vt-'A'Z, T HE AiCHIGAN DAILY 7i7HE MICHIGAN iThILX7 ~%AZT aiF.iT Miehfrgau Netters Take Irish, 54; Nine Crushes Ypsi, 8-0 Netmen Capture Three Singles, Two Doubles Meet Decided by Final Doubles Victory of Boucher and Brown; Johnson Scores Upset By HARVEY FRANK Capturing three singles and two doubles matches, Michigan's tennis team opened its 1943 'season by edg- ing out Notre Dame, 5-4, yesterday on the Ferry Field courts. The Wolverines won the number two, three, and five singles, and the number two and three doubles. The meet was decided by the last match, the third doubles, when Roy Boucher and Merle Brown defeated the Irish duo of Dick Doermer and John Haig in straight sets, 6-3, 8-6. In the top singles match, Michi- gan's Roger Lewis played some of his best tennis but couldn't match the superior playing of highly-rated *Jitmy Evert. Lewis took the open- ing game in the first set and one ,qther when the score was 4-1 against him, but then Evert took the next eight games to win, 6-2, 6-0. Johnson Scores Upset Captain Jinx Johnson scored some- thing of an upset by trouncing high- ly touted Bobby Faught, Notre Dame number two man, 6-4, 0-6, 6-1. The first set was pretty even, but in the second, Faught had things more or less his way, and when he took the first game of the last set, it looked like he'd go on to win with ease. However, Johnson then started turning out his best brand of tennis, capturing the next six games and the match. Roy Bradley, Michgian number three man, scored the Wolverines' mnost decisive win, beating John Troup, 6-1, 6-4. Bradley played his u;sual steady tennis, capitalizing on the erratic play of his opponent. In the number four singles match, Ed Caparo of Notre Dame defeated Fred Wellington in another upset. Wellington, rated a chance to start in one of the top three places for the Maize and Blue, didn't seem to get going until he had lost the first set 6-1, and was trailing 2-0 in the second. But then he battled Caparo to nine up before losing 11-9. Boucher gave Michigan its final singles victory by conquering Doer- mer in the fifth bracket, 6-3, 7-5. In the second set the visitor took a 4-0 lead, but Boucher took the nex' four, lost one, and then won the next three games and the match. In the final singles contest, Lyle Joyce of Notre Dame defeated Fred Sleator of Michigan, 6-3, 6-1. The win for the Irish tied the meet up at the timhe at three matches apiece. Win Two Doubles Then the Wolverines took the meet by capturing two out of the three doubles tilts. Lewis and Wellington both beaten In their singles matches, gave the number one Irish combina- tion of Evert and Faught an un- expected scare by taking the opening set, 6-4. But then the visitors same back to take the next two, 6-2, 6-2. Evert put away placement after placement with a beautiful drop-shot and an accurate overhead to offset the determined playing of the Michi- gan duo. Lewis and Bradley made them- selves double winners by taking their number two doubles tilt in straight sets fr-om Toup and Caparo. They were pushed to 7-5 in winning the first set, but had too much for their foes and won the"- second, 6-3. Thinclads in 'Penn Relays This Afternoon Doherty Expected To Enter Boys in Four Relays and Shot Put Although the Penn Relays program has Michigan listed as competing in six relay events, Coach Ken Doherty is not expected to enter more than four of the team relays this after- noon and tomorrow at Philadelphia.

