Y, MAY13, 1939 THE MICHIGAN DAILY ?ACJ7 ,M r Baseball Team Loses; Track Squad, Gridders Compete Today Smick Pounded As Nine Bows To Indiana, 9-5 Barry To Face Hoosiers' In Crucial Conference Contest AtFerry Field (Continued from Page 1) portunist style, scoring in the first without the benefit of a hit by taking advantage of two errors and Mike Sofiak's neat sacrifice. However, the Wolverine prosperity was short lived as Indiara hopped on Smick for three in the third. After successive singles by Jack Corriden, Mike Kosnan, and Tom Gwin filled the bases, Danny hit Hal Cromer on the back to force in Cor- riden, and his two mates scored as srnie Andres forced Cromer at sec- ond, Gwin sneaking in on the at- tempt at a double killing. Lisagor Scores Two Michigan tied it up for the last time in the fourth when a line singe by Pete Lisagor scored Fred Trosko who had walked, and Bill Steppon who popped a double to left. From this point on its was all Indiana. The sixth saw Boz, Stoshitz double score Bob Dro for Hoosier tally number four, while. three more runs crossed the plate in the seventh on doubles by Kosman and Kromer, a pass to Gwin and a single by Don Danielson. Michigan got one back in their half of the seventh, but the Hoosiers retaliated in the eighth with two, sending Smick to the showers and ending the dwindling Wolverine hopes. A lone Wolverine run in the ninth served to make it look better n the box scores, if little else. Sofiak In Outfield The Wolverines put a makeshift line-up in the field. Little Mike Sofiak was in right field where his injured shoulder was less likely to 'trouble him, and Bill Steppon took his place at short. Mike made a great catch of Corriden's long drive in the fourth, -but donated the Hoosiers several extra bases because of his inability to throw overhand. * * * For third sacker Ernie Andres and outfielder Bob Dro, the victory had a double meaning, for besides moving their team up a notch in the Con- ference standings, it helped avenge the basketball upset the Woverines heaped on Indiana, which knocked the Hoosiers off the cage throne. Indiana stopped at East Lansing on the way up long enough to shut out Michigan State 7-0 and unearth a pitching find in Seward Wilshere, brother of the former Hoosier great and ex-major leaguer, "Whitey." It was Wilshere's first chance in a college ball game despite the fact that he's a senior. He'llbe on deck today in case Don Hundley who'll start for Indiana, runs into trouble. ., - - r i IN THIS CORNER By MEL FINEBERG .r. ..

We walk over to the grandstand sit down in back of first base and say, "hello." "Hello," comes back quick as a flash so we think the fellow appears sociable. So we introduce ourselves. It turns out the guy is the sbcial type and it also turns out that he is a scout for a club known as the Boston Red Sox which also plays baseball of sorts. So we tell him that we work on the paper around here and im- mediately he shuts up like the clam they're always talking about. "A newspaper guy," he says, in a tone that appears to have more than -a trace of a sneer in it. "I was down South and one of these newspaper guys finds out that I an a scout and the next day everybody looks at me as though I was trying to steal one of their wisdom teeth. At present, my pro- fession is not what is known as hiighly regarded around institu- tions of higher learning." At this point we recall a story in a weekly magazine in which a Wes- tern coach says that big league base- ball is weaning the college stars away from alna .mater. So we ask this scout, whose naime we have discovered by devious means to be Fred Hunter, what he thinks of aforementioned article. $ut this Mr. Hunter is careful about what he says to newspapermen so he asks us what we think. But we're not to be put off and we say to him "We asked you first." Now this puts fim on the defense and so he says "I think this article is all wet. All scouts do not take boys out of school. It is the exception who does. I, myself, always deal with the school and the coach." Being curious, we ask him who he is going to sign up from Michi- gan but this scout guy crawls back into his shell. He says "there aren't many possibilities here ex- Oept with one or two or three exceptions." But he will not tell us who these exceptions are. * * * Mfore Str ategy . We still want to know who he has his eye on but seeing he is cagey we figure we will try to catch him un- awares later on. So we seem to be satisfied and shift his attention to another question. This question is "how does Michigan and Big Ten baseball compare with baseball in other parts of the country." "Well," he says, shifting his seegar from left to right, "it's pretty hard to get in Michigan and it's harder to stay in." We agreed openly at this point, but he continues in spite of it. "And maybe they don't take baseball as serious in this league as they do in the South and the East." We are wondering how we can find out who he's interested in but he still looks wary so we say "Who is going to win the American League pennant?" The seegar goes back to the left and his opinion goes with it., "Well," he begins again, "if someone besides us (Boston) can beat the Yanks then we'll win. But we can not win unless someone does beat1 them besides us." This sounds repe- titious to us but we say nothing. Well, one thing leads to an- other and soon it comes out that this baseball scout hasn't seen the Red Sox play since the southern spring trip and that the reason he became a scout was that he couldn't hit. He claims that he played one year in the majors, four years in the Texas League, and reels off a whole string of years adding up to 17 and then concludes by saying that he played four years in the Eastern League. Now this makes us slightly suspicious because the Eastern League was the name given to the National League before thy actually begin to call it the National League which time was a good while ago. This Mr. Hunter claims that the only two questions he exempts are: 1. how old are you and 2. how much do they pay you. We see our chance here and almost shout in glee "well, who are you looking at here?" But he outfoxes us again and replies "I'm looking at them all." We retreated in shame but figure we will do more snooping on the mor- row when this Mr. Hunter will re- turn to the ball orchard, as the re- porters call it. Netters Down Spartans, 6-3 Tohi, Kidwell, Percival, Durst Win In , Singles By ARNOLD DANA Capturing four singles matches and two doubles matches, the Wolverine netmen overpowered the Michigan State Spartans, 6-3, yesterday after- noon at Palmer Field. The win was the third in succession for the Weir- men, and the ninth of the year. Taking a 4-0 lead by sweeping the first four singles matches in straight sets, the Weirmen coasted through the doubles. Jim Tobin, Capt. Don Percival, John Kidwell, and Sam Durst were triumphant over their Michigan State foes. Kidwell made a brilliant comeback in his second set 1 1 and Sherm Olmsted, who finished int that order behind Gedeon last week, should repeat that performance. In the lows, Kelley and sophomore teammate Jeff Hall, who ran a deadl heat last week, will try to outdo each other, with Tom Harmon fighting it out with Buckeye Brandt for third; place.j Indoor Champion Jim Whittaker may finally be the man to push Ram- bling Ralph Schwarzkopf to break- ing Don Lash's two year old Ferry Field two-mile record of 9:18.7. At the same time, Schwarzkopf will at- tempt to break the jinx that has seen him defeated in every Ohio dual meet. Brad Heyl should take third for Michigan. The dashes will provide plenty of opportunity for Buckeye partisans to cheer as Co-Capt. Bob Lewis heads the pack. Lewis is outdoor 220 champ and last week ran 9.8 for the 100 andl 21.1 for the 220. Al Smith, who was second in the 60 yard dash indoors, will fight it out with the Buck ace,t with Carl Culver and Norm Purucker battling for third in both events. by winning six games in quick order' after being behind 5-1. For the Spartans, in the singles, Charles Gibbs and Irv Rawitz de- feated Jim Porter and Ed Morris. Rawitz, a former Michigan student,[ had to go three sets before van- quishing Morris. In the doubles play, the usual steady team of Jim Tobin and John Kidwell played very erratic tennis and went down in defeat to Fred Perkins and Chet Olson, 6-4, 6-2. However, their defeat was moreI than made up for by the other teams. Sam Durst and Steve Woolsey had little trouble in whitewashing their; opponents in the first set, 6-0, but when the Spartans changed courts,, with Gibbs moving to the left court; and Kositchek to the right, they were forced to go 16 games before tri- umphing, 9-7. SUMMARIE S Singles: Tobin (M) defeated Struck (MSC) 6-3, 6-2; Percival (M) de- feated Perkins (MSC) 6-4, 6-2. Kid- well (M) defeated Olson (MSC) 6-4, 7-5. Durst (M) defeated Kositchek (MSC) 6-3, 6-1.

