Jr, I NEW YORK, May 26 0P Brooklyn fans' startled reaction to the discovery that you don't have to be a bum to be a Dodger merely emphasizes the fact that Eddie Basinski is just one of a long line of college ball players who have made good in the big leagues . . . Eddie is the be spectacled youngster who came from Buffalo university to soothe that second base sore spot in the Dodger infield . . . For the benefit of those who are sur prised to find a mere collegian filaying good baseball, here's a ineup of Major league siars who had the benefits of at least some higher education. . - TWO DEEP On second thought, make it two teams: first base, Lou Geh rig, Columbia, or Jake Stahl, Illinois; second, Eddie. Collins, Columbia, or Frank Frisch, Ford ham; third, Jimmy Collins, Can lsius, or Joe Dugan, Holy Cross; short, Joe Sewell, Alabama, or Jack Collins, Holy Cross; out field, George Sisler, Michigan; Harry Hooper, St. Mary's; Earl Combs, Kentucky State Teach ers; Birdie Cree, Penn State; Riggs Stephenson, Alabama; Louis Sookalexis. Holy Cross and Notre Dame; catcher, Mick ey Cochrane, Boston U., or Bill Carrigan, Holy Cross; pitchers, Christy Mathewson, Bucknell; Jack Coombs, Colby; Ed Reul bach, Notre Dame and Vermont; Ted' Lyons, Baylor; Chief Bend er Carlisle; Eddie Plank, Gettys burg, Addie Jos, Wisconsin, and Orrie Overall, California. A ROOKIE A DAY Eddie Sauer, Cubs' outfielder: kid brother of Hank, who played quite some baseball for the Reds . Eddie went from Elon college Into pro ball in 1940 and hit three homers for Akron in an exhibition against the Yankees ... Hit .368 for Nashville last season to lead southern associa tion in batting, runs scored, total bases, doubles and steals . . . Hits a hard ball to left field but isn't too good defensively, which explains why Ivai Goodman has been getting the call lately . . . Too bad a sweet hitter has to be a Sauer fielder. - - Seals Gain 0n Beavers; Stars Win t Bv The Associated Press" r The San Francisco Seals gained on the leading Portland Beavers of the Coast league last night, defeating Seattle 7 to 4, while - Hollywood won over Portland, 5 to 1.

Swim King Sees Peak In 2 Years By FRED STABLEY BAINBRIDGE, Md., May 26 VP) Holder of 40 world's swim ming records and undisputed I king of the backstroke. Ensign Adolph Kiefer believes he won't reach his athletic peak for an other two or three years and that he will be capable of top flight competition for at least five years more. The Chicagoan, who holds every world's backstroke record between 50 yards and one mile said today that "if a man stays in shape, there is no reason why he shouldn't be good until he's 30 years old." In last night's invitation swim ming meet at the Bainbridge na val training station, where he is a physical education instructor, he bettered unofficially his own mark for the 100-yard back stroke as he swam the first two thirds of the 150-yard back stroke in :56.1, seven-tenths -of a second under his recognized world's record. Only one watch was held on him for the first 100 yards, so the mark cannot be certified. "I surprised myself," Kieffer said after winning the event in 1:30.8. just four-tenths of a sec ond off his record. Flashes of Life BASEBALL SCORES Classified Ads Bring Results.
