TUESDAY, MAY 4, 1954 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE TUESDAY, MAY 4, 1954 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE scoreboard . ..by alan eisenberg It has been said, by baseball experts and fans alike, that if Stan Musial could bat above .300 for the first two months of the season, he would have practically no trouble in winning the National League hitting crown and might threaten the coveted and almost unattain- able .400 batting average. This theory became popular when the national pastime followers noticed that Musial would hover around the .200 mark for the first third of the season. After that, the fans noted, the St. Louis Cardi- nal outfielder would 'go on a batting spree, hit close to .400 for theI rest of the campaign, and usually cop the batting crown. The man with the crouching unorthodox batting stance had 4 one of the greatest days in his spectacular baseball career on. Sunday against the New York Giants. Musial blasted five home runs, breaking one record and tying another, as the Cards split a twin bill with the Polo Ground crew. The veteran outfielder's prolific output gave him a total of eight home runs and the league in that department. While on the subject of the Cardinals one other factor must be; noted if an adequate explanation as to why the Red Birds, are at the moment, 12 game out of first place. And that is the high stolen-base --- total for the Stanky men. * * * IT ALL started this Spring, when Manager Eddie Stanky, alarmed at the inability of his charges to pilfer bases, offered a suit of clothes for any and all of his players who stole 10 sacks dur- ing the season. At this early date in the season the Red Birds have come close to equalizing their 1953 output of 18 stolen bases. Two of the biggest surprises in this infant campaign has been the inability of the world cham- pions New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox to play ballf as pennant contenders should, At the moment the Yankees are STAN MUSIAL lodged in fifth place two games below the .500 mark, while the Red Sox are in the cellar 5 games behind the league-leading Chicago White Sox. Much of the blame for the ineptness of the Bosox must be placed! on the killer of many teams, the injury jinx. Two of the Red Sox stars, men who were to make them a tough club to beat, are out of the lineup indefinitely. They are Ted Williams, who suffered a bone break 10 minutes after spring practice had begun, and Mel Parnell, out with a fractured bone on his pitching arm. LOU BOUDREAU, manager of the Boston team, had high hopes that his club would be in the thick of the pennant race this year. But with the misfortunes that his club has suffered in the first two weeks, the Bosox' flag chances have been reduced considerably. Casey Stengal is equally worried about the chances of his team, the New York Yankees, to repeat for a sixth consecutive year. Growling about the inefficicies of his infield the "Old Pro-j i fessor" has promised some changes unless things perk up. He has been experimenting with rookie Bill Skowron at third and may insert him at the "hot corner" any day. A combination of youth and age have jelled well for the Detroit Tigers so far this year. Rookie outfielder Bill Tuttle, batting a re- sounding .405 is presently leading the junior circuit in hitting, while veteran Steve Gromek is the league's top pitcher, with four victories and no losses. Harvey Kuenn, in his sophomore season in the Ameri- can League, has thrown off an early season batting slump and has risen to the .300 mark.

