The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-04-14

The Panthers fought a game, up- hill battle and had the locals not fielded in such miserable style might have won the game. The five errors, to say nothing of several errors of omission, had considerable to do with the scoring of the Wolverines. Mich igan earned seven runs, and Bir- mingham- Southern six. Steady field ing at times would have cut down Michigan's earned run total still more.
 Panthers Outhit Foes.
 Coach Charlie Browns outfit were slugging things yesterday, making 14 hits off the twirling of Stryker. Astar on the Wolverine corps. Michigan made IS hits of Graham and Gates
 Babe Ruth Graham, star hurler of the Panthers, ran into a perfect cy- clone of base knocks in the fourth inning. and was mercifully with drawn by Coach Brown "Feedem" Oates, freshman right handler, went 10 the rescue. and held the wolver- inc under closer control than did his predecessor.
 With the Michigan outfit were such famous football stars as Wick and Kipke. Wick was an all-American linesman last season, while Kipke was a star halfback in the western conference, mentioned for all-Amer- ican.
 One Had Inning.
 But for the one bad inning suf- fered by Graham. the Partners played good ball against Michigan. In the last two innings the locals rallied to the colors and sent across five runs. In the ninth inning the Pan.hers became so vicious that Coach Fisher yanked his hurler, even though Michigan had a three-run lead and two men were out. Schultz was sent in, and he ended the game by striking Howell out.
 Both Score Early.
 Both Wolverine and Panther showed their teeth early. In the first inning, Ulteritz's walk, Vim bles' sacrifice, Rhodes infield out and Shacklefords single to right sent Uteritz across the pan with the first run. Kipke walked, but Stuart made a nice catch of Reby's foul fly.
 In their half, the Panthers got this one back. when Norton singled cleanly to center, was sacrificed to second by Englebert, and scored on Grifin's single to left, after Ander- son walked. A promising young rally was killed when Anderson was picked off second and Rowe flied out, after Miller had singled.
 Wolverines Rum Wild.
