FIRST CHAMPIONSHIP GAME TODAY AT THE
YALE FIKLD-oTHKR NOTES
To-day the first of the Yale varsity
championship games will be played at
Yale field, and weather permitting big
crowd will witness 1t and see how well
Captain Bliss has his tesmin hand. Good
work by the nine ia confidently expected
and special interest attaches to the contest
because of the undergraduates rule and the
long contest and discussion resultant
therefrom. There seems to be growing
impression that the new rule will be short
lived and only survive until January l
next. Captain Bliss has done admirable
work, and there is hope that his team will
wax Princeton to-day and make good
showing against Harvard's star players.
Professor Brush of the Scientific school
will take trip to the worlds fair as part
of his summer vacation, and quite large
number of Ysle's fsculty will visit the big
exposition also.
Changes and alterations are being made
in the building on Chapel street, formerly
occupied by the Yale University club,
across from South College. The whole
main floor is to be converted into fne
restaurant by Stewart. the caterer, with .
large ice cream parlor in front, com
modious supper room for ladies next In or
der, with large supper and banquet rooms
III the rear. The place, 1t Is understood
is to be beautifully equipped and decor

| IN NEW YORK JULY 1.-THE YALE HARVARD
THIRD BASEBALL GAME. -
The New York Post of last evening says:
"The question of.SS third baseball game
bet ween Harvard and Yale has been set
tied at last, and If 1t should be necessary
| it will be played in this city on July /, the
day after the New London boat race. This
| result was reached last night, and was de-
cided by graduates of the colleges in this
| city. 1t was an easy solution of the diff.
Guilty, and that it was not made by the
| teams without reference to the graduates Ii
not understood by either Yale or Harvard
| men.
| Much correspondence was had between the
| Tuesday of this week the Yale manager an
| nounced that all negotiations had been aban
| doned, and that under no circumstances would 9
third game be played between the two colleges
| The reason for this action on the part Of Yal'
| was said to be the refusal of Harvard to PLAY
g
| sgement declared that Harvard had been mott
fed early in the season that three games coult
| not be played unless the third game was playet
| before the dates set for the others, and that q
| Harvard had not come to any agreement befor
| the date set for it-May the negotiations wer
| off and that was the end of it.
| Harvard claimed that as the new game woul
| bo played on neutral grounds and the next gam
l on Harvards grounds tie in these would leav
| the deciding game to be played on Yale
grounds, which was too much OF disadvAntsg
| for the visitors. Harvard consequently onere
| to leave the question to a committee OF gradu
| ates from the two colleges and to abide by thei
| decision. This Yale refused on the ground tina
| If the decision was against them they would nc
| abide by 1t, as it would be impossible. The mar
| agement Of the team seems to have reconsidere
| its refusal and has done the best thing 1t coul
| for the good of the sport. There is no good rex
con why the third game should not be played o
| neutral grounds, IL the game should be necesss
ry, and the clam of Yale that 1t would be askin
too much Of the team to play thres champion
| ship games in eight days, works just as niue
| hardship for one nine as for the other.
1t is thought that the graduate advisory con
| mitee from the two colleges will continue Its il
| hueocs over the baseball teams and will try
| solve the difficulty there as they have in oths
|, l college matters. Some sort OF an agreemsr
| should be made which will put an end to ii
troubles between the colleges and place bsseba
| on the same footing as rowing and baseball.
