LY, MARCH 24, 1935 T HE MIChIGAN DAILY t Coach Fisher Pleased With Michigan Nine Infield Composed Of Ford, Oliver, Teitlebaum, And Paulson Works Well Coach Ray Fisher dropped his pessimistic outlook yesterday for a semi-optimistic disposition and left the ball diamond after practice in a better frame of mind than he's been in all week. In the fourth scrub game with the Reserves, his Varsity nine convinced him of several points which he's suspected all along. The infield, com- posed of Capt. Russ Oliver at first, Clayt Paulson, second, George Ford, short, and Jack Teitelbaum at the hot corner, worked like one of those "million dollar infields." The boys pro- vided an impregnable defense, com- mitting only two errors in 11 innings and turning several drives, which were labeled hits, into outs. Infield Outstanding Coach Fisher was so well pleasec with their performance that he inti- mated the present combination wouk be a permanent one. The batting packed a punch whi had been lacking in the three pre vious contests. John Regeczi caugh an inside pitch with his powerfu swing and lined it down the left- field line for an easy homer. Teitel- baum rapped out a double and twc singles. Ford continued his hitting spree with two hard-hit singles Paulson abandoned his Heinie Schu- ble stance at the plate long eonugh to smash out a long triple, and Joe Lerner hit a couple on the nose. The pitching served up by Berger Larson elicited favorable comment from Fisher. From what he showed yesterday, in four innings against the Varsity, Larson has good control. a fast ball which is fast, a sharp curve,-and he knows how to use his stuff. He had the sluggers popping up and fanning, being combed for only one hard hit. Heyliger Improved Vic Heyliger was behind the plate again, and looked better than he did his first appearance. Kim Williams. who is the man to beat out for the catching post, is showing daily im- provement. Yesterday he actually caught one runner stealing second by 10 yards. Berryman, Parker and Aus- tin were also behind the bat during the afternoon. With Heyliger catching, Joe Lerner was moved to right field, and it's prob- able that the latter will be the reg- ular rightfielder if he continues t hit. Lerner is also a first baseman, where he will play when and if Russ Oliver pitches. George Rudness, centerfielder, who is more commonly known as "the lit- tle giant" is dead on fly balls and uses his speed to cover a lot of ground.. He hasn't started to hit yet, and has a sore arm, which developed during the basketball season, but he looks like the ideal man for the leadoff spot in the batting order; with his speed he doesn't have to hit "em" far to get on base. All this talent exhibited in a single day should make the most dubious person hopeful. Dodgers Pound T i g e r Hurlers For 12-4 Win LAKELAND, Fla., March 23 -(AP)- Showing no preference between two veteran hurlers and a rookie, the Brooklyn Dodgers pounded out a 12 to 4 decision over the Detroit Tigers today. Paced by Lonny Frey, who cracked out a home run, double and single, the Dodgers got to Fred Marberry for six hits and four runs in three in- nings, found Elden Auker for four more runs in the next five frames and then finished up by scoring four runs off rookie Mike Cesnovar in the ninth. Frey also fielded brilliantly, starting four double plays. Tom Zachary and Watson Clark heldithe American League champions to nine hits, only four of them and oire run coming off the former dur- ing the five innings he was on the mound. It was the second victory of the Dodgers over the Tigers in the grape- fruit league and leaves the Dodgers' record unblemished in major league competition this season.