Perkins, Olson (MSC) defeated Tobin, Kidwell (M) 6-4, 6-2. Durst, Woolsey (M) defeated Kositchek, Gibbs (MSC), 6-0, 9-7. ST. LOUIS, May 12.-(As)-In one of the best pitched games of the still young season, rookie Jack Kramer held the Detroit Tigers to two singles today and topped his performance by driving in the only run to give the St. Louis Browns a 1 to 0 victory. Kramer, a right-hander, retired the' first three men, walked Hank Green- berg to start the second inning, and then retired 15 straight batters be- fore Chet Laabs singled to start the seventh inning. The Browns scored in the fifth after Harland Clift walked and went to second on Joe Glenn's single. Johnny Berardino struck out and Don Heff- ner fouled out, but Kramer came through with a single to left, scoring Clift with the winning run.

There will be no admission charge. After being cut down to 30 minutes of play last spring, the game has again been restored to the regulation 60 minutes. Both squads were divid- ed with the idea of keeping them equal in strength, and there is a pro- portional balance between yearlings and veterans on each team. However, the Blues don't seem to think that the Yellows are their equals for on the Field House bulle- tin board they have scrawled the final score for today's tilt-Blue 45, Yellow 0. The last few days of prac- tice have seen the Blues go through their paces in a happy-go-lucky and noisy manner, while the Yellows have been more serious and determined, but confident. At 10 a.m. the squad will give a demonstration of various phases of the game before a gathering of ap- proximately 2,000 high school coaches and players representing 96 schools{ in the state. They will also be Athef guests of the athletic department at the afternoon tilt. In addition to serving as a test of the football team's ability as a whole, the game will also permit the coaches to see the individual candidates for the Chicago Alumni Trophy under fire. Today's performances will merely be used to see if the boys' play compares favorably with the pro- gress they made during the spring. It is not likely that the showings made in the scrimmage will be the deciding factors in the choice of the trophy winner, who will be announced Fri- day, May 19, but they will have some bearing.

Coach Courtright took along only, five men, with Tom Tussing in the fifth spot for the first time since he injured his hand early in the season. The first four men will be, as usual, Jack Emery, Jim Loar, Capt. Bob Palmer and Lynn Riess. Capt. Sid Richardson, Conference Individual "champ for the past two years, heads the Wildcat team. Rich- ardson, however, despite his record, has lost to Babbish of Detroit and Thompson of Iowa this year. Senior Art Bedrosian, returning af- ter a year's absence, plays number two, and will probably team with Richardson for the best ball match against Emery and Loar. Chester Bland, Frank Perpich and Charles will occupy the three, four and five spots; respectively. Of the five men who will play against the Wolverines, all except Fannon are Evans scholars, attend- ing the University on golf scholar-' ships given by Dick Evans, famed amateur golfer, and a Northwestern alumnus. 1 1 10 0 0 0 1 3 0 1 3 3 1 2 3 0 0 1 7 2 1 2 0 3 9 13 27 13 O 0 3 2 11 2 0 2 7 0 0 0 A 0 0 3 0 0 2 1 0 2 0 0 Totals ..........35 5 9 27 8 *Batted for Bond in 9th.
