THE MICHIGAN DAILY _ 20 PITCHERS FIGHT FOR REGULARi TASTY DUTY ARE BEING GROOMED BY FISHER TO MEET SEASONED DIXIE NINES Hampered by the inclemency of the weather Coach Fisher was forced to limit yesterday's practice to battery men alone. The Michigan, mentor is of the opinion that the Wolverines' chances this year depend largely upon the ability of the pitching staff to be in the best of condition when the Confer- ence season opens. Unfavorable weath- er conditions have thus far worked a serious handicap upon the mounds- men for they have been unable to sat-. isfactorily try their arms out duringM the full route of a nine inning game, a feat they will be called upon to do before the Southern trip ends. With a schedule of nine gimes to be play- ed within the short space of 10 days the Wolverines will be faced with a serious problem in the matter of twir- lers. Coach Fisher realizes the need of having his men primed for the heavy road trip that will face them April3 7 to 17, and is bending every effort. to condition his pitching staff before they are forced to meet teams that have been on the outdoor diamondi for more than a month. One redeeming feature of Michigan'sl plight is the abundance of mound material that Coach Fisher has to work with. More than a score of hurl- ers are working out daily and no less than eight of these men will rjaake ser- ious bids for Varsity positions. WithI the date set for the trip fast ap- proaching there is a marked increase in the competition among the mounds- men as well as among the other play- ers. No defin;ite announcements have been made by the coach as to how many battery men he will carry, but from the history of previous trips it is safe to guess that no more than two' catchers and five pitchers will makej the trip. Captain Vick and Blatt are certain to be named for tlie receiving duties which Dixon, Liverance and Shultz seem reasonably sure to be numbered among the pitchers with Elliott, Mudd, Smith, Noonan, Stryker, Baker and O'Hara left to fight it out for the remaining two or three places. Fisher is working with all of these men giving them valuable pointers from his long expedience as to some of the tricks boxmen should know. The majority of the hurlers have shown vastimprovement under personal instruction given them by Coach Fisher and their various type's of delivery are being slowly reshaped and made moro effective by the appli- cation of time and effort to Fisher's methods. WET WEATHER HANDICAPS- . ARSITY TEN IS SQUAD Poor weather has proved more than a little handicap to aspirants for Michigan's tennis team. Since the first, call for canididates, issued some three weeks ago, the racquet-wielders have encountered but few ideal days for play and, as a result, have failed to get the most of these few weeks set aside for the general purpose of con- ditioning before the spring recess. Men Need Practice Coach Walter K. Wesbrook is an- xious to have the men who have Var- sity aspirations in the best of condi- tion for the grind that will follow im- mediately after tlie recess period, for it is then that the competitive matches will determine the personnel of the team will begin. He asks that all of the candidates get in as' much prac- 'tice on the concrete courts as they possibly can before vacation that they may be at their best for the matches which are to follow.

State St. (hicago, Ill. About 20 men have turned out for practice thus far. Many of this num- her show great promise and yet, there' is suffiicient opportunity for any nunm- ber of others, who have theinclina- tion, to come out to show their wares. It is hoped that more men, will make their appearance during the course of the next two weeks. The schedule for the season is in the making, and the team is assured a worthy list of matches, including an extensive East- ern trip. Two Veterans Out Among the candidates best known to the campus who have been working out are .aptain Merkle and George Reindel, both members of' the 19211 team, Julian L. Zemon and F. Wor- cester, a duo who have been awarded AMA's, Rorich, the winner of the 1921 'All-campus tournament, Sanchez, Kline and Shaefer. It is practically impossible to pass judgment on - the merits of these men at this early stage, yet, all present indications point toward a fair tennis team for the Maize 'and Blue this. year.
