THURSDAY, APRIL 2, 195.3 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE ml Wolverine Baseball Squad Leaves for SunnySouth DOWN IN DIXIE: Michigan Trackmen Open Outdoor Season 4>* * * * * To Open Training Slate! Against Delaware Nine Rookie Ritter Draws First Mound Test; Six Outfielders Included in Team Roster SPRING TRAINING NEMESIS: f 'M'Golfers Seek Revenge Against Duke, Michigan's Cinder Express opens it's 1953 outdoor season Saturday, as it rolls into Dixie for the an- nual Southern Relays. Approximately 20 teams from all over the nation will clash in Birmingham, Alabama, in a meet consisting entirely of relays and field events, except for the two mile run. No team points will be kept, but the strongest squads ap- pear to be Michigan, Illinois, Ok- lahoma A & M, and Georgetown. MICHIGAN is defending cham- pion in five of the ten events, and stands a good chance of repeating victories in several of these. Such > is the case in the one mile relay, which will see Al Rankin, Bill Barton, Grant Scruggs, and Jack Carroll run for the Wolverines. It was this same quartet that blazed to a new Michigan and Chicago Relays record of 3:18.5 last week in the Chicago Stad- ium, as they won the Champion of Champions relay. This quar- tet will have tough opposition however, from Illinois, Cornell, and Oklahoma A & M. Coach Don Canham also has defending champs returning in two of the three field events. Milt Mead will be the Wolverine entry in the high jump, along with Dave Heintzman, and Fritz Nilsson will once again try for a blue ribbon Browns TOP IBruins, 10-8 In Slugfest By the Associated Press EL PASO-The St. Louis Browns swatted two home runs at op- portune times yesterday to outlast the Chicago Cubs, 10-8, in a 24- hit slugfest that included four Bruin homers. Chicago's four home runs-- two by Preston Ward and one each by Ransom Jackson and Tommy Brown-came with the bases empty. The Browns' clouts paid off for a five-run profit. Vic Wertz slugged his seventh home run of the season with two aboard and Johnny Groth hit his with one on. Mike Blyzka, Bobo Holloman, Cliff Fannin and Marlin Stuart weathered the Cubs' 10-hit at- tack with rookie Blyzka gaining the victory. The Browns' 14 hits were made against loser Turk Lown, Sheldon Jones and Cal Howe. INDIANS 12, GIANTS 11 DENVER - The rampagn Cleveland Indians yesterday made it seven straight victories as they turned back the New York Giants, 12-11. * * * PHILLIES 2, YANKEES 1 CLEARWATER - Smoky Bur- gess' 10th inning homer gave the 1 Philadelphia Phillies a 2-1 vic- tory over the New York Yankees yesterday, but the New Yorkers were the happiest losers in Flor- ida. The reason for the high Yankee spirits was Allie Reynolds, who looked good for the first time this spring. He pitched eight innings and yielded but five hits. * * * REDS 13, SENATORS 4 HAZELHURST - Rookie Jim Greengrass clubbed two home runs yesterday to lead the Cincinnati Reds to a 13-4 win over the Wash- ington Senators. The Reds ham- mered veteran Bob Porterfield and rookie Bunky Stewart for 13 hits. By BOB MARGOLIN Coach Ray Fisher and 18 dia- mond hopefuls left Ann Arbor early this morning for a ten day train- ing trip to the warmer southern climes. Beginning tomorrow at the Uni- versity of Delaware, the Wolver- ines will face a rugged nine game schedule in nine successive days. 4 * ROOKIE SOUTHPAW Jack Rit- ter will get the nod to start to- morrow's contest, despite the pres- All freshman ballplayers re- port to me at Yost Field iouse immediately after spring vaca- ball history, the current crop of ballplayers can use every break in the weather to whip itself into shape. Yesterday's final Ann Arbor practice, scheduled for outdoors, had to be moved into the Field- house because of the rain. Rather than run through an intra-squad game, the team had to be content with batting practice and infield drills. THREE OF Michigan's oppon- ents next week, Maryland, Dela- ware and George Washington al- ready have one game under their belts. The Terrapins walloped Dela- ware, 26-13, Monday while George Washington edged out Vermont, 5-3. Michigan returned from last spring's road trip with five wins and three defeats and sporting a .300 batting average. * * * THIS SPRING the team will be out to avenge defeats at the hands of Georgetown, 11-4, Delaware, 10-9, and Quantico Marines, 15-3.

