WOLVERINES HIT BALL HARD
WHILE ON EASTERN JOURNEY
Seven Bat Above 800 Mark and Five
Have a Perfect Average in
the Field.
George Sisler, Michigan' ,phenom-
enal twirler, will probably not be an
the mound again this season, but may
be used against Pennsylvania in one
of the post season contests.
His arm has not been in good condi-
tion this year, but Coach Rickey be-
lieves the soreness to be nothing se-
rious. While tending the right garden
in the Penn game Sisler made a long
throw to the plate which probably was
itesponsible for the change for the
worse in the throwing member, which
will keep him from working in the
box.
While the heavy hitting Wolverin-
es were invading the' eastern towns,
seven of the members of the squad hit
tehe ball for an average of over 800;
while five of the ball tossers fielded
perfectly. Captain Bell leads the list
with a fielding average of 1,000 and se-
curing nine safeties out of eighteen
trips to the plate. Webber solved the
deliveries of the opposing pitchers for
seven clean ones in the fifteen times at
bat, while Cory hit at a .421 clip and
made no slips in the field. McQueen
and Sisler each have a .388 average
for the four games. Hughitt has a
.384 mark.
The team batting average for the
trip 'is .378 and the fielding average
is .847. The team accepted 144 chanc-
es out of 170 and hit safely 63 times
out of 140 times at bat.

will be appointed at the next meeting
of the board of regents to fill the va-
cancy in the economics department

Gov. Ferris Was Unable to Attend
Opening Conference of
Social Workers.
A bureau for the study of legisla-
tive and municipal problems and gov-
ernment is to be established next year,
according to President Harry B.
Hutchins, in his address at the open-
ing session of the Michigan State Con-
ference of Charities and Corrections,
in Sarah Caswell Angell hall last
night.
"The gravest questions of the pres-
ent day," said Pres. Hutchins, are
problems concerned with city govern-
ment. In the solving of these prob-
lems, the university can be of, the
greatest help, and it is for this end
that this work will be started here."
Pres. Hutchins, who is head of the
conference, told of the wide field in
which the university is of service to
the state. In the matter of charity, he
described the character of the people
who are treated in the hospitals and
dental clinic. The hospitals, he said,
treat 10,000 cases annually, and the
dental clinic 5.000. The Pasteur In-
stitute, said the president, has treated
1,056 cases since its founding in 1903,
and not one case treated has resulted
fatally.
President-emeritus James B. Angell
gave an address, in which he described
charitable methods when he was a boy
in Rhode Island. Problems of social
reform and service were unknown in
those days, he said; only abolition and
temperance were discussed. Dr. An-
gell attacked the fiction of the day, de-
claring that "short stories and prob-

MICHIGAN MNEDIC GRADUATES
LEAD HARIVARD AND HiOPKINS
Technical Preparation of Local Men
Shown to be Superior in
Recent Tabulations.
That Michigan medical graduates are
at least' 10 par cent better in their tech-
nical preparation than Harvard grad-
uates and at least 5 per cent better
than Johns Hopkins graduates, is the
onclusion warranted by recent tabular
statistics published in the last num-
ber of the Journal of the American
Medical Association.
Statistics showing. the results of
state board examinations of graduatcs
of all medical schools in the country,
give the graduates of both Michigan
medical schools very creditable stand-
ings, and they show that of the Mich-
igan men who have been
graduated since 1908, none fail-.
ed to pass. Of the graduates
from Johns Hopkins medical school
during the same period, more than 5
per cent failed to pass, and from Har-
vard graduates examined during this
period, more than 10 per cent failed.

The junior laws and soph eagineers
will try again to decide the campus
championship this afternoon on the
South Ferry field diamond at 4:00
o'clock. The game Saturday to decide
which aggregation would receive the
honor resulted in a 6' to 6 tie and so
the contest today is sure to be a fight
to the finish.
Haddon will be sent to work on the
mound for the engineers and.Spencer
will probably go back for the laws
altough Dobson may be the choice of
manager Witherow if the speed art-
ist's arm is in condition. Shepard will
do the backstopping for the boiler-
makers and Lackey is booked to work
with the big mitt for the laws.
The lineups will be practically the
same as, used Saturday with the ex-
ception of the third sack for the jun-
iors, which may be covered by Hippler
if Witherow's ankle is in shape to al-
low him to cover the right garden,
and Metcalf will no doubt be used in
the field for the engineers.
It is hard to dope out the result of
today's game from the contest Satur-
day, because the teams at that time
were evenly matched. The laws were
the heavy hitters, while the engineers
went the nine innings without an error.
Both teams are sure of winning today,
and if confiderice has anything to do
with the kind of baseball played, both
aggregations will display some real
work.
COMEDY CLUB HOLDS TRYOUTS
FOR MEMBERSHIP TOMORROW.
Preliminary tryouts for. membership
in the Comedy club and for the parts

outs will be expected to give a reading
of their own, or a reading that will be
assigned at that time.
A second and final trial for those
surviving on Wednesday will be held
some time next week, and the tryouts
will be assigned parts in some play.
for recitation at the later date.

