THE MICHIGA-N DAILY etters Outplayed At Chicago; HoytMen Lead Big Third Doubles Team, Is Only Varsity Winner Slattery-Woolsey Combine Reaches Semi-Finals; Cohen Eliminated By ART BALDAUF CHICAGO, May 20.-(Special to the Daily)-Play in the Big Ten Ten- nis Meet went ahead according to schedule today with Chicago, defend- ipg champion, winning in every divi- sion of the singles and doubles events to send six men into the finals of the former and three doubles teams into the semi-finals of that event. Although some of the matches were played in Evanston, as per schedule, rain fell about noon for a long enough time to force a transfer of the re- mainder of the matches to the courts inside the Field House at the Univer- sity of Chicago. Draw Is Unfavorable Michigan players were again the victim of the draw as two of the three doubles combinations fell be- fore the onslaught of Chicago racquet men in the initial round of the team affair. Capt. Neil Levenson and Ed Morris, playing in the number one spot, fell 6-0, 6-2 before the drives of the Murphy brothers, Chet and Bill. The second division doubles tam of 'John Kidwell and Henry Cohen likewise could do little against the Maroons, annexing but one game in each of their two sets against John Shostrum and Arthur Jorgensen. Michigan men took part in two oth- er affairs. Cohen, only man left in the singles, was eliminated this morn- ing in the' semi-finals by Phil Levy of Minnesota, 6-1, 6-4. Slattery-Woolsey Win The third division doubles team of Slattery and Woolsey was alone vic- torious; pounding out an extremely easy 6-1, 6-2 win over Bill Sears and Dale Hatch of Iowa. They meet Charles Shostrum and John Krieten- stein ii the semi-finals tomorrow morning. At the end of play today team totals stood as follows: Chicago 15, North- western 8, Minnesota 5, Illinois and Iowa 4, Ohio State 3. Michigan and Wisconsin 2, and Purdue 0. SUMMARIES Levy (Minn.) dfeated Cohen 6-1, 6-4. Doubles, first division, Chester Murphy and William Murphy (Chi.) defeatedl Levenson and Morris 6-1, 6-2. Second division: John Shostrum and Krietenstein' (Chicago) defeated Kidwell and Cohen 6-1, 6-1. Third division, Woolsey and Slattery de- feated Hatch and Sears (Iowa) 6-1, 6-2. Long John Gee Trails Vasity Men "To Mors By MEL FINEBERG Long John Gee is another of a line of Michigan pitchers who has learned that one is better able to face the cold, cold world with a college education- and a fast ball and curve. ,The elongated one who had hurled a no-hitter for the Wolverines against Hillsdale last year and who had been captain and center for the cage team, stepped into a semi-pro outfit in Ohio i'rrmediatey after graduation last June. Gee Moves Up But Gee had toohmuch stuff to tarry °mlong in the bushes. Early in the summer of 37, John reported to the Syracuse Chiefs in the International League and had enough stuff to win four games while dropping but three in his first season in Double A ball. This year, with his first spring training trip behind him, Gee, sur- named Whizz by Syracuse scribes, got the nod to hurl the opening game. Johnny nodded right back and pro- ceeded to set the Montreal Royals back on their respective heels with a very fine six hit, one run victory. At present Gee has lost one more than he has won, a creditable perform- ance with the low run-producing Chiefs as teammates. Bottomley Compliments Him Jim Bottomley, manager of the club, considers that the 22 year old Michigan graduate is the equal of any other hurler on the staff and a compliment of this magnitude from Sunny Jim is not to be sloughed off. Gee, a southpaw, is 6 feet nine inches tall and 212 pounds of muscle. With his skyscraper height, Gee is one of the biggest men in baseball and when the long left arm swoops down and 212 pounds are behind it, opposing batters take notice-if they can. Gee is following in the footsteps of other Michigan ball pitchers, George Sisler, a hurler when he was here, Pete Appleton, nee Jablonowski, Bill McAfee, all found their way to the big time after a sojourn in the PRESS PASSES By BUD BENJAMIN A Success Saga. COLUMBUS, 0., - Take it from the Michigan track coaches and squad members, Horatio Alger's success stories were kid stuff compared to that inspiring tale, "The Rise to Fame of a Javelin Thrower," or "How Fred Martin Made Good." This gripping yarn in two parts has a punch in every line and a lesson on every page. The opening chapter, entitled "Fred Answers an Ad," has been told so often that Michigan Daily moguls are playing with the idea of offering Martin a directorship or some such thing for services rendered. For without the Daily, Fred would have been just another Joe Unsung. Today he is a star, and all because the Daily classifieds do pay (advt.). But enough of this plug. We've satisfied our superiors, and here's the story. Three years ago this month, Track Coach Charlie Hoyt inserted