Robins Settles Down After First In-
Inning, Holding Fes to Three
Runs; ,Final Sedre 7-3
When Kalamazoo pushed three run-
ners around the circuit right in the
opening inning yesterday afternoon
and Southpaw Conrad started mowing,
down the Michigan batters with easej
and precision, things looked dubious
for the Wolverines.
However, when Michigan scored
twice i the fifth Conrad lost his smile
and his hat and when the sixth frame
closed he didn't even have an alibi.
The final score was seven to three.
Let it be recorded in full justice to
Conrad that when the big boy's right,
college batters aren't going to troublej
him appreciably and in fact they didn't
yesterday as he struck out eleven men
and allowed but six hits. He lost con-
trol though, and Walter Johnson's fast
ball wouldn't beat the fresh lits with
this valuable and indispensable asset
missing.k,
Every man on the Michigan team
went to bat in the eventful sixth. La-
badie walked. Brandell walked. Con-
rad threw one in the general direc-
tion of the grandstand and both men
advanced. Walterhouse walked and
the bases were filled. Caswell smote,
one into the offing,. scoring Brandell
and the captain, while Walterhouse
skipped to third. He was trapped off
the base, but the third baseman be-
came infected with the spirit of the
times and he threw into center field,.
Walterhouse scoring. Caswell had
gone to second on the throwin and
he tried to score but was nailed at
the plate.
Conrad then passed Smith. "Smitty"
stole second and went to third on a
pass ball. Newell struck out. The
rules expressly prescribe that each
batter shall arm himself with a bat
as he steps to the plate and the Michi-
gan batters complied with formalities
so that they wouldn't lose on a tech-
nicality, but clubs were useless. Rob-
ins walked. 'Billy" Neimann was' hit
by a pitched ball, Conrad, deviating
from his custom somewhat, at this
point. "Morry" Dunne mercifully
struck out at this juncture, though,
and the inning closed.
With two on in the next inning, Cas-
well doubled to left and the last two
Michigan runners crossed. the plate.
Joe Robins was a trifle unsteady in
the first and the visitors hung up their
three runs, but he settled down
and after this point he held the

After a spirited rehearsal in Uni-
versity hall last night, Mr. Fred B.
Wahr of the German department, new-
ly elected faculty manager of the Uni-.
versity baud, assumed active control
of the organization.
In a short talk complimenting the

stated that the.same sort of co-opera-
tive work which made the band such a
success under the direction of Mr. S.
J. Hoexter would be continued under
the new administration. The appoint-
ment of Walter R. Atlas, '18, as assist-
ant student manager, was announced
at this time.

FINAL REHEARSAL SUCCESSFUL
Three loud raps on the floor of thet
back stage will take the place of thet
usual blare of orchestra music in an-c
nouncing to the audience at the Whit-j
ney theater tonight that the curtainc
is about to be raised on "Miquette etl
Sa Mere," this year's production of thet
Cercle Francais. The absence of an
orchestra is in keeping with the pure-
ly French tone maintained throughout
the play.
The final dress rehearsal was held
yesterday afternoon, and was pro-
nounced successful in every particular.
Adele Crandall, '17, took the leading
part of "Miquette" in a manner that
won the approbation of all those pres-
ent. Marie Cornwell, '17, played the
role of the mother of "Miquette."
Lloyd Curby, '17L, as the "Marquis,"
L. S. Thompson, '18, as "Monchablon",
and Manuel del Valle, '16E, as "Ur-
bain", the lover of Miquette, showed
remarkable skill in the presentation{
of their parts. "Monchablon," a worn-1
out actor, is the humorous character
of the play, his part at times taking
on the nature of a caricature. "Perine,"
a trim little maid, is played by Mary
Johns, '16.
The play is a modern French com-
edy. Act I is laid in a tobacco shop
in a small town near Paris,, while
Act II shows the interior of the house
of the Marquis in the city of Paris.
Following the French custom, six
girl ushers will escort the audience to
their seats. The following will act
in this capacity, Hester Cooper, Mar-
garet Long, Helen Nipps, Helen Bush,
Zena Marsh, and Muriel Tyson. An
additional touch of "local color" is
found in the presence of the French
poodle, "Medor," which takes an active
part in the proceedings.
The seat sale will be continued at
the Whitney after 2:00 o'clock this aft-
ernoon. The curtain will rise prompt-
ly at 8:00 o'clock.

