The tennis teams are widespread as the schools enter their third week of scheduled contests.

Mackenzie and Northwestern both are undefeated In two matches. The Macs and Colts are scheduled to meet in the final match of the season. The divisional title probably will hinge this meeting.

X- i. i til ut 1' i ii a Tigers' Pinch Clubber Takes No Credit for Timely Blows By CHARLES WAR1 NEW YORK, May 7 Since being relegated to the bench by the agile Harry Davis, David Dale Alexander, the Tigers' mammoth first sacker, haa established a reputation aa a pinch hitter. In 10 times at bat as a pinch hitter, Alexander has reached first base five times. A .500 average is a pretty good mark for any kind of batter and it ia exceptionally good for one who la sent to the plate knowing the game may depend upon his success. Yet, Alexander's success has not gone to his head.

"It'a luck," he said the other day after his single In the ninth inning had started a rally that defeated the Chicago White Sox. He meant it "It'a all luck," Alex repeated "When you are sent up there to hit and you do hit, you're lucky, that's all. And when you're sent up there to hit and you don't hit, you're unlucky, that's all! You're neither a hero on one occasion nor a bum on the other. You are either lucky or unlucky and that's all there is to it." He's Gently Cynical And that is what David Dale Alexander thinks of pinch hitters who reach first base five times in 10 attempts. There is considerable fatalism In Alexander's 'baseball philosophy.

He takes the attitude that one tries his best and either hits or misses. In either case the individual has little to do with the result, Alex believes. Alex can he cynical In a gentle way too. Returning' from Cleveland at the end of the first road trip of the season. Alexander was asked his opinion of the batting rampage the Tigers then were enjoying.

He thought awhile and then smiled boyishly. "I'm glad to see the boys getting their hits now," he said, "because they are pretty hard to get in August when the pitchers get going properly." Then probably fearing his listener might think him criticizing his team mates, he added. "At least I always found them hard to get in August." Alex never criticizes anyone. Fourth Season Here Alexander has not been soured by his relegation to the bench, and harbora no ill feeling toward Davis, his successor. The big fellow has been with the Tigers since 1929 and ia content to do whatever duties Manager Harris appoints him to do.

Alex is 29 years of age. He was born at Greenville, Tenn. April 26 1903. He attended Milllken College at Johnson City, and played first base on the baseball team there and end on the football team. He left school in 1923 and the next year signed with the Greenville team in the Appalachian League.

From there he went to Charlotte in the Sally League. He played at Charlotte during 1925 and 1926 and was acquired by Toronto in 1927. He played there in 1928 and then joined the Bengals. Alexander is six feet three inches tall and weighs 215 pounds. He was rnarrled last year.

During the off season he resides at Greenville.

The come-from-behind trick de-! yeloped by the Tigers is an added feature that promises to keep eastern pitchers keyed tight until the final Harris player is stopped.

Michigan State Normal freshmen defeated Detroit City first-year men at the same time, 83 to 47.

Theodore Thomas, of Kalamazoo, was high scorer of the meet with first places In the 100-vard dash and the 220-yard dash; second places in the pole vault and the 120-yard high hurdles, and a third place In the 120-yard low hurdles. William Zepp, of the Ypsilanti frosh, led his teammates to an easy victory in the freshman meet, in which several of the times were better than the varsity events. Zepp won both the mile and the two-mile events. Although the University of Detroit did not enter a freshman team, several members of the Titans' freshman squad were allowed to compete.

GAME TO CLOSE TITAN TRAINING Frosh Gridders Meet Varsity Wednesday The annual spring football training period at the University of Detroit will close Wednesday afternoon when Coach Charles E. Dorais sends a team of yearling candidates against the veteran eleven. After this feature contest of the spring campaign, the players will be honored at a "bust" dinner given by the Club at Gesu Auditorium.

Greater interest Is manifested in the game due to the approaching selection of this year's Argon Trophy winner. This silver statuette of Red Grange in action is presented each spring to the player who, in the estimation of the coaching staff, has shown the greatest improvement during the training period. James McNamara, a guard candidate, won last year. Douglas Nott, Ann Arbor freshman, is the only, yearling back assured of his place in the Frosh backfleld. He will play left halfback with either Phil Rizzl or Howard Young as his running-mate.

The signal caller's duties will be assigned to either Bill Pegan, Tony Skover or Ed Butler, while the fullback choice rests between Harold Ryan and Bob Burns. Versatility Helps Regular Paul Duker, husky Pontiac freshman who was shifted from end to center at the start of spring practice, looks like a sure bet to open at the pivot position with Larry Maher and Vic Ganey at tackle. Paul Storrle and Jim Chlcanskt are probable selections at the ends. The varsity backfleld will feature versatility with Earl McCracken, Chris Schearer and Pete Rajkovich slated for the halfback and fullback posts. All three are triple threats.

