Drish will be ably assisted at the plate by Capt. Tom McConnell and Kallis who rank above the .400 mark, and Russ Dreschler who is hitting .389. In case Kallis is unable to start, Dreschler will move from his left field position to the hot corner and foot- baller Tony Mazeika will get a chance to start in the outer garden. Hapac To Start Another Illini batting threat is sill Hapac, All-Conference basketball for- ward who plays center field. Bill's average is somewhat short of .300 but he specializes in long distance hitting. Saturday's game will find Michi- gan's Jack Barry facing either Grant or Zeller, probably the former. Jack reached peak form in shutting out Western State Teachers College Tues- day and will be hard to stop if he is anywhere near as effective. Sopo- more Mickey Stoddard, whose stock jumped several notches after his fine performance against Ypsi, will be in reserve for both games along with Lyle Bond and Russ Dobson. Bill Steppon, hard hitting sopho- more will take Smick's place in right field today while Danny performs on the mound.

In the fourth inning he bounced a home run off the press box with Manager Joe Cronin on base. The ball dropped 350 feet from home plate. In the fifth inning Williams came up again. This time he slammed a home run over the roof of the press box in right field, a feat nobody has ever done before. That homer cane with Jimmy Foxx and Cronin on base. Young Jim Bagby started on the mound for Boston and lasted until the third when Rudy York's homer and Greenberg's single chased him to the showers. Denny Galehouse, former Cleveland right-hander, took over but was routed in the seventh and Joe Heving finished. The fifth was the big inning for the Sox. Cramer walked,, Vosmik singled and Foxx walked, filling the bases. Cronin singled, scoring Cram- er and Vosmik and tying the score at 4-all. At this point Roxie Lawson was retired and pitcher Bob Harris took up mound duties for Detroit. Then came Williams' second homer and three runs came in putting Bos- ton in the lead 7 to 4. From then on the Tigers fought to catch up. They scored a run in the fifth when Gehringer and Greenberg hit successive doubles and another in the seventh when Gehringer walked and scored on singles by York and Fox, but that one tying run proved too big to make. Detroit outhit Boston 11 to 8, but the secret of the defeat may be found in the left on base column.' PRESS PASSES By BUD BENJAMIN (EDITOR'S NOTE: The Column this week is being written by applicants for the, sports editorship next year. Today's aticle is contributed by Ton Phares. flow Good Is Siegel? . . JUST how g'ood a fighter is Don Siegel?" That question has been troubling Michigan fistic circles for three years and the Wolverine heavyweight's 57-second victory in his opening professional encounter last Tuesday night has only added kindling to the fire of controversy.- Many suspicions have been voiced in Ann Arbor since that rock-a-byec round at Arena Gardens: "Hollis must have taken a dive." "This Hollis must be a half-blind push-over." That's what they're saying. In refuting the first rumor, it seems certain that, contrary to the old Detroit custom, the loser did not "take a dive." When Hollis went down after a right to the jaw, the referee recognized the obvious and didn't waste his breath counting. Instead, he helped in the immediate efforts to revive the Canadian. After the fight he testified, as did several other ringside officials, that Hollis was indeed "out cold." At any rate, if a man can make his eyes glaze over at will, he is wasting his talents1 on a small fight card-they could use him on Broadway. The knockout blow, while not appearing to be a murdeous attempt to decapitate the victim, still was a well-timed punch which carried 2141 pounds behind it. Among heavyweights, as with husky baseball sluggers, the knockout blow or home run swing often doesn't seem to require a terrific output of energy but the re- 3 sults make evident the perfect tint- ing which turns the trick. s Siegel admitted after the fight that tehe was all set with th'at one punch.1 "I was instructed to box him care- ' _fully in the first round," said Don, x>"and that's what I started to do, but 4when he made the mistake of let- ting his left slip and feinting the wrong way I was poised perfectly, u so I swung."1 THE claim that Hollis was a "half- R blind push-over" is, of course, a - lurid exaggeration but suggests an1 element of truth nevertheless. Hi eyesight was okay and he had never 3. been knocked out in his 14-fight sYcareer, which seems to free him from the "push-over" class, and yet it was ?'z evident that he was grossly over- matched and never stood a real chance of winning. Whenever a boxer gives away a 30 pound weight advan- tage plus two inches in height and much more than that in reach, he is signing a death warrant, unless of DON SIEGEL course his opponent is the awkward, beefy type of behemoth who is an attraction because of his size and noth- ing more. Naturally, Siegel's managers were not going to match him with a. good professional in his first go-and they didn't. The chances are that his next opponent will be another so-called "bum" who is in the game for a few subsistence dollars. This process is necessary and manager Harry Baxter realizes it. It was he who offered the first honest opinion after the excitement Tuesday night had died down. Said the dapper Baxter: "This is the first time I have seen Don with gloves on, and after what I had heard I expected hMin to be a polished fighter; instead I find that he is awfully green and has a long way to go. He has to learn more defense and he has to get more snap in his punching. He's not a ten round fighter yet by any means, and, in my opinion, it will be about two years before he'll be ready to go that dis- tance with a really good heavyweight. After two years? Well, things should look pretty bright." And that seems to be a fair answer to the question, "how good is Siegel?" The terrific power in Don's punch is his chief asset at present and that is what impressed Roscoe Toles, top-flight Negro heavyweight of Detroit who took time off from his training for the coming Bob Pastor battle to watch the University of Michigan hope make his debut. "He has a wicked wallop and a wonderful build," said Toles, "but of course he needs more experience. He seems to be a fine prospect however." IT was a pleasure to watch Siegel weigh in at a Woodward Avenue fight club. His towering, powerful physique and clean-cut features looked attractively out-of-place. Broken-down Jimmy Adamick was leaning against the ring talking to a friend. as others nodded to him and murmured "poor Jimmy." Adamick was the victim of a tremendous build-up and quick break-down. A score of disheveled hangers-on who were loafing in the gym asked "who's the big guy?" when Siegel strode into the room. If Don can get somewhere in the fight game he will be akin to Gene Tunney-the last "gentleman" to make a name for himself in the squared circle. But that day is still far off. He may chuck it all before then. -T.K.P. Results Of Major League Baseball Games AMERICAN LEAGUE NATIONAL LEAGUE New York 10.

