Peckinpaugh's infield out scored Mike and after Elmer Gedeon and Freddie Trosko had walked, both crossed the plate on short stop Dave Kribs' bobble which gave Danny Smick a free trip to first. That was all for Mr. Bailey. He was replaced by another right-hander, Geno Sel- mo, who lasted till the fifth when he was removed in favor of Lefty Frank Overmire. The Western southpaw got along till the seventh when Trosko's single, an error by first baseman Bill Hill and two perfect sacrifices by Bill Steppon and Beebe netted anotherscore: In the ninth, the Wolverines topped off the day's work when singles by Ged- eon, Smick and Beebe and a bobble by center fielder Fred Nyman, were com- bined for the final two markers.

Today's article is contributed by Herbert Lev.) The Unknown Soldiers . JACK BARRY was throwing a few warm-up pitches into Leo Beebe's big mitt, Elmer Gedeon was feeding the other outfielders some easy ground- ers, Freddie Trosko was just getting set out in left field, and Coach Ray Fisher was scanning the group of ball players who remained on the side- lines. Some twenty individuai in faded gray uniforms and assorted colored caps were grouped around Ray, each hoping that he would be chosen on the team which would face the Varsity that day. We surveyed the group. We noticed several eager sophomores who in the next year or so would be among the handsomely outfitted clan now in the field. Then we saw the others who are through harboring any such illusions. They've been on this "dog-house" squad for two and three seasons now and the nearest they'll come to playing for Michi- gan is participating in these intersquad games, warming up the Varsity for ensuing battle. Heering Among these left overs we saw several familiar faces. They brought back many memories, most of them of the not too pleasant variety. They made us realize again that there's more to sports than the mere playing of the game. Some of these "dog-house" members had unique stories behind them. THERE'S John Heering for instance. When John first came out for base- ball here, he attracted immediate attention with his blazing fast ball.1 Undoubtedly the speediest left-handed pitcher since oJhnny Gee, Heer- ing's one drawback was the common weakness of most portsiders, a tendency toward wildness. Heering realized where he fell short and worked hard to correct his faults. He was better as a junior, but still somewhat wild and the presence of an all-veteran staff again kept him on the bench. Then this spring he1 returned far steadier than ever and just as fast, and indications were that1 he would at last live up to expectations and develop into a top-notcher. It was at the tail end of March, and the pitchers were getting their final chances to show before Fisher made his choices for the southern trip. It was.Heering's turn and he was throwing a few to Beebe in frontf of the dugout. Leo called for a fast one and John set himself to throw. Something snapped inside his upper arm. It didn't exactly hurt but he1 knew something was wrong as the ball just floated in, causing Beebe to exclaim, "Quit your foolin', John. You couldn't have broken a pane of glass with that pitch." But John wasn't fooling. He tried again and again with the same re- sults. He didn't tell Fisher but took his turn on the mound and was soundly; shellacked. Needless to say, he didn't make the trip. John can still be found on Ferry Field each afternoon. He knows that as far as Michigan is concerned, his pitching days are over, but he's still smiling and hoping against hope that some day his arm may snap back into shape as suddenly and mysteriously as it fell apart on that fateful day in March. * * * THEN THERE'S the case of Dean DuBois. Three years ago the stocky red- head was Fisher's freshman mound find of the season, one of the best looking yearling left-handers ever to play here. A rosy future loomed for "Red" when he left Ann Arbor for his Vermont home that June. But September arrived and "Red" didn't come back.,. During the summer both his parents had died leaving ' Dean homeless. He sought refuge in a northern CCC camp, ' ' and remained there until this fall when he finally had accumulated enough money to return to Michigan. F' Of course "Red" lost no time in coming out for base-A ball. But he found the comeback trail a rocky one. During his stay at camp he