THE CHIGAN DAILY VARSiTY TEAM TO' PLAY BALI TODAY Yesterday's Practice Game Results in Tie withl Re- serves ALL-CA.MPUS PLAYERS MEET REGULARS AT 3 O'CLOCK Names of Opponents to First String Men Not Known Before Game Michigan baseball fans will see Lite Varsity in action for the first time this season when Coach Lundgren's nine meets a picked All-campus aggrega- tion at 3 o'clock this afternoon. Owing to the fact that this is the first game of the season to which the public is invited, a large crowd is ex- pected to fill the stands when Captain Brandell's huskies trot onto the dia- mond. The Varsity is in the best pos- sible shape and the coach expects. to send in the strongest team he can pick to battle the University's official rep- resentatives, which promises one of the best games Ferry field has seen in several seasons. All-Campus Lineup Unknown The lineup of the campus team will not be known until just before the contest, the probabilities being that it will be composed of members of the Varsity squad to some extent as well as others who were unable to try out for the team. through pressure of time or having played their years with other institutions. The game should be a hard battle all the way. Coach Lundgren is of opinion that the team the Varsity will meet is as strong as any of the college aggrega- tions that Michigan plays in early sea- son games any year and as strong as some of the teams put out by the larger universities. Varsity Lineup The Varsity lineup in batting order is as follows: Niemann, r.f., Reem, l.f., Walterhouse, c.f., Brandell (Captain),* s.s., Horwitz, 3b., Dancer, 2b., Newell, 1b., Mattson or Haidler, c., and Miller, Glenn, Lush, Saunders, or Gariepy, p. It is probable that the coach will use more than one pitcher, though who will start is still a question. Miller and Saunders worked yesterday but the chances are just as even that they may hurl again today. Lush is a puzz- ler and may be put in to worry the oppo'sing team by changing from a right hander to a south-paw. The game will start promptly at 3 o'clock. Reserves Hit Four In yesterday's game the Reserves gathered four hits to the Varsity's none, but the final score showed a 0 to o tie in six innings. Miller ad Saunders worked for the Varsity, three innings each and each allowed two hits, both singles. Miller started for the regulars, al- lowing two hits in the first two in- nings and holding the Reserve swats- men down to a blank in the third. The hitting aggregation was unable to make their clouts count, however, and the nearest thing to a score came in the latter half of the first when Johns tried to come in on the last out as Haidler was thrown out by Captain Brandel at first. Varsity Fails to Connect Out of 19 times at bat the Varsity failed to connect for a safety. In the first Niemann flyed out to Birmingham, Reem whiffed and Martin got to first on an error, but Miller caught him going to second. The Reserves came up with Johns batting first and a hit landed him at first. On a passed ball by Mattson he went down to second. Lush whiffed and the runner travelled to third when Ohlnacher was thrown out, Miller to Birmingham. Haidler connected with the ball but Bran threw him out at first and the only possible counter died on the way from third to home. Thetnext period was marked for strike-outs, Captain Brandell flying out to King and Horwitz and Dancer taking the count. The Reserves did a little better, Middleditch poling one into Reem's hands and Birmingham then walloping a single to right field. Two batters then whiffed and Birmy was left at first. The third inning proved barren of excitement, six men batting and six men failing to place the ball in the right direction. Birmy clouted another single in the fourth but consistent air punching again left him stranded on Newell's sack. Both sides decided to close the af- fair by retiring in as short order as possible, Ohlmacher breaking all pre- cedents by hitting on his last turn up.. Birmiy Bats Two Out of Two Birmingham carried off the batting honors by getting two hits out of two' chances. Miller and Saunders both pitched excellent ball and the hits they allowed were scattered. Yester- day was the first day Shorty worked since vacation and the rest appeared to have had a wonderful effect on his pitching arm. Saunders was equally puzzling to the Varsity batters and whiff ed one more than his veteran pre- decessor in the box. Both teams played almost air-tight ball with the exception of two errors. Squad is Versatile Considerable versatility is being shown by the members of the squad. Kirchgessner has been playing short after worki out all season in the outfield, whi e Smalley Morrison prov- ed his ability to play first as well as work behind the bat in Wednesday's game. Lush and Ohlmacher demon- strated again that pitchers make good outfielders. , Lineups and summaries follow: Varsity: Niemann, r.f., Reem, l.f., Martin. c.f., Brandell (Captain), s.s., Horwitz, 3b., Oancer, 2b., Newell, 1b., Mattson, c., Miller and Saunders, p. Reserves: Johns, c.f., Lush, r.f., Ohl- macher, l.f., Haidler, c., Middleditch, 2b., Birmingham, 1b., King, 3b., Kirch- gessner, s.s., Parks, p. Varsity 0, Reserves 0.

