&Y, MAY 17,1940 THE MICUICN IIY Michigan Nine Meets Purdue; Golf eam Tied BySpartans Netmen Washed Out Meet Wayne Today Rain or shine the Michigan tennis team will meet Wayne University this afternoon in a match which was washed out by the Weather Man yesterday. If weather conditions are favor- able, the match will be held on the Palmer Field courts at :3 p.m. Other- wise it will be played on the four indoor courts of the Sports Building, in which case the starting time will be advanced to 2 p.m. Yesterday's fdrced postponement was more or less welcomed by Coach LeRoy Weir since it afforded his overworked netmen a much-needed day of rest, which should benefit them immeasurably this afternoon.

SBetter,Authorzed, don wirtehafter's DAILY DOUBLE The W'iuds Came ... We felt mighty fine the other day when we noticed in the paper that Ray Fisher planned on starting a half-pint hurler named Mase Gould in the Ypsilanti ball game. There was the little fellow's chance, we thought ... a chance he's earned and deserved for a long time now. But Mase has had to battle against the breaks all the way, and they've fallen against him every time so far. It wasn't a very impressive sight when Gould reported for training as a sophomore last year.kFisher and many other coaches like big men, and Mase's hair, even after it's washed, was never more than five feet five inches from the pitching mound. Hurlers need rather large fingers to grip and curve the ball with, and Mase had troubles getting his digits around the resin bag. Pitchers need confidence and Mase lacked that too. He went into the fight with noth- ing on his side, it seemed, but after Fisher watched him work awhile, he decided that maybe the nothing-ball, kid might develop after all. His form was like a major league veter- an, but his curve and control resem- bled that of a street corner relief chucker. "My fingers are too small.

But Fish- er just patted the kid on the back and said, "Keep working, Mase. Your time will come." One of the first ball players out for practice this year was a fellow named Harold Mason Gould. He and his nothing-ball were back for more. Things were different this year, how- ever. Mase's fast ball had zip and steam. His curves were snapping. He had developed a good change of pace. Fisher watched him awhile and called him the "most improved" player on the team. Gould was on his way up. But he lacked just two things, steady control and the breaks. Mase had trouble finding the plate and when it came time for the spring trip Fisher had room for five pitch- ers on the roster, and in the coach's opinion, Gould was still only the sixth best. He kept at it though. The kid had guts and didn't give up the first time. When the team came back, it was little Mase who used to take care of the chucking du- ties during batting practice. At times, the Wolverines were com- pletely at his mercy. He had class and looked ready for ac- tion. But then again, there were times when the Gould pitches- dropped. over everything except the plate. And a batting practice hurler Mase remained until two weeks ago when Fisher took him aside and told him the time had come. The breaks fi- nally fell his way. Mase was to start the Ypsi game. The kid was all ex- cited. He was ready. He worked hard. Then Wednesday came. It was Mase's day. He made the trip with the team. His heart was beating faster than ever. He warmed up, and the curve was there. His arm never felt better. But Fisher took a look at the wind. It wasn't blowing Mase's way. The wind, just like the breaks, would have completely nullified the left-hander's curve if Ray had attempted to use him. And so a disappointed Mase Gould sat in the dugout Wednes- day while Fisher's right-handers tried their luck in a wind that was blowing their way. Michigan still has six ball games to play. Win or lose, wild or steady, the little fighter deserves some sort of a chance. Two Homers Give Phi Delts 9-8 Win A home runbarrage in the last two innings gave Pni Delta Phi a close 9-8 victory over Alpha Omega yesterday, breaking what had been a three-way tie for the leadin their division and sending the Phi Delts into the Professional Fraternity first-place playoffs. Trailing 8-1, going into the last half of the fifth, the winners cut down Alpha Omega's lead to four runs when Jim Brammer hit for the circuit with two men on. The Phi Delts held their opponents scoreless in the first half of the sixth, tied the game on John Mechem's four- bagger with the bases loaded, and took the decision when Bob Smith Varsity Seeks To Keep Alive Titular Hopes Bob Daily, Boilermaker's Ace Hurler, "It O)OppOSe Jack harry Ini Opener (Continued froAi Page 1) go. Baily who dropped a tough 3-2 decision to Jack Barry and the Wol- verines last year, will start today's game. The big righthander had the lowest earned-run average in the Con- ference in 1939. Rightfielder Bud Stamm, the team's leading hitter with an average of .324, and co-captain Felix Mackie- wicz, who batted .368 in the Big Ten race last year, are the Riveters' big guns at the plate. Coach Ray Fisher will string along with Jack Barry and Lyle Bond to take care of the pitching assign- ments for Michigan.
