MALTRY'S FINE YEARLINGS PUT BRAND OF BALL YESTERDAY UPI Michigan's All-fresh baseball hope- fuls disposed of the Varsity in an ab- breviated game yesterday afternoon, pushing two runners across the plate while their elders counted but once. The yearlings took the contest in handy fashion, earning both of their counters, while they checked the perspiring efforts of the Varsity with a neatness and despatch that augurs well for future University of Michi- gan baseball teams. The Varsity spotted the freshmen pitcher, Parks, for the first three innings and the youngster baffled the men of Lund- gren with a smile and a curve ball that kept him out of danger at all times. Dwyer took up the burden of deceiving the Varsity when Parksey withdrew from further hostilities and he was scored upon once. Billy Nie- mann. soaking a sacrifice fly to right with the bases full. The fresh won the affair in the fifth inning. Lush worked the first three stanzas for the Varsity and he held the: freshmen in check, but they got to Saunders who succeeded him for two runs in the fatal fifth. Wimbles, the first batter up, slammed a long three bagger to right. He scored a moment later on a sacrifice fly to right field, Billy Niemann contributing probably the prettiest catch of the year in snaring the drive. It was a liner just over the infield and the lad from north tore in at full speed and speared it with one hand some six or seven mil limeters above the sod. The second run was the result of hits and the fresh earned their victory over their opponents.

E6BERT PLAY IN TENNIS FINALS DEFEATED SEMI - FINALISTS; BARTZ AND HARRISON MEET TODAY The University of Michigan Tennis club tournament has progressed to the finals, Westbroi vid Egbert winning out in the semi-final matches played yesterday afternoon. Both struggles developed exteremely fast tennis. In three hard fought sets Westbrook managed to defeat Bartz, the score standing 6-3, 8-6, 6-2. In the second set Bartz had Westbrook 6-5 and it looked as though he might break through the almost invincible attack of his opponent, but Westbrook rallied and averted defeat by taking the next three games. Harrison fought a plucky four set match against Egbert but the sup- erior driving and net play of the vic- tor proved too much for Harrison. Westbrook and Egbert meet in the finals on Monday and some of the fast- est tennis that has been seen this spring is anticipated as both men are going in splendid fashion.

This decision was reaced yesterday afternoon at a meeting called together by Rosey Rowe in the interests of the University of Michigan Tennis club. Each class will have a four man team and the winners will be awarded their numerals. Intramural Director Rowe has intro- duced a novel method for winning places on the team and one that is calculated to bring unusual interest in holding positions on the four aggrega- tions. The managers will appoint a team at the beginning but any man in the University who believes that he can defeat one of the players selected has the right to challenge him for the position and if he is successful in winning, will be awarded the position. IHe can, in turn, be challenged by any- one else and thus holding a position means constant competition. Those who are interested are to call their respective class managers not latter than Monday. The following men have been appointed: Seniors -- Dawley, phone 1809-M; juniors--Hindley, phone 2370; sopho- mores--Bartz, phone 367; freshmen- Westbrook, phone 1929.

For pure, unadulterated wildness, Niemann's second inning spasm de- serves honorable mention in the arch- ives of the ancient and honorable pas- time. He walked four men and un- corked a flock of wild heaves that let three frightened and terrified sophs sneak across the plate. But ah! Wallie settled down and the sophs began to suspect that Wal- ter Johnson himself was on the job.

Director of outdoor athletics, P. G. Bartelme stated yesterday afternoon that no action had been taken on this point as yet. "I have no idea whether 'M's' will be awarded this year," said Mr. Bartelme. "The board has taken absolutely no action on the question and until they do there can be nothing but pure guessing." The basis fro such awards would prove a rather difficult matter, ac- cording to some, but until it is de- cided by those in charge, conclusions either way are idle speculation.
