Batting Stars Find Little Difference In Baseball

Schwartzkopf, Ace Two-Miler,
Follows In Saginaw Tradition

By PETE TENNEY
The old adage saying it never
rains but what it pours, must cer-
tainly be true judging from R.the
flow of good track material here from
Eastern High School in Saginaw.
It's enough to expect to get one
man like Big Bill Watson, Varsity
foi r event winner, from one school,
bu now another one of the same
ability has followed him here and
there is promise of more to follow.
The newcomer is Ralph Schwartz-
kopf, sensational sophomore distance
man who makes the two mile Un ex-
citing spectacle and not a seventh
inning stretch for the spectators.
Sprints In Final Lap
Even before he starts the 16 lap
grind on the indoor track Ralph
seems to be tired and at the half way
mark he looks as if he will drop on
the next turn. The show comes
when the gun starts him on the last
lap.
Like a rabbit with a dog after him
he begins his wild sprint for home.
The best he has done this year was

in one of the last time trials when he
sprinted the last'lap in 28.3 which is
a good time even for the quarter mil-
ers.
Schwartzkopf ran the half mile
when he was in high school and his
one ambition was to beat Harold
Davidson, another Varsity star, who
was then running the same event for
Grand Rapids. Both times that
they met in the state meet he finished
just one -place behind Davidson. The
first year Harold was second and
Ralph was third and the next year
they both moved up a notch.
Enters A.A.U.Meet
Last summer he felt that he need-
ed more experience in distance run-
ning so he went to the National Jun-
ior A.A.U. meet at Milwaukee. He
ran against some of the best young
runners in the country and in the 5.-
000 meter run was second to the na-
tional champion.
Like most distance men Schwartz-
kopf is not a very big fellow. He
weighs only 140 pounds but seems to
have an amazing amount of energy
and stamina for his size.

When this group of clouters got together in Baltimore they hoped to learn something about the difference
between the old ball and the new "dead' ball which the Naticnal League will use next baseball season. But
dead or live, they offered no puzzle as 18 ball went soaring over the fences. Left to right: Bill Cissell, Balti-
more Orioles; Chuck Klein, Philadelphia slugger; Jimmy Foxx, fotrmer home run king; and Charlie Keller,
International League batting champion.

Opening Engagement


w

Sammy Stoller, Michigan's singingy
ambassador to Hollywood is going tot
forsake his career, in the movies for
the next few weeks and go back to his
old college pastime, sprinting. He's
off for the Philippine Islands in an
effort to introduce the art of running
to the Islanders.
In order to stimulate track interest
in the Islands, the Philippine A.A.U.
has invited four American runners to
come out and give the people a real
cinder show.
The othar members of the quartet
will all be from the track team of the
University of Southern California,
which is one of the best on the coast.
Roy Staehle and Roy Kirkpatrick will
hurdle and run the middle distances,
while Hal Olsen will broad jump.
Sammy will also help out in the broad
jump along with his sprinting.
The American runners left the first
of the week on the tour that will last
16 weeks. They will take in most of
the important points in the Islands
with their track show..

Five sophomore members of Coach
Matt Mann's varsity swim team will
be initiated into Intercollegiate com-
petition this Saturday afternoon when
the Wolverine natators open defense
of their Big Ten and National col-
legiate championships in a dual meet
with the Hoosiers of Indiana,
The five newcomers, a diver, a free-
styler, a backstroker and two breast-
strokers have each demonstrated ex-
ceptional prowess in their respective
specialties in pre-season exhibition
meets and should be instrumental in
sending the Wolverines off on the
trail to titledom.
Won Easily Last Year
Indiana, which succumbed easily
in last year's engagement with Mich-
igan, losing a 64 to 20 decision in
which the Wolverines won every first
place, is not expected to extend the
Wolverines.
Jack Wolin, a diver, is the class of
'40's representative in that event.
Wolin, a Cleveland Heights lad, will
have as his diving mate Hanley Sta-
ley, a senior.
Breast-strokers Johnny Haigh and
Hal Benham, both sophomores will
divide the duties in that stroke. Haigh
will race over the 200-yard distance
and Benham will see service in the
medley relay.
Listed In Three Races
Soph Bob Burke, an up and coming
back-stroker will see double duty.
Coach Mann will use him in the 150-
yard dorsal race and again in the
medley relay.
Ed Hutchens. "the laziest man on
the swim squad," should get a com-
plete workout in the Indiana meet as
he is listed as an entry in three races.
Hutchens, the fastest free-styler on
last year's yearling team, will com-
pete in the 220-yard event, the quar-
ter mile race, and in the 400-yard
relay race.
Squad Not Yet Selected
Coach Mann announced yesterday
that he still is uncertain as to the
complete identity of the squad thai
will make the trip to Bloomington.
Bill Farnsworth and Bob Emmett,
both juniors and sprint swimmers are
still battling for a berth on the squad.
The coach will test both men today
and make his final decision from
the results.
Michigan will have power to spare
in the free-style sprints with both
Captain Ed Kirar, Big Ten and Na-
tional Collegiate sprint title-holder
and Walt Tomski, veteran short dis-
tance man on the firing line. Mann
may not use these two aces in the
same iace, however, he said yesterday
Kirar will probably swim the 50-yard
dash and Tomski the century race.
MacPhail Is Undecided
About Brooklyn Position
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 12.-(A)-Larry
MacPhail, former general manager
of the Cincinnati Reds, said today it
was unlikely he would accept a simi-
lar position with the Brooklyn Dodg-
ers.
MacPhail, stopping here on his way
to Mexico, said he had discussed the
club's situation and possibilities with
representatives of both groups of
owners

'Poosh'Em Up Kid'
Begins Post-Grad
BaseballActivity
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 12.-UP)-
Tony Lazzeri, post graduate of Ameri-
can League baseball, has started
training for what may prove the most
interesting experience of a long and
honorable career-his debut this year
as a National League freshman with
the Chicago Cubs.
The "Poosh 'em up kid," whose 12
years service with the New York
Yankees ended in glory with the last
World's Series, approaches his new
job with no misgivings and very little
comment. All he will say about it is
he intends to "keep hustling and give
them all I've got."
There has been much conjecture
about just what Lazzeri's duties will
be; how far his powers will extend as
the reported "third managerial brain"
of the Cubs.
If Tony has any "inside" informa-
tion, he hasn't taken even his closest
friends into his confidence. He says:
"I signed a one-year contract to act
as utility player and coach." Draw
your own conclusions.
Participation in six World Series
and 16 years in minor and major
league baseball has brought the 34-
year-old Lazzeri affluence.
