Michigan, on the basis of victory over the Buckeyes in indoor competi- tion this year and a three point edge over them in the indoor Big Ten meet, will be rated a slight edge over the Ohioans today. But the Bucks have many potential first-place win- ners and will offer Michigan plenty of competition in every eventfon the card. Wright, Ohio State's sensational hurdler, is almost a certainty to take first place in both the high and low hurdles and will probably place at least third in the 100 yard dash. Wright has run the high hurdles in 14.4 seconds in previous meets and it is virtually conceded that he will (Continued on Page 3) Baseball Team Loses First Big Ten Game By MYRON DANN Sparked by smiling Al Grant, who limited the local lads to four scat- tered hits, the Illinois baseball team handed Michigan their first Confer- ence defeat of the season, 3-2. The Wolverine big guns failed to explode in their customary manner and Cliff Wise's three-run hurling went for nought. Michigan got off to an early start without making a hit when Dave Nelson led off in the first inning with a walk and broke 'for second on, the first pitch to Whitey Holman. Dave went all the way to third when catcher Bill Brewer threw the ball into center field. Holman hit an easy ' - - Varsity Relay Teams To Fly To West Coast By HAL WILSON Sports Editor Michigan's crack mile and two- mile relay teams will fly to the West Coast to compete in the annual Los Angeles Coliseum Relays May 24, Coach Ken Doherty announced yes- terday.

Hotel Employes Charged With Prolonging Leave NEW YORK, May 9.-('P)-Fash- ionable hotels, clubs and restaurants were invaded today by Immigration Inspectors and city detectives stag- ing the second roundup of the week against foreigners suspected of being in this country illegally. The quarry this time consisted of Italians, mostly waiters. Seized in raids in several cities Wednesday were 160 German seamen, all charged with overstaying theircleave in the United States. Repeating Wednesday's procedure by moving swiftly and with no ad- vance warning, the officers made 26 arrests within three hours, and offi- cers armed with warrants were still engaged in the search. Byron Uhl, District Immigration Director, said he had no figure on the total number rounded up but it was unofficially estimated at between 35 and 40. Among the places employing the aliens were the Ambassador, Ritz- Carlton and Pierre Hotels and a res- taurant in Rockefeller Center's R.C.A. Building. Diplomats See Indication Of New l usso-German Understanding In Move Sail ings To China, Red Sea Announced MOSCOW, May 9.-(AP)-Soviet Russia today withdrew her recogni- tion of three German-occupied coun- tries whose emigre governments are allied with the British, and diplomatic sources relieved Joseph Stalin, in his first act as preni ier, was patching up his differences with Germany. The Foreign Office sent notes to the ministers of Yugoslavia, Bel- gium and Norway, notifying them their ministerial powers had lost va- lidity. Only a month ago, Yugoslav- ia and the Soviet Union negotiated a friendship agreement, Foreign diplomats saw in this an indication of a new understanding with Germany, one by whichStalin hopes to further the Soviet policy of peace and neutrality. Whether it means Russia will join the Axis cannot be foretold. Germany's previous offer to con- vert the tripartite pact into a Berlin- Rome-Tokyo-Moscow accord was de- clined by V. M. Molotov, then prem- ier, during his visit to Adolf Hitler ini November. This became known at the conclus- ion last month of the Soviet-Japanese neutrality pact. However, the Pravda article which disclosedthe refusal said the Soviet government "at that time". did not find it possible to ac- cept the offer. In any event, diplomatic circles believe the situation has changed since the German Ambassador, Count Friedrich Werner von der Schulen- berl, returned to Moscow a week ago after talking to Hitler. U.S. Sailings To China, Red Sea Announced W4SHINGTON,'May 9.-(IP)-The direct, or almost direct, delivery of American supplies to British forces in the Middle East was'strongly in- dicated today by a Maritime Commis- sion announcement that American ships would soon be sailing into th Red Sea. At the same time, the Commission said that sailings to China would be increased in the near future, which some interpreted as meaning that American help to that country in its war with Japan would be corres- pondingly stepped up. Detais of the sailings and of the cargoes to be car- ried to China, and to the Red Sea, were carefully kept secret. The Red Sea constitutes the eat- ern approach to the Suez Canal, a vital point in the British system of Empire transportation. While major fighting continued between British and Italian forces in Ethiopia and elswhere in Eastern Africa, the Red Sea was defined as a, "combat zone" and American vessels' were forbidden to enter it. Several weeks ago, however, Presi- dent Roosevelt removed it from that classification and said ghat American vessels could go all the way into the Suez Canal, itself. Taken in conjunc- tion with recent events, the Mari- time Commission's announcement was of prime importance. May Festival Audience Has Insatiable Appetite There is nothing so persistent as an Ann 'Arbor concert audience, The one of more than 5,000 attend- ing the fourth-May Festival concert last night in Hill Auditorium, after calling back Miss Dorothy Maynor- 10 or 11 times and receiving one en- core, was told in lauglng protest by Miss Maynor: "I'm sorry, I haven't any more."' But nothing daunted, the audience persisted in its enthusiasm, and fin- ally wrung one more offering from Miss Maynor-a Negro spiritual with- out orchestra accompaniment. Two numbers later, it also worked Dr. Eugene Ormandy and the Phila- delnhia Orchestra for two extra selec- t for trouble. Smiling Al kept ahead of most of the batters who ,faced him and stopped any Michigan batter from hitting to the outfield until the sixth inning. As far as Cliff was concerned the opposite thing happened. The Illi- nois team started to hit the ball hard- er and more men reached first base (Continued on Page 3) Munn, Martineau To Coach Teams Ay BUD HENDEL Spring football practice comes to a close this afternoon when Coach Fritz Crisler sends his gridiron forces into action on the green Stadium turf at 4 p.m. in the annual intra- squad game here.

Each year more than 300 boys are sent to the Fresh Air Camp on Pat- terson Lake in Livingston County with the funds collected in the annual Fresh Air Camp Tag Day, which will be held Friday, May 16. In addition to these 300 boys, 40 graduate students in sociology, psy- chology and education spend their summer at the camp working during this period with the underprivileged children to complete the requirements of the advanced courses in their var- ious fields. These counselors are enrolled in the summeir session of the Tniver- standing of the problems of these boys. The observations of the counsellors made during this summer period are used to give social workers and edu- cators a better understanding of the problems of underprivileged child- ren and of their relation to the com- munity. The case studies made at the Camp are followed up during the year by fulltime coun'sellors who re- main the constant friends and com- panions of the boys sent to Camp. The funds collected on Tag Day make this 'possible. Every year or- ganizations and student volunteers combine their effortsin order to gain funds to carry on the work of the Camp for that year. \I Prof. E. N.