If this quartet is beaten it will be an upset., The four-mile team of Bob Hume,' Ernie Leonardi, Ross Hume and Matthews stands a good chance of placing. Golfers To' Play Here Tomorrow By JEAN GASKELL Michigan linksmen took advantage of the excellent golf weather yester- day to get in tune for the triangular matches to be played here at the University course with Notre Dame and Michigan State tomorrow. The five men who played against Ohio State a week ago are certain to play for the Wolverines in their first home match. Captain Ben Smith, Bill Ludolph, Bob Fife, Ros- coe Bonisteel, Jr., and John Leidy compose the quintet which will be- gin play at 8:00 in the morning. Four or five other golfers will sup- plement these regulars. Duncan Noble and Paul O'Hara will definitely play. The other men will be chosen from Phil Marcellus, Doug Beath, John Bishop, and Bob Welling. The definite number and playing times will be decided as soon as it is learn- ed how many men the Spartans plan to use. The match should show some marked improvement in the play of the entire Michigan squad. Most members of the team have turned in good score cards in the last two days, and have proved to Coach Ray Courtright that he was right when he said all they needed was practice. Smith's card of 33 for the nine he played yesterday was the low for the season thus far. Coach Courtright was well pleased with the return of Marcellus. Phil was a letterman last year, and helped the Wolverines to the Big Ten title. He carded a 76 yesterday in his sec- ond appearance on the links. NEW YORK, April -22.--(IP)- Probable pitchers in the Major Leagues tomorrow: American League: Boston at Philadelphia-Pob- son vs. Christopher (only game scheduled). National League: No games scheduled. Starting urler Baseball Squad Faces Illinois Today, Saturday Michigan Batters Get 12 Safeties While Five Wolverine Hurlers Allow Normal Only 3 Hits f By BUD LOW Climbing all over two Michigan Normal pitchers for 12 hits and eight runs, Michigan scored its third tri- umph of the season, preparatory to playing host to Illinois today and to- morrow. The Maize and Blue again received three-hit pitching from two veterans and three freshmen, and strangely enough it was the rookies who held the Hurons hitless. Bill Cain was the starting pitcher for the Wolverines, and in the two innings that he work- ed he was nicked for two of the three Ypsi safeties. Don McIntosh came in to relieve Cain in the third, and retired six consecutive men before Dick Savage came into hit for him in the bottom half of the fourth. Savage pitched two frames and then Coach Ray Fisher lifted him in favor of Dick Drury, who hurled the seventh and eighth innings without allowing a man to reach first. Dick Schmidtke finished on the mound for the Var- sity. Michigan Gets Fast Start The Wolverines got away to a fast start in the first inning when they tallied three runs on a single, a double, a walk and a triple. Mike Farnyk led off with a single to left, went to second on a walk, and stole third. Bob Nussbaumer doubled to right center to bring Farnyk in from third. Don Lund walked, and Bruce Blanchard forced Nussbauner at third. Dick Walterhouse then slam- med out a terrific triple to deep right to bring in Lund and Blanchard. After two men were out in the fourth, the Varsity scored two more runs on a single by Howie Wikel, Elmer Swanson's double, and a single by Dick Savage. Grieg Relieves Gabriel Charlie Grieg came in to relieve Dick Gabriel on the mound for the Hurons at the beginning of the sev- enth inning, and the Wolverines, showing no favorites, pushed across another tally. Charlie Ketterer drop- ped a Texas Leaguer into short left and then proceeded to steal second. Wiese beat out a hit to second, send- ing Ketterer to third. After Wiese stole second Lund grounded to third but was safe when Dave Skiba drop- ped the ball at first. Ketterer scam- pered home on the play. The Wolverines again tallied two runs after two were out in the eighth. Swanson beat out a hit to short. Fied Leemhuis grounded to the pitcher, who lobbed it over Skiba's head at first; Swanson took third and Leemhuis went to second on the play. Paul White then beat out a hit to second, scoring Swanson and sending Leemhuis to third. After White stole second, Leemhuis scored when the third baseman made a bad throw to first on Ketterer's ground ball. BILL CAIN Just Rolln ln LZF~l 12 MICH.

Each year baseball wins thousands if new fans. The reason for their" interest vary from being born in Brooklyn to being exposed to the game because Dad and brother just have to hear the game every day on the radio. Baseball isn't the easiest game in the world to catch on to. One of the most difficult tasks of the newly recruited fan is to learn the o1qrful vernacular of America's favbrite game. *iere are just a few phrases for the CLASSIFIED DIRECTORY HELP WANTED STUDENT for janitor work. 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., 6 days per week. 81c per hour.

