WILL STAY OUT.
Bowdoin Ball Team Will Not
Join League in 1895.
Prefers Greater Freedom in PLAYING
With Out-of- f-the-State Clubs.
Colby Votes to Invite Bowdoin TO Ioin and
Play Her "Medics."

Brunswick, Nov. 3.-(SpcciaD AT a
meeting OF the Bowdoin Base Ball Asso-
citation, this afternoon, it was voted, after
considerable discussion, to remain out of
the State League the coming season. The
college is well satisfied with its record last
season, and desires the greater freedom to
play teams out of the State which being
outside the league gives it, 1t is prob
able that, as last year, series of games
will be arranged with the other college
teams of the State. 1t is understood that
Colby and Maine State are anxious to
have Bowdoin in the league but that
Bates objects if the medical students are
allowed to play. 1t was this step taken
last year in admitting the medical stud
cnts to the athletic privileges Of the col
lege, that so frightened the other colleges
in the State, though there was no medical
student who played on the ball nine or had
any idea of doing so. Bowdoin has unani-
mously voted to stand by this position ta-
ken last year, and if the other colleges do
not like it they can make the most of it :;
but in any case, whatever their action
may be- Bowdoin will remain out of the
league next spring.
