in Field
Michigan's Varsity baseball team
had a close call yesterday and just
barely nosed out the Alumni team, 10
to 9, when Shackleford stretched his
triple and came home on a wild throw
by the alumni right fielder, scoring
the winning run in the last half of the
ninth inning. The old timers made
three runs in their half of the ninth
and tied the score..
The feature of the game was the
catching of Dr. Frank Bowerman o\
the class of '95, who, is back to his
30th reunion. He threw out several
Varsity players during the course of
the game, and when they tried to re-
move him in the ninth to let Elmer
'Mitchell, '12, pinch hit, ,it was dis-'
covered that there was no other catch-
er to take his place and he had to
continue. In the sixth inning he got
on' bases because of an error and
scored a run. He struck out once, hit
twice to the infield -and was thrown
out, and once was out on an outfield
fly. For 12 years Bowerman was with
the New York Giants, and up until the
lest few years when he was retained
as a coach he caught regularly. He
played here two years on the Varsity.
'09 Has Unique Band
The class of '09 arrived at the game
just after the first inning had start-
ed with a band of their own and all
dressed in Maize and Blue Zowve
costumes. Other classes had their
own dress and the audience, although
small, was brilliantly clothed and en-
thusiastic. The Varsity band and the
class band kept at it most of the time
during the first few innings, but as the
game welt along and became closer,
more interest was shown in the game,
and the bands were quieter.
In the ninth inning the alumni, who
were three runs behind, tied the score.
Hughitt, '15, of football fame, was
walked by Elliott. Perrin, '21, made
his fourth hit of the game, a two bag-
.ger, but Hughitt was held up at third.
Ohilmacher, '20, was put in as a pinch
hitter for Lathers and made a whit
through Knode, Shackleford getting
the ball. His throw to home was a lit-
tle wild and Blott missed it, allowing
two runs to come in. Hill, '11, the
captein of the Alumni, who was play-
ing first base, hit several fouls, but
was to anxious to connect and struck
out. Van Boven, '21, up next hit a
,hot 'one to the' right of second base,
scoring Ohmacher from second. Bow-
erman flied out to Shackleford. Three
runs were scored tying the count.
In the Varsity's half of the inning,
Knode was out at first by Hill, unas-
sisted. Shackleford hit to right field
for three bases, but Cooper threw wild
trying to nab him at that base, and
Shack went on home for the wipning
xrun.
IUtley Hit Freely
The Varsity got to Utley, the alum-
ni pitcher, n the sixth. Blott lifted
one to left field for three bases, and
then Elliott got behind one that went
over the fielder's head and he com-
pleted the circuit, scoring Blott. How-
ever, when he went by second base
he failed to touch it, and the umpire
called him out. Uteritz stepped up to
the plate and joined in the melee by
making another four base clout.
Wimbles grounded out and Shackle-
ford after getting a walk was thrown
out by Bowerman trying to steal

BOARD CUTS SLI1CE1
IN RAILPAYROLL
Clerks, Signal Men and Firemen Get
From Two to Six Cents Hour
Wage Cut.,
ACTION MAY BRING STRIKE
VOTE OF ROAD EMPgOYES
(By Associated Press)
Chicago, Ill., June 16.-Pruning
nearly $27,000,000 from the annual pay
roll of 325,000 railway employees by
cutting clerks, signal men and sta-
tionary firemen from two to six cents
an hour, the United States Railroad
Labor Board today announced another
wage slash,, bringing total reduc-
tion under the board's orders up to
$135,000,000 beginning July 1.,
Clerks were cut three and one-
fourth cents an hour, according to
classification, signal men five cents,
and firemen two cents.' Approximately
1,200,000 railway employees will share
the total reduction which has brought
vigorous protest from every union or-
ganization involved and is expected to
result in a strike vote of 10 railway
labor bodies.
The voting already was under way
in seven unions. A dihsenting opin-
ion, protesting against any reduction
was included in the decision by labor
members.
Definite recognition of 'a "living
wage" and "saving wage" was made
for the first time by the board in to-{
day's decision. Although abnormal
postwar conditions were pointed out
as obstructions to fixing any new sci-
entific living or saving wage at pres-
ent, the board declared that as soon as
this condition cleared away, it would
"give increased consideration to all
the intricate details incident to the
scientific adjustment" of such a wage.j
The bulk of those hit by the new
cut will be 200,000 clerks, and 100,000
stationary employees.

the problems which they must face.

that an international federation of
Engieers would serve to bring to the
profession the recognition which it
deserves, and which, he said, it act-
ually pos'sessed "up until the signing
of the Armistice".
At the close of the program a reso-
lution of regret and sympathy was

C. Maurice Atkinson, '22.
Lits Cancel Exercises
> All class exercises of the senior

largest representation at the reunions.
Several of the older classes also had a
comparatively large roll call.
Asked what total enrollment he ex-
pected, Secretary Shaw declared that
he, figured that tomorrow's registra-
tion would bring the present average
up to approximately 2,000 visiting

Commencement season was sadden-
ed by an auto accdnt early Friday
morning in which C. Maurice Atkin-
son, '22, was fatally injured when the
automobile driven by James M. Bow-
ers, '22-'25M, collided with a truck
on the Washtenaw road ,at a curve
about two miles from the city. The
accident occurred about 12:45 o'clock
and Atkinson died at 3 o'clock yester-
day morning in the University hospi-
tal.
Did Not See Truck
The auto party composed of Maurice
Atkinson, James M. Bowers, Helen L.
McIntosh, '22, and Mildred ,. Henry,
'22, left the Union, where they had
'attended the Senior reception and -
started for ,a .ride about 12:30
o'clock. Shortly after they had passed
the county farm, Bowers passed a car
driven by Harold Lauver, '22E, which
was proceeding in the same direc-
tion, and as he turned back to the
center of the road the rear part of
his machine swerved into the ap-
proaching truck, which he had. failed
to see. The truck was being, driven
by Bert Johnson, negro, of Detroit.
The Bower machine was turned -
completely around, and the rear seat
almost wrenched from the body by
the force of the impact. Miss McIn-
tosh and Atkinson, who were occu-
pying the rear seat, were thrown from
the car, the latter sustaining minor
injuries. Bowers and Miss Henry al-
so received minor cuts and bruises.
Joseph H. Failing of Ann Arbor,
who passed shortly after the acci-
dent, hurried Atkinson to the Uni-
versity hospital, where he died at 3
o'clock without regaining conscious-
ness.
Drivers Held Blameless
Prosecuting Attorney Jacob Fahr-
ner, who is investigating the acci-
dent, stated yesterday that he could
see no reason for attaching blame on
either of the drivers.
Johnson, the driver of the truck,
says that he is at a loss to under-
stand how the accident could have
happened. The occupants of the truck
were members of a negro baseball
team.
Atkinson, duiing his four years in
the University, was active in campus
'work, having been business manager
of Chimes, a member of the Board in
Control of Publications and of the
Student Advisory committiee, and
treasurer of his class during his sen-
ior year. He was a member of Mich-
igauma, Sphinx, Pi Delta Epsilon, the
Pressman's club and Kappa Sigma,
fraternity.?
The parents of the deceased, Mr.
and Mrs. Orie Atkinson of Battle
Creek, arrived in Ann Arbor yester-
day morning.
Funeral services were held at the
Kappa Sigma fraternity house at 3
o'clock yesterday. Family services
will be held at the Atkinson resi-
dence in Battle Creek this afternoon,
and buried will be made at Amboy,
