Mound Duties For First
Games ThisSpring
While a hard spring rain was wash-
ing away the last of the pre-season
drills, Coach Ray Fisher yesterday
announced that he had selected 15
men to form Michigan's Varsity base-
ball squad on its southern invasion
which will open this afternoon at
Ohio Wesleyan.
The team is leaving Ann Arbor this
morning for Delaware, O., a distance
of 175 miles. On the squad are Capt.
Berger Larson, John Gee,, Herman
Fishman, Ed Andronik and Bob
Harn don, pitchers; John Jablonski,
catcher; Don Brewer, Carl Ferner,
Joe Lerner, Mike Miller, Matt Pat-
anelli and Steve Uricek, infielders;
Merle Kremer, George Rudness and
Vic Heyliger, outfielders.
Kremer Also A Hurler
Kremer is also a pitcher and will
probably be used in that capacity
several times during the tri. At
those times Lerner will take over
Kremer's outfield duties, and Patan-
elli will play first. In case the hard
hitting Jablonski should suffer an in-
jury. Heyliger will don the back-
stop's paraphanalia and do the re-
ceiving.
Of the six pitchers, all of whom
will probably see action, four are
southpaws. Larson and Andronik
are the only right handers on the
mound staff. Larson will pitch this
afternoon's game with the Battling
Bishops, while Gee will face them to-
morrow. Fishman is slated for the
Roanoke game Monday. Larson and
Gee will probably start Wednesday
and Thursday's tilts and thus be
r. dy for the first two Conference
games at Ohio State the following
Monday and Tuesday.
Were Rained Out
The squad had hardly assembled
on Ferry Field yesterday when the
deluge started, and the team retreat-
ed to the Field House to go through a
light drill and taper off for the 10-
game training trip. Fisher had or-
iginally planned to send the men
through a practice game yesterday.
The lineup and batting order that
vill start today's game will be Rud-
ness, cf; Brewer, 2b; Ferner, 3b;
Uricek, ss; Jablonski, c; Lerner, 1b;
Kremer, lf; Heyliger, rf; Larson, p
This aggregation seemingly boasts
of a strong'defense with a question-
able offensive ability.
The schedule for the trip:
April 10 and 11-Ohio Wesleyan at
Delaware, Ohio.
April 13 and 14-Roanoke at Sa-
lem, Va.
April 15-Richmond at Richmond

While at the present time the

as soon as their appearance after
spring leave they will report for in-
tensive workouts to condition them-
selves for the telegraphic meets with
other Big Ten frosh teams.
Ohio State will offer the first op-
position to be followed by Indiana,
Wisconsin and Iowa. Other meets
are to be arrainged later according
to Doherty.
's With the arrival of the outdoor
season several promising men have
presented themselves. In the javelir
and discus throws, which are not in-
t cluded in the winter program, al
least six bright prospects have beer
_uncovered.
Fred Osberg and Cramon Stanton,
both of whom do 160 feet and better
have appeared as javelin tossers,
while Bill Watson hurls the discus
130 feet without effort. Last year's
mark for the javelin was set by Fred
Martin at 130 feet while Townsend
heaved the discus 133 feet. With
more training, Doherty believes thai
his charges will surpass both of these
t marks.
Other freshmen who look good ir
the javelin throw are Bruce Camp-
bell and Richard Fox who boast o
consistent 150 foot tosses. Bob Arch-
er puts in his claim for recognitior
as a discus thrower with habitual

a southern trip is not of great value

TORONTO, April 9.-(AP)-Fightiig
with their backs to the wall, the To-
ronto Maple Leafs hung grimly to a
chance to win the Stanley Cup in
the National Hockey League tonight
when they defeated the Detroit Red
Wings 4-3. Detroit won the first two
games of the series and was leading
3-0 when the Leafs started a third
period drive to even the score and
send the game into overtime.
Sorrell plunked a long shot that
was wide as the overtime started and
then the Leafs put a sudden end to.
the game. They carried the puck
into the corner where Art Jackson
snapped it across in front of the goal
to Buzz Boll who, unguarded, took
his time and scored easily. The time
was 31 seconds.
The Leafs started the third period
with four forwards on the ice, Char-
ley Conacher teaming on defense
with Day. Boll, Bill Thoms and
Frank Finnigan were up front. De-
troit marked up their third goal when
Syd Howe shot one home in a com-
bination play with Gordon Petting-
er and He'c Kilrea and it looked as
though the jig was up for the Leafs.
They came back, however, with one
of their stirring finishes.
Change In Lineup'
DURHAM, N. C., April 9. - (.'P) -
ManagerMike Cochrane announced
plans today to do something aboutl
the batting slump which has afflictedI
his world champion Detroit Tigers.
Rain that forced cancellation of a
game scheduled with the Cincinnati
Reds left him with plenty of time,
and he utilized it figuring the com-
bined batting average of his talent
for the spring season. The result was
a discouraging .226.
One remedial step will be the re-
turn of Hank Greenberg to the clean-
up slot which Al Simmons has oc-
cupied all spring. Simmons will bat
fifth.
RECEIVES LIFETIME PASS
Fred Clarke, once the Pirates pilot,
has been sent a gold-engraved life-
time pass to all major league games.1
The largest crowd of the day is ex-
pected to watch the Giants and
Dodgers at the Polo Grounds. All
reserved seats have been sold already
and Giants' officials predict that 40,-
000 unreserved seats will be sold
Tuesday. This will kite the crowd
to 58,000.
In Cincinnati, Reds' officials are
not even taking a chance on the
weather. They have sold over 25,-
000 tickets already for their game
with the Pirates and the capacity of
33,000 is anticipated.
Capacity crowds of 25,000 also
loom as the world champion Tigers
start defense of their title against
the Indians at Cleveland and the
Cubs open their drive for another
pennant against the Cardinals at St.
Louis.
Fans will find several changes in
the nation's ball parks this season.
They will be able to buy a glass of
beer in the Boston Parks, for ex-
ample, and they will be able to
stretch farther in the roomier seats
installed in Wrigley Field, Chicago.
The right field wall has been moved
47 feet closer to home plate in De-
troit by the erection of a new double-'
deck pavilion, but a 30 foot screen
has been put up to prevent "cheap
homers."
Tulsa of the Texas League today, 10
to 4. Oklahoma City of the Texas
circuit defeated the major leaguers
yesterday, 6 to 1.
The veteran Jesse Haines made his
first start of the season for the
Cards but retired for a pinch hitter
in the fifth and was replaced on the
mound by Nelson Potter, a recruit.
Tulsa made six of its runs off Haines.
One of the three hits of Howell,
Tulsa left fielder, was a home run.
BROWNS WIN, 8-4
MEMPHIS, Tenn.-Ed Coleman hit
a home run today as the St. Louis
Browns ended their spring exhibition
series with an' 8 to 4 victory over
Memphis of the Southern Associa-
tion.
No one was on base, Jim Bottomley
having flied to left field for the first
out of the inning.
Today's win gave the American
Leaguers a record of 13 victories, five
defeats and one tie in 19 games since
they went to training.
