishing Reds trimmed the Pirates, 8 to 2 and 1 to 0," to take over second place again, just half a game behind the Dodgers. But Cleveland, which started out by winning its first seven games, encountered further trouble in Detroit where lefty Ted Gray! handed them a 1 to 0 shtitout, their second white-wash defeat in- a row, their fourth loss in the last five games and their third white-wash in four games.

Moreover, in those four i games they have -been held to Just one hit twice, by Art Hout-teman of the Tigers Saturday, and by Bob Cain of the Browns Wednesday. I Cubs Top I In I other games yesterday, the Cubs topped the Cardinals, 6 to-3, to stay half game behind; Cincinnati in third place in the National league, while at Chicago the White Sax outlasted the Browns 7 to 6 in 14 innings, then had the second game suspended after, five winnings because of darkness whfie they Today 11 Records Tumble at Drake Relays By UNITED PRESS I The annual rivalry between the Drake relays and the Penni relays for top performances turned out to be strictly "no contest" this year, as the Drake athletes shattered a grand total of 11 records and the Penn athletes wallowed in a mud-bath. A check today showed that, in nine1 running events which can be compared, better times were posted in the sun-baked Drake games at Des Moines, I in all nine. But, weather or no, there was no detracting from the brilliance of the Des Moines meet brilliance which augured well for A-merlcan chances in the forthcoming Olympic games. And the brightest star of all was a Kansas (J.

sophomore named Wes San tee, who emerged as this nation's new hope for the Olympic metric mile. Outstanding Santee, voted the outstanding runner fo the Drake games, ran two amazing miles on the anchor leg of relays. He was clocked between 4:06.7 and 4:08.9 (relay individual times are uncertain to fractions because of the baton exchange) on Friday as the Kansas four-mile team clocked at 17:15.9 for a new American record. On Saturday, he was caught unofficially in 4:08.8 as he anchored a Kansas distance medley team to a new meet record of 10:01.8. It took an astounding performance like -that to win top Drake honors from the likes of Henry Cryer, who raced a half-mile in 1:50.3 to anchor an Illinois V.

team to a new two-mile relay American record, and Bob Devln-ney: of Kansas, who set new American record of 52.4 seconds in the 440-yard hurdles and! anchored Kansas to a new meet record in the 1-mile relay. i Kansas, of course, did the major share of record-breaking at Drake with four new marks, while North Texas State and AbUene Christian had two each, Illinois and Howard Payne one, and mller Dewey Johnson of Drake a new; mark of 4:14.5 in the Individual mile. Only one record was eclipsed In SPORTRAIT Bob Baker took the second ellm race ahead of Dave DeSpaln and Fred Wilbur who finished behind Baker, in that order.

South-port Is running in the third place spot behind the Bull Dogs, but the Cards have been whipped a couple of times thus! far in baseball, and are reportedly weak In the cinder sport. Should the locals manage a second or third place position in either sport they stand a good chance of winding up with the 1951-51 award. Thus far, there Hanover Thinlies Wirt John Howe, without doubt one of the finest' and most consistent runners on the local track squad and In the state, was responsible for one of the records and sided in establishing the other.

iHowe ran the 440-yard dash in to establish one of the new records, and ran the first leg on the record-breaking half mile relay team.

Howe also won the 220-yard dash before warming up for the relay event Ed Yeley, Howe's cohort and an outstanding runner In his own right jumped the gun in the qualification heat for the 100 yard dash and was disqualified from running the event Yeley refused to push hltnself on Coach Gerald Quil-leon's Instructions in the broad jump and wound up with a third place position. Yeley has bettered the winning effort of 19 feet 8tt inches by almost two feet in other: meets. The pit was reportedly as bard as a "brick bat" and the local leapster refused to take' a chance that could have proved disastrous when the relay events rolled around.

Dick Drake was the only other Bull Dog runner to return from Delphi a double winner. Drake, who is improving in every meet, took both the high and low hurdle events, to add to his squad's team total.
