ANN ARBoR. Mich, Aug. 19.-In
1892 Michigan boasted two Of the
greatest ends In the country in Goe-

best during recent seasons and were

chine.
Last fall Yost had Curran and
Marion at the TANKS. The former

Curran has since graduated, leaving
only Marion along with Wither

more or less unknown quality.
And therein lies one OF the big

Double Headers Put
Reserve Strength
Into Clubs

The long stretch of double
headers early in the season,
which partially wrecked many
of the pitching STATS, has caused
the club owners to avoid such
situations in the future by gath
ering together more reserve
players than formerly.
Baseball scouts have never
been so busy as they have been
this summer, and they are sign
ing up new players, especially
pitchers, from colleges, minor
leagues and semi-pros. The col
lection Of bushers who will be
taken South next spring prob
ably will be larger than ever
before.

The Griffs tied the score in the

error McNeely brought him over
with a solid shot over second base
The blowup came in. the eighth.
With one gone Joe Judge, who was
walloping the ball all day, belted
his second double UP against the
right field barrier. Bluege doubled
to- the bleachers in left center, scor-
ing Judge and setting the fans wild.
Leonard was noticeably webbing

to Ruel he was supplanted by Ken

Ruel waited for a free ticket and
got 1t. Peck was also patient and
his free ticket damned the sacks.
Harris pulled out Marberry and

been acting as a catcher in the
bullpen. Memo cracked a single
to center, scoring Bluege and Ruel
and ending all argument.

meet Johnston and Griffin for the
finals.
Richards and Hunter are favorites
for the third quarter, while we
must fight the fourth out with
either Snodgrass and Wesbrook or
the French team.
Richards and Hunter had q close
call in their first round match
yesterday in meeting Ray Bidwell
and w. q. Porter, jr. The local
pair won the first set at 6-3, and
led 81 in the second. The Olympic
winners pulled out the set at S.6,
and then waded through the next
two, SO, 60. Johnston and Griffin
showed fine form running through
Nat Niles and Lindley Murray In
straight sets, Ga, 6-3, 60. The
Californians were plainly the
masters Of the situation, never al.
lowing their opponents to take ad.

Today'S matches are rather easy
for the seeded teams. Griffin and
Johnston meet Liano and Foster,
Liano is a member of the Mexican
Davis Cup team while Foster a q
local entry. The Californians should
have little trouble in this match.
Williams and Washburn play Til

nett Pare and George Lott, both

gave Tilden and Wiener five. sets
before succumbing to them. The
match was hard fought throughout.
Patterson and Wood take on Wal.

The best match of the day should
be between the Frenchmen and
Snodgrass and Wesbrook, of Cali
