To Strengthen Hitting
Michigan and Ohio State, fourth
and third place clubs respectively
in the Big Ten baseball race, will
play the first of a crucial two-game
series today, to determine which team
will go on to challenge Illinois and
Chicago, present leaders of the
League. The game will begin at 4:05
on Ferry Field.
Both outfits have lost two games,
one to each other and the second to
Illinois. The Buckeyes have won four
while the Wolverines have won two.
Despite the difference in the stand-
ings at present the teams are even-
ly matched. Michigan has the edge
in the fielding and pitching depart-
ments, whereas Ohio State has a
hard-hitting nine, a factor which cov-
ers a multitude of sins in baseball.
One defeat would be disastrous to
either team. Two wins for the Buck-
eyes would put them in second place
with a fine chance to sail on to at
least a tie for the title. Two wins for
Michigan would put the Wolverines in
third place with a hurdle yet to get
over in the form of Illinois.
The result of the games played a
Columbus earlier in the season, w'en
each team won one
and lost one, would
indicate an even
break in the pres-
ent series, but the
decision of Coach
Ray Fisher to pit
Berger Larson
against Ronnie Pe-
ters in today's
game may mean a
clean sweep for
Michigan; if past
records can be re-
lied upon.
Peters' one-hit
LARSON per formanc e
against the Wolverines was not as im-
pressive as Larson's shut-out, two-hit
win over the Buckeyes, and many ob-
servers believe the latter will have
the best of the Buckeye hurler, if the
Wolverine curve ball artist is in form.
The second game will likely see Art
Patchin and Marvin Ulrich opposed to
each other on the mound. Ulrich was
shelled from the box at Columbus,
whereas Patchin lost to Peters, 3 to 2,
allowing but five hits.
Fisher is again confronted with the
problem of who will start in right
field. Heyliger has started in all
games since his first appearance,
against Northwestern, but has failed
to hit and in the last two contests has
been relieved by Joe Lerner. Milt
"Gomez" Meltzer, a former pitcher,
has been showing considerable hitting
ability in practice and Fisher is con-
templating using him.
Batting averages released yester-
day and including all games played
to date show that Michigan has three
regulars hitting .300 or better, but
that the team average is a woeful
.225. Vic Heyliger is still leading with
.333. Russ Oliver is next with .305,
and Kim Williams follows with an
even .300.
PROBABLE LINEUPS
Four Michigan
Men Qualify For
N.C.A.A. Meet
Two Ohio State Track Men
Also Eligible To Attend
Contest At California
Six entries in Saturday's Ohio
State-Michigan track meet have al-
ready qualified for the N.C.A.A. meet
to be held June 21-22 by the Univer-
sity of California, according to an-
nouncements received here this week.
Qualifying marks for the national
meet are established by the meet's
committee and must be met during
the outdoor season by all entrants in
order to compete.
The six who have already qualified
are Willis Ward, Paul Gorman, How-
ard Davison and Walter Stone, for.
Michigan, and Jesse Owens and John
Wonsowitz for the Buckeyes. Seven
other entries in Saturday's meet are
considered likely qualifiers on that
day.
Owens has already qualified in
three events, the 100-yard dash, the
220-yard dash and the broad jump.
His mark of 9.5 seconds in the short
dash at Drake is .3 seconds better
than necessary, and his 26 feet 13/4
inches in the broad jump is more than
two feet above the minimum. Owens
last Saturday ran the furlong in 21
seconds flat to qualify in that event.
Ward Is Leading Contender
Ward is the leading Michigan con-
tender for honors at the national
meet, but has qualified in but one
event, the high hurdles. Histime of
14.5 seconds in winning the 110-meter
event in the Penn Relays easily quali-
fied him, and also stamped as one of
the outstanding hurdlers in the coun-
try as he proved his superiority over
the best in the East. He had already
defeated California's best, considered
to be the ranking stars on the coast.
Whether Ward will make an at-
tempt at qualifying in any other of
his several favorite events on Satur-
day will depend entirely on his condi-
tion, Coach Chuck Hoyt said yester-
day. Ward will take no chance on
his leg injury with the Conference
meet two weeks away, he said.
The other*'Michigan men who have
qualified for the national meets are
Gorman and Davidson, both of whom
broke the necessary 1:56 in the half-
mile last week, and Walter Stone,
who ran almost eight seconds better
STAR DL
Results of the last two ball games
with Illinois and Toledo have
strengthened a growing conviction
that Michigan's baseball team can't
come from behind to win a close con-
test. Both games were lost, the for-
mer, 1 to 0, and the latter, 2 to 1,
because Michigan's batting order
didn't contain sufficient punch, luck,
or more aptly, hitting ability to
drive in even a single run on at least
10 different occasions in which base-
runners were in scoring position dur-
ing the two games.
Clayt Paulson, Capt. Russ Oliver
and John Regeczi, all of whom hit
well over .300 last year and who bat
in the potent positions of the batting
order, have been the chief offendersl
in failing to hit with men on. Each
of the three is in the throes of a des-
perate batting slump which has
plunged batting averages downward.
Five of the Wolverines' six defeats
to date have been by one-run mar-
gins, including two 3-2 scores, and
1-0, 2-1 and 5-4 results, the other
loss being a 4-0 decision to Duke.
Michigan's five victories were ac-
quired in games in which the Wolv-
erines spurted away to early leads
which were never threatened because
of the effective hurling of Berger
Larson, Art Patchin, and in one case,
the collaborated efforts of John Gee
and George Butler.
