______________THE MICHIGAN, DAILY AKE INITIAL CUT IN 1917 BALL TEM Eliminate 15 Men in Season; Pitchers Most First Cut Suffer of BIRIINGil AM, MOUND ARTIST, JUMPS INTO BATTING FAME Joe Robins, Veteran Twirler, Shows Evidences of Excellent Condition Coach Lundgren made the first cut of the year in the Varsity baseball squad yesterday. About 15 men are eliminated from the running by the cut, and 55 names are still retained on the register. The hurling department suffered most, six names formerly on the reg- ister being crossed out, while the catchers Were next in order with three casualties. Two first basemen were cut, and two from the outfield. Pitchers Show Form The pitchers are lettiig out a little more every day as they face the bat- ters, and both are getting good prac- tice. Very few of the twirlers are put- ting anything on the ball as yet, but plenty of smoke is in evidence. Joe Robins looked extremely good for his second day out, and held the batters to a fairly low percentage of wallops, and is apparently in as good condition as most of the pitchers who have been out a longer time. Hall Scores Hits The batters, as a whole, are show- ing pretty good eyes. Birmingham bids fair to prove an exception to the rule that a pitcher can't hit by getting more than his share of touches in a shorter length of time than most of the candidates. Birmy also took two throws which would ordinarily have entitled him to a base. Hall, the 1916 yearling outfielder, is another promis- ing slugger, hitting the ball freely re- gardless of pitchers. Keep 55 Try-outs The following men will remain on the squad: Catchers, Mattson, Under- wood, Payne, Morrison, Marcinkiewitz, Haidler, Dunne, and Hammond; pitch- ers, Parks, Pettigrew, Hildner, Gar- iepy, Getts, Payette, Gotfredson, Brand, Hibbard, Miller, Saunders, Birmingham, Van Cleef, Lush, W. A. Niemann, Martin, Dwyer, Ohlmacher, Glenn, I. Martin, and Robins ; first base, Wehmeyer, Cooper, Charpiot, Newell, and West; second base, Guar- dia, Sallwasser, Middleditch, and La- badie; third base, King, Horwitz, I. Martin, and Felt; short stop, Larson, Dancer, and Walterhouse; outfield, Trost, Van Cleef, Kirchgessner, Char- piot, W. K. Niemann, Ferguson, Gar- rett, Reem, Smith, Mack, Brandell, and Roberts. Other candidates not regis- tered in the gym must do so at once. Hr. T. Hughit Still Same Boy B ts Average of .666 in Brief Turn at Plate; Gives Players Once-Over Tommy Hughitt, former Varsity quarterback, All-fresh b5aseball coach and Maine Varsity football mentor, visited Waterman gym yesterday aft- ernoon giving Coach Lundgren's pro- teges a lookover. The ex-pilot of Yost's 1915 eleven contributed to the afternoon's features by stepping into the batting cage for a regular turn. The battery, consisting of Joe Rob- ins and Mattson, entertained the vis- itor. Tommy nailed the third strike for a safe hit into the roof of the net, but the redoubtable Robins forced him to take the count on the next three, with Tommy redeeming himself ,n the next wallop, batting an averag of .666.

The others were either called off or postponed. In the first tilt of the evening, the soph lits, last year's campus cham- pions, had things their own way. The title holders defeated the fourth year men of the same school by a score of 45 to 7. The first tally was chalked up early in the game, when Hyman caged a pretty one for the underclass- men. This started the sophs on their way. Emory, a second year man, was the star of the evening scoring 16 of the points credited to his aggregation., Next to him came McClintock with 10 points and Cook with eight counts. Russell was the only fourth year man who showed any form. About the same time that the cham- pions were trouncing their older brothers, the soph engineers were humiliating the fourth year boiler- I makers. There was nothing spectac- ular in this game, however, the final count registering 17 for the sophs and nine for the seniors.

The fourth year bar- risters had a man by the name of Baxter playing which was a fortunate thing for them, because the contest was all Baxter. This man started the ball rolling by caging a basket early in the contest. Lokker was a close second for the evening's honors. He excelled especially in foul shooting, getting four baskets out of as many trials. The final score was 27 to sev- en in favor of the seniors. The last set of the first round will be completed the early part of next week. Only those teams which have landed either first or second place in their respective groups will be per- initted to participate in the second round. trations, MADE NECESSARY BY OUR GROWTH IN PATRONAGE ARE NOW COMPLETED ORPIU THEATRE MATINEE TICKETS A r.