The quarterback choice is between Cliff Marsh and Bill Rajkovich, while Ed Turashoff will probably see action during the game at fullback. Captain Johnny Metras will likely team with Emmanuel Guliani, the biggest man on the squad, at the tackles, with George Hess and Nor-bert Relsterer, both lettermen, taking over the end duties. George Maki, at center, and Jim McNamara and George Koenig, guards, round out the probable starting varsity lineup. Thinclads to Meet State Coach Michael H. (Dad) Butler's thinclads play hosts to the powerful Michigan State College track team in their annual dual meet at the U.

of D. Stadium Saturday afternoon. The Spartans gained a 80-51 decision in last year's meet at East Lansing. One of the feature races on the program will bring Otto Prongrace, Detroit mller now In his sophomore year at State, against the Titan ace, Archie Yeager. Both runners have turned in fast performances during the winter season.

Bill O'Neill will have to look for his honors in the shorter races when he competes against Roger Keast and Kenneth Lafayette. On May 21, the Titans travel to East Lansing for the annual State Intercollegiate Meet, with a dual meet with Western State Teachers College of Kalamazoo scheduled at Detroit for May 28. MUSKEGON WINS OVER PANTHERS Park Trackmen Fall in Dual Meet Muskegon Junior College track team defeated Highland Park Junior College thinclads, 88 to 37, at Wallace Field Saturday. Park golfers were beaten, 8tt to 3tt, by Muskegon's clubmen on the Rack-ham course. Panther netmen defeated the visiting court team, 4 to 1, scoring the only Highland Park victory in the three-sport meet The Muskegon tracksters took 11 out of 14 first places, easily out-scoring the local squad.

Eliason, MuBkegon golfer, shot a 77 to be the low man of the match. Failing to put a fourth visitor bn the course gave the Parkers three- points. Krueger was the only Parker to score against Muskegon. Park net' men were pushed hard to win.

WESTERN STATE FROSH RALLY TO BEAT HOPE KALAMAZOO, May 7-Comlng from behind In the fifth inning, Western State Teachers College freshmen baseball team scored six runs to clinch a 9 to 3 victory over Hope College Frosh here this afternoon. Hope started the scoring In the first inning with one run and added two more in the fourth. NEW PORT the Neahga is the oldest active craft in the present River armada. For years Neahga and Bayview were synonymous.

It was around this one boat that the present Bay-view fleet was built. And what's more, the tricks of handling canvas, learned on the ancient boat, directly are responsible for the top ranking position held by Bayview sailors as the new season gets under way. When the Neahga was brought to the River IS years ago, it followed closely on the arrival of Spook, the first boat Then began a rivalry that increased annually and made the Neahga the Queen of the Lower Lakes. Season after season the little 38-foot Bayview ship piled up victories that added much to the tradition of the River Regattas. But with the passing years it has been forced into the background.

First came Lightning, owned by Neil Lynch. Then came in order Tom Archer's Gossoon, Bill Fish er's La Salle, and Milt Cross' Ar- dette. Against these ships Neahga was forced to give way. But its record holds much of the tradi tion on which the Bayview Club was founded. Boasts Good Record And while the ship no longer is considered among tne title con tenders, Its achievements still stand out among the best of any boat on the lakes.

Among its major performances was the gain ing of second place in the 240-mile haul to Mackinac in 1929, one of the few boats to survive the journey. It also holds two legs on the Bayview Trophy that goes to the winner of the Bayview all night race. It was while Lloyd Kutrworth one of the most able skippers on the lower lakes, manned the Neahga's helm that the Bayview ship reached its peak of success. A list of its victories reads like a his tory of river racing. For instance, it was the lake champion in 1922; won the Detroit Yacht Club sweep stakes in 1919 and 1922; also won the Gardner Bowl in 1919 and the Gar Wood silver service in sweep stakes another year, and once won the Free tress tropny.

But the Neahga was not always a fortunate craft. Three years ago its canvas was burned in the Bay- view fire and in 1930 its canvas was blown off during the All Night race. Unly last year its spar ana rigging were wrecked in a collision with KainDow iv. Leaves Fond Memories In spite of these misfortunes, though, Neahga still is a racing ship. It may not be as speedy as some of the newer ships.

