HARVARD REToRTS WITH A CHALLENGE.
UNABLE TO SEE WHY YALE SHOULD DEMAND
THAT THE CAMBRIDGE MEN PLAY
BALL WITH PRINCETON.
Boston, May (speclaD.-The Harvard baseball men
to-day sent the following letter in reply TO that OF the
Yale Association:
Cambridge. Mass, May o, 1884,
To Yale University Baseball Associaon' New-ha'en'
Conn.
Gouvemeur Calhoun Captain: The Harvsrd University
Baseball Association respectfully acknowledges the receipt
II your communication Of May l. 1891. to ID. b. Dean,
Captain H. U. B. b. c., In which, over the personal
signature OF Calhoun, for Yale you haVe
announced your intention OF not arranging
ball games for the present season.
we certainly regret that Yale sentiment Is opposed
to ball games with u.s. and that Mr. Calhoun has been
obliged to Of your unwlllngness 70 meet our
ball nine in series OF games which has for many years
undenabe source o. pleasure 70 the trchus VI
Yale and Harvard alike We are, in word. sorry has
you have been inclined ocaly TO check our negotiations
50 abruptly, and particularly regret that you nave
forced our discussion so prominently before the public eye
1t is unfortunate that Harvard Undergraduate repre-
sentaves agreed In their power, with your
delegates to arrangement for series OF h'e ganes
under proposed conditions justly unsatisfactory % our
Athletic Committee, which, we fancy, bears the same
governing relation to athletic organlzauohs sS ~ic
Yale faculty does TO yours.
In our of April l5 1891, we explained to you as
cerefuy possible the reas for the exeepuohs taken
30 proposed arrangement and we cordially asked you
to meet the purpose Of amending the arrangement
for the NTH gamo SERIES in regard to which alone
there has existed any difference of opinion
So far your reference relations with Princeton
is concerned only say, q, this time that our
agreement made under written condition that the
proceedings OF the meeting should be subject to the ap
poval respective Princeton Harvard University au
thoritles Furthermore, arc unable TO realize why III
the arrangement Yale Harvard SERIES there should DC
more Justice in your stt lation that Harvard should play
with Princeton than there would be in possible de
mand that should not play with Pnnccton-and inc
latter We believe would be an extremely untehaDie
position We regard the arrangement Of YaleHarvatd
games strictly and solely the concern OF the basena
associations Of Yale and Harvard and such we desire
to treat them.
After careful reading Of the existing correspondence
we are unable find any expression on your part of dis
satisfaction regard portion OF our original ?ropo
sitlon save that which relates to fifth game ana inc
arrangements therefor modified by u.s. In consider
ton of our unqualified agreement In regard TO four games
as arranged we should think it unfortunate II we
could not drop all thought Of fifth game and decide 10
play the four games.
1t is Harvsrds desire, in continuance OF long estab'
shed and agreeable custom, to play ball with hae thiS
wear and we therefore, this time challenge the hal"
University baseball club 10 play the Harvard University
baseball club Of four games, two In New-haVeh
and two in Cambridge-the games in New-Haven TO be
played May and June %, and those in Cambridge Oh
Nav 30 and June 49, any other dates II more con-
venient both under the conditions etc., governing
Yalc.Harvsrd games in 1890.
We trust that you receive foregoing proposition
in the friendly spirit rivalry in which 1t is sent
and that we shall have pleasure OF meeting repre-
sentaves at the proper time to make all arrangements
which as outlined will stand officially authorized and
without question far Harvard is In any way con-
cerned. Very respectfully yours,
DUDLEY s. DEAN. CAPTAIN ii. L. Is. IL. Assn.

wellknown Harvard graduate said last night that
il was not improbable after all that Harvard and 1al9
would play baseball with each other this spring Inc
facts in the for Harvard were these Captain Dean
arranged TO play with Princeton the agreement being
subject TO the approval Of the Harvard athletic com
mittee. But the arrangement could not DC carrled
out and il was not fair to mpute bad faith to captain
Dean. Harvard and Yale arranged 10 play four games
and fifth IL necessary. But 1t was found tlat INC
day of the fifth game inconvenien to the Harvard
team. in fact impossible to keep and the Harvard
management objected TO that day. Still, 1t was haruly
probable that fifth game would be necessary, ana II
did not seem right that Yale should withdraw from her
engaccmcnt with Harvard account OF the dsasree-
ment over the fifth game. Harvard would make any
reasonable concession TO Yale 10 get chance 10 play
this spring, and would appeal TO Iae's honor nov 20

ought to be willing to meet u.s. now that We ha'e o
chance 10 beat her.