the following ad in the Daily. HELP WANTED-Male-Students with good throwing arms to throw the javelin. Apply to Charles B. Hoyt, track coach, at Ferry Field. Among the applicants who answered Charlie's ad was a husky kid from Brooklyn, N.Y., with a yearning to make good in athletics. His name was Fred Martin, he had been cut from the baseball squad, and he figured that perhaps here was his chance to make good. So out he came, donned a suit, and started to work. Thus endeth book one-the well known part of the story. Now comes the less sensational but more profound part. In it you can find the true secret of success-athletic or otherwise. When Martin came out for the javelin he was throwing the spear about 160 feet, good tossing for a novice in any man's league. Naturally his form was poor, and the coaches got to work and began remedying technical defects. Immediately Martin's distance decreased 10 feet, an expected but disheartening feature of any "form" sport. The athlete becames so conscious of what he is doing at this stage, that he fails to get the coordination essential to this particular line of endeavour. It's usually the turning point in his career. Now Take The Golfe ... JUST FOR EXAMPLE'S SAKE, take the golfer. How many duffers have you seen out on the fairway doing Vractically everything wrong and yet turning in "satisfying scores (they often play alone). Usually they're quite satisfied with the status quo, and although they may play 36 holes a day, they rarely get down in pay dirt. Then suddenly they get an urge to improve and run to their pro for lessons. He'll tell them: "Elmer, your stance is all wrong. Don't drop that shoulder, don't bend that arm, don't cock that wrist that way, don't do this and don't do that. 'Now, here's the way to do it and practice." Elmer tries it. His score skyrockets, his temper keeps pace with it, ano he'll shout: "Hell, this stuff can't work. My game's shot." With that he returns to the old rut again. * * * * NOT SO FRED MARTIN. When his distance dropped off, he realized that it was the natural outcome of the . innovations that he was being taught. He kept on working-and that's hardly a. suitable term to describe his efforts. In the fall, he'd work outdoors until the local climes became too severe for comprehensive work in his thin track garb. Then he'd move into the Field House. When the basketball courts went up, it meant the end of javelin work indoors, so he'd slave away at shot putting to maintain his coordination, calisthenics to stay in trim, and running to keep his legs in shape. He never doubted that he was on the right road to success; he never let up in his efforts. Improvement naturally took place-both gradually and in spurts. He'd incr4ase his distance a few feet, and then hit a plateau. Then another spurt and another dormant period. In other words, after he'd jump a notch a period of "smoothing out" would take place. All told, his net increase was about 15 feet per year. Last May, Martin placed second in the Conference with a toss of 182 feet 3 inches. Pettigrew of Ohio won the event with a pitch of 185 feet, 8 inches. Then the Michigan team traveled out to the coast for the Pacific Coast-Big Ten meet, and Fred became a student as well as a participant. He was in tough competition out there-too stiff for him at his stage of development-but the trip helped him no end. He'd sit for hours' watching the stars perform, studying their motions and jotting down little mental notes. He came back filled with ideas and plans. Then more work. Conditioning in the summer, outdoors again in the fall, and inside once more for the winter. Together with the coaches he applied all the knowledge he had gathered on the coast trip. It paid dividends. When the outdoor season opened, Fred was tossing about 196 feet and still climbing. Up to 200 he went, then 205, and how far he will go down here this week-end is anybody's guess. The only ones who have been surprised are the crowds. They weren't informed on Fred's progress all by his lonesome, for the husky blond had been progressing outside of competitive circles. The coaches aren't astounded; neither are the players. They realize--and quite well too--that you can't beat that kind of work - that kind.of spirit. Irish Aren't All Irish Despite Show Of Green Notre Dame's diamond crew wasn't so Irish although it may have ap- peared to have a slightly greenish tinge in spots. With Corcoran, Doyle, Braddock, and Sullivan comprising the visiting infield, the flag of Erin may have been a fitting banner for the team, but the outfield of Nardone, Borow- ski, and Arboit, was definitely on the cosmopolitan side. The balance of' power was decidedly swung, however, by the starting battery of Mandjiak3 and Verhoestra.- What Irish there was, however, was' fighting Irish with Doyle, Braddock,, and Sullivan all being namesakes of famous heavyweight boxers.
