SYRCUSE DEFEATS in I'iglit 1-Inning Game Oramngemuen Conquer Farmers; Final Score, 4- i TURNURE MAY OPPOSE MICHIAN (Detroit Free Press News Service) EAST LANSING, MICH., May 7- Timely hitting by the Syracuse pair, Hamilton and Travis, resulted in the defeat of the Michigan Aggies' ball team by a 4 to 3 score, in an 11-inning game here this afternoon. M. A. C. took the lead in the first inning when wildness on the part of Nichols, the Syracuse captain and pitcher, allowed the Aggies two runs. A run in the fifth and one in the sev- enth tied the score for the Orange- men, but the Aggies again took the lead in their half of the seventh, when they pushed their third run across the pan. In the first of the ninth Hamilton got to first on a single, making sec- ond on a bunt, and scoring when Trav- is doubled between second and short. M. A. C. failed to score in her half, and the overtime started. Neither side scored in the tenth inning. Hamilton again started trouble for the Aggies, when he tripled in the eleventh, with the score a tie at 3 to 3. Travi, who had driven in the run which tied the score in the ninth, sin- gled, scoring Hamilton from third. The Syracuse pitchers, Slater and Nichols, have each worked in the box on the trip west, and it is likely that Turnure, who furnished the Wolver- ines so much trouble last year will face Michigan in tomorrow's game at Ann Arbor. The score by innings and the bat- teries of today's game follow: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11-R Syracuse 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1-4 M. A. C. ..2 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0-3 Batteries: for M. A.

The team leaves here in the morning, reaching Detroit in time for luncheon and a short rest be- fore playing. The team will play in the following order: No. 1, Captain Reindell; No. 2, Crawford; No. 3, Mack; No. 4, Switzer; No. 5, Polasky; No. 6, Cohen. These men will play the men on the Detroit team whose numbers correspond to theirs, thus having the men on each team play together in order of their ranking in the tryouts. A week of practice remains to the Wolverines before their invasion of the east, and the men will carry on their "round-robin" trials throughout the whole of the week. The composi- tion court should be complete by next week, and as a result the squad should not need to be inactive on any of the afternoons. APPOINTMENT COMMITTEE FINDS POSITIONS FOR 13 TEACHERS Teachers positions are not all filled yet, if the record of the appointment committee can be taken as sufficient evidence. Thirteen different positions were given out this week. Those who received appointments are:-I. M. DeVoe, instructor of math- ematics, Highland Park; Frank At- wood, George School, George, Pa.; Louise Densmore, English, River Rouge; Flora Ames, '15, mathematics, Wyandotte; Margaret Wooley, '15, En- glish and history, Ovid; Mary P.

S., Indianapolis, Indr STARHURERWILL OPPOSESYRACUS Coach Expects to Use Sisler through Entire Game; Nemann to Fill Place in Outfield ALTERS TEAM'S BATTING ORDER Michigan's bet will oppose Syra- cuse in today's game, George Sisler being the man who will do the twirl- ing for the Wolverines in their sec- ond brush with the Orangemen. Sisler has been out for practice every day, and the coach expects to be able to use the veteran pitcher for the full game, the first time this year. Sisler's appearance in the box will leave an open place in the outfield which will be filled by Niemann, who will play in right field, and Labadie will be shifted to the place left vacant by Sisler. Niemann has been hitting the ball hard in practice, and his abil- ity to serve in the outfield will re- ceive a real tryout in today's game. The Wolverines have not been hit- ting the ball the way the coach would like to see his proteges hit, and a shift in the batting order is partly the re- sult of trying to make the men get their batting eye back and partly the result of the using of Sisler in the b'ox instead of in the field. The batting order for today's game will be as fol- lows: Sheehy cf; McQueen 2b; Bran- dell ss; Sisler p; Benton c; Labadie If; Maltby 1b; Waltz 3b; Niemann rf. Yesterday's practice was devoted to a heavy batting drill which lasted most of the afternoon. S. C. A. OMITTEE SELECTS CANDIDATES FOR PRESIDE N(Y N. E. Pinney, '16, and 1.

FARRELJAKES 25 ATHLETES TO FRAY Biggest Squad Michigan Has Sent Away Leaves for Contest with Notre Dame EXPECT TO DEFEAT CAThOLICS Coach Farrell, Track Manager Con- nely and 25 Varsity track athletes left over the Michigan Central yesterday noon for South Bend, where they meet Notre Dame in a dual meet to- day. This is one of the biggest squads of track men that Michigan has ever sent away for a meet, and despite the fact that strength does not lie partic- ularly in mere numbers, local track followers are looking for a victory over the Notre Dame squad. Michigan defeated the Catholics in the indoor meet in Waterman gym by a rather one-sided score, but Coach Farrell stated that he expected to find a much stronger squad in South Bend than that which Notre Dame sent up here for the indoor affair. The coach stated that a big differ- ence existed between indoor and out- door work and cited the case of Syra- cuse a couple of years ago. Michigan doubled the Orangemen's score in the indoor affair, but when the two squads clashed on the cinders later in the year, the easterners' victory over Michigan was as decisive as had been their earlier defe'at. The team will leave South Bend shortly after the meet is over and will arrive in Ann Arbor late tonight. Francis Hickok Wins Second in Oratorical Meet Just as The Daily goes to press, a message from Iowa City, Iowa, by the Detroit Free Press wire service, an. noinced that Miss Francis Hickok of Michigan, the only woman entered in the contest of the Northern Oratorical association won second place in the contest anid the prize of $50 in gold. Mhis hiiekok's oration was "The New Mission of Womanhood." First place went to C. W. Fainter of 3innesota on a close decision. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ORATORICAL ASSOCIATION * * ELECTION * ~-0-* * Time-10:00-12:30 o'clock. * * Place-University hall corridor. * * Requirements-Association tick- * * et. * * Candidates * * President----lHarry D.