Weir Mel Play Northwestern And Buckeyes Tennis Team Faces Cats' Today, OSIJ Saturday; Two Days In C .olumnuls COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 4.-(Spe- cial to The Daily) -Coach Leroy Weir and seven Wolverine netmen arrived in town late this evening for a two- day stay. During the two days, the Michigan tennis players will face Northwestern and Ohio State. The seven men with Coach Weir are: Jim Tobin, Capt. Don Percival, John Kidwell, Sam Durst, Ed Morris and Howard Bacon. Wildcats First Opponents Northwestern will be the first team the Wolverines will meet. The match was originally scheduled to be played tomorrow morning, but due to the fact that the Wildcats have to re- turn to Evanston on Saturday for a dual match, the match with Michigan has been pushed up to today. Leading the Wildcats will be Ma- vin Wachman. Mary hails from Mil- waukee, and during the past few years has won many singles titles through- out Wisconsin. His match against Jim Tobin, Michigan's top man, will probably be the feature of the day. Five Lettermen Back The Wildcats have five of last year's seven lettermen on this year's squad, and are out to regain the Conference title which they lost to Chicago in' 1937. On Saturday morning, the Weir- men meet up with the Ohio State Buckeyes. Last year, the Bucks were easy prey for Michigan, losing 8-1. However, this year the story is not quite the same.' The Ohio team has been greatly fortified, and the battle should be close all the way. Previous to this weekend, the Weir- men have one win and one loss to their credit in conference meets. ortMch Jordan Eases Burdeni .for Mother Of Bouncing Baby 13:ii l iIhIti'd In I-M Games Chi Phi Scores 17 Runs; Theta Xi Tallies 12 Seven scheduled games were played yesterday at South Ferry Field in the Intramural Softball League.

Of course every respectable organi- zation has its private limousine, and so "Butch's Bouncing Baby Club" bounces around town in "Butch's Bouncing Baby Buggy." This car is relatively new, well newer than the president anyway. Ford put it out about nine years ago, it's only traveled 250,000 miles sinice that time. Kids Love It Regardless of age, the "Baby Bug- gy" gets the club around, and that's all that's necessary. "After all," claims Butch, "there is a humani- tarian principle behind this organiza- tion. It's invaluable to the mothers. The kids are getting a lot out of it, and Tom and I are having some fun besides." Social and financial dividends aren't the only ones that the club is paying off moreover. Butch has de- rived a lot of practical experiences from it. MARSHALL CUT-RATE 231 S. State, At the head of Liberty Phone 5933 We Deliver A Few More Left -- 50 OLD GOLDS Ax l By DICK SIERK1 It's Michigan vs. Indiana tomor- row in the home outdoor track open-, er and included on the program areI two meetings between Michigan's vet- eran Bill Watson and Indiana's soph- omore colored star, Archie Harris. On the basisof past clashes be- tween the two huskies, Big Bill has little to fear. But Harris is of the erratic type and if he should be particularly hot at some time during Saturday's action on Ferry Field he might score one of the major upsets of the year. Disappoints At College The case of the six foot, four inch, Harris is very puzzling. In high school his shot putting indicated that he would bf a sure 50 foot plus 16-lb. college weight man. But his best heave up to this point is 49 ft. 11/2 in., still a good heave. Even more disturbing is his failure to come through in the discus throw. In his high school days back in New Jersey, Harris sailed the platter more than 174 ft., which eclipsed the listed world record of 174 ft. 21/ in. held by Germny's Shiroeder. Only one thing kept that phenominal mark from going into the records. That one thing was that Harris, through some slip-ups, was competing in the wrong district and the record was disallowed. High School Star His best official mark is, however, 164 ft. 9 in., also set in high school. Since hitting college he has gone back in this event and his best as a Hoosier is 144 ft. 6% in., at least 15 feet short of what Bill Watson can do. Last week at Penn Watson was easi- ly the master in both shot and dis- cus. But Big Bill still maintains that Harris is the strongest athlete he has seen. Only the fact that he hasn't yet mastered the form neces- sary to top-notch performances keeps him from taking his place among the best in the country. Both Boys Versatilo, Harris is singularly like'- Watson in his versatility. Indoors the big Hoos- ier high jumps and pole vaults in addition to his shot putting. And, like Watson, reports indicate that Harris was plenty good with his fists as an amateur scrapper in his high school days. Rival Second Basemen Wi;~7eintraub Products VACUUM TRA r I Lou Weintraub, former Michigan diamond star who is assisting Bennie Oosterbaan with the latter's fresh- man baseball coaching duties this spring, will have a hard time making up his mind for whom to root this afternoon when the Wolverines meet Illinois here. The reason for Lou's perplexity is the fact that both Pete Lisagor and Ernie Cavallo, rival second-basemen, are products of Weintraub's coach- ing. Pete held down the keystone sack of Marshall High School in Chi- cago a few years ago when Lou coached there, and was supplanted upon graduation by the present Illini infield luminary. Bing Miller Is Suspended DETROIT, May 4. -(P)- Bing Miller, Detroit Tiger coach who was tossed out of Wednesday's game with the New York Yankees for protesting one of Umpire Emmett Ormsby's de- cisions, learned today that the expul- sion also carries with it a three-day suspension.
