CLASS TENNIS TES
Detroit, May 25.-(By A.P.)--Tyrus
Raymond Cobb,. variously yclept "The
Peerless One" and "The Georgia
Peach," is not yet among the bench
manager class, despite his a3 years
and the thinning hairs on his head.
Frequent predictions, first heard when
he succeeded Hughie Jennings as
manager of the Detroit Tigers two
years ago, that he was through as a
player, have failed of fulfillment.
Leader is Crafty
the destinies of the 1923 Tigers from
the player who flashed among the
major league constellations in 1905,
gaining in brilliancy and renown un-
til in 1921 he became a .420 batter.
The speed that gave Cobb a new major
league record for stolen bases in 1915,
with a total of 98,. is waning, but in
its place has come craftiness, and
because he had so much speed to lose,
he still is a great outfielder, still a
dangerous man on the paths.
At bat, he is the same "Peach." His
eye seems as clear as in his earlier
days when he was the bugbear of all
pitchers in the league. He continues,
to meet the ball squarely, andahis fac-
ulty of d'riving the ball out of reach ofr
the fielders seen greater, if anything,,
Sthis year than ever.
Continues as Player
From the start of this season he has
had the Tigers among the league lead-
ers. Close followers of the game have
seen in Detroit the principal menace to
the New York Yankees in this season's
race. Cobb's heavy artillery is con-;
ceeded to be the equal of the New York
glub's "murderers' row," and his pitch-
ing staff, considered the principal
weakness of the club, has shown sur-
prisingly well during the first month,
the veteran Dauss especially appear-
ing near the peak of his form.
Some critic see indications that
Cobb may direct his club from the
bench soon, in the acquisition of two
slugging recruits, Fothergill and Man-
ush, both of whom. have been used
effectively this year, but Cobb smiles
and continues to tale his - stand in
centerfield.
Illini Seconds
Yost Statement
The Daily Illini last Friday con-
tained a story under the head "F. H.
Yost Opposes East-West Games,"q
which gave the reasons as Coach Yost
saw them why Michigan is not send-
ing her team to the Eastern collegiate
track meet which is being held at
Philadelphia yesterday and today.
These are essentially the same
points as outlined by the coach at theI
track pep meeting held Friday, May
11, in Hill auditorium, when he repliedI
to thd criticism of the Maize and Blue
team's going East.1
"Michigan's athletic opponents," hea
declared, "are in the middle west,
particularly in the Western Confer-
ence. The whole matter resolves it-
self as before, to the natural and
most feasible selection of opponents.
We know each other in the middlet
,west and we can readily reach each
other. .There is mutual regard among
us. Perhaps in the East we would
be strangers."
Hold Final Range Practice Today
Membes of the R. 0. T. C. will hold
the final range practice of the year
tat 9 o'clock this morning on the eR.
0. T. C. rifle raie. Firing at 200, 300
and 500 yards slow fire will comprise
the schedule for today.' All wishing to
1 participate in the practice should re-
port -to the R. 9. T. C. office at 9
o'clock this morning.

TRIP MONDAY AS END NEARS
Elated over the Wolverine victory
from Illinois Thursday afternoon.
Michigan's Varsity baseball team
went through a snappy practice ses-
sion on Ferry field yesterday in pre-
paration for the game with Western
State Normal college of Kalamazoo
this afternoon.
With the defeat of the Indians, Mich-
igan practically clinched the chain-
pionship title of the Big Ten 'or the
present season. The Varsity lAs only
three more games to play, and is al-
most certain to win at least two of
them.
Buckeyes second
Ohio State, who is now resting int
second place in the race for Confer-
ence honors will face the Wolverines
Monday on the Buckeye diamond at
Columbus and if Coach Fisher's men
come through with another victory
over 0. S. U. they are assured of top
honors in the Conference. Ohio State
'has already lost one game to 'Michi-
gan, her only defeat of the season,
but the Buckeye schedule is not as
long as that of Michigan so that even.
losing the game Monday, the Maize
and blue could stand another defeat
at the hands of Northwestern or Wis-
consin, who are yet to be played, and
still remain at the head of the stand-
Today's contest should be more in
the nature of a practice tilt then a1
tight game. While the Normalites hold
a 9-0 victory over Minnesota they have
done nothing else this year to show
any semblance of a real aggregation.
Michigan already has one victory to
her credit over the Celery City team,
nat'ing defeated them on their home
diamond on the last road trip of the
Wolvernes.
Regulars to Start
The Varity line-up will probably
be almost the same as that which
handed the Ilhini their trimming
Thursday. Coach Fisher will no doubt
use plenty of second stingg men if
Michigan puts the game on ice in the
early innings but it seems almost cer-
tain that the regular combination will
get the call at the start of the fra-
cas.
"Fisher has not yet selected his
choice for mound duty against Kala-
mazoo but the chances are that it will'
fall to. Pat O'Hara, Stryker, or Noon-

them taking a tun in the box.
Owing to his recent injuries it may
be that Shackleford will be given a
rest with Dillman taking the initial

will be composed of the first string

Uteritz and Haggerty in the infield