El Paso, April 26.News of two
battles between American troops and
Villa bandits in Mexico reached the
border today in official advices from
General Pershing, commanding the'
American forces.
One dispatch gave the brief details
of an engagement on April 20 between
American forces, under Colonel Irwin,
of the Seventh Cavalry, and a band of
Villistas at Cocomarachio, near Duer-
rero. Four Mexicans were wounded
and captured in this battle, the rest
of the band escaping. The sentries of
the Villistas scented the approach of
the Americans and gave warning in+
time to permit most of the bandits to
escape.
The other message told of Colonel
Dodd and his American cavalry de-
tachment meeting and defeating a
band of 250 Villistas in the mountain
of western Chihuahua on April 22. The+
Americans killed six and wounded 19
of the band, losing in return two men
killed and three wounded. The Villis-+
tas were overtaken in the late after-

Dublin Man Calls
Casement Insane
Rev. Prof. henry Browne Says Irish
Nationalist Has Done Much
for British Government
Rev. Professor Henry Browne, pro-
fessor of classics in the University of
IDublin, made ,the following state-
ment here yesterday in regard to Sir
Roger Casement, the Irish Nationalist
who was recently arrested while at-
tempting to land from a German cruis-
er on the Irish coast:
"Sir Roger Casement was in former
years a man of great promise, and he
has rendered many valuable services
to the British government, but his re-
cent actions make it appear to his
friends that he is partly insane."
Continuing, he said, "I do not-think
the Dublin riots will amount to much.
The ordinary Dublin mob is made up
of low elements, easily stirred up, but
lacking in effective leadership and
persistence. The educated and intel-
ligent classes are in . complete sym-
pathy with the government and utter-
ly opposed to mob violence.
Professor Browne is making a tour
of mid-western colleges for the pur-
pose of studying the use of illustrated
material in college teaching. He left
yesterday for New York, from whence
he will return in a short time to Ire-
land.

New York, April 26.-A number of
sensational cipher messages were re-
ceived here today by circles sympa-
thizing with the Sinn Fein, the organ-
ization which is leading the rebellion
in Dublin and which has an elaborate
system in this country by which "in-
side news" on the developments in
Ireland, is learned at first hand long
before it becomes known even in Lon-
don. In view of the fact that the de-
velopments of the last 48 hours have
borne out previous cipher messages
of this kind in every detail, it is safe
to assume that they are authentic.
The secret code cablegrams say:
"Violent fighting continues in Dub- -
lin. The greater part of' the city is
held by the rebels."
Another message says that Lord
Wimborne, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland,
the house representative of the crown
in Ireland, his under secretary, Mr.
Nathan, General Friend, commander-
in-chief of the British troops in Ire-
land, and his whole staff, as well as
several hundreds of British soldiers,
are prisoners in the hands of the
rebels. They are held, it is stated,
as hostages for Sir Roger Casement.
The same message declares that up-
risings have broken out in other parts
of Ireland and that the trouble is
spreading through all the provinces.
At no time since the outbreak of the
war has the lid of British censorship
been pressed as tight upon the cable
messages as today.sThe exact status
of affairs in the Irish capitol at the
present moment can only be inferred.
The story of the Sinn Fein rebellion
is being told not by what the London
cables say but by their omission.
"The house can take it from me that
the government has the situation well
in hand," announced Secretary for Ire-
land Birrell in the commons yester-
day. To those familiar with the tactics
of the London press bureauand the
powers that guide 'it this meant that
the rebellion is still in full swing, for
had it been quelled or even controlled
the chief secretary would have said
just that.
Amsterdam, April 26.-The entire
Irish sea and the Atlantic waters to
the west and south of Ireland are
swarming with German submarines
whose sole task is to sink every troop
ship destined for Ireland to quell the
rebellion.
Sir Roger Casement, who has been
arrested and taken to London, is said
to have succeeded in landing several
trains, large amounts of arms and am-
munition and explosives, which were
hurriedly taken into the interior by
Separatist agents who were on the job
when the German vessel arrived.

Ex-Captain Called Best Player
Rowland of the White Sox
byI
George Sisler, the star of the Uni-
versity of Michigan baseball team for
the past three seasons, has been get-
ting a great start this season with
the St. Louis Browns in the American
league.
Manager Rowland of the Chicago
White Sox gave out the following
statement in Detroit, just after his
team'had completed a series against
the St. Louis aggregation.
"Weilman is the only real pitcher
St. Louis has, while George Sisler is
their best ball player." .
A big effort will be made to gel,
Sisler back to Ann Arbor for tbh
alumni game this year if the St. Louis
team is in this section of the country.

This explains, in the opinion of ob-
servers here, the fact that theDublin
revolt was at all possible-for the reb-
els, who seemed to be amply provided
with arms and ammunition, contrary to
all expectations.
