TWO INFIELOERS PICKED BY BISEBALL MENTOR PITCHERS WORKED CONSTANTLY THROUGH HARD HOUR OF PRACTICE Two lineups for infields were worked out by Coach Lundgren yesterday aft- ernoon in Waterman gymnasium. In- side practice necessitates that only in- field and battery practice take place. Most of the space on the floor is de- voted to infield work, the batteries occupying the room along the side. The team is coming through in fine shape and every moment spent in ob- serving the practice convinces the on- looker that Michigan can be reason- ably safe in counting on as good a baseball team as it has seen for some time. Practices Smooth The smoothness with which the twd infields practiced yesterday should Iii itself be reassuring. The Coach was obliged to stop the proceedings only occasionally to correct a mistake in form. The first of the two temporary in- fields consisted of Huber as catcher, Adams at first base, Knode at second base, Van Boveni at shortstop and Gar- rett at third. Knode, the captain of the team,' won a letter last year at shortstop but was placed at second yesterday, the vacancy at the short-' stop position being filled by Vail Bov- ent, who once cinched a berth' on the All-fresh. Garrett was moved to third from second where he was used last season. Adams at first base seemed to be in as good form as ever, with the same knack of picking up the grounders. r day Be Black Horse Huber is the man that appears to be the black horse, This man was, in the University last year but did not come out for the freshman dia- mond stunts so his entrance in the Varsity competition at this time was unheralded. He is now hailed as be- ing one of the best men who is try-; ing out for the home plate job. Other catching candidates who are. practicing daily are Schluntz, Hayes and Cohn. The last named, the big football star,has during the year shown: a ver- satility in sports* that is unusual. This is the third appearance he has made, The seconds of the infields was composed of Schluntz as catcher, Langenham at first base, Pheney at second, Labadie at shortstop, Fromke at third. Schluntz is another man 'who is in the -close run for cthn honors and has an ease in handling the ball which will count a great deal in tils favor. Langenham's officiating at first base has no particular sig- nificance, it is thought, his function being the filling out of the lineup tem- porarily. His regular position is in the outfield. Pheney Did Well Pheney did well during the after- non at second, while Labadie showed up particularly in pegging the ball over to Langenham with deadly accu- racy. Fromke, although he has been out of the game for two years, is lworking in fine form. In the battery workouts, incessant drill was kept up all of the afternoon. Every aspirant pitcher was putting himself through his best paces. As soon as the squad can start in at Ferry field, hard daily practices will be conducted to get the men into shape for the'first contest of the year with Ypsilanti Noraml on April 16. TRACKSTERS READY FOR MEET TONIGHT .Headed by Captain Sedgwick and Manager Clarke the second half of the track team, the men in the field events and the mile and two milers, left for Northwestern Friday morning. The squad was in the best of spirits in anticipation of a victory tonight. The meet is expected toybe close and result in some fast races, especially in the two mile and pole vault, where heavy opposition to the Michigan en- tries is looked for. Moore of Chicago, has been running well in that the long distance and won that race from Northwestern in good time. GYM TO END WEEK PRIOR TO J -- HOP Dr. May announos that gym classes will undoubtedly conclude next week. The classes are usually continued un- til spring vacation, but on account of the preparations for the J-Hop, they will end one week earlier. The classes have been unusually large this semester because of the return of many of the freshmen and sophomores who did not finish their required gym- nasium work. BASEBALL DI1AMONI) STILT TOO SOFT FOR PRACTICES Ferry field will soon be open to Coach Lundgren and his athletes for baseball practice. The diamond is in good condition, the winter weather leaving only a few low spots. The ground is still too soft for practice, however, on account of a number of recent rains. The stands are still closed, and probably will not be opened until after spring, vacation. WIEMAN NOT TO RETURN TO SCHOOLNEXT YEAR IS FILLING POSITION OF PHYSI- CAL DIRECTOR IN WEST It has been reported that Tad Wie- man, ex-'19, football captain in ab- sentia last fall, will not return to school this year. He left the Uhiver- sity last year to go to an army train- ing camp. At present Wieman is a physical director in a Los Angelos high school where he expects to stay at least through the spring of 1920. Tad Wieman has had a brilliant ca- reer on the Michigan gridiron. During the. 1916 season he played on the line and in 1917 in the backfield. Because of his remarkable record he was elect- ed captain of the team for the fall of 1f18. He was unable to fill this posi- tion, however, going to a training camp b'efore school opened this fall. The news that Wieman will not, re- turn will necessitate the coach changing his plans for he had ex- pected Wieman to play a big part in next fall's football program.
