TALLYIN FIFTH
MILLER PITCHES SPECTACULAR
BALL DURING ENTIRE
GAME
RUSSEL ALLOWS LONE HIT
Wild 'Throw by Walterhouse Against
Tifrd Base Bleachers Allows
Ludwig to Score
Pitcher Russell of Cornell all but
inscribed. his name upon the sacred
scroll of baseball immortals yester-
day afternoon, when he let the Wol-
verines down gently with one lone
solitary hit, and that the contribu-
tion of a pinch hitter in the last half
of the ninth.
Cornell won.the game 1 to 0, but in
all justice to "Shorty" Miller one
should take full cognizance of the
fact that "Shorty" was in no way re-
sponsible for the run. He pitched
magnificent ball all afternoon, but one
4f his supporting cast erred griev-
ousiy at just the wrong moment, and
a red-egged visitor flashed acrss
the plate when he should have been
thrown out by a city block at third
base.
Cornell's run came in the fifth. With
one jown, Miller passed Ludwig. This
was te first base on balls that the
lanky boy had issued in 19 consecu-
tive innings and it was the only one
all afternoon, Eckley drove one
straight back at Miller which the
pitcher deflected, but Eckley sprinted
safely to first. Ludwig meanwhile
conceived the brilliant idea of offering
an impersonation of Tyrus Raymond
Cobb and he tried to go all the way
to third. Walterhouse pounced on the
ball, and with Ludwig still 25 feet
away from third, tlhe Michgan short-
stop arched the bal oer' against the
third base bleachers and Ludwig scam-
pered home.
In the ninth Coach Lundgren sent
Reen in to hit for Miller. It was his
first kppearance at the plate, and after
fouling a coule over the stands, he
slapped one straigit back through the
box. Eckley cut over from short like
a flash, but the ball bunced against
lhe base and Reem reaehed frst in
safety. !
Russell grew annoyed at this
unexpected break, and he fanne

INLANDER OUT THIS WEEK
Contains Play by E. P. Wright,'16, and
Contributions from Faculty Writers
Besides the story of Quaker life,
,vritten by Grace Boynton,. graduate,
anc' another of a lighter nature en-
titled "Her French Blood," by Miriam
Hubbard, '16, a play, "Recrucified,"
by Edward P. Wright, '16, has alsoj
been selected for publication in thef
May number of !Ile Inlander, which is
to appear about the middle of thist
week.
The play follows closely the style
of the old miracle plays and its cene-
is laid before' a wayside shrine. Ther
moral is said to be fraught with deep
significance, and the dialogue through-7
out exceptionally well handled.
One of the four poems selected dealst
with Cap Night, one of the oldest tra-

itional events on Michigan's campus.1
Another and longer contribution in
verse is entitled "Brooks and Springs"1
tand is said to possess the joyful spirit
Hof the great outdoors. A third is a
translation from the Greek by Mr.
Martin Feinstein of the Rhetoric de-
partment. This is more of a traduc-'
tion than a literal translation and
contains passages of remarkable beau-
ty. Mr. M. C. Wier, also of the Rhe-
toric department, has furnislwd thet
,magazine with a bit of verse-a frgg-r
;ment on the reading of Homer.E

Speakers for the two "Pep" meet-
ings of the underclasses in prepara-
tion for the spring contests were an-
nounced last night by Francis T.
Mack, '16E, general chairman of the
spring contests The meeting of the
freshmen on Wednesday night will be
addressed by Staatz M. Abrams, '17E,
and Werner W. Schroeder, '16L, while
"Wap" John, '16, and "Bill" Mullen-
dore, '16L, will attempt to instill pep
into the second year men at the meet
ing on Thursday. The new rules for
the different events will also be ex-
plained at these meetings and the
student council urgently requests
every male student in the two under-
classes to attend the meetings,
Safety First Measures Taken
The four new rules for the pushball
contest will materially lessen the ele-
ment of danger to participants, ac-
cording to A. S. Hart, '17, and Grant
L. Cook, '17L, members of the student
council committee which drafted the
new safety provisions.
In the past with the ball starting
from the ground the danger of injury
was much greater. This year the ball
will starp and remain off the ground
during the entire period of the con-
test. This will be accomplished at
the start by the two classes forming
on ppposite sides of the ball, with the
foremost men on each side upholding
it. At a signal from the student
councilman in charge the contest will
start.
"FIying Squdrogs" Tabooed
In providing that students shall not
get upon the shoulders of other con-
testants, the committee also elimin-
ated much danger of personal in-
jury, because it was this practice in
the past that was responsible for a
great many of the hurts
"Flying squadrons" will not be tol-
erated, this year, either, nor will any
rushing of any description from the
outside. The affair will be divided
into four quarters of five minutes
each, with a five minute intermission
intervening between each quarter.

