Major League Picture So Far I ( ■ Badly Confused New York, April 28 — (UP) The piajor leagues were full of wonderful confusion today.! Nothing made much anywhere. -. ; - The Cincinnati Reds, instead of the Cleveland iwere stirring Lkfngs up in Ohio. The St. bouigßrowns and Chicago White Sox - won't know how they stand with - each other until July 3 because of two suspended games, and fans in were beginning to wonder, if khe season ever got started. Five continuous days of rain have produced il postponed games in the National and 10 in the most of them in the east.:, ' . But in spite of al! that enforced idleness, there will be more of it Most were idle again as thp teams headed for their first) big, dtist-west tests, in Washington, Hhere there have beqrr five rain-duts in a row. the Yankees and Senators will try to make up one game) While at St. Louis, the Cubs and /.Cardinals will play a night-game. In addition to those five Washington wasli?QUts l sinpe last Wednesday, therg have been five straight games! rained out in Philadelphia. thrqe in New-York! three in Boston, two in Chicago and one each in St. Louis, Pittsburgh, and inati. There was plenty,Of excitement, though, whatever 1 baseball was playfed yesterday. At | Cincinnati, the astonishing Redis (trimmed the Pirates. 8 to 2 and 1 to 0. to take, over second place again, just naif a game behind the Dodgers. Rut Cleveland, -which started out by winning its; first seveji games, encountered further trouble in Detroit where! lefty Ted Gray handed them a* 1 to f) shutout, their , second white-wash defeat in a row. their fourth loss in the last five games and their third whitewash in. four games.

Drake Relays Set Eleven New Marks By the United Press The annual rivalry between the Drakp Relays and the Penn Relays for top performances turned out to be strictly “no this years, as the Drake'iathletes shattered a grand total/of 1J records anti the Penn athletes wallowed in a mud-bath. / A bheck today showed that, in' running events which can be compared. better times were postedin [the sun-bathed Drake games at;Dqs MoineS, la., in all nine. Byti wedther or no, there was no detracting from the brilliance of the Des Moines meet— a bril-, liance which augured well sor 1 American chances, in the forthcoming Olympic gfames. And the brightest, star of; all was a Kansas U, sophomore named Wes Santee, wtjo “merged as 5 this nation’s hope for the Olympic metric mile. Santee, voted the outstanding runner of the Drake games, ran , twff amazing miles on the anchor legjof 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-tnlle-tegm clocked 17:15.9 for a new American record. On Saturday, pe was caught-unofficially in 4; (18.3 as he anchored a Kansas distance medley team to a new meet record of 10:01.8. It took an astounding performance i like that to win top Drake honors from the Ifkes of Henry Cryer, who raced to a half-mile in 1:50.3 to anchor an Illinois V. team' to a new twn-milb .relay American record, and Bob Devinney o't Kansas, who set a new Aiherican record of 52.4 seconds in the 440-yard hurdles and anchored' Kijisas to a .new meet record in the one mile relay. Kansas, of course, did-the major share of record-breaking at Drake with four new marks, while North Texas State and Abilene Christian had iwo each, Illinois and Howard Pgyne one, and miler Dewey Johnson of Drake a pew mark of 4:14.5 in the individual mile. r Only one record was eclipsed in the Penn games at Philadelphia., and that, of course, was in a field event.

The industry-wide strike arose over 'the unions’ demand for a 25cent an hour pay increase plus some shift differentials.

The 26-member policy committee of the oil workers union laid final strike plans at\ its meeting here yesterday, ( “Wi? can’t' say which plants will lie struck/’ a spokesman said, “but the companies involved will know.
