AS Japan goes in for baseball
in a big way, the Western Con-

a feather in the cap of Coach Ray
L. Fisher.
FORMER YANK TEAM
Fisher, who has been associated
with Michigan baseball since 1921,
is the famous old Vermont
School Teacher" who once hurled
for the New York Yankees. Gradu-
ating from Middlebury College in
1910, Fisher Joined the Yanks that
summer and remained with the
team until 1917. During the off
season Fisher taught Latin at his
alma mater and later served as
director of athletics.
In 1917 he entered the air
corps Of the United States Elk
peditlonary forces, withdrawing
from major league baseball.
When he returned to the big show
in 1921, he signed with the Gin
cinnati Reds and remained for
four years, after which he joined
the Michigan athletic staff as
head baseball coach. Since that
time, Fisher has also taken charge
Of the Michigan freshman bas-
ketball and football squads.
During his eighteen years at
Ann Arbor, Fisher has produced
six Big Ten championship teams
and, until last year, never had q
team finish below the first divi-
sion. He had winners in 1923,
1924, 1925, 1928, 1929 and 1896.
OF the two-dozen graduates to
go places in organized professional
baseball, one of the outstanding
products of Fishers locally is Pete
Appleton, of the Griffmen'S hurl-
ing staff. Pete pitched for the
Wolverines under his true cog
nomen of JablowensN. Another
former Fisher pupil who pitched
for Washington several seasons
ago is Bill McAfee.
OF particular interest to Wash

ing this Michigan nine is Walter