In accordance with the recent rul-
ing passed by the Senate council and
the committee on non-athletic organ-
izations, the interfraternity confer-
ence has taken up the question 01
stricter rules regarding rushing and
the pledging of freshmen.
While the rules are not accepted as
yet, it is expected that they will be
ratified at a meeting of the confer-
ence to be held in the near future
They provide that no fraternity shall
pledge any freshmen until the firsi
Friday in May, and that no engage-
ment shall be made by any fraternity
or member with any freshmen before
the Wednesday preceding the first
Friday in May.
A judicial committee for the pur-
pose of enforcing the provisions o
the rules is provided for,and they may
punish a fraternity for infraction by
publication of the offense, by allow-
ing no rushing dates, or by not allow-
ing the fraternity to pledge or initiate
a man for the period of one year.
The rules also provide for the al-
lotment of four dates during the scho-
lastic year previous to the first Fri-
day in May when freshmen may be
entertained at the fraternity house,
and that they may not be entertained
at any other time except on the dates
allotted. For the purposes of the
rules, a freshman is considered as a
person not having a year's residence
at this or any other college or uni-
versity.

rister society. The men chosen were:

Louis P. Haller, John B. Helm, Ed-
ward G. Kemp, Frank W. Murphy,

H. Pontius, and Creger B. Quaintance.
The initiation was held in the court

a picture of the society was taken on
the steps of the law building.
The initiation banquet was held im-
mediately after the ceremonies in
Mack's tea room. William Mills was

Dean H. M. Bates, Prof. Evans Hol-
brook and Prof. R. E. Bunker repre-

of selling liquor to James Minzey, '16,
last Tuesday evening, was bound over
to the October term of circuit cer«:t
under bond of $200 by Justice Doty
after hearing the evidence submitted
by Prosecutor George Burke at tlge
preliminary hearing yesterday after-
noon.
James H.Minzey,the complaining wit-
ness, testified that he had bought two
glases of beer in Damm's place Tues-
day evening, and had also purchased
one glass for a friend. Cross-exam-
ined by John P. Kirk, attorney for the
defense, Minzey refused to admit that
he had made complaint against the
saloonkeeper at the instigation of any
one; but asserted that the warrant
was issued at his request, and he act-
ed voluntarily in filing a complaint
against Damm. Attorney Kirk tried
to establish a motive for Minzey's com-
plaint, but the witness declared that
he had not been coerced by either the
university authorities or members of
the license committee of the city coun-
cil.
Minzey admitted that he had been
summoned to the office of President
Hutchins Tuesday to explain to uni-
versity officials a difficulty in which
he was involved, the nature of which
he refused to state in court; and in the
conversation he had had with the uni-
versity officials, he stated that the pues-
tion of students buying liquor was
discussed. He admitted that he had
been cautioned by the officials to stay'
away from the saloons. Attorney Kirk
asked him why he did not heed the ad-
vice, since that very evening he had
gone into Damm's saloon and bought
liquor.
"I was suffering under a nervous
strain and I thought that the drink
would do me good," replied Minzey.
On Wednesday morning at 9:00
o'clock, according to further testimo-
ny, Minzey had another appointment
with Pres. Hutchins, and named places
where he had been buying liquor.Then
on his own free will he went down to
Justice Doty's office and filed a com-
plaint.
No other witnesses were called for
the prosecution, and Attorney Kirk
stated that his client would offer no
evidence.
Prosecutor George Burke stated last,
night that he did not have a list of
students who were known to frequent
saloons.
"I will not call upon students to
testify in the case against Lawrence
Damm beyond the witnesses I have
already listed. I can state that none
of them are students not directly con-
cerned with this case. I am not in fa-
vor of a 'spotter system,"and I Would
refuse to consider evidence offered by
informers or spies," he declared.
