THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE) TH JI ur uLII ALREADY NO - ii$ FORMER WOLVERINE .EIU L OUTBATTING COBB TIULABLE ,ST IN ATHLETICS DURING ST SEASON HAS BEEN INCREASING As a result of Michigan's return to the Conference a marked increase of interest in all branches of athletics is being evinced by the students. The University is awakening from the com- parative apathy in athletics of the past few years, as shown by the number of men coming out for the teams and the augumented interest in the progress of the Varsity squads, on the part of 'e - campus. The recent basketball season was a failure as far as winning games was concerned, but there were good crowds out to see the contests in spite of the fact that the chances of coming out victorious were slim. Although the Wolverines did not win a single Con- ference tilt, the season was a decid- ed success from the standpoint or stu (lent support of the team. - Students Enthusiastic Victories on the track would make the average student enthusiastic at any. time, but Michigan could not bave gained such wide recognition, nor could the students have become so interested had it not been for the op- portunities offered by the Big Ten meets. The baseball season opened with more candidates reporting for practice than ever before, and the campus has been watching the repeat-' ed successes of Coach Lundgren's men with increasing eagerness.. The games have been well attended and the 'pro- spects are bright for a fine year on the1 Sisler's big days in the major league are as many as when he was still the star of the Maize and Blue. Out of three times at bat Thursday he got two runs and one hit; in the field, nine put outs, and no errors. Out of six times at bat Cobb and Speaker, the two best batter's in the American league according to the results of past season's, managed to secure only two hits between them. Although neither of them had an error, being outfield- ers they had only four chances to make a slip. The box score for the three is as follows: Player A.B. R. H. 0. E. Pct.

Morrison smashed a single over second in the eighth and went to second on Rudolph's wild throw but Ruzicka grounded to the pitcher. Players Nave Two Fights g The only disappointing thing in the game was the bad blood formed between the two teams when Rudolph tried to knock the ball out of Morri- son's hands in the fourth by running head first into the Wolverine catcher. Smalley responded with a kick in the back before Ruzicka separated the men. In the sixth Sproehnle secured an infield hit and ran full tilt into Adams on first. Tommy put one into the Chicago player's kidneys before a half dozen men pulled the two apart. The two teams meet again this aft- ernoon.

Coach Farrell gave all his athletes a try at the new event, but the men disclos- ed nothing phenomenal in their work. Accuracy, one of the necessary fea- tures of grenade throwing, was miss- ing in hurling the missiles. Steve was of the opinion that after more practice, this would be eliminated. A big bunch of men are working out for the inter-class meet next Satur- day, May 11. Entries are coming in at a fair rate, and from present in- dications, the contest ought to be a success. Any track athlete who has not signed up yet, may put his name on the list at the Ferry Field club house or by seeing Coach Farrell. All the regular events will be run off with the exception of the relay. There are not enough men to fill the places on the different class relay teams to pass the baton. A Soph- Fresh relay is a possibility, but unless more athletes come out. this too, will be called off.

Box score: MICHIGAN to startl YESTERDAY'S GAMES Benefits Not Realized Students have hardly begun to real- ize the benefits of Michigan's re-entry into the Conference. There is little doubt but that many athletes from the middle west will now be attracted to Ann Arbor who would not have come here as long as the University re- mained out of the Big Ten. When Michigan is competing with univer- sities in this section of the country many fellows will come here who would not come if the Wolverines were playing games which hold no local or sectional interest. Minor sports will have to be devel- oped here if Michigan is to make a creditable showing in the Conference. Basketball has already been raised to a major sport. It must be developed so that a Michigan basketball team cannot be looked down upon by any- one. Tennis material must be uncov- ered and a first class team got into, shape. In fact, Michigan has got to turn out good teams in every branch of athletics if she ever wishes to re- gain her old position as leader of the Western Conference. Kamp Selected After Deadlock St. Louis, May 3.-Carl ("Toddy") Kamp, captain and left guard of the 1918 Washington university basket- ball team, has been re-elected captain by the student . council of the insti- tution. Kamp was selected after the letter men of the team had voted to a deadlock three times. Dancing Friday and Saturday nights at the Armory.-Adv. Use The Daily Classified columns. Michigan's two man tennis team, Egbert and Hamer, plays Chicago this afternoon at 2 o'clock on Ferry field. This is the first meeting of the two schools in 14 years, the last tourna- ment being in 1904. Little is known here of the ability of the men that compose the aggregation from the Windy City. The class of tennis usu- ally put up by the Maroon team is of the highest standard, however, and a hard match is looked for tomorrow. Yesterday Ideal- Yesterday was ideal for practice, with the exception of a slight wind that swept across Ferry field. The rain and wind which have been pre- valent throughout the wek have kept the courts in poor condition, so that very little practice has been possible for the tennis players. The good work out obtained yesterday was the first real practice since the Ohio State tournament of last Saturday. Egbert and Hamer are in good con- dition physically and believe that they have the edge on the Maroons, partic- ularly as they are on the home courts. They look for the sets to be close and hard fought and believe the tourna- ment will be no clean sweep for either school. With good weather the sets will be played on the dirt courts. This will make the tournament more interesting to the spectators, and a big crowd is expected. The small turnout of last week, at the time of the Ohio State matches, was disappointing to the players, but the cause of this it is believed, was that the tournament had been but slightly advertised.

Freshman Practice Lasts Hour Onlyl GRANT WOMEN MORE TIME FOR TENNIS TOURNAMENT Women tennis tournament players have been granted until Monday night to play off their first round.

The entire time was spent in batting and fielding practice. Coach Mitchell feels now that he has had time enough to look over the ma- terial and has cut down his squad to a squad to a size where he can handle it with ease. The next week of prac- tice will be devoted to polishing and teaching inside baseball. From now on the first year men will furnish practically all the practice opposition that the Varsity will act. The outfield which has been weak because of the lack of material is improving and six men, McGowan, Taggert Johnston, Riddell, Usher, and Hinkle are now under surveillance by the coach as the men for the garden jobs. The three of these eligible men that prove the best hitters will be the lucky ones. Catchers are abundant and the freshman mentor has no cause to wor- ry about men to do the receiving. Don- ovan, at present, looks like the man for the position behind the plate and Reichle his nearest rival is being tried out on first, where a good man is needed. This afternoon the yearlings will be put through a strenuous practice start- ing at 1 o'clock and will be dismissed in time for the Varsity game. 350,000 Silver Dollars to be Melted Washington, May 3.-One of the most important pieces of legislation during the past month was the pas- sage of the Pittman bill, which au- thorized the melting of 350,000 silver dollars now in the Treasury. As these are melted, silver certifi- cates to a corresponding amount will be cancelled, and will be replaced by federal reserve bank notes, which re- quire a gold reserve of only five per cent. The necessity for the measure was brought about chiefly by the great rise in the price of silver, which in turn was caused by declining supplies and increasing demands. 1 '- Engraved Visiting Cards Fred W.
