EXPECT PITCHING DUEL
Coach Ray Fisher's new infield
combination will receive its first act-1
ual test today in the opening game of
the Syracuse series, which will be
played on the Ferry field diamond.
The contest will begin at 4:05 o'-
clock.
Van Lenglen, a southpaw, is due to
face Don Miller, Michigan's fast ball.
pitcher, in a game that should do-
velop into a pitching dual if the prop-
er support is given the hurlers, as
they have both been credited with
sterling performances in the contests
in which they have worked this sea-
son. Van Lenglen turned in his best
exhibition of hurling against Virginia
Polytechnic in the opening game of
the season. The teams played a 2-2
tie, darkness causing the umpire to
c'all the game in the 11th inning.
While Syracuse boasts a strong in-
field- and good pitching talent, the Ne*
York team's outfielders are only aver-
age on the defense and with the ex--
ception of Peck, have failed to do
mbuch as hitters.
The Syracuse team will arrive in
town this morning from Lansing,
where they met Michigan State col-
lege yesterday, after tomorrow's con-
test the team will return home. Coach
Lew Carr, of the Syracuse team, is a
former big league star and a friend
of Ray Fisher, Michigan's coach. In
an effort to repeat his double win of
las.t year over his former American
league opponent, Carr is saving his
two best hurlers for the Michigan
series.
Schlegel who will pitch tomorrow's
game is the better of the two mounds-
men, having set the Army down with
five hits in his last start, while his
team-mates were gathering nine runs
to give him an easy victory over the
West Point nine.
In addition to the pitchers duel
which is expected to develop in to-
day's game, there is an added feature

meet his closest rival of the year inl
Eisemann, who does the receiving for
the Easterners. Syracuse fans regard
him as the best fielding catcher who
has ever played with a Syracuse nine.
He is also classed as a reliable hit-

Victor Hanson, captain of last years
basketball team and leader of next
season's grid squad, will be at third
base for Syracuse.
Loren Murchison will not be able to
defend his British sprinting champion-
ship because of the call of business.
His injured tendon is well, however.