AL FOOTBA9LL MEN TO MEET YOST TONIGHT COACH D Q U G L A S S WATCHES "HURRY UP" MAN CON- DUCT PRACTICE An important meeting of all foot- ball men of the University will be held at the Ferry field clubhouse at 7 o'clock this evening. Coach -Yost announced that the meeting would beheld promptly and that all men interested in football, whether they have been turning out for spring practice or not, are expect- ed to be present. The purpose is to talk over condi- tions relating to football, primarily, and it is essential in the eyes of the Varsity mentor that every football player in Michigan should turn out. Backfield Coach Douglass came over with Yost from Detroit to watch yes- terday's practice, returning after the session. Douglass probably will run out as practice continues. Yesterday's work was varied from the ordinary routine by a little scrim- mage. Two teams were lined up and given the ball for a short battle on the line. The scrap was exhilarating, though brief, each side knowing just where the play was going and having a large delegation waiting for the man who carried the pigskin and the backs on the offensive had an entertaining afternoon. Practice will be held this afternoon as usual, followed by the meeting tonight at the clubhouse.

If the Varsity captain does not elect to spend his summer hurling hand- grenades at the misguided and deluded followers of the kaiser, he will un- doubtedly adopt baseball as a pas- time. Several big league organizations have long been casting covetous eyes toward Ann Arbor but when interro- gated upon this point, Coach Lundgren and Bran mei'ely "smile and look the other way." When it became known that war had caused a cessation of diamond activities at Michigan, letters poured into the city from various quarters and Bran's mailman finally filed a protest with the postal author- ities and personally requested the Michigan captain to move over onto the route of his worst enemy. Will Graduate First But Bran will graduate. He an- nounces this much definitely. With George Sisler and Johnny La- van, two former Michigan players, fly- ing the colors of the St. Louis Browns, certain signs in the heavens seem to indicate that Bran will consider the Mound City team pretty seriously. It is also understood that a certain well known organization in Chicago is an- xious to place Bran's name on their fortnightly pay roll. Branch Rickey's Cardinals are another team that wouldn't object very seriously to Bran's presence in their midst. It would seem probable that Jen- away, but Hughey doesn't seem to fav- or players of the college type. He has allowed Blanding, Lavan, Sisler and others to slip away. Jennings doesn't want collegians apparently. But this is nothing against higher education and the great national pastime. Hughey couldn't get George Sisler if he offered St. Louis his entire pitch- ing staff, infield and the Detroit club's franchise along with his old inimitable freckled self thrown in for better or worse. Sisler, Only, Beat Bran Brandell is a natural ball player. He is the type of hitter that tears into swell pitching no matter where he plays. Speed doesn't bother him a bit and he whales curves balls with the same facility. George Sisler is the only man Michigan ever had who could beat Bran down to first and when this pair used to race over in the gym they usually tossed a nickle to see who'd won. Ask George. In the outfield Bran can get drives that the ordinary individual couldn't hold to thre6 bases and he is probably the most accurate thrower Michigan has ever seen. Michigan baseball followers will watch this youth's progress with in- terest. He will be a decided credit to the University, wherever he goes. While Michigan will lack outside com- petition this year on account of the big war, the baseball team will be practicing daily and the captain will be fit when he leaves Ann Arbor in Rugs perfectly cleaned, washed, ai Interclass baseball will witness its sized without injury.

The fact that Varsity competi- tion has been suspended this spring is expected to make the fight for berths in the class teams hotter than usual. Mr. Rowe also announced that the fraternity-boarding house out-of-door indoor baseball games would start the last day of next week. Teams for this league must be entered before Wed- nesday night to receive consideration. Spaulding Brothers will give medals to the winning team in the class base- ball league, and Goldsmith's will do- nate prizes to the leaders of the fra- ternity-boarding house struggle. WOMEN'S SPRING BASEBALL SCHEDULE IS ANNOUNCED Announcement was made last night by Miss Alice Evans, physical director for women, of the remainder of the spring baseball schedule. Sophomore practice, as formerly stated, will take place at 4 o'clock Monday afternoon, freshman practice at the same hour on Tuesday, while the juniors and seniors will acquire first-hand knowl- edge of the great American game on Wednesday and Thursday. The Newberry and Palmer field ten- nis courts are now nearly ready for use and the tournament will begin sometime next week if weather condi- tions permit. Interest centers around the long-postponed match between Louise Irish, '18, and Lucy Huffman, '20, which will determine the fall championship.

