Probe Slated
At Kentucky
Birmingham, Ala. (U.R) The
athletic situation at the Univer
sity of Kentucky, blasted by a
New Ycrk judge as rife with
"over-emphasis," will be given
a "complete and thorough inves
tigation" by Commissioner Ber
nie Moore of the Southeastern
conference.
Moore received his orders for
the Inquiry Monday from the
conference's executive commit
tee after a five-and-a-half hour
meeting here Sunday.
Investigation Asked
The university had requested
such an investigation, but Moore
said that league heads would
have taken the step uninvited.
"We waited until now until the
court action in New York was
over," said Moore.
The conference commissioner
referred to the proceedings in
New York in which Judge Saul
S. Streit, in giving suspended
sentences to three University of
Kentucky players involved in
the the basketball fixing scan
dal, described athletics at Ken
tucky as "the acme of commer
cialism and over-emphasis."

Acorns Seek
To Overtake
Padre Nine
San Francisco U.R) In this,
the week of the big chance, Oak
land's aspiring Acorns beckon
league-leading San Diego into
their Emeryville den for a seven
tilt meeting. During the series,
the second-place hosts hope to re
place their visitors at the top of
the Pacific Coast league.
But Oakland, always manner
ly, will attempt the succession
graciously.
The Oaks will welcome Padre
manager Frank O'Doul with
open arms and a big "home
coming night Tuesday, when
the series starts. Then, after
Lefty has accepted the plaudits
and smiled prettily for photog
raphers, the mean Oaklanders
will try to knock his block off.
It would have to fall 2Vz
games for the Oaks to get into
first place.
Moderate Week
In preparation, Oakland had
only a moderate week at Sacra
mento. The Oaks and Sacs split
last night, and the visitors took
the series, 4-3. The brightest spot
of the week's work was Sam
Chapman's hitting. He stroked
Sac pitching for 13 for 27.
The Pads, meanwhile, were
less sensational. They split with
Los Angeles Sunday, losing to
Ed Chandler s six-hitter and Jack
Hollis' three singles, 6-0, and
winning, 8-5 in the 1 1th inning,
on Cracker Jack Graham's three
tally homer. Earlier, Graham
rapped a three-tally double.

Aid Senators
Chase Tribe
, By United Press
Bucky Harris can't tell any
more who will be in his start
ing lineup until after he meets
the morning train.
But the little boss of the
Washington Senators was mak
ing a fine bid for manager of
the year honors with players
who have just come over from
other clubs.
The Senators were the Amer
ican League's "best bet" to fin
ish last in the pre-season calcu
lations, but now it looks as if
they not only could stay in the
first division but battle some of
the contenders right to the fin
ish. Never Last
Harris, whose proudest boast
is that "I never finished last in
IS years as a manager in the big
leagues," now has his Nats in
second place and hustling for a
chance to overtake the leading
Cleveland Indians.
The team appears to be much
stronger than at the start of the
season after deals in which he
got outfielders Jackie Jensen
and Archie Wilson, and pitcher
Frank Shea from the Yankees,
outfielder Jim Busby from the
White Sox and pitcher Lou Slea
ter and infielder Fred Marsh
from the Browns.
Sleater was his newest hero.
The left hander had a sorry rec
ord with the Browns, winning
only one game while losing nine
last season. He lost his only
game with them this year, but
Harris still liked h i m and
thought he had a potential as a
winner.
Sleater Comes Through
Harris was willing to give up
a steady veteran infielder like
Cass Michaels to make the deal.
In Sleater's first start Sunday,
he vindicated Bucky's judgment.
Sleater pitched a solid eight-hitter
to top White Sox ace Saul
Rogovin in a duel, 2 to 1.
Chicago rebounded to win the
second game, 6 to 4, breaking
loose with four runs in the first
inning on a pair of two-tally
homers by Al Zarilla and Eddie
Robinson. After Washington tied
the score later, a two-run single
by Ray Coleman gave Chicago
its winning margin.
The split left Washington 2V4
games behind Cleveland which
also divided Its doubleheader,
winning a 6 to 0 decision behind
Mike Garcia's nine-hit pitching
after Bobby Shantz of the A's
took the opener, 2 to 0 with a
three-hitter.
Dodgers Leader
The Browns topped the Yan
kees, 4 to 3, when Clint Court
ney singled with the bases load
ed in the ninth to give them
their third straight triumph in
the final inning. But the
Yankees put on a run spree to
win the second game, 8 to 1.
Boston topped Detroit, 7 to 4,
on the margin of Vernon Ste
phens' three-run homer.
The Dodgers moved half a
game ahead of the idle Giants
in the National by defeating the
Cubs, 7 to 2, on four hits, two
by Preacher Roe, who won his
fourth straight game.
The Cardinals edged Philadel
phia, 4 to 3, as Gerry Staley be
came the first hurler in the ma
jors to win seven games.
The Pittsburgh-New York and
Cincinnati-Boston double head
ers were rained out.
day's 19-inning game, pushed de-
lending champion Seattle around

two-timed Portland, 16-6 and 3-0.
Oaks Beaten
Part-time pitcher Jack Plckart,
a student at St. Marys college,
beat the Oaks 3-1 in the seven-
inning opener. His four hitter
was backed up by doubles by
tddle Bockman and Joe Gordon.
Then unbeaten Hal Gregg work
ed Oakland s victory, and his
eighth, 9-5.
Frank Kalin, newcomer to the
Seal lineup, obtained in a trade
for Red Baumer, hit three dou
bles in the twin bill. The Seals
reached a new seasonal high In
run-making in the opener, while
Bob Thurman's homer and lefty
Al Lien's second shutout pitch
ing resolved the second affair.
Hits Help
Pitchor Paul Pettit brought his
bat along when he went to the
stadium. He rapped out four hits
while his mates compiled a love
ly 16-run margin for him to
work on. In the second tilt, Pin
ky Woods stymied Portland on
a measly three hits.
The Seal Seattle 1 9 innlne
