Tiger Diamond Men
Prepare for First
Game on Home Lot
Rose Poly Contest Expected
to Retrieve Saturdays
Defeat.

GREENCASTLE, Ind, April 5.-De
Pauw baseball men are working hard In
preparation for their first home game,
despite the loss of their only veteran
twirler, J oe Glasscock, who was declared
Ineligible on the eve of the first contest,
played with Purdue at Lafayette Satur-
day.
Rose Poly is scheduled to meet the
Old Gold nine here Saturday. The game
scheduled with Franklin to be played
there April Z, has been cancelled, as
well as the return tilt scheduled for June
4, because there were more games on
the Old Gold card than the rules of the
university would allow.
Coaches Buchheit and Joseph were
convinced by Saturdays game that the
members of the De Pauw diamond squad
have real ability and are striving this
week to develop il. Although Saturday
was the first time Mark Bills ever APP
peared In the pitchers box in a real
game. there is little doubt in the minds
of the coaches but that be will develop
into a speedy curve tosser. Fischer is the
other candidate for the box. He has
shown great ability In practice, but has
not had a chance to try his arm In u
regular contest.
Other positions on the nine practically
have been awarded at least for the time
being. Slutz is on the receiving end.
Captain Elwyn is looking good at first.
along with Bonner at second, Red
Jordan at short and Darnell at third.
Red" Adams, candidate for the second
sack, is sunt ring from an injured knee. In
the field some one probably will be Sc
lected to take FsCher's position in the
right garden nlot as he will be the only
utility pitcher. The other two gardens
are tended by Davis and Krumheuer.
At present Coach Buchheit Is looking
for dual track meet for April %. If a
meet cannot be scheduled for that date
the Tiger relay team probably will at
tend the Drake relays at Des Moines.
