THE ,:MICHIGAN DAILY ___ ____ ___ Varsity Plays Ypsilanti Nine Tomorrow Michigan's baseball nine will at- tempt to return to its winning ways at 6:30 p.m. tomorrow when it op- poses the Ypsi Cubs at Ferry Field. The Varsity will be seeking their fourth win of the season against one defeat. Furthermore Coach Ray Fisher's boys will be trying to make amends for the poorly played game which they lost to Inkster last Tues- day. The Ypsi Cubs, a colored nine, should prove tough to beat, as they are at present the league leaders in the local circuit. Both the Wolverines and the Cubs have beaten King-Seeley and Blue Front. Coach Fisher is well pleased with the Varsity pitching staff and admits that if the corps maintains the form it has shown so far Michigan will have a first-class club this summer. Lack of hitting has been the Wol- verines' main trouble this season, and although they have won three games, the Michigan pitching has been responsible for the victories. Michigan will play its first out of town game this season when they meet Blissfield there on Friday. Michigan's game with the Detroit Naval Recruiting Station which was to have been played Friday, but was postponed because the Sailors were on maneuvers, will be played at a later date. Maritime Commission Closes Shipbuilding Plant NEW ORLEANS, July 18.-(iP)- A. J. Higgins, head of Higgins In- dustries, Inc., announced today that his huge shipbuilding plant being constructed under contract to build 200 Liberty ships within two years was closed down today by order of the U.S. Maritime Commission. "This action by the Maritime Com- mission has hung crepe on the big- gest thing in Louisiana. It is worse for the state than if the river broke and flooded New Orleans," Higgins said. 6 relI r I i i The Cracker Barrel ny Mike Dann Daily Sports Editor St. Louis Splits With Brooks; I T ownsley Real L, Yan kees Win loss7 , i Dr. Elmer Townsley's death comes not only as a severe shock to all who knew him but also as a definite ,3et- back to the University's physical ed- ucation program. According to Dr. Margaret Bell and Athletic Director Fritz Crisler, Dr, Townsley was one of the ablest teachers who has ever entered the field. He was more than just cap- able. He was progressive, and con- stantly studying new ideas to make gym work more pleasing for both men and women. Dr. Townsley was considered a leader in new types of physical edu- cation instruction. His aim was to establish co-recreational work as much as possible. Some time back, Townsley told your columnist, "Just as the boys and girls study, go to shows, and eat together, so should they have the privilege of partici- pating in a diversified health pro- gram together." His latest achievement was the planned recreation program for air raid shelters. Along with his col- league Miss Marie Hartwig, Dr. Townsley worked feverishly to make this a successful course. And it was. When he had completed it, schools the nation over were copy- ing it. Today his students are car- rying his ideas throughout the United Nations in an attempt to ease the troubled minds of those who spend weary hours waiting for the air raids to end., Dr. Townsley's main aim in life was to give people proper entertain- ment and at the same time work in a sound physical education program., and you may be sure the major part of Dr. Townsley's plans will not re- main unnoticed. This fall he was to succeed Dr. George May as head of the physical education department. Since his freshman year in college Dr. Towns- ley had hoped for the day when he would have this honor. His chance came too late. Students have lost a real friend in the passing of Dr. Townsley. It was for them that he lived and as Dr. Warren Forsythe points out, "It was for them that he died." If Dr. Townsley had anything special to say to students before he died the sentences would have contained the same words he used in his classes. "Have a whale of a good time and be sure that you take care of your- self so there can be many more." By following these words Michigan men and women can best remember Dr. Townsley.* I received the following letter from one of the prominent sophomore members of the Daily Sports Staff. Dear Mike: THE MENTION of football on a day such as this when the mer- cury is soaring into the stratosphere may not seem the most appropriate subject upon which to write a let- ter, but the fact of the matter is that the grid season is almost upon us. The first realization of this fact comes with the opening of the voting to select players for the annual col- lege All-Stars-Professional game to be played late next month. Voting has already begun and it is encour- aging to see the names of two Wol- verines heading the selections. We are refering to All-Americans Bob Westfall and Bob Ingalls who are almost certain choices to play in the tilt. It is interesting to draw a compari- son between the All-Star football game and the All-Star baseball game played earlier this month. Both "dream games" were the ideas of Arch Ward, prominent Chicago Tribune sports editor, and it was through Ward's promotion that the games were instituted. It was Ward's idea to give the publicj an exhibition game where theyI could see all of their favorites of both the gridiron and diamond in action. The fans were to select those whom they wanted to see play by voting for them as is the present system in the football se- lections. To say the first All-Star baseball game was a success Is an extreme understatement. But since thene things have changed. The baseball tilt was taken out of Arch Ward's hands and the managers of the two leagues picked the players instead of the fans. There was a howl from the public at the time but to no avail. Since then the selections for the game have been more and more displeasing to the fans, and their disagreement with the game's setup has been shown at the box-office. Instead of the contest being played in order to give the fans an exhibition by their favorites, the game is now played for the sake of one league trying to gain a little prestige by soundly trimming the other league. The emphasis on winning has meant that the game is practically a preview of the world series since most players are chosen who per- form well together, rather than those who are stars in their own right. Another reason for the de- creasing attendance is that the Nationals have won only three out of ten contests, and the public is beginning to take the outcome for granted. Senior Circuit Chueckers Dominate Four Games; French Loses First By HALE CHAMPION From Associated Press Summaries The National League has long been known as a pitcher's league, and to- day's five game schedule in the se- nior circuit illustrated why. Of the five, four were low-scoring, close affairs with the hurlers far ahead of the batters in all except Brooklyn's opening game with the Cardinals. Strangely enough it was in this contest that the best pitching might have been expected. Lefty Larry French who had chalked up 10 straight for the Flatbushers was the starter, but the Cardinals got to him for 14 hits and enough runs to hand him his first loss. Otherwise all was peaceful as the Brooks salvaged the second game and the pitchers continued to blow the ball past futile or almost futile hitters.

Soldiers Field is filled nearly to capacity each time the pros and collegians meet. And the explanation for this is that the game still belongs to the public. In- terest is maintained from mid-July to the night of the game because the fans are interested in seeing how their favorites are making out in the balloting. The fans don't have to wait for a high tribunal of coaches to decide which eleven men combi- nations will have the most chance to win and bring glory to their team as in the baseball classic.