War Wil Nod Seriously Affect Pennsylvania's lig Relay Races Baseball 19-21-22 ahere to 20 in the gned-- 7E ed as own" L COI, est on Philadelphia, April 20.-Entries for Penn's big relay carnival have closed, and although the totals have not been given out, it is said that scores of col- leges and schools have been heard from, guaranteeing an interesting meet. In spite of the defection of a few colleges interest in the races seems to be intense. Many orders for tick- ets have already been received, and a large crowd seems assured for both days. The fact that large western col- leges have entered in force is ex- pected to keep the meet up to the high standard that it has maintained for many years. Penn State Strong Pennsylvania State college sent in its entries today for next week's meet. Coach Martin has by far the best ma- terial that State has ever had, and he will have good teams in all the cham- pionship events. In addition State will be represented in practically all the special events. It will be strong in both of the medley relay champion- ships on Friday and for the one-mile championship on Saturday. Coach Mar- tin also expects to get out a first class team for either the two or the four- mile relay championship. In Shields, Shea, Foster, Whiting,' and Hunter States has a very fine quintet of dis- tance men. Much interest will center in the running of Shields, who is the brother of the Shields who will rep- resent Pennsylvania in the freshman team. The most interesting individual en- tries are those of Jones, Dumbly, and Wilson for the pentathlon. These men have been training since Christmas for this event, and Coach Martin feels that they will give Berry a hard tussle for the all-around college champion- ship. The pentathlon takes place on Friday, and it promises to be the fea- ture event of the whole meet, as many fine all-around athletes are out for the title. Runyon Is Dark Horse The entry of Runyon in the pole vault and high jump is interesting. He is considered one of the best vaulters in the East, having done 12 feet 6 inches. Runyon Is expected to give Sewell and Newstetter of Pennsyl- vania, Fisher and Graham of Chicago, Pettison of Kansas, and the other ex- pert vaulters a good battle. Many sharps in track and field ath- letics predict that a new record will be made in the pofe vault. Newstetter has been going excellently in the event recently. He tied with Foss of Cor- nell at 12 feet 10 inches two years ago, and with the same man last year at 12 feet 6 inches. He hopes to win this year. TRAU ANDWHITLOW TO, WRESTLE TODAY IN GYM LIGHTWEIGHT TITLE OF CAMPUS DEPENDS ON SEASON'S LAST MATCH E. F. Traub, '18M, and J. E. Whit- low, '19, will meet this afternoon for the lightweight wrestling champion- ship of the University, in the last wrestling match of the Wrestling club's tourney. Traub was the cham- pion. in 1915, while Whitlow was run- ner-up last year. The match will take place at 3 o'clock in the wrestling room of Wat- erman gymnasium. Seniors Practice for Class Baseball Tryouts for the senior lit class base- ball team will meet on South Ferry Field from 9:45 to 11:30 o'clock this morning for the first practice session this spring.

Main and Washingt All-Fresh Baseball Team to joined by Able Pitcher Be Re-I That "it is an ill wind that blows no good" was forcibly impressed upon Dale Maltby, All-fresh baseball coach, yesterday, when he discovered that a sprained ankle, and not membership in the naval reserves, had caused the desertion of Van Cleff from the ranks of the first year team. With the im- minent return of this man, the com- petitive value of the squad will be raised about 50 per cent, since Van is one of the best looking pitchers in years. No practice game was held yester- day afternoon, routine work taking up all of the time until J. Pluvius, with his usual nonchalance, sent the boys scurrying to the clubhouse. With a possibility of a game with the Varsity next week, Dale is praying with all his heart that the lads will not fail him at 2:30 o'clock tomorrow. BOARDING HOUSES WILL PLAY SERIES OF INDOOR BASEBALL Entries Close April 23 with Games to Start About April 28' An indoor baseball league is being organized for boarding houses, en- tries to close April 25.
