Y., May 17.-Coach Lundgren's ball team got rid of its jinx today, and broke the tie with Syr- ocuse, defeating the Orangement in a 6 to 1 game. Turnure, who pitched the 12 inning tie in the second Syracuse game with Michigan, worked for the home team, and Ferguson did the mound work for the visitors. All of Michigan's counters came in the second round, when the Wolver- ines bunched five hits on their ancient Nemesis, and coupled these with two errors to score six runs. A wild throw by Ahearn pushed in the first Michi- gan run, but good stick work by Cap- tain McQueen's men was responsible for the rest. Ferguson for Michigan kept the Syr- acuse hits well scattered, allowing them to bunch the clouts on but one occasion. In the ninth, the first three Syracuse hitters singled, and Travis, the fourth man, was hit by 'Fergie,' forcing in the only counter for the home team. With the bases full and none out, Turnure, the Orange pitcher, hit a fast one to McQueen who tossed to Maltby, starting a triple play, Mc- Queen to Maltby to Brandell. Michigan looked. weak in the first time at bat, being retired in. one-two- three order, but Syracuse did not look much stronger, and the first inning closed without any scoring by either team. Sisler opened the second for Michigan with a bingle which landed him safely on first. Benton followed with a clout which went for a safe hit, putting Sisler on second. Labadie and Maltby both went out without pushing over a score. Waltz drew a pass, fil- ling the bases. Ferguson reached first on a wild heave, and Michigan crossed the plate for the first time. The remaining runs followed when Sheehy hit, scoring Ferguson. Sheehy scored on Brandell's hit, McQueen, who singled taking third.

Captain Rein- del's men thought they would heet the best team of their trip east in the men from the Smoky City, and had planned on a hard match. The oflveries were victorious in three of the singles and split the doub- les. Captain Reindel was the loser in his match with Captain McElroy of the Pittsburg team, and Reindel and Crawford were defeated in the doubles. The other contests went the way of the Wolverines. Switzer, who has been the surprise of the two matches played, took his match from Myers in easy fashion, winning the second set hands down. Mack also had an easy time in beat- ing Haines. Crawford struck more of a snag in Gant, but finally won out. The doubles were both hotly contested, Michigan losing the first and winning the second. The second set in each match went to deuce before the winner was decided. McElroy, captain and star of the Pittsburg team, who defeated Reindel, is rec- ognized as one of the best of colle- giate tennis players. le is placed thirtieth in the national tennis ranking. ie took things rather easy with the Michigan captain, winning the. two sets without much difficulty. The summaries: Singles-McElroy (P) d. Reindel (M), 6-4, 6-2; Crawford (M) d. Gant (P) 6-4, 8-6; Switzer (M) d. Myers (P), 6-4, 6-4; Mack (M) d. Ilaines (P), 6-2, 6-0. Doubles--McElroy and Gant (5) d. Reindel and Crawford (M), 6-3, 7-5; Switzer and Mack (M) d. Haines and Myers (P), 6-4, 7-5. Unsteadiness forced the Michigan team to go down to defeat before Ober- lin Saturday. The end of the match found the score 4-2. Wilder, the Cal- ifornian, was easily the star of the day. He beat Reindel, 6-0, 6--3. Switzer and Mack won their matches in the singles, but Craword was defeated, 6-2, 6-0. The Wolverines lost both of the doubles. LAW TEARS WIL DETER1IlN E S'H1AMPION IN B ATTLE TOI)A Efforts to play off the three-cornered tie in inter-class baseball in the Law School have been unavailing, and as a result first and second teams for the first round are still undetermined. Fresh and junior laws are to play this afternoon, the winner being conceded department champions. The loser of this game will play the seniors on Wednesday, the victorious nine being allowed to continue in the second round as the second team of the law division. As a result of these extra games to determine the law championship, it has been necessary to indefinitely postpone the fresh lit vs. first team in law division, and fresh dents vs. sec- ond team in law division, scheduled for today, and the fresh medic vs. first team in the law division, scheduled for tomorrow.

