ONLY A FEW REGULARS FOR
WOLVERINES BASEBALL
TEAM FOR COMING YEAR
Capt. Mitchell Has an Outfield
That Is Intact, But
Infeld Is Shattered.
MCMILLAN TO BE IN GAME.
Smith Is the Only Veteran of the
Hurting Staff To Be
Counted Upon.

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Dec. 26.-
When Coach Branch Hickey arrives
at Ann Arbor about the first OF March
10 take charge OF the Michigan base
ball squad. he will find but few regu-
lars available for the 1912 team. Or
last years aggregation. there are only
five men who held permanent posi-
tons around whom 10 build up a
nine, and as three OF these men are
outfielders and one a pitcher. 1t will
be no small task 10 whip team into
shape.
The big redeeming feature OF the
situation Is the fact that last years
outfield is intact, and the men who
held the garden positions were lead
ing sluggers last year. Capt Mitchell
is himself an outfielder OF two years
experience. Last year he played in
q games. the entire number on the
schedule. and hit for an average OF
.29S. Bell, his partner. hit for Pa
in a like number OF games. Munson.

but in Ia games he hit for an even
500, and his berth this year Is appar-
emily cinched Munson is also a
catcher and may be pressed into serv-
ice behind the plate. though right
now he declares he will play an out
field position or none.
Shorty Mcmillan, Michigan's plucky
little quarterback, Is the sole infielder
available for the 1912 team Shorty
is not a whirlwind at the game, but
ne has lots OF snap about him. and
will probably take care OF either the
third base corner OF the infield or the
shortstop berth. Mcmillan is a poor
| theless.
.Smin Smith Is the only veteran OF
the hurting stan. Two years age
Smith was the star member of the
Wolverine pitching roster. Last year
he gave his honor over TO Red
Campbell, but this spring he is ex
pected TO come back as Michigan's
mainstay in the hurting department.
Michigan will be at loss for
backstop unless some OF the new mer
show something sensational. Stan
Borleske. former football end an,
baseball catcher is ineligible. and
Johnny" Fischer. the find OF last sea
son. Is not in school. IL will devolv,
on Hickey TO dig up a new backstoI
for this years team or else fall bacl
on Munson or Harrington. Herring

However dark the outlook may b,
on the face OF It. Michigan supporter,
are still counting on a good represen

men who Will try out for the frs
time. there are number who lool

ers who fell just below Varsity speed

trouble in whipping a good nine int
