THE MICHIGA DAILY . .. .a, , JL~e ORR I I V 11 Due to Pitch Against Aggies in Second Battle the 'Y TRIMS SCRUBS N POORLY PLAYED GAME shall pitch the game against M. A. C. tomorrow afternoon. The Michigan coach believes that the Aggies have improved materially since the first game between the two teams when the Wolverines won 12 to 2 in a slug- ging match. Lundgren will take no chances and so will start his best pitching bet. Ruzicka Pitches Saturday; Ruzicka will also have to do the hurling Saturday when Iowa comes for the first game between these two ag- gregations. The Conference race, ac- cording to all dope, is between Mich- igan, Iowa, and Illinois and the Wol- verines will have to cop Saturday in order to keep in the race. Illinois comes next Monday for a game and Ruzicka will be depended on then also unless Captain Glenn gets his arm in shape. If Michigan manages to run up a sizable score at the start of the game tomorrow, Saunders may be sent in to relieve Ruzicka in order to save him for the more important games ahead. ors and Misplays on Both Sides Result in Rough Fray Yesterday mely bingles by Bowerman and z, coupled with an infield hit by per and several errors enabled the city to take a combination fresh- * and scrub team into camp yes- ay afternoon in the first game ed by the Wolverines since last .nesday. he Wolverines showed the effects heir long lay off and there was lack, of pep in the playing he first team.

Coming out of the east with a string of victories marked by only one de- feat, the Giants were expected to have but little trouble in running away with the series in the Smoky City. Hamilton and Cooper were the pitchers who proved too much for the visitors and who stopped them for the first time this season in two games running. Philaidelphia continues on her downward path losing all of the four games in which she was engaged. The other teams of the older circuit play- ed about even.: Anerican League Tightens Up The American league race is tight- ening up. Boston and Cleveland have both been in the lead during the week, but the latter's defeat by the White Sox has again established the Red Hose at the top. The New York Yankees are slowly but surely climb- ing, and at the same rate of going during the next, as during the past week, they should be one of the teams fighting for the lead. Washington also is coming well. In the last six games played they have won five and lost one. They now stand at the top of the second divi- sion and are within easy striking dis- tance of the first division teams. The American league race promisedl to be the closest since 1915, at whichl this will weaken the offense consider- nament to be held Thursday, Friday, ably.

The Chicago White Sox, who were the best in the league last year and who are expected to repeat, will have a little more trouble in doing so. The reason for this is that one of their star outfielders, Joe Jackson, will soon be called into the service and Illinois Beats Purdue 5 eral times on the mythical All-Ameri- I can ball team by the universal choice of baseball critics. American Teams Strong Then too, the other teams are con- siderably -stronger -than they were last year. Boston, runner up, has ad- ded to its list of stars, McInnis the famous first baseman of the $100,000 infield. New York and St. Louis both profited in the winters trading and the former, at least, appears to have some chance for the flag. Even! the Athletics are improved. For the first time since their old champion- ship days they look like a big league ball club. (II l4'AGO WINS ANOTHER BIG TEN TENNIS MATCH, 2 TO 1 Chicago's tennis team won.its second Conference tournament Saturday when it beat the Wisconsin team two matches out of three. The Madison duo started when they won the doubles in straight sets: 6-4, 6-1, but the Maroons came back and won both singles. The singles all went to deuce sets, but the Chicago men seemed to have better staying power and won out in the end. Pike won the opening one in straight sets 7-5, 7-5, while Nath had an even hard- er time with the Badger star, winning only after three sets 9-7, 7-9, 9-7. We specialize in full sole wort. 0. G.

Stagg field Saturday. The green Madison team put ascare into the Maroons by leading up to the seventh, four to two, at which time, however, the Windy City team started a rally and tied the score. Three home runs were the features of the game, which was rather loosely played because of the cold. Seven er- rors were chalked up against the two teams and the three made by the Chicago team were instrumental in the Wisconsin scoring. In the seventh and eighth a number of scratch hits combined with errors gave the Maroons four runs and let them come out of the game winners. Illinois Beats Purdue Allowing but four hits Wrobke shut out the Purdue nine at Urbana, allow- ing Illinois to win 5 to 0. This was Wrobke's first Conference game, but he pitched like a veteran and pulled out of two tight holes when the Boil- ermakers filled the bases. In the third the Champagne team got to Bray for four runs knocking him out of the box and insuring themselves the game. Mills then re- placed Bray and held Illinois to but one run for the succeeding five in- nings. We repair trunks. Koch and Henne. Phone 50.-Adv.
