He went into Major League baseball after graduation and in his career saw service with the Brooklyn Dodg- ers, St. Louis Browns and Detroit Tigers. After later servingdas a Ti- ger scout and coach he became Michigan's baseball coach in 1958 and his team won the Big Ten championship in 1961.) By DON LUND As Told to John Scochin When Fritz Fisher completed a three hit performance against Il- linois last year to cinch the Big Ten championship for us, that 'Track Picture Coach Don Canham wants-all Michigan trackmen who have competed in a varsity meet this season to report to Yost Field House at 4:30 p.m. today for the team picture. The team will elect next year's captain at the same meeting. victory was the high point of my -areer as a player and a coach. We had beaten Purdue twice be- fore the Illinois series which would close out our season. We went into Champaign needing one victory in two games to clinch the title. I picked Fritz to start the first game and he came through to win it, striking out 11 men and keeping the Illinois hitters off the bases for most of the afternoon. We came up with three runs late in the game and it was enough to win it. NCAA Champs Dethroned Winning the title was especially rewarding because Minnesota, which won the Big Ten and NCAA championships the year before was favored to repeat. It was a close battle all the way and it took very fine performances in key games .for us to stay out in front. The season's opener was an es- pecially important game. We play- ed Minnesota in an early show- down and won the game 5-3 on Dick Honig's ninth inning homer over the leftfield fence. Against Purdue in another close one, Bill Freehan won it in the eighth with a bases loaded triple. That sweep of a tripleheader against Michigan State at East Lansing also put us a big step ahead in the race for the Conference title. I guess my second biggest mo- ment came as a baseball player. It was in 1947 and the Brooklyn Dodgers and the St. Louis Card- inals were fighting for the Na- tional League pennant. I had al- ready gone home after finishing the American Association season with St. Paul. Branch Rickey called me and told me to join the Dodgers in St. Louis for a crucial three game series against the Cards. I didn't play in the first game, which the Dodgers won, but in the second game Rickey called me off the bench to pinch hit for the pitcher. Pinch Hit Homer Howie Pollett was on the mound for St. Louis. There were two men on fod us. The first pitch was a ball and then he threw a low fast- ball. I got the good wood on it and hit the ball into the seats to put us into the lead. We didn't win the game, however, since Enos Slaughter homered for the Card- inals in the ninth to pull it out. I stayed with the club for the rest of the season and his .300. The Dodgers won the pennant by about four or five games, but since I joined the club a few days after the September 1 deadline I missed my chance to play in a World Series. Mother's Day Present Another game that I remember was when I was with the St. Louis Browns. On September 16 we play- ed the Red Sox. It was my mother's birthday and I collected four hits in four trips, a home run, double and two singles for my best day of the season. In the International League with Buffalo in a game against Ottawa I made a fielding play wihch also stands out in my memory. I was playing rightfield and Bubba Phil- lips, who is now with the Cleve- land Indians, was in left. It was the ninth inning and we were ahead by one run. There was a man on third base with one out and the hitter coming up had gotten six straight hits to left- field. Out at Home ... Since I had a strong arm our manager switched me to left and put Phillips in right. The batter lined one to me in left and I threw to the plate in time to get the runner coming in from third to save the ball game. Whenever you make a play or get a hit to win a game it always has to be listed as a great thrill, and this was one of mine. As a recruiter the signing of, Honig and Freehan was a high point. I heard about Freehan from the rest of the boys who played. on the American Legion cham- pionship Edison Post team in De- troit, many of whom had decided to come to Michigan. He had moved from Royal Oak to Florida but still used to play baseball in Detroit over the sum- mer. On our spring tour he came to watch us play Florida and in- troduced himself. Later he elected to come to Michigan along with his 'old teammates to form the nucleus of our championship club. sgtiel & ._ 16u.h State Street See our Nightly Floor Display 314 S.

But can they tame the Broncos? An NCAA bid is likely if the Blue come through with a weekend sweep over the 15-1 Western Mich- igan Broncos. Otherwise, one can- not be too sure. Western Michigan took the Mid- America Conference title with a 9-0 record and along with it an automatic bid to the NCAA dis- trict playoffs. In today's game, Lund will probably pitch hard-luck South- paw Fritz Fisher (4-5). In to- morrow's double-header at Kala- mazoo, the hurlers should be Dave Roebuck (7-2) and John Kerr (5-0). High BA Bronco mentor Charles Maher has a teary. with a .314,batting av- erage and five regularshitting over .300 as well as a strong mound staff. The outfielders have the loftiest averages: centerfielder Mike Gatza at .406, rightfielder Dave Kwia- kowski at .385, and leftfielder Al Drews at .328. Second-baseman Pat Bidelman is hitting .313 and shortstop Fred Michalski follows at .304. Low ERA Ken Larson, today's probable Western pitcher, sports a 5-0 rec- ord and a 2.16 ERA in 49 innings. Ace southpaw Bill Ortlieb has a 4-0 record with a 1.80 ERA in 34 innings and will team with Ken Palmateer in the second game of the twin-bill. Palmateer is 2-0 and has a 2.07 ERA in 21 innings of pitching.
