THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE PAGE Ruth's Homer, Dean 's Injury Feature Big League Openers Detroit-Chicago Opener Stopped By Chilly Blasts Babe Ruth Accounts For Four Runs With Homer And Single Cubs Beat Cards Dizzy Dean Suffers Leg Injury In First Inning; Red Sox Beat Yanks, 1-0 (By Associated Press) For the fifth time in seven years, frowning weather prevented all clubs in the major leagues taking part in baseball's annual inaugiral today. Wintry blasts kept President Roose- velt on the sidelines and his tradi- tional tossing out of-the first ball was withheld as the Senators had to postpone their opener with the Ath- letics in Washington. Mickey Coch- rane's defending American League champions, the Detroit Tigers, were forced to abandon their start against the White Sox in Detroit because of cold. RUTH STARS IN DEBUT BOSTON, Apil 16.- (P) - With Babe Ruth driving out a home run and a single and personally account- ing for all of Boston's runs, the Braves today defeated the New York Giants 4 to 2 as the former Yankee slugger made his National League debut be- fore a shivering crowd of 25,000. DEAN HURT AS CUBS WIN CHICAGO, April 16. -(P) -Dizzy Dean suffered a painful leg injury in the first inning -of his 195 debut today and the Chicago Cubs defeated the world's championship St. Louis Cardinals, 4 to 3, before 15,500 shiv- ering spectators. Doc Weaver, Cardinal trainer, said he was sure the injury at worst was a slight bruise of the tibia bone a little above the left ankle. FERRELL SUBDUES YANKS NEW YORK, April 16. --() -The new model, stream-lined Yankees, looking impotent indeed without Babe Ruth in the line-up, yielded to the superb pitching of Wesley Ferrell to- day in a frigid opening tussle With the Boston Red Sox. With brother Rick Ferrell on the re- ceiving end of baseball's most famous family battery, the North Carolina right-hander held' the New Yorkers to two hits, out-pitched the Great Vernon (Lefty) Gomez, the American League's leading flinger, and gained a brilliant 1-0 decision.

American Association Headed For Big Year CHICAGO, April 16 -(P)- Joining in the general optimism for a big baseball year, both artistically and financially, the American Association, with the same eight clubs which started back in 1902, opens its thirty-, fourth championship campaign. The playoff system, under which the leader of the Western Division of the league met the top team in the Eastern section for the title, has been dropped, but President Thomas Jef- ferson Hickey is certain that the campaign will be even more success- ful than last year A Ten Frosh Swimmers Get Numeral Awards Ten members of the freshman swimming squad were awarded numeral sweaters, it was an- nounced by Coach Matt Mann yesterday Numeral winners are: John F. Harris, Detroit; Russell S. Strick- land, Detroit; Leonard Dworsky, Chicago; Harry A. Rieke, Chi- cago; Richard C. Gearheart, Ann Arbor; John G. Young, Ann Ar- bor; Robert S.

Baseball Team Back Indoors Following Trip Fisher Voices Hope After Only Fair Showing On Southern Campaign The Wolverine' baseball team showed improvement on its recent spring training trip, but rain and, in one case, snow, which caused can- cellation of four of the nine games originally scheduled, arrested de- velopment on the whole and in the hitting department in particular, Coach Ray Fisher said yesterday. The mentor, who restricted practice to light workouts for the batteries within . the confines of Yost Field House yesterday, had more of a bone to pick with the weather his boys ran into rather than with the per- formance of hi team. Two of the five games played were won, Art Patchin and Berger Larson deservedly being credited with the wins, while John Gee, Capt. Russ Oliver, and Larson lost a game apiece. Larson and Patchin looked best. The former lost a tough game to Duke University, 4 to 0, the score of which would have been 1 to 0, Fisher indi- cated, if better fielding support had been given. At bat the Wolverines could get only one hit off Pete Nak- tenis, a single by Lerner on a hit and run play. , Patchin was hard to hit, allowing but two hits against Marshall in the opener to win 8 to 3, but he was wild throughout the game and in others. He and Larson teamed up against Navy, allowing but two hits apiece to gain a 3 to 1 victory when Williams doubled to drive in two runs in the eighth. The Michigan hitters failed to get started, however, not one batter hav- ing a "big day" in any of the games. Only two, Oliver and Kim Williams, sophomore catcher, were able to bat .300. Both averaged a hit a game, Oliver batting .312 and Williams, .333. Two of Williams' hits were doubles. Of those to show most improvement Fisher pointed out Kim Williams, who caught every