Varsity's Baseball Game with Notre Dame Is Called Off 2' Nine Works at Home For Week-End Games By JO ANN PETERSON With a late spring blizzard sweep- ing into South Bend yesterday morn- ing, Coach Ray Fisher's baseball squad was notified not to make the trip to play against the Irish team by Coach Jake Kline of the Notre Dame nine. Kline called Ray Fisher yesterday morning just as the team was about to leave, and told him that playing was out of the question. It is impossible for the teams to xnake up this game because both nines have a full schedule, and Fish- er said, "We're just going to forget about that game." Work Out in Wind Ann Arbor weather wasn't any too favorable for baseball yesterday af- ternoon either, with a strong wind making Ferry Field definitely on the frosty side, but the squad had out- door workout, notwithstanding. in order to warm the players up, Coch Fisher had pitcher Don Smith put the ball right over the plate, and the men were given a chance to hit for all they were worth. At the same time Fisher used his starting fielders to take care of the hit balls, giving them invaluable practice, and warm- ing them up at the same time, too. Shortstop Howie Wikel played ex- ceptionally cagey ball, picking up grounders and shooting fast, accur- ate throws to first baseman Dick Walterhouse. Likewise Don Lund covered his territory with notable vigor, making several near-shoe- string catches. Outfield Looks Good Despite the terrific wind, the en- tire outfield looked very fine during this drill, and from every angle the throws to first base showed increased efficiency and speed. Smith, a southpaw pitcher, made several excellent plays, picking up bunts and slow hits along the third base line, hard chances for a left- hander to handle. He also made two very brilliant stops of balls hit squarely at him, and made good on his toss-outs at first. The nine meets Michigan. Normal Friday in its first home game, and then takes on Michigan State Satur- day. It is expected that Fisher will pitch Boim, Cain and possibly Dick Drury in Friday's game, as they were the boys slated for the Notre Dame battle, and will start Fishman again in Saturday's encounter. Broncos Open Net Season On Saturday KALAMAZOO, April 13.- (f)- With Harold Gensichen, sensational basketball star from South Bend, as the only veteran back for the 1943 tennis team, the Bronco netters will open the season next Saturday with the University of Wisconsin, one of the three Big Ten teams listed on the schedule, shortened almost half because of travel restrictions. Three Kalamazooans, two sopho- mores, Bill Honey and John Hoekie, and a freshman, John Milroy, and two freshmen from Milwaukee, Wis., Bob Stuckert, Wisconsin State Sin- gles Champion, and Donald Pullam,. will comprise the balance of the Bronco team. The schedule: April 17-Wisconsin at Kalamazoo April 23-Northwestern at Evanston April 27-Michigan at Ann Arbor May 1-Notre Dame at Notre Dame May (Date not set)-Central Michi- gan at Kalamazoo May 14-Central Michigan at Mt. Pleasant May 15-Michigan State at East Lansing May 22-Michigan State at Kala- mazoo. Famed Count Fleet Victorious In 1943 Debut Derby Favorite Takes Tune Up with Ease; Wood Memorial Next NEW YORK, April 13.-(P)-Count Fleet came to the races today for the first time this year-and definitely proved he is no myth. The Kentucky Derby glamour boy -shortest priced future book favor- ite in Derby histoi'y-who has re- ceived as many headlines over the winter as a movie star, made every- one of them "stand up." He did it the hard way, too-over a sloppy track, spotting weight to a couple of other well-liked Derby can- didates, and running into some bad racing luck. And still he won by four lengths with no more trouble than he has dipping into his oat- buoket. For jockey Johnny Longden, who just grabbed himself a handful of hair and hung on, the once-around the Jamaica track was like a ride on a merry-go-round-that's how easy it turned out. Bossuet, who ran a bang-up sec- ond in the experimental handicap last week and was given considerable consideration as a result, was the best of the others-four lengths back of the Count and five in front of M. Slifkin's Towser, who took the show spot by a head from Four Freedoms, one of Mrs. Payne Whitney's Derby hopes. Another of the Whitney stan- dard bearers for the big May 1 heat, Famous Victory, wound up fifth. .Having had so much fun in his debut, Count Fleet will try it again Saturday in the $25,000 Wood Mem- orial here and then head for Louis- ville. Athletics Sign Blanton WILMINGTON, Del., April 13.- (P)- Cy Blanton, veteran right hand pitcher, was signed today by the Philadelphia Athletics. BOB FIFE .. .one of the three returning veterans on the golf team who is almost certain to start in Michi- gan's matches this year. Detroiter Medalist in North-South Amateur PINEHURST, N.C., April 13.- (?)- Corporal Ronnie Williams of Detroit, now at Camp Butner, near Durham, won the medal today in the 18-hole qualifying round of the 43rd annual North and South Amateur Golf Championship with a one over par 73. Ralph T. Strafaci of Brooklyn, N.Y., brother of former North and South Amateur Titlist Frank Stra- faci, was runner-up with 36-39-75. By BUD LOW Last Saturday Mickey Fishman pitched and won his first ball game of the 1943 season, and in so doing defeated Iowa for the first time in 19 home games. Fishman allowed 10 hits but he kept them well scattered, and with men on the base paths he bore down, giving up three runs while his teammates collected seven. This is the type of game that Mickey usually pitches-and it's the smart way to play ball. When your team is ahead by a comfortable mar- gin, throw the rawhide in there and let the opposing batters get a few hits now and then. Save yourself for the tight spots, and then bear down until the side is retired. Not all hurlers can pitch this brand of ball because it takes a steady, consistent moundsman to do it, but Mickey can, and don't let any- one fool you-the jovial senior has just the right change of pace and steadiness that will allow him to bear down only in the clutches. Last year Fishman was one of the leading hurlers in the Conference, winning four and losing one against Big Ten opponents. Probably Mickey's greatest thrill, and at the same time one of his big- NVewest Draf t Law Bolsters Indi~ans, Giants NEW YORK, April 13.