The 24-year-old right-handed pitcher was option- ed to Boston's farm club at Seattle in the Pacific Coast League. Stallard, a 6-5, 200-pounder, ap- peared in 43 games with the Red Sox last season. He pitched 75 in- nings in 34 games before he won or lost, finally dropping a 1-0 game to Kansas City Aug. 6. At the end of the season his record was 2-7, including the 1-0 defeat by the New York Yankees on Maris' 61st homer, Oct. 1. Manager Mike Higgins has used Stallard only once in the 1962 sea- son. That was a one-inning relief job. the 25-player limit yesterday by optioning relief pitcher Tex Clev- enger to Richmond of the Interna- tional League on 24-hour recall. Clevenger, a 29-year-old right- hander, had seen no service' for the Yanks this season. Major League Standings The weather was a bit cool at Michigan's varsity tennis- courts yesterday afternoon but the Wol- verine netmen weren't. The defending Big Ten champs slammed their way to a decisive 7-2 win over Michigan State while picking up their third conference victory in six days and tacking on another digit to an undefeated spring. The Wolverines are now unde- feated in six starts. Yesterday's loss left Michigan State with a 9-6 season mark. Michigan's net crew travels to Notre Dame Thursday and then returns to take on Ohio State here on Saturday. No Foothold Coach Bill Murphy's netters did not even allow the Spartans a foothold in the meet, dropping only the bottom brackets in the singles and doubles divisions. Ray Senkowski eased past Mich- igan State captain and number one man Brian Eisner in the in- itial set, 6-1, and then ran by the Spartan in the second, 6-3.

But playing for the long game from the baseline brought the head Spartan racketman no greater suc- cess than it has for the rest of Senkowski's foes this spring-the Wolverine star's timing and power- ful strokes giving him complete control. Fauquier Victor Michigan second man Harry Fauquier ran into a Spartan that didn't play exactly to Fauquier style rules. Squat Dick Colby, Michigan State sophomore, sticks to a controlled, backcourt game, while Fauquier uses his speed for a quick, aggressive match. The Wolverine ace used both - and won, 6-3, 6-2. Senkowski and Fauquier teamed up in the first doubles to meet Eisner and Jack Damson, the Michigan duo squeaking out a 6-1, 5-7, 6-4 win. After dropping the second set the Wolverines stepped out in front in the third, 3-0. But the Michi- gan Staters weren't out of it yet. Two quick Spartan wins, then a pair of Michigan games, followed by two more MSU victories set the score at 5-4, with Senkowski serving. "Senkowski serving" tells the story.

He's worn them once-at the third game the Michigan baseball team played with Arizona State this spring. On that day, he struck out three times and fouled out once, and what's more, his feet bothered him. Oldies But Goodies So ever since then, he's been wearing his old pair, and with phenomenal results. He currently leads the team with a .344 batting average, and 21 runs batted in. However, Honig doesn't credit his footwear with being the prime reason for his success. "I've chang- ed my stance," he said, "and now the hits are Just dropping in there." His new stance has ap- parently made the difference, for he has raised his average 149 points from last year's .195.

