Victories over Michigan and Western State normal marked the activities of the Varsity during the past week, scores 8-5 and 7-4. In both contests the Spartans out played their opponents throughout, setting the pace at all times. The game with Michigan, which should have been played on May 19 but wras post poned because of wet grounds, was played on Monday, May 24, before record crowd. Michigan was humbled by State for the first time in eleven years while Western State met its first defeat in five years. a George Kuhn did the mound duty for the Spartans. Even though he struck out but four men it was his slow, deliberate performance in the box which steadied the Varsity and put the victory across. In the second inning State began the barrage by collecting four runs. Zimmer man started the fireworks with a home run, hitting to deep right, the ball taking one hop before plunging into the Red Cedar. Following that Spiekerman, Baynes and Rowley got on and came home on Kuhn's hit to center field. At this point Fisher pulled Reutz and sent in Walters. After this the game was never in doubt. third, fifth and the Michigan scored in sixth, but were never able to bunch their hits sufficiently to tie or overtake the Spar tan lead. In the fifth State again scored four runs. Michigan going to pieces under the Varsity' attack of hits and stellar base running. Miclrgan outhit State 10-8. Both teams erred constantly, the visitors making three misplays and the Varsity four. The work of the Spartan outfield was exceptionally good. Fleser, Zimmerman and Haskins ac cepting eleven chances in the outer garden without error. Coach Kobs assigned the mound duty to "Lefty" Tolles in the Western State game. In the first eight innings he allowed but four hits. Four more hits, which came successively in the ninth had the ear marks of a ninth-inning rally for the visitors, but only two runs resulted from this attack. The visitors used three pitchers against two of State. Ruse, who went in after his team mates had been sent to the dug out, succeeded in holding the Varsity from further scoring. ss 5 1 2 80 1 Fleser, cf ..