-()P)-Base- ball executives today still were pon- dering the effect of the government's newest draft regulations and their first reactions were mixed because some clubs apparently may be helped and others may be hurt by the chan- ges. The New York Giants and Cleve- land Indians are two of the teams that expect to receive a lift from the order which directed that fathers of children born before Sept. 15, 1942 be placed in 3-A and deferred as long as possible. Ray'Mack, second baseman of the Indians, recently was classed 1-A by his draft board and notified to be ready to answer a call for induction. Since he has an 18-months-old baby, however, the Indians now believe hie will be returned to a 3-A classifica- tion and probably be available to them throughout the season. Sid Gordon, rookie third baseman who has figured large in the Giants' plans, is in a similar situation. Links Letterman gest' disappointments, was the one hitter he pitched against Northwest- ern last May. This was one of the few times that the Wolverine moundsman really put the pressure on all the way. Two men were out in the Wildcat half of the ninth, and up to that time Fishman had hurled hitless ball, al- lowing only three men to reach base. Mickey walked the next batter after the count had been knotted at three and two. Heavy hitting Ed Hirsch was up, and he promptly lined a single to center, and with that first Northwestern safety went the Michi- gan star's bid to the Maize and Blue Hall of Fame. Mickey just naturally comes from an athletic family. His oldest broth- er, Ben, won a letter in swimming in 1930. Then in 1934 Mannie earned one in basketball. Herm, the most famous of the Fishman clan, won six varsity letters, three in basketball and three in baseball in the years THE FOURTH FISHMAN: Mickey Excels as Clutch Pitcher 61 --m----- 1936-38. Later Herm pitched for Syracuse in the International League and Winston-Salem of the Piedmont League. When Mickey won his letter in baseball last year the Fishman fam- ily became the first in the history of Michigan athletics to have four let- ter-winning brothers. In his high school days at Detroit's Northern High, the youngest of the Fishmans won two letters in swim- ming and three in baseball. Then in his senior year his teammates hon- ored him by electing him captain of the baseball squad. Since Coach Ray Fisher has only six veterans on hand, and because four of these are pitchers, a great deal of the burden will be carried by the mound staff. Fishman, along with Pro Boim, will probably shoul- der most of the Conference pitching assignments, and these two hurlers will provide Fisher with an excellent one-two punch. I DON'T GIVE A DARN We'll go too thNION DANCING at the UNN COLLEGE BASEBALL' Illinois 7, Western Ill. Teachers 4 Highlights in Major League Baseball Tigers 6, Cubs 4 GEORGE FIELD, Ill., April 13.- 1)-The'Detroit' Tigers and Chicago Cubs, unable to keep their exhibition date at Vincennes, Ind., today, be- cause of weather conditions, moved to this nearby advanced air base where the Tigers pounded out a 6 to 4 victory in a game cut to five inn- ings. The Tigers scored in each of their four innings despite three Cub double Plays, nicking four Chicago pitchers for 11 hits. One was a homer by Roger Cramer. Dick Wakefield con- tributed a double and single. Dom Dallessandro homered for one of the seven hits the Cubs got off Hal New- houser and Frank Overmire. Red Sox 17, Boston Col. 2 BOSTON, April 13. -(A)- Boston College's baseball Eagles opened their season today against a big opponent-the Boston Red Sox-and lost by a big score, 17 to 2, but col- legian Bill Boyce fared better pitch- ing to the American Leaguers than did a pair of their own hurlers bor- rowed for the game., Yank Terry and Norman Brown each pitched against their team- mates for three innings and yielded nine hits apiece. Then Boyce took over, to set down the Red Sox one- two-three in the seventh, for the first time of the -game, and hold them hitless in the eighth. other two Brooklyn runs with singles in the second and fourth innings. An error by shortstop Arky Vaughan contributed to the Giants' lone run in the third.

Of 72 Major League scribes who participated in the annual Associ- ated Press survey of the senior cir- cuit, 54 rate the Redbirds as likely to repeat and the others figured manager Billy Southworth's speed demons would be no worse than sec- ond or third. This tide in favor of the Cardinals was bucked by only 18 observers, who cast 11 first place votes for the Brooklyn Dodgers, four for the Cin- cinnati Reds and three for the Chi- cago Cubs. Many of the writers made note on their ballots of the uncertainties facing all baseball clubs this season, but the fact that the Cardinals have good reserve strength as well as an imposing starting array supported their selection. The probable order of the finish, as predicted by the writers, is St. Louis, Brooklyn, Cincinnati, Chicago, New York, Pittsburgh, Boston and Philadelphia.