Outsiders Can't Help ope-Pullers
The Tug-of-war will begin at 4:00
o'clock Friday afternoon, May 19. Sev-
eral new rules Will be in effect dur-
ing this contest also. The contest-
ants for the two sides will both prqb-
ably he wired in from the spectators,
and every effort will he made to pre-
vent any foputside help. ' trict

f 11111 27
Paris, May 13.-After bombardig
the French lines in the sector between
Bois de Avocourt and Hill 304 all last
night the Germans made two attacks
on the left bank of the Meuse today,
one to the west of Hill 304, and the
other in the nature of a surprise at-
tack on the northeast slope of Le
Mort Homme. Both attacks failed
completely.
After these assaults the German
guns lessened the severity of their fire
on the hither bank of the river. On
the west bank and in the Woevre there
was comparative calm all day.
Last night the French made further
progress in the vicinity of Hill 287,
while the Germans gave their atten-
tion to the east bank of the river
renewing their attack on the Fort
Douaumont-Vaux line and the region
of the Bois de la Caillette. These at-
tacks were preceded by a violent ar-
tillery fire, but the French lines were
held at every point and the Germans
were repulsed with serious losses.
After the failure of these attempts
the Germans shifted their attacks
slightly to the west to the north of
Thiaumont Farm. The French fire
blocked all progress.

Shall Ferry field he thrown open
on Sundays?
A canvass of proinent faculty
members yse lyrv aled(iver-
gence of opinion as to whether Michi-
gan students shall follow th>eir in-
divida <1 inclinations with regard to
athletic exercise on Sunday, or wheth-
er the university authorities shall of-
ficially recognize suhproclivities by
throwing ope e to Ferry field
oil the Sabbath.
Owing to the relative recency of the
l scussion, by far the greater number
of men inerrogated refused to com-
mit themselves to either side of the
d(liscUrSsOnt .111nioTi1g th'cze ,tlPiesi-
dent iarry B. utlhins, Den Mor-
tinmer E,. Cooley and Registrar Arthur
Gi Hall. A nmber were inclined to
support half way measures, while the
remainder were either heartily in fa-
vor of the plan or strenuously opposed
to it.
"I have given the matter no serious
thought, but oni first con-sidleration it
seems that, under proper restrictions,
the plan would be bzneficial."-Dean
Henry M. Bates.
"I should not object to seeing Ferry
field open on Sunday afternoons. A
great number of boys go tramping and
canoeing anyway, and I do not see
why they should not be permitted to
exercise their limbs on the university
athletic groundis.:"-Dean J. 0. Schlot-
terbeck.
"I should have no objections to see-
ing Ferry field open on Sunday after-
noons. In fact, I think it E uld be
a good thing for the boys." --Prof. J.

ers was reported today at a rac

Washington, May 13.-The Ameri-
can government has -received unoffi-
cial assurances from the governments
of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Bolivia,
Crugnay and Guatemala, that they will
interpose no objections if the United
Ststes finds it necessary to intervene
in M~exico.
Altiou gliPresident Wilson is deter-
inined to avoid such a step if possible,
the assurances of moral support re-
('ceived from these governmentstare re-
garded as a powerful lever in the dp-
l atic negotiations with Carranza.
This is especially true, inasmuch as
three of these powers joined with the
United States last fall in deciding to
recognize the Carranza government
after a vain appeal for union of the
tvao factions in Mexico.
Inforu ation Anoritative
Although the source of the informa-
Hion cannot be disclosed, it may be
hate d authoritatively that not only
have these six Latin-Anerican powers
signified their willingness to keep
hands of, but also they have gone so
far as to indicate their willingness
to back up the United States with all
the moral support they could muster.
Latiin-mericans Change Attitude
.Throughout the tortuous progress of
Mlexican developments, one of the seri-
ous features to which the administra-
tion attaches faith has been the atti-
tide o the rest of the Latin-Ameri-
ca. republics. Suspicious of the at-'
tcntiois of the United States, Latin-
Aaiuica has looked askance at any-
thin; like the use of coercion on the
part of this country toward any of
the Latin-American republics..
These same six powers during the
Pan--American conference last fall
made it plain in assurances to Gener-
al Carranza that they would not sub-
scribe to any step by the United States
looking to armed intervention in
Mexico. According to the informa-
tion which has been .brought to the
President, there has recently been a
decided change of heart on the part
of the countries in question.
Symnpathze With Americans
Convinced now that the United
States has no ulterior purpose, the
Preident has been advised that 4e
had strained the limits of patience,
and that the American republic had
stood for more from the Mexican* out-
laws than any other country would
have.
Cheered by Obregon Report
Officials of the administration, how-
ever, are still hopeful that interven-
tion can be avoided. They were
greatly encouraged this afternoon by
a report received from Major-General
Scott following the adjournment of
his conference with General Obregon.
The report confirmed the impression
here that while the conference did not

rsult in ny formal agreement, a
tadk understanding was reached
which, unless an untoward incideni
should occur with the naval or mili-
tary forces of the two governments
Wil e acted upon in harmony.
Oe War department received fron
Brigadier-General Pershing today a
report stating that he was carrying
out the orders given him to move his
base further south and shorten his line
