Slow Curve Has u. of
Nj. Athletes All Up
In Air

ANN ARBOR, Mich, April 81
Despite the wonderful pitching Of
Joe Robins, who held Olivet to one
hit in yesterdays game, despite the
apparent showing Of offensive
strength which was demonstrated
in the Wolverine attack. Michigan
fans are worrying. The reason lies
In the fact that Loomis had the
Michigan hitters at his mercy when
ever he used his slow curve, and
Springer OF NJ. A. c., Is noted for
his batting curves of the fade-away
variety.
Last year the youngster Of the
Farmers defeated Michigan by US
ing his lazy hook to the best Of ad-
vantage and the Wolverine sluggers
were helpless before him. Loom
is used a curve very similar to the
one used by the Aggie pitcher, and
was just az successful. He failed,
however, to mix II up with the
speed and judgment which the M.
A. C. man has and so failed to
make as good showing as he
might have.
Even the best hitters OF the Mich
igan team looked foolish on the
slow curve before he connected
with fast one for hit. Brandell
struck out on a curve. and Capt.
abadie, who was the hitting star
OF the encounter, also failed to hit
the slow one. Bialosk struck out
twice and popped up twice on the
twister, and the others on the squad
looked as bad. Not one man con.
nected with IT,
NJ. A. C.. defeated Olivet, IL TO 1,
and with the same ability TO hit
and the same strength of defense
coupled with the kind OF pitching
that Michigan could not hit yester-
day, the Farmers are looming up
as a stumbling block In the path
OF the Wolverines.
In the other departments, the
team looked good. and Robins came
within an ace Of a no-hit game. the
one hit being lucky one with one
out and two strikes on the batter, in
the last inning. Branded featured
the game with a wonderful catch
OF the frst ball hit into the out
field by the Olivet team. That oc.
Cured in the seventh inning, and
saved Joe at that point.
II looks as though there will have
to be another change at second, for
Bialosly did not measure UP to
standard.
