 The report published in afternoon pa- pers yesterday that arrangements had been completed for a race between the Yale freshman crew and the University of Wisconsin crew was entirely without foundation, and nothing definite has yet been decided upon in regard to the mat ter. The fact is that no definite ar engagements have yet been made, all though there has been some informal correspondence between Yale and the University of Wisconsin. It is quite possible that Wisconsin will send her first crew to row a two-mile race against the Yale freshmen. The race would take place near. New Haven, probably at Lake Saltonstall, some time in June. It must be understood, however, that no definite plan for the freshman crew has as yet been decided upon.
 A Philadelphia dispatch of last even ing says: Dr. J.. w. White of the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania has received a letter from Professor E. L. Richards of Yale university relative to question which Dr. White asked him about ama- teur baseball players. pr.

Professor Richards reply is to the effect that, while no such cases have occurred at Yale, he should consider that such a player was not eligible for college amateur nine. Pennsylvania has, taken a step to debar all professional players from her nine, and Professor Richards warmly comments the movement.
