He con- tributes the following seven varia- tions of a theme from the Associated1 Press: 1. LOWELL, Mass., March 3I.-(AP) -Local police were called upon toc take action here last night during at wrestling match between Bull Martin and Abe Moskovitch. The grapplers< had one fall apiece and were claw-7 ing exhaustedly for the deciding fallI for a half an hour until police inter- vened. They stated that it was the only human thing to do. 2. LOWELL, Mass., April 1.-Ru- mor here in the police wrestling case has it that some scandal is mixed up in local sport circles. Police, sepa- rating the wrestlers in the Arena last night, found that the tangle in the center of the ring was only one wrestler, who gave his name as Abe- Bull (get it?) Martinvitch. Promot- ers of the bout are being sought. Martinvitch, when disentangled was found to be biting his own toe. 3. LOWELL, Mass., April 3.-Suit was filed here today by Abel Martin- vitch, local wrestler, suing himself for damages and charging mayhem to the big toe of the right foot. Mental anguish was also cited in the suit, which was for $25,000, Attor- ney Flywheel will handle the case. 4. LOWELL, Mass., April 4.-Judge Blugg of Circuit Court here today handed down a decision in the Mar- tinvitch vs. Martinvitch case award- ing Martinvitch $10,000. In hisk opinion, the judged ruled out the, mental anguish portion of the suit on the 'grounds that neither the plaintiff nor the defendant, "had much to brag about in the way of grey matter." Martinvitch paid him- self $10,000 minus the $2,000 which was deducted for the fee of Attorney Flywheel and went away satisfied. 5. LOWELL, Mass., April 5.-Police halted a ping-pong match here this afternoon between Freddie Fether-i Against Normal Ariz Injured As Weatierl Keeps IDiamoud Squad I In Field House Rain and wet grounds kept Michi- gan's diamond squad within the con- fines of Yost Field House yesterday l afternoon for its daily workout. Coach Fisher's charges worked in the nets all afternoon inder the watch- ful eye of the mentor.t One casualty was the result of the cramped quarters in which the play-l ers worked yesterday. Avon Artz, varsity outfielder was hit in the nose and lip with a line drive. A severe nosebleed and a cut lip were the ex- tent of the damage. Darkness Finders Practicc Varsity pitchers and batters were working in the nets at the far end of the enclosure as usual, but the lay was too dark during the space of the afternoon workout for the batsmen to operate very efliciently.1 Fielders worked out in the large space with batted balls on the fast-bound-- ing dirt floor of the Field House giv-' ing them plenty of trouble. On the books for today is a short game, Varsity versus Yannigans, if the weather clears. Few of the horse- hide-chasers are going home for the vacation, although many are plan- ning on commuting between here and Detroit in order to get in shape for the season. Strenuous Workout Tomorrow Tomorrow will see the entire in- field present for a strenuous workout outdoors, and the pitching staff is also expected to turn out in full force. It will be a training practice in which Coach Fisher will keep the boys on the diamond for most of the after- noon chasing batted balls and iron- ing out defects in infield teamwork. Next week, several games are plan- ned with Ypsilanti Normal. The con- tests will probably be held here, with the stipulation that they will be strictly practice affairs, with tryouts for all the men on the two squads.

B LAIRJ THOMAS is now resting comfortably after an operation on his ankle. HiLs foot is in a cast and if the present arrangement proves successful, he will not be forced into another -operation. A bone chipped oi in his ankle andi dropped down under his arch, caus- ing a considerable amount of damage to his heel and arch. Unless the castt can do the work, a delicate operation is in store for the wrestling captain. January 1, 1933 he had his eye punched in. Soon after he recovered from that he succumbed to influenza kor 10 days and then was forced back into bed again for another fortnight Vith the same kind of germs. Then1 down at the Conference meet at Illi- nois his foot was injured. At first it did not hurt but later it did and Thomas reported it to Dr. Lynam who immediately had it x-rayed. Now Thomas is in the hospital, again.
