Sports and Re-Ports
Baseball fans in this area who
remember the pitching of Bobby
Shantz when he labored with the
Lincoln Athletics, were well
pleased with his performance in
Tuesday's Ail-Star game. In the
one inning he was on the mound,
Bob struck out Whitey Lockman,
Jackie Robinson, and Stan Mu
sial. Little wonder that Mr. Shantz
has a season's record of 14 wins
and 2 losses.
Joe Gifford, ace Nebraska golfer,
just missed qualifing for the
NCAA golf tourney in Lafayette,
Indiana. Joe was just two strokes
over the limit to qualify for
championship play.
The University will have a new
swim coach for one year at least.
Warren Emery, graduate of the
University and a former member
of the Nebraska swim team, will
take over the duties of Hollie
Lepley this fall -vhile Hollie is at
Indiana University working on
his doctorate. Emery has been
swim coach at Lincoln High the
past school year.
THE LWEUP
sBy CHARLES K LASER
There is an old baseball adage that says "Any team that is
in first place in the major league races on July 4th, will retain
that lead and win the pennant."
However in reviewing the league standings as of Monday,
July 7, we can't go along with the adage even though it has
held true in many cases during the past. Consequently we'd
like to predict the outcome of the American and National
League pennant races as we believe they will end this Sep
tember. As far as the National League is concerned, the old adage
will probably hold true with Brooklyn holding on to their four
and a half game lead all the way to the wire. Although the
Giants might possibly come up with another tremendous stretch
drive, they are only good enough for a runner-up spot this year
The Philadelphia Phillies should wake up enough to climb
to the third place spot, but will be far behind the leaders.
The St. Louis Cardinals will give the Phils a battle but will
land in the fourth place position. The Chicago Cubs should
drop to fifth during the scuffle.
Cincinnati, Boston, and Pittsburgh will stage an all-oul
battle for the cellar spot, but the Pirates should win easily with
the Reds in the next-to-last position and the Braves sixth.
Over in the American League the race Is much, much
tighter. Here we believe the old adage will not hold true.
Once the dormant pitching power of the Cleveland Indians
comes to life, the Tribe will be a shoo-in for the pennant.
Their main competition will come from the steady Chicago
White Sox, who should land In the runner-up spot. The
Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees v-ill have a tight
battle for the third place berth, but the "lianks hitting will
'give them the edge.
The second division positions will involve another tight race
among the Washington Senators, Philadelphia Athletics, St. Louis
Browns, and Detroit Tigers. A late season upsurge will carry
the Browns into fifth place just a game or two above the early
season wonders, the Washington Senators.
Philadelphia will lose what steam It had and drop to seventh
place. Even a change in managers won't help the Detroit Tigers.
Fred Hutchinson will find it takes both pitching and hitting to
lift his team from the cellar.

Football mixed with baseball
for a fleeting mid-summer mo
ment Wednesday, when Coach
Bill Glassford of the University
of Nebraska helped celebrate
"Nagle Night" at Sherman Field.
The Cornhusker grid-master
joined Lincoln Civic Baseball of
ficials and Fighting Fans in send
ing Business Manager Fran Nagle
of the Lincoln Athletics off to the
pro-football wars in the Canadian
League.
.Wednesday evening, during the
Lincoln-Des Moines contest, Nagle
oinciauy turned over the reinr; to
Tom Clark, his successor.
Nagle also turned over to Clark
a vastly improved Lincoln Ath
letic baseball team which in the
early part of the season was un
able to win a ball game for a week
at a time. Now the squad is play
ing .500 ball under its manager,
Les Bell. In fact, the team just
won its first double header of the
season a few nights ago over the
same Des Moines Bruins.
Nagle literally performed won
ders lor the University at quar
terback during the 1950 and 1851
football seasons. He was sought
in j. . pro ranKs, but decided to
settle down to a business career
in Lincoln.
The Canadian li
was too great and he returned to
his first love, football.