game on the south- ern jaunt. He led his mates as a hitter, winning one game with a timely blow, but more especially his improvement in nipping base run- ners pleased his coach. Although Jack Teitelbaum and George Rudness were the weakest hit- ters, they starred in the field. Teitel- baum at short pulled two brilliant fielding plays to get pitchers out of bad holes, and Rudness established himself as the best fielding outfielder in the outer garden. OLYMPICS TAKE TITLE VANCOUVER, B. C., April 16. -P) - The Detroit Olympics packed the unofficial title of minor league hockey champions in their bags today to leave behind a crew of disgruntled Vancouver Lions. I i, ' 4 rI STAR DUST By ART CARS-FENS ,mA. F' I. fi NEXT in our series on "Sports1 Which Are Not Sports" we take up the matter of hitch-hiking, lowly pastime of the proletarian who would get from where he is to somewhere hence. Of course, it is a little embar- rassing to waggle a beseeching digit at snooty motorists, but "share the wealth" is one of the first precepts of Communism and, after all, aren't we all Commu- nists in this hotbed of radicalism? Personally, I am not above join- ing the hoi polloi on Broadway Bridge when I want a ride to Detroit and haven't the essential kale. Most knights of the errant thumb will agree with me that we give as much, as we get. Our continual chatter is worth the price of a railway ticket to Detroit or, when necessary, we can listen with the utmost concentration to everything from reminiscenses of college days in the '90's to how the new baby is doing on a diet of ruta- bagas and hossenpfeffer. Everytime I get my baggage and feet satisfactorily bestowed in some- body else's car I start to unreel a line of guff about football prospects for the coming season. You know, Kipke and me, both good advertisers. Just before school started last fall I rode from Battle Creek to Kalama- zoo with an aged country gentleman in his battered ark. We had plenty of time to talk, and I gave him the usual 15 minute monologue on how Kipke's team wouldn't be "quite as strong as last year" but carry plenty of guns to get through the season un- defeated. As I recall the old farmer didn't say a word all the way to Kala- mazoo, but when we neared the center of that city he reached across me and opened 'the door, saying, "Bah, I graduated from Michigan Agricultural College in '93. What the hell do I care about your football team!" Luck- ily he had no lethal weapon available. Another time, two years ago, I bummed out from Detroit with an- other wayfarer whom I picked up on the corner of Plymouth Road and Grand River. Once again I slipped naturally into football as the driver slipped into high gear after packing us away. I was in good form that day, and had the 1933 Wolverines doped to be a pack of cougars wielding sledge hammers and greased lightning, but my compatriot kept making slight' corrections in my statements of fact. He was obviously a student, a tall, hollow-cheeked fellow, who looked as though he had risen from a sick bed to return to school. His impertinent, but always ac- curate, interruptions continued as my tale unfolded. Finally I turned to him and whispered, "Say, my name is Kipke, Harry Kipke. What's yours?" "Tage Jacobson." I shut up because I knew, if you didn't, that Jacobson was an out- standing tackle prospect that fall. Grid Squad Is Sent Through Drill Indoors Spring Training Period To End May 3 With Annual Spring Game Weather, more like the end of the regular season than that of a spring practice session, forced Coach Harry Kipke and his charges into the con- fines of Yost Field House yesterday. The squad was sent through a._long passing drill followed by work on fun- damentals. The drill was marked by the return to action of Steve Remias, Cedric Sweet and Steve Uricek. Sweet and Remias are both fullbacks and shared the Varsity post last season. Remias started the season in the first-string backfield but Sweet displaced him in one of the many shake-ups which the squad endured and held the position until the end of the season. Uricek was the regular quarterback on Coach Weber's Phys. Ed. eleven. Sweet played a consistently good defensive game all year and showed his offensive power in the Georgia Tech game by running from the Mich- igan 23-yard line to the Yellowjacket 17-yard marker in the closing minutes of the contest. His left-footed punt- ing was good, and the coaches are counting on him to replace Johnny Regeczi as the punt in Michigan's "punt, pass and prayer." The spring practice season will end May 3 with the annual game between the Yellow and Blue squads according to Wally Weber. Coach Cliff Keen., who has been handling the wrestling team,treturned to action yesterday as Varsity line coach.

