10-A JOPLIN GLOBE, SUNDAY, MAY 19, 1946. Cubs Trample Giants by Score of 19 to 3 as Bruins Take Over Third Place Manager Ray Baker of the Muskogee Reds, (who have connections with the Detroit Tigers) is a very outspoken ball player. Anybody saw him make more than eight trips to home plate Wednesday night knows that. And anybody who ever saw Baker tee off at home plate knows he is somewhat better than average when it comes to playing baseball. And Ray is going to come up with an outfielder and an infielder (close your ears, please) in a week or so which will make his club one ot the best in the business.

For Baker not only plays a fine FIVE N. Y. HURLERS FOUND FOR 18 HITS Bill Volselle Way After Yielding Four Hits and Runs in First Inning. City-Wide Boys' and Girls 1 Tennis Tournament Starts Here This Month BIG SIX PUTS NEGRO AGREEMENT ON PAPER Lovelock Back Again To Hcad Thursday Night's Mat Card New York, May their fiercest barrage of the season, the Chicago Cubs unmercifully pummelled five New York flingers for 18 hits to bury the Giants under a 19-3 score in today's opener of a scheduled doubleheader. Rain came to rescue of the Giants, forcing the postponement of the second game.

Bill Voiselle was the first New York chucker to feel the power, giving way to Bob Joyce in the first- inning after facing seven men and giving up four hits and as many runs in the Cubs' six- run frame. Joyce followed Voiselle A A A game, but, as the saying goes, he to the showers ln the second frame talks one. Hes got a fellow com- to be succeeded by Mike Budnick, Ing up who used to play for the' Miners and who still holds the organized baseball total bases in a ball game. He also has a shortstop headed his way he believes is a world beater. Ray doesn't like Topeka.

He says they lack pitching talent and have no power at bat: He thinks Dick Mitchell, Joplin righthander, the class of the league so far as pitch- Ing' goes. He does not like anything else around Miners park except Manager Jim Acton. "Jim," says Ray, "beat us last night" (that was a 3-2 contest) "and anybody I wanted to see win was Jim." And tht was sweet of him. we will take a close look at Muskogee skipper. is a Virginian by birth who never liked the Ozarks.

He Just naturally didn't like our setup. But he got through high school at Harrisburg, where he In the school offered, including football quarterback, forward in basketball, shortstop in baseball and --you guesse'd it--the lOKyard dash. He tried a year or eo of pro basketball, and will call anybody on his skimming the 100-yard dash in 10 seconds flat. 'He terms Al Lawrence, who has playing with two cracked'ribs and a pulled leg muscle after running Into Fort Smith's fence, the bYst hitter in the league. And he calls Gene Ritzenthaler, his catch- best catcher in this league far" Ray says, also, he find Muskogee will have the best pitching staff in the league what With Bob Fritz, Maury Ayala, Don IfeArmond, Nubby Wafer and Eulis Rosson He also thinks highly of Gary Grisham, another righthander, and Gene Manzer, a lefthander.

"laid, regardless of what a man like Fido Murphy (who says a piece now and then), ana Baker, who comes in from center a half-dozen times in one ball game tp.tell off the umpires, it is nice to have a baseball player sit right next to you on a busy day and give fiis opinions. 'Before we forget, Ray says Bob Balk, Muskogee's third baseman (scouted by Joe Becker and signal by the Detroit Tigers) has the liest infield arm in the league. i Ray never liked the Ozarks at least he thought he did not But Baker married Helen Bemice Westbrook of Fort Smith, in 1938--and the then Miss Westbrook Was runner-up in the Ozark Smile "Girl contest that year. SPRINGFIELD AT JOPLIN FOR LEGION GO SATURDAY Jack Kraus and rookie Jack Carden in that order. Lefty Johnny Schmitz registered his second victory over the Giants by holding the Ottmen to five hits.

