THE MICHIGAN DAILY Varsity Nine Will Meet Tokio University Toda 1ISTERT TO START CONTEST ON MOUND Japanese Boast Good Defensive Aggregation; Fisher Adds to Batting Power. St. Paul's University of Tokio, Japan, will oppose Coach Ray Fish- er's baseball nine this afternoon on Ferry Field, starting at 4 o'clock. The Japanese nine fell to Ohio State last Monday 2 to 1 but are expected to provide stiff opposi- tion for the Wolverine diamod team. Coach Fisher said after yester- day's game that he will start Wist- ert today and will also pitch Trav- erse some and if these two pitchers cannot hold the Japanese in check he will also use Menefee. Tompkins' was originally slated for the mound' duty today, but as he was used in yesterday's game Coach Fisher has been forced to change his pitching choice. Artz in Outfield. Coach Fisher will start Artz, Ferguson, and Petoskey in the out- field. His regular infield of Manuel, Daniels, Waterbor, and Superko, with Diffley behind the bat will also start. The Japanese nine has not been hitting on their American trip but IMPORTANT NOTICE Tennis, baseball, horseshoe, and track participants intend- ing to use Ferry Field on days of baseball games must have their identification card and coupon book.

They have developed one of the best defensive fiine that Fisher expects to meet this season. They are fast on the bases and Mike Diffley expects his hardest day with frequent pegs at the bags. Traverse and Wistert have been instructed to keep the runners close to the bag, but even so the Japanese are expected to steal some bases. { Offense Strengthened. I With the hard-hitting Artz in the outfield Fisher has strengthen- ed his batting power for today's game. Ferguson and Petoskey have not been hitting as good in the games as in practice but they will start today. The St. Paul's team has several colorful performers including their own Babe Ruth and Pepper Martin. Their stick-work is their weakest division but they may surprise the fans with timely base hits.