But it is modern in some respects. It was the only craft of its kind to change to a Marconi rig and continue to race in recent years. While it may never again lead the fleet home in an important race, its place as one of the most colorful ships on the River has been earned. It now is only a memory at Bay- view. But what memories it holds for the veteran sailors.

They may never see another ship like ner, This Mashie Shot Got Its Distance Ball Lands in Mall Plane and Travels 90 Miles (Br The AaKX-isted Prera) The world's longest mashie shot is claimed for Ky Wheelaa, Beaumont Tex, golfer. Wheelas was endeavoring to approach a green on the municipal links, so the story goes, when he lifted a high one that sailed over a landing field near by. A mail plane was taking off at the time, and the pellet nearly caromed off the pilot's head. Later, when the ship reached Houston, the ball was found In the cockpit, having flown 90 miles from Wheelaa' club. uif, t- hit of routine, consolation was sought in studying the record of v.s home run drives by Messrs.

The sensational Texas cow boy, who rose from the obscurity of an unranked player to become a seven-goal star while a member of the Detroit Freebooters, will play here with a lineup from the Lone star state. Detroit will be assured of a sea son of high-class polo, according to Marvin Harrison, the ever-enthu siastic backer of the sport here. It will open June 11. with the Texas Rainbows meeting a Detroit four at Harrison Field, and will con tinue through July and August.

Grennan Team Revamped The Rainbows, who will play here, are regarded as a strong lineup. Without the services of Smith, the Texas team won the southwestern championship at San Antonio this winter. Addition of Smith will greatly strengthen the team against Detroit opposition. Other members of the Rainbows are Lea Aldwell, Alfred House and Gillie Gllmore. Phil Grennan's Northvllle team will be revamped for the 1932 out door season.

Grennan will be at No. 1. and the youthful Bobby Nlchoalds at No. 2. Nlchoalda is one of the most promising of the City's younger players.

Earl Shaw's experience will fit him for the No. 3 position. A high goal player will be brought here to fill the No. 4 berth. Harrison does not expect to play himself this season.

Fonlos Due Here June 1 Cecil Smith has been playing polo this winter on the Pacific Coast, where two of the high-goal teams of which he was a member won major championships. This win be his nrst appearance here since 1930, when he left the Freebooters. Last year he was a member of -the strong Roslyn team, which lost the American Open title to the Santa Paula four from the Argentine after a hard He Is now the ranking No. 2 in this Country and Is handicapped at eight goals.

.363: Hayworth, By W. W. EDGAR Neahga, the little boat that once comprised the entire "fleet" of the Bayview Yacht Club, haa sailed across the River to its new home port at the Detroit Boat Club. From 1917, when the little white-hulled ship came out of the East, it had flown the burgee of the Bay-view Club until a week ago, when Harlan N. Walker sold it to Elms Knowlson.

When the craft was taken across the River, It left only fond memories among the Bayview skippers. It was on the Neahga that most of them learned the trick of sailing. It was on the Neahga, too, that they went for their first sail, for JIM LOGAS GIVES MASON WARNING Grappler Objects to Interference Jim Logaa, thick-ribbed Greek mat warrior, doesn't make a practice of ruining referees, but he has threatened to give Referee Jack Mason a couple of windmill whirls and twirl him up into the balcony If he Interferes while Jim is endeavoring to hammer Ted Waters, Gallup, N. cowboy, into the Arena Gardens canvas Monday night. Liogns has aspirations toward the light heavyweight crown held by Hugh Nichols and he doesn't want any outside interference while he is trying to smooth the path by steam rolling over Waters.

Logas figures Waters will provide enough trouble with his hammerlocks and double wristlocks without having Jack butt in. Jack has butted In a lot lately, too, pulling hair, clamping bead-locks and body scissors on the wrestlers, in fact just joining in the fun. It isn't likely he'll do so much Monday night, though, even with the boxing commission back of him, for if he should be thrown up in the balcony he would find himself with some folks with whom he is mighty unpopular. Even with wrestlers as mutinous and mayhem-mad as they are, Jack knows he is sMer in the ring with the matmen than out in the crowd. With Mason out of the way, the Joust between Logas and Waters might be quite a wild affair.

Waters usually turns the show into a rodeo, and often evidently imagines himself back bulldogging steers. Logas likes the hard going himself, ana wnen tne two light heavy weights warm- up body slams and airplane plns should be the mildest of weapons. They have two hours in which to jar each other into sub mission. Bobby Chick, Lubbock, light-heavy, will enter the warfare in the semi-final event, in which he is to crash against Bill Hassan, Cleveland bruiser.
