 Letters have been sent to the college base
 ball clubs throughout the country by the
 secretary of the newly formed Players
 league, requesting them not to join in the
 boycott against that association.
 The New York League team this year has
 four old college players: Young of Harvard,
 Clarke of Williams, Turner of Amherst and Doley of Hamilton.
 The condition of Graves '91, which a few
 days ago was quite serious, is now much
 improved. He is much better at present and
 will probably soon recover, although not in
 time for the Easter trip of the nine. F. Fl. Robinson '91 departed from the town rather suddenly few days since. He
 was indebted to a A. Thill, the tailor, to a con- siderable amount, and as MT. Thill took heroic measures to gain his due MT. Robinson became alarmed and skipped town. The Cincinnati club will hold it's banquet tonight at Redoliffs. This is the first that | the club has held and promises to be a suc-
 cess. The club has now fourteen members. | There will be several invited guests, SO that covers will be laid for about twenty. Tomorrow afternoon at o'clock the an- nual junior exhibition will take place in Bat | tell chapel. Afternoon recitations will be omitted in the academic department in order that all may have an opportunity to witness the only oratorical contest of the year at Yale. Many juniors who have heard the contestants crate are of the opinion that Brown will win the first prize, which amounts to abont $100. He is one of the best speakers in the class. Cox and Kings bury will undoubtedly have orations of great literary merit, as we'll as Ray Smith, but they do not possess the oratorical power that Brown has. However, the members of the faculty who are present will immediately after the contest meet in the presidents office in the treasury building and render de- cision as to who shall have the first prize The winner is generally sure of an election to Skull and Bones, 8 prize that is considered more valuable than money. Professor Mark Bailey has trained
 the speakers daily for three weeks in elocu- tion and the result of his efforts has been very encouraging, for there hes been 8 marked improvement.
 The Yale steam launch is being prepared for use this season. Next week it will again be called into service. Next week will be one of hard work for the varsity crew. Bob Cook will be in town to take charge of
 the crew. From the bow of the launch he will give the oarsmen some pointers that must not be forgotten right away. The new
 she'll ordered by the navy from Waters will be ready for use about the first of May. Several Yale athletes are entered in the Harvard games to be held on Saturday night. This evening before the Yale Kent club Hon. P. D. Chamberlain of New York, ex- governor of South Carolina, will lecture. Subject: ''The Race Question" The lec
 ture will be delivered in the common pleas
 court room, commencing at o'clock. This
 lecture Is added to the regular course. All
 those holding the old tickets will be admit
 ted. Governor Chamberlain is we'll know as an able speaker, and has new and original thoughts to throw around this vital public and natural question.
