Northwestern
Seeks to CIinch
Loop Net Title

COLUMBUS, O., May 16-(P)
Paced by Seymour Greenberg,
second ranking netster in the
midwest, Northwestern Univer-
sity sought to clinch the Big Ten
tennis crown today.
The Wildcats won IL matches
for IL points in the first two
days of play to move into the
favorite spot. Only Chicago,
winner of 10 matches, and Michi-
gan, defending champion, were
given chance to head them.
The Wolverines have nine points.
Experts gave Northwestern
the edge, predicting that Green
berg would win the first diVi-
sion singles crown and pair
with Robert Jake for two vic
tories in the doubles. The title
goes to the team scoring the most
points in all rounds of play.
Scores of other teams after
two days of play: Illinois, seven;
Minnesota and Purdue, three
each; Ohio State, two. Wiscon-
sin, which won no matches, was
eliminated from the meet yes
terday. Indiana and Iowa did
not compete.

6 Teams Ready
10 Partitip ate;;
Utica Drops OUT
Mount Clemens Meets
Richmond in Opener;
Two Rounds Slotted

Play in the Macomb County
Baseball League-a C / r c u t
which many feared the war
would break up-will begin on
Memorial Day, Satur, ay, May
30, it was decided last night at a
meeting of representatives of
six teams which will participate
in the loop.
Organization of play in the
circuit, now in its fourth year,
has gone slowly this Spring, as
managers throughout the coun-
ty reported a derth of players
due to army calls and defense
work. Six teams, however, have
been rounded up and will move
into action two weeks from to-
day as Mount Clemens and Rich
mond, Fraser and Warren and Y
Center Line and New Haven
New Baltimore tangle in the
opener.
UTICA TEAM OUT
Lack of players has forced
the projected Utica team out of
the picture and the circuit will
operate this season with two less
teams than it has previously
boosted. Managers and repre-
sentatives of the several teams,
who met last night in Mount
Clemens, reelected Bernard j.
Ballantine as president of the
loop; Ballantine had previously
announced his intentions of re-
firing as prexy, but consented
to remain in the office for an
other year. Dennis Brown was
named secretary-treasurer.
The teams will play twice
around during the summer, with
games scheduled on Sundays and
holidays and the four top mines
will qualify for the double
knockout playoffs.
Harold ACE" Elliott, mana
ger of the Mount Clemens Dairy
team, Bath City representative in
the loop, said this morning that
serious shortage Of playing tai
ent was facing the team and re-
quested that all hard ball play
ers interested in playing turn
out for the practise sessions
next week; the practise schedule
will be announced on Monday.
Mount Clemens has won the title
in the three previous seasons,
under the direction Of the late
Edward Moose" Moore.

DoubIeheoder Gives Tigers

Today, However

DETROIT, May 16--(P)-The
unpredictable Detroit Tigers
have the opportunity today to
pull ahead of the New York
Yankees by sweeping a double
header from the A me erica
League leaders but they will
need maximum of skill plus
a favorable nod from the wealth
erman.
For the third time in four
days, the Tigers were made idle
yesterday when weather caused
poStpOnement of their scheduled
second game with the world
champions. But if the Tigers feel
abused, listen TO this-the Yank-
ees have played only twice in
nine days.
GAME
The day of rest left the Tigers
the same game and a half be-
hind the Yankees who hold a
slim margin over the second
place Cleveland. If big AL Ben
ton and Paul Dizzy Trout ad-
minister the one-two punch, the
T igers will gain important
ground. New York has nominal
ed two top pitchers, Ernie Bon
ham and Spud Chandler.
Tomorrow the Tigers open a
three game series with the Bos-
ton Red Sox, who should be just
about due to break out of bat
ting slump, and the Philadelphia
Athletics follow for two games.
Then the Tigers go on the road
again.
The Tigers have not set lat
er date for yesterdays postponed
game, but the club announced
the first twilight game ever play
ed at Briggs Stadium would be
staged at $50 pm. on June Is
when the Yankees return here.
