aiUIAX, u u, TnTi MtICHIGAN DOAILY Ypsilanti nne Bows to Wolverines; .Practice Game Gives Second Team, 3,-1, Win Outfielder McKeachic Drives in Winning Run; Detroit Amateur Squad Plays Here Today By WALT KLEE Taking advantage of two errors and a wild pitch in the eighth inning, the Michigan baseball team's B Squad scored two runs to win a 3-1 prac- tice game from the Michigan State Normal team from Ypsilanti. Yesterday's victory was the first in two practice games scheduled for this weekend, the first team meeting the Arthur's Clothes amateur nine from Detroit at 2:00 p.m. today on the Ferry Field diamond. Game Dull affair Yesterday's practice game was a dull affair that saw the "Teachers" commit seven missplays while the victorious Wolverines were guilty of two. Each team was weak at the plate dividing six hits equally be- tween them. Duane McKeachie was the big gun for the Wolverines with two singles and a long sacrifice fly to centerfield which scored the third Maize and Blue run. Paul Veith's single in the seventh inning was the only other Michigan safety. McCoy in Charge Assistant baseball coach Ernie Mc- Coy was in charge of the B team yes- terday while Ray Fisher had the Boxing in State Boycotted by 100 Managers Protest Over Cancelled Smith-McQuillan Bout DETROIT, April 12 - (A') - New York's boxing managers' guild, an organization of approximately 100 managers representing nearly 90 per cent of the nation's best fighters, has clamped a boycott on the state of Michigan as a result of recent sus- pension and fining of a member by John J. Hettche, chairman of the Michigan Athletic Commission. Hettehe was advised today that the guild has prohibited its members from making matches in Michigan as a result of a complaint by Angelo Pucci, who asserted that Jimmy Jones, manager of Petey Smith, New- ark lightweight, was given "unfair treatment" when he recently brought Smith here for a bout with Bobby McQuillar, of Port Huron, Mich. The fight, scheduled March 18 at Arena Gardens, was ordered can- celled by the state commission be- cause Smith failed to make a con- tact weight of 135 pounds. As a re- sult of last-minute cancellation pro- moter Orville Godfrey was forced t refund admissionsprice to approxi- mately 2,000 fans and soon an- nounced his retirement as a pro- moter. Smith, unable to fill a postpone- ment date because of a previous com- mitment to fight in New Jersey, was set down indefinitely and both he and Jones were assessed $150 fines by the Michigan commission. Pucci, who is Jones' booking agent, told the guild that Smith had ac- cepted the Detroit fight on short no- tice without agreeing to make any special weight. Hettche denied this, however, declaring that he is in pos- session of a signed and witnessed contract for Smith to make 135 pounds. first team engaging in a long batting practice on the diamond at the south end of Ferry Field. Tom Urquhart started on the mound for the Michigan team and allowed Rod Cambreau, the first man to face him to reach first base on a single .to left field. Bob Saxton and Pat Morrison followed Urquhart to the mound before Dick Savage came on to pitch the last three innings for the Wolverines. Savage in Trouble Savage was the only Wolverine hurler to face any trouble. The Teachers loaded the bases in the top half of the eighth with a walk, an er- ror and a single before the Wolverine righthander retired a man. He got by with only one run, made on a long fly ball to left field, as he fanned one and Chuck Nemeth was caught steal- ing on a beautiful peg by Michigan's catcher, Al Capaferi. But then the Wolverines scored two runs on two errors, by the catcher and second baseman, a wild pitch and a sacrifice. Game Today Today's game will see the team that Fisher plans to start in the sea- son opener next Friday against Wayne. Walt Kell will play at the third base position and probably bat in the lead off slot. , Bob Nussbaumer will bat second and play in centerfield. Don Robin- son will be at short and bat in the third slot. In the cleanup position will be Jack Weisenberger, who will take a defensive post in left field. Tallet at First Fisher will probably start Jack Tallet at first, although there is a possibility that Ed Bahlow may get the nod. Batting sixth will be the right fielder, Bob Chappuis followed by Dom Tomasi who will cover the keystone sack. Elmer Swanson will bat in eighth position and take care of the back- stopping duties. Michigan will prob- ably use five pitchers, Cliff Wise and the four B-Men, Bliss Bowman, Dick Bodycombe, "Pro" Boim and Earl Block. Baseball Scores At Davenport, Iowa.

Weir stated that the outdoor sessions might change the present position holders but not to any great degree. r __ One of the outstanding high school events of this state wil take place this evening when the annual River Rouge Invitational Relays gets un- der way at Yost Field House at 7:30 p.m. Approximately 800 athletes from 37 high schools will participate. They come from all over Michigan, rang- ing from Traverse City 250 miles away to Ann Arbor High School, right down the street from the Field House. The only important area which will not be represented is De- troit, since the high schools there are not eligible to compete outside the city. 100 Enter Sprints Some idea of the size and scope of the meet can be gathered from inter- esting statistics on its organization. There are 100 entries in the sprints alone, and it will be necessary to have 14 heats of eight men each to select the finalists in that event. The same is true in the hurdles, and there are 75 entries in the high jump. Be- cause of the ciowded conditions, some of the heats w~ill be held outside of the Ferry Field track. The qualifying heats alone will take four hours, be- ginning at 1 p.m. Many other problems have arisen in conducting a meet of such huge proportions. Meals have to be provid- ed for the 800 trackmen, their coach- es and trainers. In order to handle the athletes' clothing while they are competing, 2600 clothes checks and 1000 hangers have been provided. Michigan Tracksters Officiate Members of the Michigan varsity track team will act as officials. In former years, the Michigan team also put on an exhibition in the various events but this feature has been cur- tailed because of the tremendous size of the meet. A track clinic, in w1I i('hsonic of the coaches gave talk:, on different aspects of track and field, also has b'een a bandoned for the same reason. The meet is primarily one for all state high school runners, in that no attempt has been made to limit the field to outstanding high school stars. However ,imany fine performances will be forthcoming, as this has been the case every year. The meet promises to be a very colorful event and an interesting evening for the spectators. Admission will be through presen- tation of student identification cards or a 25-cent admission fee.

It was Detroit's second win in two days over the Reds, who had licked the world champions three times during Florida training. The same clubs meet for the last time tomorrow at Columbus with Cincinnati leading their spring series four games to two. Mierkowicz, subbing at first base for Hank Greenberg, knocked in two runs with his first inning homer, thus pinning the defeat on lefty Clyde Shoun, who gave up three runs and four hits in the first four innings. Hitchcock's circuit blow in the fifth produced the only Tiger run off Har- ry Gumbert, who finished for the Reds. Hal Newhouser, who left for De- troit immediately after the game to prepare to pitch Tuesday's American League opener against the St. Louis Browns, hurled three scoreless inn- ings and allowed only one hit to eafn credit for the victory. Bridges, who followed, gave up four hits andt1 two Cincinnati r uns while fanning, four men in his three inning turn and the only Cincinnati hit off Benton, who worked the last three innings, was rookie Grady Hat- ton's eighth inning home run. The Detroit victory left the Tigers needing a decision over the Reds to- morrow to close out their exhibition season against major league oppon- ents with an even .500 rating. To date the Tigers have won 15 and lost 16 against big league teams.
