.14,; THE MICHIGAN DAILY ii, THE MICHIGAN DAILY a sa v .-. Wolverine Nine To Open Home Against -Daily-,James Warneka WOLVERINE STARTERS-Starting for Michigan when the Wolverines open their home season this afternoon against Wayne State will be, from left to right, Dennis Spalla, Bill Freehan, and Dick DeLamielleure. Freehan and Spalla will be appearing for the first time be- fore the home fans. Both have been impressive in drills and on the spring tour. DeLamielleure, a reserve last year, has moved into the starting berth vacated by Dave Brown in left field. Lund Names Mareereau McGinn To Hurl By BRIAN MacCLOWRY Barringrain, sleet, hail, snow or some other astronomical phe- nomena, Michigan will open its 1961 home baseball season today against Wayne State University at '3:30 p.m. at Ferry Field.. Unlike the Tigers, the Wolver- ines will not have two chaps nam- ed John Swainson and Louis Miri- ani throwing out the first ball but maybe it's better that way. Tues- day in Detroit Swainson showed up late and reliefer Miriani al- most stuck his first toss in Bob Scheffing's ear. Michigan'coach Don Lund will replace the politicians with senior righthander Denny McGinn, who is scheduled to work the first five innings. Fellow senior Bob Mar- cereau will toil the final four frames in continuation of coach Lund's pattern of giving his pit- chers the maximum amount of work before the Big Ten cam- paign opens. McGinn, who was 5-2 last year, left the desert country with an even up 1-1 mark, having pitched 10% innings and yielded two runs. He walked three and whiffed one. Tossed Shutout Last spring Marcereau finished with a 2-1 mark including a 6-0 shutout of Iowa, the Wolverines' only whitewash job of the 1960, chase. On the college grapefruit circuit last week in Arizona Mar- cereau failed to record a decision but was batted around pretty good. In 143 innings against Phoe- nix JC and Arizona State the er- ratic left-hander was touched for 10 runs-seven of them earned- while walking two and striking out five. THE LINEUP Joe Jones 2B Dick Honig SS Bill Freehan 1B Dick DeLamielleure LF Joe Merullo 3B Dennis Spalla RF Ed Hood CF Dick Syring C Dennis McGinn P Figures usually don't lie, but in Marcereau's case they do. He just wasn't that bad in Arizona. Rather, he just wasn't that bad in one game in Arizona. Against Phoenix he turned in an im- pressive 10 innings, allowing only one earned run before he was lifted. Waterloo Comes His "Waterloo" came four days later against Arizona when he was bombarded for 11 hits and six runs in four innings. Lund can be thankful for two things today-Wayne State is not a junior college and the Ferry Field diamond is surounded by a green picket fence. Michigan's only losses on the spring trip came at the hands- or bats-of Phoenix JC, a junior sized version of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Michigan Trapped Meeting all comers in their own park-an uncircumscribed plot of terra firma that would make Yan- kee Stadium look like a backyard playpen-Phoenix is content to bunt, stroke and score while the visitors slash, mash and fly out. The Wolverines, too, were caught in this coup. Aided by the light desert air and Henrich and Bradsby, several Michigan batsmen poled balls that could have been used to measure weather conditions in the strato- sphere. But once down they only touched leather on the hands of outfielders stationed telescopically from home plate. Fence Closer Today the air will be heavier but the fence closer-about 200 feet. Ferry Field measures 340-ft. down the left and right field foul lines and 380-ft. to straight-a-way center, an inviting target for a Michigan team that still managed to poke seven homers in Arizona despite playing three games in a vacuum. Lund won't admit it but for this 1961 Wolverine team that four foot green picket fence could - dollar for dollar - be the most important purchase the athletic department ever made.