PORTRAY MYTH ON "LANTERN NIGHT University Women Preparing for May Dancing Fete in Natural Setting of Obsera. tory Hollow "PERSEPHONE AND DEMETER" THEME OF INTERPRETATION Action Will Be Seen Under Wlow of Searchlights; Seniors Carry Japanese Lanterns Outdoor rehearsals for the May dancing fete, which will be given by the wome of the university Wednes- day evening, May 26, will begin today under the personal direction of Miss Alice Evans. Observatory Hollow, which will form the natural setting for the portrayal of the Greek myth, "Persephone and Demeter," has been recently mowed and rolled, and is in excellent condition for the coming event. Something new in the way of light- ing effects has been contributed by the Eastern Michigan Edison company. A full moon will be seen rising over the clump of trees, which are to form the background of the setting, and during the performance four enormous searchlights will light the scene for the dancing. Vari-colored lights will be used also to give added effect to the interpretation of the seasons. Talent has been secured for this production which is said to be the best among the women of the campus. All of the members of the cast were chos- en by the process of elimination fol- lowing tryouts, and a large number have already appeared in former cam- pus productions. Following the presentation of "Per- sephone and Demeter" the senior wom- en will celebrate the time-honored "Lantern Night," but in a different manner than has been followed for- merly. Attired in caps and gowns, the graduates will march across the field, each carrying a Japanese lantern. Af- ter executing a number of intricate fig- ures, which have been planned for the occasion, the lanterns will be handed over to the junior women, who will come to meet the departing class, thus showing the transfer of the authority from one class to the other. Music for the fete has been carefully selected, and Martha Gray, '16, has written several selections for the in- terpretative dances, which have been prepared for orchestration by William Mills, '18, who composed a large share of the music for "All That Glitters." ACCOMMODATIONS SECURED FOR ONLY HALF OF PREP ENTRIES afanagement Seeks Quarters for High School Athletes Still Uneared for AlthougA over 200 prep school ath- letes will pour into Ann Arbor Friday and Saturday of this week, the men in charge of the seventeenth annual in- terscholastic meet, report that accom- modations have been secured for only half of them. In former years, the authorities have had no trouble in placing the men at fraternity houses, more places being reported for the meet. This year, In- terscholastic Manager Frank G. Mil- lard sent out postcards to all the fra- ternities, asking them how many men they could take. Up to date, only a few of these cards have been answered, and as a result, many of the men have not been placed. To make the meet a success, Man- ager Millard states that it is necessary that all fraternities which have not of- fered accommodations report at once. The entertainment of the visiting men will be taken care of by the manage- ment, the fraternities being asked to furnish only meals and places to sleep.

ASKS SUPPORT FOR PROJECT Of UN1ION Every Michigan Graduate and Former Student Who Can Be Reached Will Receive Alumnus GIVES ARCHITECTS' STATEMENT To inform "Michigan men every- where" of the Union campaign and the proposed new building, a copy of the May issue of the Michigan Alumnus, out today, will be sent to every grad- uate and former student of the univer- sity, whose address can be found in the university records. The magazine contains a summary of the status of the campaign, and in- cludes a statement from the architects, I. K. Pond, '79E, and Allen Pond, '80, an article on the "Campaign for the Union," and a "Statement to Alumni," prepared by the chairil. of the cam- paign committee. Editorially, the Alumnus tells of the campaign among the students, and says that $60,000 has already been subscribed by the stu- dent body towards a $100,000 total to be given by them. The editors have attempted to give a concrete answer to almost any ques- tion that might arise in the mind of an old graduate, concerning the position the Union occupies at Michigan and its most urgent need. "The Home of the Michigan Union," a statement by the architects, tells of the air of democracy, which they tried to weave into the plans, and is supple- mented with six cuts of exterior and interior scenes and plans of the six floors of the proposed building. Six pages of pictures show local chairmen and committeemen of the building fund campaign in various cities in the c:1 untry, where the committee organi- zation has been completed for the cam- paign next fall.-, Already 29 classes have arranged for reunions in Ann Arbor on June 22 and 23, according to the magazine, and be- cause other classes are considering the advisability of issuing a call, it is thought that last year's record of 1,420 registrations will easily be surpassed.

WOMEN'S LEAGUE HOUSE ROBBED Thief Believed to Be Girl Operates During Senior Sing During the senior sing last Friday night, a sneak thief entered a Women's League house at 604 East Jefferson street and made away with $16 in cash Mrs. J. A. Jenkins, landlady, was called to the telephone tg answer an inquiry as to whether any of the girls were at home. Upon being assured that there was no one in the house except the landlady, the inquirer, a girl, rang off, Housework occupied the attention of Mrs. Jenkins for the next few minutes, and while she was so engaged she heard someone moving about on the second floor.
