VARSITY ORGES INTO LEADURING BIG SIXTH INNING EVERY MAN ON MICHIGAN TEAM FACES KALAMAZOO PITCHER IN EVENTFUL ROUND CONRAD PITCHES GOOD GAME 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.

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 (Continued on Page Three) WANRINEW MANGER OF DIASSMES CONTROL W. R. Atlas, '18, Appointed Assistant Student Manager; Organization Appears Saturday 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 band upon its proficiency, Mr. Wahr 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. President Mathews announced that all blue overcoats were to be turned in at Hill auditorium Friday afternoon between 1:00 and 5:30 o'clock. At this time the members will receive the khaki uniforms. The next appearance of the band will be at the Case game Saturday.

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- (Continued on Page Six) 1 Dr. Kamn to Read Paper Before A.C.S.

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. .h 'MARlE CORNWEILL, '17 whlo has the iole of Mine.

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. BRITISH CENSORSHIP Irish Sea Swarms with German- Boats to Prevent Arrival of British Ships LORD LIEUTENANT OF IRELAN ANNOUNCED AS PRISONER ]BY IRISH REBELS U- 6 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. f s, 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.