A sports writer, certainly, can make m impetuous ball player look small- *r than a fly's eye, and have ten mil- ion of us snowbound northerners be- ieving it. The parallel cases of Bill terry last summer and Dizzy Dean this spring are good evidence. People still pop up from strange ;orners and yell at Terry, "Are the Dodgers still in the League?" Terry ioesn't need any reminders after hat last disastrous series with Brook- yn last fall. Likewise, Dean will go nany a moon before he ceases to .ead and hear about the reverbera- tions from his "smart-eleck" crackE Tbout the revered "King of Swat." The scribes, incidentally, are the boys who keep alive these li't- tle squabbles which make good copy on dull days. Most people would have forgotten the Med- wiclgOwen battle on the seventh game of the World Series long ago if Salsinger, Shaver, Ward, and the rest of the fraternity hadn't fanned the embers. Med- wick's unpopularity in Detroit makes good copy out of his yell- ing at reporters and refusing to pose for a "kiss-and-make-up" picture with Marvin Owen. It seems to me that Medwick was "Ducky" to his intimates long before that seventh game, but Bud Shaver insists it was given to him for the graceful way he doged pop bottles and pies during the left field uprising. The Detroit boys should get togeth- er on their Sunday stories out of the Tigers' spring camp. If you read the papers last Sunday you noticed that Shaver raved for a column .or more about the stellar reserve infield ma- terial Cochrance had uncovered. The same day H. G. Salsinger was writ- ing very emphatically that the Tiger reserves were no great shakes at eith- vr batting or fielding, and that the Bengals had better hang all sorts of good-luck charms on the regulars if they didn't want to emulate the 1935 Red Wings. BABE RUTH would be worth men- tion every day if he were hoeing potatoes on a Norwegian fjord or sew- ing shirts in a Ghetto sweat-shop.

A FRIEND tells us that our horse racing column yesterday was not ^omplete without this stoiy: It seems that an employee in a downtown cig- ar store gave a hanger-on around here $20 to place, for him, on a cer- tain horse at an adjacent cigar store. The bet was duly laid and the nag galloped home ahead of the field, pay- ing some magnificent sums. The bet- tor was, needless to say, elated, and sent his lieutenant back to gather in he shekels. He did, all right, but lid not return with the 100 berries o cigar store No. 1. He hasn't been seen since. By GEORGE J. ANDROS When Michigan's swimming team takes to the water next Friday at Harvard for the preliminaries to the National Collegiate championship meet, Coach Matt Mann's tankmen1 will be after their sixth national title in nine years. The Wolverines have been national -hanpions in 1927, 1928, 1931, 1932, and 1934, and finished second to Northwestern in 1929, 1930, and 1933. Coach Mann plans to take east only those men who have a good hance to place, andthe showing made by the Wolverines in the Big Ten meet indicate that Michigan will again be victorious. The 1932 National Collegiate meet was held at Ann Arbor and the Wolv- srines came through in their home pool to score 34 points and upset Stanford, the' favorites, by three counters. Schmieler Won Twice In 1932 Johnny Schmieler in the breast- troke and 220-yard free-style, Drys- iale in the back-stroke, and the med- .ey relay team of Drysdale. Louie Le- nak, and Bob Ladd supplied the Wolverines with first places in this neet. Dick Degener was nosed out >f the diving by "Mickey Riley" Gal- itzen, and Jim Cristy took second place in the 1500-meter and third in 'he 440-yard free-style events, Frank Kennedy in the 1500 and the sprint relay quartet came through with fourths to complete the Michigan scoring. In 1933 at Yale the Wolverines fell 'elow their standard of the previous vear and scored only 18 points, three 'ehind their Big Ten rivals, North- western, whom Coach Mann's swim- mers had defeated in the Conference meet. Degener furnished the only victory for Michigan at New Haven, Cristy was second in the quarter-mile, and Lemak third in the breast-stroke, to- gether with the medley trio. Schmie- ler in the 100-yard free-style, Fred Fenske in the diving, and Kennedy in the 440 supplied fourth places. Won Easily Last Year Last year the Wolverines regained their title in Ohio State's pool, piling up 30 counters to 18 for Southern California and 15 each for Yale and Washington, the latter school repre- sented only by; Jack Medica, who took three first places. Degener won the diving for the sec- ond straight year, Drysdale won the Grid Squad Moves Outside Tomorrow Michigan's football squad will hold its first outdoor drill of the spring tomorrow afternoon on Ferry Field, providing weather conditions remain favorable. The squad will work outside every day but Sundays until the latter part of the week because of midesmester examinations.