Proposed Professional Match Recalls Hagen-Fischer Battle By FRED BUESSER Should Olin Dutra, National Open Champion, and Jimmy Thompson, Australian Open Champion come to an agreement with University offi- cials, they will play Johnny Fischer and Chuck Kocsis in a best ball four- some over the° University golf course some time in May, according to Prof. Thomas C. Trueblood, coach. If arrangements can be satisfactor- ily completed Dutra and Thompson will be following in the footsteps of two other great professionals who played in Ann Arbor three years ago. In 1932 Walter Hagen, the old maestro of the links, and Josez Jur- ado, seven times Open Champion of South America, battled Johnny Fisch-, er and Captain Lenfesty over the then new University course in one of the most brilliant golfing exhibi- tions seen here or anywhere else. Outdrove Hagen It was a dual between Hagen and Fischer all the way. The lanky Wolv- erine sophomore outdrove Hagen all day and his play around the greens was superb. Lenfesty did his part for the Mich- igan side of the best ball foursome by matching the South American wizard stroke for stroke. But it was the golf displayed by Hagen and Fischer that kept the large gallery applauding all afternoon. Not a hole was won in the entire match that was not either a birdie or an eagle. Fischer had seven bird- ies and an eagle while Hagen had six birdies and was never over par. The strain was terrific, but neither of the players cracked. Fischer's drive out of bounds on the 12th was the only bit of erratic play in the entire round. Coming up to the 18th tee, Mich- igan was one up. Both Hagen and Jurado were on the green in two and both approximately 12 feet from the pin. Fischer's second carried well to the back and top of the green and came to rest about 40 feet from the cup. Johnny Sinks It Here was the opportunity the pro- fessionals had been waiting for, it was a fine chance to tie up the match. Fischer carefully addressed his ball. The tension was terrific, and then with his smooth, decisive putting stroke Johnny struck the ball. It ran beautifully down the well kept green, following a perfect curving line all the way, and dropped kerplunk into the cup for a birdie three as the crowd almost went crazy. Hagen and Jurado both missed their putts and a pair of Michigan golfers had defeated two of the world's greatest professionals, two up. Both Hagen and Fischer gave old man par a terrific lacing, Hagen by five strokes with a 67, and Fischer by four strokes with a 68, due to his one bad drive. If Dutra and Thompson do comne here to play Fischer and Kocsis, it should be another great match, with the Wolverines conceded a good deal more of a chance than they were against Hagen and Jurado. The competition is perhaps not quite so strong, while Kocsis is unquestionably a better golfer than Lenfesty and Fischer has a year of Walker Cup experience to give him added ability and confidence. Set Defi ite Dates For Three 13ig Outdoor Bouts NEW YORK, April 16 -W)- A great boxing revival loomed up for the coming season today with the an- nouncement that Max Baer had ac- cepted Jimmy Braddock as his heavy- weight title opponent June 3. At the same time dates were as- signed to the other two outstanding bouts of the outdoor season. The Louis-Carnera fight will be held June 13 and the Ross-McLarnin go May 20. RENEW RIVALRY PRINCETON, N. J., April 15.-(M) - Jack Lovelock, of Oxford, and Bill Bonthron, Princeton alumnus, Glenn Cunningham, the great Kansan and Gene Venzke, of Pennsylvania, will resume their vaiious rivalries in one "super" mile at the Princeton Invi- tation track meet in Palmer Stadium, June 15.

DAVIS, Registrar 233 Broadway, New York Patehin And Larson Are Effective On Recent Trip By ART SETTLE Using the won and lost columns as the basis for evaluating the merit of Michigan's baseball team, the Wolv- erines weren't very impressive on their Southern training trip, for they won only two of the five games played. But to get a true picture of Mich- igan's strength, take a look behind the scenes! In Art Patchin and Berger Larson, Coach Ray Fisher has two right handers as good as any inj the Big Ten. Patchin pitched a total of 16 innings and gave up only four1 hits. He beat Marshall College in the opener, holding the Herd to twoI hits, gave one hit in a two-inning re- lief role against Virginia and yieldedr one hit in five innings to the Navy. Larson hurled 13 innings in which he was touched foriseven hits, four of which were very scratchy. He pitched the best ball of the trip against Duke in the second game.1 Coach Fisher instructed Larson to{ "curve the devil out of the Duke hit- ters" which he did with such effective- ness that the Blue Devils, one of the strongest college teams in the coun- try, could get only one hard-hit ballt ors him all afternoon. Larson and Patchin split the mound duties in the Navy game, holding the Midshipmen to three' hits and striking out eleven. After the game, the Navy coach remarked that Mich- igan's pitchers "were just too good for my boys." Michigan's two giant sophomore pitchers, John Gee, southpaw, and George Butler, right hander, were al- most unhittable, but wildness caused the downfall of both. Butler started against Virginia and surrendered one hit in four and two-thirds innings. With two out in the fifth, his wild complex set in and he walked four men forcing in a run, whereupon' Fisher took him out. Gee breezed through four hitless frames against Maryland, but in the fifth, a base hit, four bases on balls, a wild pitch, an error, and an over- throw to second base all charged to Gee, gave the Terrapins five runs and the ball game.