hadn't as much as touched a ball, and he was badly out of shape. "Red's been working hard all Netherton these months, he feels his arm growing steadily stronger, but its obvious that Coach Fisher doesn't exactly smile when he looks at the fellow on the mound, and then thinks of the DuBois of 1936. THERE are others in the group who deserve a word, players who are well known to their teammates, unheard of by those who merely scan the box scores. There's Ralph Bittinger, listed as a pitcher, but who acts as a general handyman because he loves to work hard and because he isn't exactly an outstanding moundsman; little Mase Gould, whose almost per- fect form on the mound doesn't quite compensate for his mere 130 pounds; Howard Greenberg, a good first baseman who unfortunately arrived at approximately the same time as Gedeon; Earl Smith, who's been first utility infielder for three years now; Tommy Netherton, who suffered hospitaliza- tion before the spring trip and missed the squad. The list could go on and on. And you'll find the same story in every sport. For every Harmon and Heikkinen who roams the gridiron, there are hundreds of Joe Unsungs who take all the bumps the' scrimmages offer, but don't even get an outside chance at any of the glory because they are given a rest on Saturdays. Simi- larly, for each Jablonowski and Larson or even Barry and Bond turned out by Fisher, there are many Heerings and Nethertons whom fate doesn't give a fair chance, and Smiths who miss out by inches. -H.L. i I * *' , 1 e1 Siegel Floors Foe In First Grid Star's Initial Bout Lasts But 57 Seconds By TOM PHARES ARENA GARDENS, Detroit, May 2.1 (Special to The Daily) - It took Michigan's Don Siegel only 57 seconds tonight to show Detroit fistic fans that he is a force to be reckoned with in the heavyweight fight picture. The giant Wolverine gridiron star knocked out Freddie Hollis of Kitch- ener, Ontario, with a perfectly timed right hand in the opening round of his initial professional scrap while Roscoe Toles, prominent Negro heavyweight challenger of Detroit, looked on with interest. Although a veteran of 14 pro fights, Hollis was no match for his aggres- sive adversary. Siegel held a 30 pound weight advantage but kept the Can- adian battler at a distance while feeling him out during the first 30 seconds. Suddenly he saw his opening and lashed out with a long right which caught Hollis on the side of the jaw. He dropped heavily and the referee didn't even bother to cout him )ut. It was more than a minute before his seconds could bring him to con- sciousness. Said Hollis in the dress- ing room: "Boy, oh boy, what a wal- lop!" Stratton Nets $29,845 CHICAGO, May 2. -(p)- Vice- President Harry Grabiner, of the Chi- cago White Sox, announced today that the benefit game for Monty Stratton . netted the disabled pitcher at least $29,845.25.

Straight Triunmph Here Balanced Wolverine Squad Holds Edge Over State; Match ToBegin At 1:30 In quest of their eighth consecu- tive win of the season, Michigan's un- beaten golf squad will meet Michi- gan State on the University Course this afternoon at 1:30. This year the boys from East Lan-' sing are without the services of Ed Flowers and Tom Brand, the two mainstays of the team that beat the Wolverines in their meeting last year. Meanwhile, the Michigan squad has added power this year in its all-veter- an squad. The important number one spot for4 Coach Courtright's four-man teamI will be held down by Jack Emery who has paced his mates all season. The number two slot is filled by Jim Loar who will team up with Emery in one of the best ball matches. Capt. Bob Palmer, who took medal' honors against the Broncs on Mon- day is the number, three man, and Lynn Reiss rounds out the well-bal- anced squad in the number four po- sition. Palmer and Reiss will form the other best ball combination. Veteran Roy Nelson heads the visit- ing Spartan contingent. Kowal, a newcomer to the squad will play number two spot, and will team up with Nelson against the Emery-Loar combination in their best ball match. BudtTansey, a junior on the squad, and Kerkow will play three and four places respectively, and will combine against Palmer and Reiss in the oth- er best ball match. Detroit Lions Sign Weissf Netmen Meet Strong FoesI At Columbus By ARNOLD DANA With an even conference record of one win and one defeat