Michigan, which is prohibited to send a team because of a Big Ten rule, will have Bumpy Jones, Ron Gora, and Don Hill compet- ing unattached. THE EXPECTED crowd of over' 10,000 people will also see Michi- gan's defending champion distanceI medley relay team try to repeat; last years triumph. On this years entry is Joe Larue, who will run the 440, Roy Christianson, who will go one-half mile, John Moule, who will run three-quarters of a mile, and anchorman John Ross, who will run the mile. Michigan is expected to have their hands full in this event with such opposition as George- town, Illinois, Oklahoma A&M and Pennsylvania. The other event in which Michi-' gan is defending champ is the: two mile run, the only individual: event on the program. George Lynch is Canham's nomination to repeat Bill Hickman's winning performance of last year. But Lynch will be up against the na- tion's top two miler, Georgetown's Charlie Rappozoli. *0 , ., IN THE 440 yard relay, Michi- gan will enter Dave Stinson, Jim Love, Juniol- Stielstra, and Ross Coates, and all except Stinson will; also run in the 880 yard relay. Dave Hessler will replace Stinson; in the 880.1 In the only other event which Michigan will enter, the sprint medley relay, Dan Hickman will run the 440, Stielstra and Hess- ler the 220, and Geoff Dooley7 the half mile. Michigan will not enter the two mile relay. "I'm going to put Ritter un- der fire early and see what he can do," Fisher said yesterday. Next to stand on the firing line. according to the genial baseball mentor, will be Jack Corbett. Bell- weather of the staff last year, Cor- bett fastballed his way to four victories and two losses in Big Ten competition. OTHER MEMBERS of Fisher's six man mound staff include vet- erans Dick Yirkosky and Mary Wisniewski and newcomers Bob' Carpenter and Ralph Fagge. One of Coach Fishe'r's more pleasing problems will be in the outfield where he will try to find the best starting combina- tion from five seasoned fly chasers and one rookie, Dan Cline. Of the six, only left field- er Paul Lepley seems sure of his job. Jerry Harrington, Paul Fancher, Bill Billings and Frank Howell round out the group of outfield hopefuls. Only four infielders, all hold- overs from last year's tight defen-I sive unit, will make the trip. They are captain and first baseman Bill Mogk, second sacker Gil Sabuco. shortstop Bruce Haynam and third baseman Don Eaddy. RAY Pavichevich, spare catcher and first baseman, and regular backstop Dick Leach complete the travelling squad.

The Wolverine linksmen have met the Blue Devils six times since they began, in 1938, the practice of making a spring trip to the South to limber up for the regular season. And Duke has come out on top every time. * * * LAST YEAR Duke's golfers eas- ily downed the Wolverines, 22/2- 71/2, although Michigan's links stars played their best golf of the Southern tour. The battle at Durham, North Carolina, will be the second ap- pearance of the Wolverines in golf competition this year. Mich- igan opens its season with a Imatch with North Carolina. On the other hand, it will be the Iron Dukes' eighth match play contest of the season, which be- gins two weeks sooner for the Southerners. * * * IN SOUTHERN Conference play last year Duke won six matches, lost three, and tied one. The Blue Devils finished fifth in the South- ern Conference tournament. Their over-all record for the season was thirteen won, three lost, an~d one tied . Already this year, despite the loss of four lettermen, Duke has shown its power in its first match, against South Carolina, whom the Blue Devils dumped, 17?- . 9 Duke golf coach, 'Dumpy' Hag- ler, faced with a giant rebuilding job this year after losing four Hayden Takes Paddleball Tilt Hayden's paddleball squad ad- vanced to the finals last night as it downed a hapless Wenley team, 3-0, in IM action.

REO MOTORS, INC., LANSING, MICHIGAN HALL-OF-FAMER: Sisler Launched Career as Wolverine Forty-one baseball seasons ago, the Michigan diamond squad was going into the final stages of prac- tice, preparatory to opening the 1912 Big Ten season. Branch Rickey, the same "Ma- hatma" who now guides the for- tunes of the Pittsburgh Pirates in the National League was, then the coach of the Wolverine baseballers. Rickey was busily weeding out a bunch of second-stringers before handing out his varsity uniforms. * * * HE ORGANIZED an intra-squad game, pitting his first nine against a crew of also-rans and several freshmen. On the mound for the scrubs was a 17 year-old freshman lefthander, newly arrived from Central High School in Akron, Ohio. What Rickey saw that after- noon convinced him that he had a future great on his club. The young pitcher struck out 20 of the 21 batters he faced in the seven-inning game and he went on from there to become a great mound star for the Wolverines in 1913, '14 and '15. But George Sisler, the rookie pitcher isn't best remembered for his college feats, or for his mound talents either. He is enshrined in baseball's Hall of Fame at Coop- erstown, New York, and the in- scription on his plaque at the f a- mous memorial bears record of his contribution to the game. It reads: "GEORGE HAROLID . .. Holds two Americ Records, making 257 hi and batting .420 in 192 with a major leaguea .341.