TISTEAM AGAINYICTORIOUS,
, BLANKING DETROIT SQUAD 7 TO 0
(By Associated Press)
NEW YORK, April 28.-Preliminary
skirmishes behind the scenes designed
to produce a heavyweight champion-
ship battle on the fistic front this sum-
mer proceeded today with Promoter
Tex Rickard and Billy Gibson, mana-
ger of Gene Tunney, the central fig-
ures in another conference. . 1
Observers trained their ears in an-
ticipation of significant developments
but when the conferees emerged to
meet questions as to whether they had I
agreed on a Dempsey-Tunney title,
fight for September, their joint replyt
was:
"We haven't reached any definite)
conclusions yet but we hope to get the1
boys out of the trenches by Christ-
mas."
No Details Disclosed
Neither the promoter nor the ex-t
marine's manager would disclose the
details of their conference but inter-
viewers on hand presumed it marked;
another step in the generally expected
plan to put Tunney in the ring with'
Dempsey somewhere around Septem-j
ber 16 in the Yankee stadiuh.;
Meanwhile the correspondents look-
ed forward to further developments
when Rickard goes before the State
Athletic commission, possibly to be
questioned about his deal in signing
Dempsey to a contract at Fort Worth,
Texas, and possibly to seek support
in his efforts, so far ineffectual, to
bring Jack Delaney to terms for a
light-heavyweight title fight with Paul
Berlenbach at the Yankee stadium
June 10.
Gibson confirmed the report that he
had sgined a blank contract binding
Tunney to meet any opponent, any,
time, anywhere, under Rickard's pro-
motion.
"We prefer Dempsey, of course," he
said, "But if he isn't available Rick-
ard has a perfect right,' under the
terms of our agreement, to matchk
Wills."
Tunney In California
Gibson said Tunney was now in
California working on a motion pic-
ture and would not return to New
York before July 1.
Rickard said his mission to the com-
mission involved only his application
for a license to operate at the Yankee
stadium this summer and a renewal
of the license for Madison Square Gar-
den which expires next month.
"And I'll ask the Commission to
' force Delaney to keep a verbal agree.-
ment with me concerning the Ber-
lenbach match," lie said:
Asked what he would -say if the
Commission attempted to interrogate
him on his trip to Fort Worth to sign
Dempsey, Rickard said:-
"I'll tell them I signed Dempsey to
a blank contract but I'm not yet ready
to reveal my plans for him."
Michigan To Meet HIawkeyes On TrackI
For First Time In -History
Of Schools
22 MEN TO MAKE TRIP
Accompanied by Coach Stephen J.
Farrell, Manager Robert Grab, and a,
trainer, Michigan's Varsity track
squad, consisting of 23 men, will leavea
at 3:49 o'clock this afternoon for Iowa3
City, where they will meet the strong
Hawkeye cinder men, holders of the;
Conference indoor championship, in a
dual meet.
This is the first time that a Wol-
verine team will meet an Iowa team1
on the track, the only time these]
schools having met before being in the7
annual Conference meets, and various
open carnivals throughout the coun-
try.
The team will arrive in Iowa City
at 7:30 o'clock tomorrow morning and
will rest up for the meet, which will
be held that afternoon. They will
leave on the return trip at 11:58 o'-
clock tomorrow night and will ar-
rive in Ann Arbor at 3:28 Q'clock
Sunday afternoon.
Coach Bresnahan of the Iowa squad,
has been working this week mostly'
with his hurdlers and distance men.
Phelps and Boice are the hurdlers of
last year who are back, and added to
these are Cuhel, holder of the world's
interscholastic record in the 220 low
hurles, and Beatty and Whelan.
All the Iowa distance men have
been working on the mile during the
outdoor season, and Coach Bresnahan
will place some of these in the two
mile event. Hunn and Speers are the
logical men in the longer run, while
Elliot, Van Ness and March will be
used in the mile.
For the first time this season Iowa
will concentrate all her strength in
the weight events in one meet. Mich-
igan showed up better in the weights
in outdoor meets this year than the
Hawkeyes, but with the addition of
Captain Dauber, who competed at the
Penn relays, and Earl Williams, crack
hammer tosser; -the' Old Gold squab
will be strengthened considerably.
Contrary to yesterday's announce-
ment in The Daily, which stated that
Lovette was to make the trip, Coach
Farrell has decided that Northrup and
Roth will .be the sole -entries in the
javelin, while Munz and Doyle will
compete in the shot. In the latter
event Michigan has a chance for only
two places, for Dauber is one of the
best shot putters in the Conference,
having won this event at the indoor
Conference meet.
It is expected that the meet will be
hard fought throughout, and the win-
ping team will not hold a large mar-
gin over its opponent.

State.
Olian continued his good tennis to
win handily from Francois 6-1, 6-2.
He had matters well in hand from
start to finish, and his steadiness has
been a feature of early season compe-
tition.
Michigan met practically no oppo-
sition in the doubles, each pair taking
a love set. Krickbaum and Crane
won from Devine and Shapero in easy
fashion, 6-0, 6-3, while Vose and
Stephens found even easier opponents
in French and Erwin whom they bur-
ied 6-0, 6-1. Neither Titan team seem-
ed at all able to cope with the ag-
gressive game displayed by the Mich-
igan men. Both Wolverine teams
worked well together and took the net
throughout the matches.

Michigan Golfers
To Play Buckeyes
In First Matches,
Four University of Michigan golfers' -
left at 9 o'clock last night for Colum-
bus where they will play the Ohio'
State golf team tomorrow. Matches
will be played on the Sciota Country
club course which will be the site of
the national open tourney this year.
Tryouts were held yesterday after-
noon to determine what two men were
to accompany Capt. Fred Feely and
Ralph Cole, who had already been
named to make the trip. Addison
Conner and Fred Glover were the men
chosen. Connor played the 18 holes -
in 78 while Glover took an 83. Bob
Newman trailed Glover by a single
stroke having an 84.
On account of the high caliber of
the four golfers on this year's squad,
the Wolverines are expecting a vic-
tory. Freely and Glover are veteran
stars of last year's team and are ex-
pected to play some of the best golf
in the Conference this season. Glov-
er is not yet in form, and Cole and
Connor are sophomores, who are -two
of the best prospects on the- squad.
The only factor working against the
Michigan entries is the lack of out-
door practice. I .+
Zachary Wheat, star left fielder of
'the Brooklyn team, is the highest sal-
aried member of the teai, receiving
$16,000.