They re- turned from Arizona with a rather subpar .245 mark, but their lusty hitting of late, notably the 34 runs they pounded across in the Michigan State series, has upped the percentage to .278, And this is 17 points higher than last year's average, which included Bill Free- han's .44 6. Trailing Honig in the Michigan batting derby is Dennis Spalla, with .338. Spalla also leads the team in doubles with six, and is fourth in RBI with 16. Two other Wolverines also boast averages in the .300 range, Harvey Chap- man with a .302, and Ron Tate with an even .300., Tied Up Tate is tied for second with teammate Joe Merullo in the RBI race with 19. Merullo, despite his .221 mark, is one of Coach Don Lund's most dangerous hitters in the clutch. He leads the team in home runs with four, and every one has come in a decisive situa- tion. In addition to all of this, that man Honig is mildly threatening the Big Ten triple record. His trio of three-base knocks leaves him two shy of the mark, and he still has half a season to better it. Balanced Not too surprisingly, the bat- MOTH ERt DAY CARDS FOL SUNDAY, MAY 13 When you care enough to send the very best McCOY'S CARD & PHOTO ' 723 N. University ting accomplishments of his stal- warts have left Coach Lund ex- tremely pleased. In planning the season's strategy, he pictured pitching and defense as the Wol- verines' strong points. While ac- complishing these two in fine fashion, Lund has also emerged with one of the conference's best balanced hitting squads. Witness to this is that there are no less than seven men on the team with 13 or more RBI. 'That's the best part of our hit- ting," remarked Lund at a practice session yesterday. "We get it when we need it. For example, when we get a man on third With one out, and the man sent up to hit a long fly strikes out, time and again the following has knocked a hit to drive in the run after all." Assume Duties Whereas last year there was one big man to drive in a good deal of the runs, this year the scoring duties have been assumed by everyone. "It seems that each man has been trying to pick up where Freehan left off," observed Lund. "Another example of our timely hitting came in the MSU series," he said. "On Friday, when our pitching slipped a bit and gave up 13 runs, the boys were more than equal' to the job. Then, on Saturday, when the pitchers turn- ed in two fine performances, the hitters could relax a little." High Riding The team total of 141 RBI makes for an average of over six per game. When this statistic is coupled with the 4.20 staff ERA, it is not too difficult to see why the Wolverine baseballers are rid- ing high atop the Big Ten.' The team is idle this week until Friday, when Indiana will visit Ferry Field for a single bout. Then on Saturday, Ohio State comes into twon for one of the season's most crucial twin bills. By PETE DiLORENZI The 1959 White Sox, many base- ball experts believe, won the Amer- ican League pennant by a fluke. Their hitting was poor, their power practically nonexistent, and their defense and pitching strong. However, it is doubtful that they would have finished as high as they did had it not been for the speed on the base paths which gave rebirth to the old epithet "the Go-Go Sox." Michigan baseball Coach Don Lund does not face the extreme offensive poverty of the '59 Sox with his '62 Wolverines, but none- theless, he has added the Go-Go ingredient to the team's offensive fuel and has come up with some pleasant results. Go, Go Blue Lund has decided to make more use of the "hit and run" type of- fensive this year for two reasons. Ass he explained, "We feel that we have more speed on our club this season than we did last, and we also realize that we lack some of the extra-base power that charac- terized last year's team.

And he has taken advantage of them. Going into this weekend's big home stand against Indiana and Ohio State, second baseman Joe Jones has stolen 14 bases, one more than Michigan's opponents, have stolen against them all year. Following Jones are Dave Camp- bell, the first baseman, with five; outfielders Jim Steckley and Dave Post, and third baseman Jim New- man withafour; and outfielder 'Dennis Spalla and Joe Merullo, three each. Others have less than three. Stop, Thief Base stealing is far more involv- ed than running from first to sec- ond without getting tagged in be- tween. A base runner must study the pitcher, decide what type pitcher he is, determine whether it is advisable to attempt to steal on him, and know when and how to go about it. Steckley gave an explanation what a base runner must per- ceivez "When I see that the steal is on when I'm on base, I imme- diately study the pitcher. If he is a righthander, I take a walking lead away from the bag, far enough so that I can get back safely in case he makes a move. If he is a lefty, I do the same thing, only I shorten my lead. Lefties have the advantage of look- ing at first and some of them, like our own Fritz Fisher, have ex- tremely fast moves to first. 'One Looker' "I also look to see if he is what we call a 'one looker,' that is, a pitcher who looks once at first and then pitches without ever looking back. if he is a 'one looker,' I break as soon as he takes his eyes off me. If he isn't I have to wait until I think it is safe to go," he continued. Newman added that he watches the pitcher's shoulders. After the jump from the base and the speed, the next thing is the slide. According to Lund, the team is taught to go straight in with what is called a "pop-up" slide (one leg bent under the oth- er). "In modern baseball, we dis- courage fancy hook slides and fall- away slides unless the runner is clearly beaten," he said. The catcher is also important, although not to the extent of the pitcher. Steckley explained that the team watches the catcher in infield practice to see if he is either scatter or rifle-armed, but makes it clear that it is the pitch- er who is of prime importance. "Bases are most frequently stolen off the pitcher; not the catcher," he added. 4 PITCHING , G W L IP SO 7 2 0 18 7 .7 5 '0 44 20 7 2 4 52 56 8 6 1 48 34 4 0 2 18 4 3 0.1 2.2 23 15 8 120 124 BB ERA- 10 1.50- 17 2.25 37 3.63 28 3.56 13 6.27 8 8.22 13 57.86 126 4.20 F WIN: 1st PRIZE-Sylvania 19" Portable TV 2nd PRIZE-Emerson Hi-Fi Tape Recorder 3rd PRIZE-Zenith, Royal 500 Transistor Radio 1-l stuent of th nvriyo i gnaeeiilopriiae oan J -I 1-=All students of the University of Michigan are eligible to participate. 2-The individual student turning in the most empty Pall Mall; Lucky Strike and/or Dual Filter Tarreyton packages will be awarded the Sylvania 19" portable TV; student turning in the second largest number of packages will be awarded the Emerson Hi-Fi tape recorder; student turning in the third largest number of packages will also be awarded a Zenith, Royal 500 transistor radio. 3-Only Pall Mall, Lucky Strike and Dual Filter Tareyton may be used.