already marked up in the record book, the Wolverine netmen turn their efforts towards Columbus, Ohio, where this weekend they will face Northwesternj and Ohio State on successive days.] The Wildcats are fortified with five1 of last year's seven lettermen with] Marvin Wachman leading the team. The Milwaukee youth was twiceE runner-up for the Big Ten singles title, and during the past winter, he paired with Bobby Riggs to win the1 Western Indoor Doubles Champion- ship. In 1938, he won the Central, Intercollegiate singles crown, and last summer won the Badger. State open I singles and doubles championships. Froehling Is Number Two In number two spot is Frank Froeh- ling. Froehling is a senior, and played tennis for the first time when he entered Northwestern. He, like Wachman, has won many titles in- cluding the Chicago indoor singles title and western doubles champion- ship. The Wildcats are out to regain the Big Ten tennis title which they held in 1936. Last year, the team won 10 out of its 13 matches, losing twice to Chicago and once to Kenyon Col- lege. In the Conference tournament, they placed second to Chicago. Meet Buckeyes Saturday On Saturday, the Wolverines will meet the Buckeyes. Last year, the Bucks were comparatively easy work for the Weirmen, as they trounced them, 8-1. However, this year the going will not be as easy. Leading the Bucks into action will be Capt. George "Dottie" Mechir. Ac- cording to reports, Mechir is to the net squad what Jimmy Hull was to the basketball team. He hails from Cleveland where he started his ten- nis career by being rated the out- standing junior netman. One of the other bright lights on the Ohio team is Charles "Pinky" Steinman. Two years ago, Steinman played in number two spot. Last year he did not compete, but this year he is once more playing second posi- tion. Iron-Man'Lou Benches Self After 14 Years Dahlgren Stars As Yanks Hammer Five Pitchers For EasyVictory, '22-2 DETROIT, May 2.-(P)--For the first time since May 30, 1925, New York Yankees, played a major league baseball game today without Lou Gehrig in the lineup. Apparently without regret Gehrig ended his amazing "Iron Man" per- formance at 2,130 consecutive games for what he termed "the good of the team." Both Gehrig and Manager Joe Mc- Carthy of the Yankees insisted the action of the big first baseman was entirely voluntary. Now 35 years old, Gehrig is the holder of, numerous baseball records and has been a not- able figure with the present world champions for more than a decade. "I made up my mind Sunday night to ask McCarthy to bench me," Geh- rig said, "The consecutive game rec- ard always was meaningless to me, and now that I have ended it you newspaper guys will believe me." He added a word of appreciation that "despite my slump, the fans never 'got on me.'" Gehrig said he had not determined how long he would remain on the sidelines. "I hope the arrival of warm weath- er will enable me to hit my stride," Lou said. While Gehrig left the line- up today he was batting only .143, had made but four hits in the Yan- kees' first eight games and had bat- ted in only one run. Gehrig has- led the league five times in the runs batted in department. The Yankees clubbed five Detroit pitchers for 17 hits, including four home runs, to rout the Tigers, 22 to 2, today. Babe Dahlgren, who re- placed Gehrig at first, chipped in 'with a double and a homer, while Red Ruffing set down Detroit with seven hits. AMERICAN LEAGUE SCORES Chicago 4, Philadelphia 1.

Track Team Faces Hoosiers Saturday Michigan will pry the lid off the home outdoor track schedule Satur- day when Coach Billy Hayes leads his Indiana University team into town. Coach Hayes will bring a squad to Ann Arbor that is headed by the bril- liant Mel Trutt and a crew of sopho- mores who promise to offer a lot of opposition for the Hoytmen although the Michigan all-around strength is expected to bring the Wolverines home in front. Coach.Hoyt has been hampered no little in his preparations by the cold weather that necessitates sending his men through their workouts swathed in sweat shirts. Dick Bennett, who won the javelin against Illinois two weeks ago, joined the Wolverine hospital list yesterday when he suffered a sprained ankle. The injury is not thought to be seri- ous but it may keep the sophomore spear tosser out of Saturday's meet.
