The Tigers winning a game is big news even in the grapefruit league inasmuch as it is strictly a case of the well-known man biting the equally w.k. dog as they say in the journalism classes. In fact, I would say that when the Tigers win a game it should be national sporting news and I am hereby recording it. USUALLY the pieces in the Detroit papers regarding the Tigers are devoted to excuses for the 'lads, and how so-and-so did not get a hit be- cause at the time when the final strike crosses the rubber it so hap- pens that he is scratching his left ear . . . or how relief pitcher Oscar Smeech is having trouble with hold- ing his mouth right today so he promptly gets knocked out of the box and practically back to Kanka- kee at one fell swoop. All this may sound as though I doubt the Tigers' ability to' win the pennant that a lot of optimists pre- dict for this year. But it is all due to bitter experience. Detroit is a good baseball town and has a reputation for hauling in good gates, and my own personal reaction to the state of affairs is that the cash customers, so faithful for so long, finally deserve a break. WELL MAYBE they are getting a break this year. Nobody will know until the season is well under, way. After all, you never can tell what will happen even to a bad ball club. Satisticians say that if you put fifty monkeys into a room and set them to pounding fifty typewriters with an unlimited supply of paper, one of them will probably turn out Milton's "Paradise Lost" within the short space of five hundred thou- sand million years or something like that. Of course, the monkeys would all be dead by that time, but maybe the Tigers will crash through this year, anyway. Maranville Breaks His Leg In Exhibition Game ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., March 28. -MP)-Walter (Rabbit) Maranville, veteran Boston Braves infielder, suf- fered a multiple fracture of the left leg today in the eighth inning of the exhibition game between the Braves and New York Yankees. Attempting to score from third on a double steal, Maranville crashed into Norman Kies, Yankee catcher, breaking his left leg between the ankle and knee. Maranville was cred- ited with scoring the run that tied the score at three all. The game was called soon after he was taken to the Mound Park Hospital. The fracture could easily be de- termined before the little veteran was carried from the park. Temporary splints of heavy straw board were placed around the leg pending the arrival of the ambulance. sstroke, Taylor Drysdale; divers, Dick Degener, Der- land Johnston and Frank Fehsenfeld. Indications from the complete entry list as revealed yesterday are that one of the hottest C'ISTY t h r e e cornered RIT races in years will develop between Yale, Southern California, and Mich- igan with no one of these conceded the edge over the others. News that the Trojans were already in the mid- dle west, having left Los Angeles last week, removes the possibility of Michigan and Yale running away with the meet. Other teams that may prove dangerous are Rutgers, Prince- ton, and Northwestern. Stories in the Daily Trojan indi- cate that the far westerners feel that they have the meet in the bag, and well they may, with a well-balanced team headed by Jimmy Gihula, sen- sational sophomore who was just de- clared eligible last week. Gihula, for- mer Detroit Southeastern star, swims every free style event from the 100 to the 440 in near record time, hold- ing records in the 100 and 400 meter events. In other events the Trojans have Kaye, in the backstroke, Paul- son, former Olympic swimmer, in the breaststroke, and Gene Fletcher in the 50-yard sprint. With such an ar- ray of versatile stars the California outfit is bound to have a hot medley relay and their free style relay team is the best on the Coast. When the Big f 1rThree clash in the medley relay it is very probable that a record will fall. HORN Coach Matt Mann will match Drysdale, Lawrence, and Renner against Yale's Pierson, Savell, and Livingstone and Kaye, Paulson, and Fletcher from Southern California. Record May Fall Taylor Drysdale will have his hands full with Kaye and either of these boys may crack the collegiate record of 1:38 for the 150 yard back- stroke. Livingstone will carry the Bulldog hopes in the sprint events against Fletcher and Gilhula of Cali- fornia, and Flachmann, Illinois' Big Ten champion. Paulson, Southern California, and Savell, of Yale, will be after Don Horn's Intercollegiate breaststroke title in what may be one of the .rec- ord breaking events of the meet. In the freestyle distance events Jack Medica, Washington U's one- man swimming team, should have things his own way, although Jim Cristy has a score to settle with this star of the northwest and may take this opportunity. Medica beat Cristy in the invitational mile at the World's Fair last year. Medica and Cristy Taylor Drysdale, Big Ten back- stroke champion, will try to regain the National Collegiate championship at Ohio State next Saturday. Drys- dale won the 154 yard backstroke event in the national meet of 1932, but was ineligible last year. R. Elsworth Is Double Winner In Swim Mee7t The All-Campus swimming meet was held yesterday afternoon in the swimming pool of the Intramural building. No All-Campus records were broken, and only one was tied, when Gould swam the 50 yard breaststroke in :32.8. Robert Elsworth was the most versatile swimmer, taking firsts in the 100 yard freestyle, and the 50- yard backstroke. The following is a summary of the events: 100 yard free style, R. Els- worth, first, S. Bogley, second; time, 1.9.2; 100 yard breaststroke, H. Wil- liam, first, M. Sookne, second, J. Gould, third. Time, 1:18; 50 yard freestyle, R. Ryan, first, R. Low, sec- ond, H. Savitch, third; time, :27; 50 yard backstroke, R. Elsworth, first;, W. Weeks, second; R. Ryan, third; time, :34.8; 50-yard breaststroke, J. Gould, first, M. Sookne, second; time, :32.8; tied All-Campus record. IT'S EARLY YET Hal Trosky, Cleveland first base- man, has been in seven exhibition games, has made 26 trips to the plate, but has a batting avc rage of only .115. should place first and second in the 1,500 meter event, being held in the intercollegiates for the first time this year. In the 440 these two should also stand out, although Gilhula may complicate matters. Fisher To Take Six Hurlers On Training Tour' Mentor Hopes To Be Able To Get Outdoors Before Spring Trip Starts Coach Ray Fisher will take 16 baseball players East on April 8 and4 six of the squad will be pitchers. Since the Varsity nine will play a total of seven games in eight days, it will be necessary to carry this number of hurlers in order that none of the hurling staff will be over- worked during the Eastern trip. Just who the half dozen pitchers will be Coach Fisher has not decided as he hopes to be able to get out-of- doors for two or three days before leaving in order to get a better line on the material. It is hard to determine accurately the capabilities of the players in- doors, Fisher said, because so many baseball men look better after they get outside, and others appear to be Varsity material inside then turn out to be just ordinary players when they finally show their stuff on the field. If the ground is clear of snow be- fore April 8, Fisher is determined to get the squad outside, even if they are only able to work out on the grass. "This is the latest spring I can remember in the 14 years I have been here," Fisher said, "and I'm hoping the weather will clear so we can get out for at least two or three days." The Michigan mentor has a more pressing reason for wanting to get out on South Ferry Field now that George Ford, who was considered al- most a certainty for the hot corner, has broken the small bone in his leg. In order to find some player to fill in at third, Fisher wants to work out on the diamond so he can shift the players around in an effort to deter- mine the best infield combination. Clayt Paulson, who held down third last year until he suffered an injury to his thumb, may be shifted from the catching assignment to the infield. Another possibility for the position vacated by Ford is Russ Oliver, who may get the call when the Wolverines open the 1934 sched- ule against Colgate, April 9. FRIEDMAN SELECTS STAFF Benny Friedman former All-Amer- ican quarterback at Michigan has se- lected the coaching staff which will assist him next year at the College of the City of New York. They are Paul Riblett, former University of Pennsylvania end as end coach, Dr. Joe Alexander, former All-American center at Syracuse as line coach, and Mike Michalske who played profes- sional football with Friedman on the New York Giants as the other line coach.