The Irish barely bowed to the Wolverines' national championship team last season by a close 3-2 score at South Bend. * * * JACK KLINE'S nine will un- doubtedlyprove very troublesome to Michigan, having won a. good many of their early season games. Michigan will start fireballing, lefty Dick Peterjohn on the mound, and will follow up later in the game with senior Ralph Fagge. There is also a chance the "big three" of Jack Ritter, Jack Cor- bett, and Marv Wisniewski may get an inning workout apiece. The Wolverines are now on top of the Big Ten standings with a 5-1 Conference record and a 15-4 overall season mark. Three victories were added to the Michigan scalp belt last weekend as Ray Fisher's nine smashed Purdue, 6-0, and' swept a twin bill from Illinois, 6-I, and 3-2. Michigan pitching was by far the season's best last weekend, as Jack Ritter whiffed 16 Purdue bat- ters, Mary Wisniewski struck 10 Illini, and Jack Corbett chucked a four-hitter against Illinois. WHEN A TEAM allows only 14 hits and three runs in three Big Ten games, its pitching certainly is far from disappointing. Such is Michigan's case, as the Wolverines head into the stretch drive for the Big Ten flag. Hitting/also played a big part in carrying the defending NCAA champs to the top of the confer- ence. The big bats of Don Ead- dy, Dick Leach, Paul Lepley and Tony Branoff boomed homeruns over the weekend, while Eaddy and Lepley also contributed sub- stantially to their batting aver- ages. Eaddy netted five hits in eight trips while Lepley bangedj out four hits in six trips to pace the Wolverines at the plate. This Friday, Michigan moves to' the Northland, where they meet ace nemesis Paul Giel and the Minnesota Gophers. On Saturday There will be an important{ meeting tonight of the 'M' Club at 7:30 in Yost Fieldhouse. New officers will be elected for the coming year. -Gene Knutson the Maize and Blue move on to Iowa City, to meet the rugged; Hawkeyes of Iowa, in a twin bill. Iowa derailed the pennant bound Wolverine express twice last sea- son. In all probability, Ritter will face Giel at Minneapolis on Friday,j while Corbett and Wisniewski take on the Hawks on Saturday. This! will be the last extended road trip of the season for the Wolverines. BIG TEN STANDINGS Michigan1 sports enthusiast, the chances are that the score mentioned would' leave him mystified. Since the cur- rent links season is in full swing, it might be helpful to the reader if some explanation of the scoring system now used were included in these pages. TO BEGIN WITH, the total number of strokes (medal play)I is always used in Michigan's matches, Big Ten or otherwise.1 Under the system a player may contribute a maximum of three points to his team's total in an 18-hole ,round. If a Wolverine golfer were leading his opponent in strokes at the end of the first nine holes, he would pick up one point. If they both finish with the same score they receive one half point each. The same procedure is adhered4 to for the second nine. In addi- tion, another' point is awarded theI player holding the edge for the total 18 holes. Again, one half point is given to each in case of a deadlock. IT SHOULD be noted at this point that a one-stroke edge en- joyed by an individual golfer holds as much importance in the team scoring totals as a five-stroke lead. Six players from each team participate. The first-ranking players of each team vie against each other, but play in a four- some with the number two golf- ers. The same holds true for the other two foursomes. A team can garner a maximum of 1.8 points for the 18 holes if all its players sweep each nine hole round. However, all Big Ten matches now consist of 36 holes, hence the present maximum of 36. r t I 1 x G , k I t { feat on the South Bend courts. Two of the losses came in the first and second singles matches when - captain Al Mann, who had just been excused from the University! Health Service the night before, lost to Notre tame star Wally; Clark, 3-6, 6-3, 6-0. Number two man, Pete Paulus, bowed before! Maury Reidy, 6-3. 1-6, 6-1. THE REST of the squad faired better, however, with the "Bob quartet" of Bob Paley, Bob Neder- lander, Bob Mitchell. and Bob Sassone taking their singles matches easily in straight sets. tIn the doubles matches Clark and Reidy edged Paulus and Paley as the number one combi- nation, 6-3, 3-6, 6-3, but Mann and Nederlander fought back to clinch the match with a 6-3, 5-7, 6-3 win over the Irish num- ber two doubles team. Mitchell and Sassone "put the iceing on the cake" with a final victory, 7-5 and 6-3 over the opponent's number four and six netters, Chuck Gallagher and John. Stuldreher. On Saturday, Michigan laced into Northwestern to gain an easy 7-2 triumph at Evanston. Al Mann again ran into some stiff competi- tion this time losing to Al Kuhn. 6-4, 6-2. In gruelling matches, Pete Paulus outlasted Wildcatter Paul Bennent, 8-6, 3-6, and 6-1, while Bob Paley whipped Gerry Stager by a 6-3, 3-6, 6-1 count. Nederlander, Mitchell, and Sas- Buttlletin, The University of Indiana turned back the University of Michigan golf team, 20-16, yes- terday, on the Hoosier's home course. The Wolverines' record in Big Ten play now stands at 2-5, with a 3-7 overall mark. The result of the meet came as a surprise to many of the Maize and Blue golf fans as Michigan had previously beat- en the Hoosiers in a quadrang- ular meet with Purdue and Ohio State. possessing depth rather than outstanding individual stars. Number one man for Western is Ed Foster, a 6' 1", 20-year old jun- ior from Niles, Michigan, who with returning letterman and number three man, Jack Vredevelt, will also make up the number two doubles team. Jim Farrell from St. Augustine High in"Kalamazoo will play second singles and com- bine with sophomore Charles Don- nelly in the number one doubles. Vern Johnson and either George Carpenter or Max Allen will round out the squad in singles play, while Johnson and Carpenter, Al- len, or Dick Norton will face Mich- igan's Mitchell and Sassone in doubles.

THE ONLY other 'M' loss came when Paulus and Paley dropped their doubles match to Stager andj John Clendenin. Mann and Ned- - erlander had to rally to nip sopho- mores Kuhn and Bennent, 5-7, 6-3, 6-2, but Mitchell and Sas- sone had it easy as they completely aced their opposition, 6-0 and 6-0.

Balle allowed only one hit and one walk to the West Quad squad and struck out 12 of the 15 bat- ters thathe faced in his five-inn- ing stint. The winners pushed across eight tallies in the last frame on five hits and seven walks. * * TAYLOR HOUSE and Wenley House played a 0-0 tie, as Bob De- lude, Wenley hurler, tossed a one- hitter and Doug Lootens, Taylor chucker, permitted only two safe- ties. Delude struck out nine bat- ters, and was never in trouble. The Wenley team produced only one scoring threat against the slants of Lootens, when it loaded the bases in the third with none out. However, Lootens struck out the next three batters, and was never threatened again. Gomberg House scored three quick tallies in the initial frame, and was never headed, as it de- feated Scott House, 11-0. Lew Meygesi, who hit a two-run homer, and Bob Gardner, who clouted a solo homer, were the offensive stars for Gomberg. Bob Mann received credit for the win. A seven-run second inning broke open a close game and Michigan House went on to defeat Cooley House, 12-4. Jim Kmekaa's grand slam home-run was the big blow in that frame. Byron Sabin, win- ning pitcher, allowed only six hits and permitted the East Quad- ers to tally in the late innings.
