The party is expected to arrive in the Iowa metropolis to- morrow morning. Coach Farrell is still undecided whether he will send his men over the two-mile distance, or over the longer route. The coach said yester- day that it all depends upon what sort of a day it is when the men are called to the track. If it is such a day as it was when "Steve" made the statement, he expects to send them over the short- er distance, otherwise he will use them against the four-mile field. In either race, "Cap" Murphy will undoubtedly have his hands upon the baton before any of the other Maize and Blue wearers get a chance at it. Donnelly will probably relieve "Cap" of his burden, with Ufer holding down the track as Michigan's third man. "Eddie" Carroll will follow Ufer and will run last. . All the men will take to the cinder paths upon which their events will be held tomorrow afternoon in order that they may become acclimated to the prevailing conditions before the day of the meet. The rest of the members of the track team will practice as usual during the absence of the coach and thqle men who are to accompany him to the battle ground. Farrell and his half-dozen men are booked to arrive home from Des Moines on Sunday afternoon. AVERAGES OF BASEBALL MEN Labadie Leads Batting With .370 in Statistie Gathered by Steen ALLFRESH SQUAD TO WORK AIN OR SHINE ('0och McGinnis Plags First Cvt for 7 Tomorrow; Yearlings Show Good Material Coach "Mac" McGinnis will expect his yearling baseball squad n fort on South Ferry Field this a ternoon, rain or shine, for the mentor expects to get a definite line on all oic the men prior to the first cut of the season. This will probably take place tomor- row. The coach will undoubtedly have more or less difficulty in deciding just which men to keep, for there is much real talent among the freshmen this year, but in order to get in shape for the first game with Albion college which comes a week from Saturday, "Mac" will have to commence the elimination process in short order. This year's squad promises much and from the few practices held so far McGinnis believes he will have a good team. 'BUZZ' CATLETT TO DIRECT WORK OF FRESH TRACK REST OF WEEK During the absence of Coach Farrell from Ferry Field for the remainder of the week, the tryouts for the All- Fresh track outfit will be under the direction of "Buzz" Catlett. All candidates may now work on the outdoor course, as the jumping pits are in readiness, and the high jump and pole vaulting apparatus have been removed from Waterman gymnasium to Ferry Field. . This is the first chance which the freshmen have had to avail themselves of any jumping pits, and it is ex- pected that a number of new men will take advantage of the fact that they may get on the field early in the outdoor season. Krchgessner, '19, Has Good Record All-Fresh Baseball Candidate Led Grand Rapids City League Slug- gers for Two Seasons Among the 60 odd candidates who reported for practice on the All-Fresh squad at South Ferry Field, the one who has probably the best record in amateur sporting circles is Kirchgess- ner, the leading batsman of last sea- son's interclass indoor baseball league. For the past two seasons, Kirchgess-. ner has led the City league in Grand Rapids, the nearest batsman being ITAKES CHARGE OF SPRING PRATIC WORhl NS!STS CHIEFLY iN PASS- 1..8 AN .J) R UNINIG B ACK PUNTS MAULUETSCH NOT IN UNIFORM I'ew of Old Guard Report, Most Squad Being From Last Fall's All-Fresh of Varsity football coach Fielding H. Yost took personal charge of the spring training squad yesterday at the second workout or the early season. When the coatb arrived at Ferry Field yesterday afternoon there was not a man qn the field in uniform. Inside of 15 minutes he had personally called up a number of men and shortly after this little attention a good-sized squad reported for practice. Practice consisted mainly in pass- ing the ball and in a running drill and in the kind of work conducive to hard exercise. Several rather "hefty" boys were noticed on the field and some surprising figures in avoirdupois were disclosed on inquiry. Captain Maulbetsch has not as yet donned his suit but he appeared on the field to watch activities. Rehor reported in citizen's togs during the afternoon, but neither he nor "Pat" Smith put on a uniform. With Nie- mann and Dunne occupied with base- ball, practically none of the old guard' were out for work. Nearly all of the, men who were out the first day were again in harness yesterday, last fall's. All-Fresh squad affording most ofj the, recruits. Nine more men signed up for suits and lockers, Goldsmith, Baxter, Boyd, Wiemann, Whalen, Dunn, Sparks, Weston and Watts.

St4 assumed the role of official scorer all-around statistician during I the southern trip and acting in his official capacity, Mr. Steen has compiled the, batting and fielding averages of the Michigan baseball squad for the southern trip. Mr. Steen's efforts in a mathematical way disclose the fact that Captain George Labadie is topping the Wolver- ine hitters with the grand average of .370. Brandell follows the captain with the creditable mark of .333. "Morry" Dunne is the only other Wolverine swatter in the select .300 circle yet, Dunne's figure standing at .320. Walterhouse and "Billy" Niemann stand next in the list, the shortstop hitting .272 while Niemann shows .259 as the result of his efforts in the south. Ohlmacher was the only Michi- gan twirler to secure a safety and he did himself proud by slamming out a couple, which gives him a mark of .250. The team batting average was only .231, which is far below the team average of a year ago when the entire squad returned with a .300 average. However, Coach Lundgren stated that 'the hitting of his men has been satis- factory, and that they have scored enough runs in every game that they have played to win the average game. Captain George Labadie and Brandell are the leading extra base hitters. La- badie poled a double and triple in one game, and Brandell contributed a homer and three bagger all in one contest. The complete batting and fielding averages follow: nearly 25 points behind him. During spring vacation, Kirchgess- ner went down to work out with the Grand Rapids team of the Central league, and while playing with the second team, he tripled with the bases loaded, and brought in two runs him- self, thus defeating the leaguers by a score of 6-1.- It is said by those on the inside that Kirchkessner has had offers from the Louisville team of the American Association, and several minor induce- ments from lesser teams. He is an all-round player, often doing the re- ceiving part of the battery work, but he is out for the outfield on the All- Fresh team. Basketball Made Major Sport at Penn Philadelphia, April 19.-Basketball was raised to major sport rank at the regular meeting of the board of directors of the University of Pennsyl- vania Athletic. association.