(All people who consider themselves edu- cated in baseball lore and lingo please stop here, because this article from now on is strictly for begin- ners.) Annie Oakley was a great woman shooter in her day but to the base- ball fan that is a base on balls. The term bean-ball is not to be taken literally. It is a ball thrown close to the batter's head. The place where the pitchers warm up is known as the- bull pen. When a sport's announcer says that one was "right down the alley," he means that the ball went right! over the plate for a perfect strike. The keystone sack is second base and the keystone combination is short- stop and second base. A round-house has nothing to do with the local railroad yards. To the dyed-in-the-wool sports fan that is a sweeping curve. When a fielder nabs a liner off his shoetops that is a shoestring catch. A Texas Leaguer is a term heard time and time again. It is a looping curve that drops safe- ly between the infield and the out- field. With this start of a bit of the base-I ball lingo coupled with some ele- mentary knowledge of how the game is played, the rookie will get as much fun out of watching a baseball game as anyone who has watched the game for years. Bronco Nine Upsets IlHini KALAMAZOO, Mich., April 22.- ()-Warren Biddle, Eaton Rapids, freshman hurler, turned in one of the greatest Bronco pitching tri- umphs in years when he handcuffed an undefeated Illinois aggregation today with three hits, with Western Michigan College winning its opener, 6-2. After the opening inning when John Bero's error on Joe Vanre- weghe's roller, a base on balls to Boyd Bartley and Bernie Compton's error at short on Tony Butkovich's roller gave Illinois two runs, they were helpless.

While Trucks waxed stronger at-the game progressed, 33-year-old Mel Harder, bespectacled right-hander, like Tommy Bridges 24 hours earlier, wilted in the late innings and had tough going. The Tigers slammed Harder for nine hits and three runs in the eight innings he worked, and they nailed langy Earl Center, rookie hight- hander, for two hits and a run in the ninth. Cramer singled each time he came to the plate and scored twice. * * CUBS 4, PIRATES 3 CHICAGO, April 22.-(IP)-Allow- ing Pittsburg only five hits, Claude Passeau and Eddie Hanyzewski pitched the Chicago Cubs to a 4-3 victory over the Pirates today, even- ing the season's opening series at a game apiece. Passeaucpitched two-hit ball for six frames, but weakened in the seventh when the Pirates bunched three singles and a pass for two runs and a 3-3 tie. Pinch hitters Jim Was- dell and Johnny Barrett singled across the tying runs. RED SOX 1, ATHLETICS 0 PHILADELPHIA, April 22.-()- A line drive double by Pete Fox in the fourth inning was converted into a 1-0 victory for the Boston Red Sox today as Tex Hughson and Jess Flores opened the American League season here with a brilliant pitching duel before 4.553 at Shibe Park. YANKS 5, SENATORS 4 NEW YORK, April 22.-()-The New York Yankees weren't able to get their American League pennant raised today, because of a broken halyard on the centerfield flagpole, but they managed to win their open- ing game from the Washington Sen- ators 5 to 4 before 5,860 fans. It was Roy Weatherly, the little centerfielder obtained from Cleve- land to fill the big void left in the Yankees' lineup by Joe Dimaggio's entry into the Army, who nailed down the victory. * * REDS 1, CARDINALS 0 CINCINNATI, April 22.-OP)-The Cincinnati Reds claimed their fourth striaght extra-inning, one-run vic- tory today-two exhibition and two regular-as Ray Starr, took full ad- vantage of the new dehydrated ball to blank the world champion St. Louis Cardinals again, 1-0. * * * DODGERS 5, GIANTS 2 BROOKLYN, April 22.-(P)-The Brooklyn Dodgers got away on the right foot today in their National League pennant campaign by belting the New York Giants 5 to 2 gefore 16,775 fans at Ebbets Field. Ed Head held the Giants to six hits and after the first inning was never in danger. In the opening frame he fanned three batters, but allowed a couple of hits to get mixed in be- tween for a New York run.