Louis. M'COSKY EXCHANGED BY TIGERS FOR HELL Former Heavy Hitting Bengal Outfielder Goes to Athletics tn Trade for Third Baseman. Detroit, May UP)-- General Manager George Trautman of the Detroit Tigers announced today that Outfielder Barney McCosky of Detroit has been traded to the Philadelphia Athletics for Third Baseman George C. Kell. The announcement of the trade came as a surprise.

Kell, 23-year-old Arkansas-born infielder, played one game with the Athletics in 1943 and became a regular the following season. His best batting average was .272 in 1945. McCosky, 28, caine to Detroit from the Texas League in 1939 and was a regular outfielder with the Tigers until he joined the navy in 1943. He batted over .300 with Detroit for three of his four pre-war years, piling up a .340 mark in 1940. McCosky, hampered in spring training by a leg injury, has not completely recovered and his batting average to date this season has been a lowly .196.

Although Detroit has Pinky Higgins and Jimmy Outlaw as third basemen at present. Kell is expected to strengthen the hot correr. which has been a weak spot in tne Tiger lineup. STANDINGS OF THE TEAMS. Western W.

The new written rule, adopted by the law-making faculty representatives committee, leaves the matter of competition of Negroes up to the individual institutions to be determined in accordance with state laws. While members of the committee declined to comment on the rule, one well informed person, who asked that his name not be used, said that the written rule is simply "the gentlemen's agreement in writing," and would continue to prevent the participation of Negroes in athletics the conference. He said, however, that the rule could be interpreted to allow Negroes to play at conference schools that could use them in accordance with their state laws and where the schools do not have an agreement with each other against the. use of Negroes. Delay Naming Secretary.

The student councils of the Universities of Kansas and Nebraska and Iowa State and Kansas State colleges had passed resolutions asking their schools to permit Negroes to participate in athletics. Dean Sam Sbirky of Missouri said athletic directors recommended the appointment of a full time conference secretary with duties similar to commissioners in other loops. However, action was postponed. The faculty men voted to limit basketball schedules to 18 games plus tournament, holiday and N. C.

A. A. play. Twenty-four games were set as the total limit. They also approved training tables for basketball players, with schools serving one meal a day, provided total expense did not exceed $600, and provided that in case of a conference basketball tie the N.

C. A. A. representative should be determined in a game on a neutral court. Big Six schools will be permitted to schedule 10 football games each season, under a rule adopted today.

Before the war they were permitted nine games. The faculty men also voted to. allow underclassmen to play in the 1947 east-west Shrine football game. Karol Krauser, 195-pound Polish of grappler, and Al Lovelock of Denver, a 197-pounder, who last week clashed in a bloody mele at Memorial hall wound up in a draw, and Matchmaker Karl Applegate The women of Celebes renew their attire twice annually. has signed them for a return engagement Thursday night Head gashes left both participants bloody after last week's engagement.

Referee Jack League, who was scuffed up in the turmoil, finally separated the wrestlers and called it a draw after the grapplers mixed in one of the bloodiest bouts seen here in years. KANSAS BEATS NEBRASKA TO TAKE TEmS TITLES Lincoln, May University of Kansas Jayhawks completed their tennis schedule with a 5 to 1 victory over Nebraska's Cornhuskers today giving them a clean sweep of the Big Six team doubles and singles championships.

The -game scheduled at Ewert park in Joplin but was changed to Webb City because of the condition of the Ewert diamond. A Junior American Legion baseball game will be played at Hatten field at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon with the Baxter Springs Whiz Kids.

The two heavyweights started their match with one of the best exhibitions seen at Memorial hall, but things roughened up in no time, and the two finally started hitting with clenched fists. The Krauser-Lovelock (he refereed the match here two weeks ago) will go for the best two falls out of three to a finish. Applegate said he planned two preliminary scraps, but so far has not named the contestants. The semi-windup is planned for the best two falls out of three to a finish, to be preceded by a 30-minute one-fall curtain raiser. HAMPDEN WALTZES HOME WINNER IN WITHERS MILE New York, May three-year-old varsity--Assault and Lord Boswell--stayed home out of the rain today, so it was practically no trick at all for Hampden to waltz to the wire in the ancient Withers mile at Belmont.
