THE MICHIGAN DAILY
Leads Again In Homers
1F approaching exams have not completely dulled our sense of calendar
perception, this Daily is the last of the current school year. And tradz-
tionally, the last issue is a fine excuse to drip with maudlin sentimentality,
gaze fondly over the past year in retrospect and offer a few of our own
ideas en what the next year is sure to bring.
Hank Greenberg, who has emerged
from his early season batting slump
is now pounding the ball hard with
11 home runs and 17 doubles to
lead both leagues in these divisions.
shocked his sensibilities. He looked
around carefully, said "Robert L"
and then walked away.
"Huh," we thought, "trying to suck
us into something. That's one horse
we won't bet."
But our friend was insistent. He
hadn't seen through this trick the
way we had. "Let's bet ten. This looks
like the way to make the dougp."
"Why you sap," we said, "You
were probably the one he was
looking at. He'd bet our dough
and do the same for as many
others as there were horses in
the race. Then he'd want some of
it. You're lucky you're not alone."
"Well, let's bet two bucks then,"
he said. "Maybe he was okay."
"Nothing doing," we said. 0
This went on for a couple of min-
utes and finally we bet some fugitive
from the glue factory. The winner of
the race? You guessed it, Robert L.

Wolverine Baseball Hopes Still Bright
Despite Departure Of Five Regulars

year's fine third-place showing by
the Wolverine nine, but he has some
promising material with which to
do it.
First baseman Elmer Gedeon, who
is now the property of the Washing-
ton Senators, second baseman Pete
Lisagor, and this year's captain and
third baseman, Walt Peckinpaugh, are
outgoing seniors, as are catcher Leo
Beebe and pitcher Danny Smick.
New Faces In Infield
Fisher's first job will be to fill in
the gaping holes left in the infield.
His problem is partly solved already;
for sophomore Bill Steppon, a second
baseman by trade, has already been
broken in via utility service and al-
though he batted only .217 for the
season, he was always a dangerous
batter.
Steppon will team up with Mike
Sofiak, peppery sophomore short-
stop of this year's nine in what should
develop into one of the smoothest
second-base combinations in many a
year at Michigan.
First base will probably remain a
question mark right up to the start of
the 1940 season, with the veteran
"Hank" Greenberg, sophomore George
Ruehle, and Herman ",Lefty" Gra-
feld of the freshman club, in the
thick of the fight for the position left
vacant by Elmer Gedeon.
Third Base In Doubt
Somewhat of a headache confronts
Fisher when the question of third
base comes up. Walt Peclinpaugh, a
.290 batter this year and a depend-
able fielder, will be hard to replace.
Sophomore Art Bergeson and fresh-
man Francis "Bud" Chamberlain.
although both inexperienced, are
figured to lead the candidates.
Behind the plate; Fisher must come
through with a field general to rival
Leo Beebe's ability, and he has Forest
Evashevski, Beebe's understudy and
a potential slugger with a fine arm,
Howard Mehaffey, Clarence Bergs-
ma, and freshmen George Harms
and Bob Westphal, from which to
choose.
Pink Leads Outfielders
Captain-elect Charley Pink, who
led the Wolverines with a .377 mark
this year, heads an imposing out-
field array, and will again play cen-
ter field, with Fred Trosko in left.
Competition will be keen for the re-
maining post in right field. Ruehle,
if he doesn't win the first base job,
will probably get the nod, although
he must beat out Horace Tinker, Bill
Cartmill, Bill Luther and freshmen
Dave Nelson and Don Holman, to do
it.
The success of the pitching depart-
ment will largely depend upon this
year's sophomores. Jack Barry, who
won six out of eight games and com-
piled an enviable 1.16 earned run
average for the season, will be the
man around whom Fisher will at-
tempt to build a winning staff.
Another "iron man" to join Barry
must be found from among juniors
Russ Dobson, Ralph Bittinger, Char-
ley O'Brien and Tommy Netherton;
sophomores Lyle Bond, Les Viegel,
Maynard Stoddard, and southpaw
Dean Du Bois; and freshmen Steve
Vukas and Paul Goldsmith. Vukas,
promising fast-ball pitcher, is held
in high esteem by Fisher.
The Intramural Building will
close at 6 p.m. Friday, June 9. All
lockers must be renewed for the
summer or vacated on or before
that date. The Summer Session
fee, June 26 to Aug. 18, is two dol-
lars with a fifty cent towel and
lock refund.
