BASE BALL SCHEDULES.
Naval Academy And St. Johns
College Associations
Fix Dates of
Games

It is regarded as settled at the Naval
Academy that the midshipmen's base
ball team will meet West Point this
year. The game will be at Annapolis
and the date fixed for May IA. Maua-
ger Eberle has also arranged one Of
the most extensive and ambitious sche-
dulles ever made at the Academy. A
very interesting feature of the base
ball season will be that the Harvard
basball squad will again do its spring
practicing here this year, the period
being from April II to 81 and match
games will be played on the two last
days of their stay.
The Navy contingent bases its belief
in the West Point gaug on the fact
that their understanding is that all
questions of eligibility are to be arbi-
trated and the game played on the
terms flxedupon. The schedule is as
follows:
March I9-Gallaudet.
March 26-Colombian University.
March 29-Brown University.
April cornell.
April 4-Lafayette.
April 9--Syracuse.
April ll--University of Pennsylva-
MIA.
April i6-University of Virginia.
/ April 20-2i--Harvard.
April 3d. Washington and Lee.
April 27--Dickinson.
April 80 = Maryland Agricultural
College.
May maryland Athletic Club.
May 7--Seventh New York Regi-
ment.
May i4-West Point.
No game has been scheduled be-
tweensSt. Johns College and the Mid
shipmen, and this is much deplored by
those interested in athletics. The
reason for this is the dispute which
arose between the two institutions
over the game of last season, which
st. Johns won. At the beginning
of last season two games were sche-
duled between the teams, but the
Navy apparently regarded them as
practice games and did not put eth
er of them on its printed schedule.
This course has been pursued for sew
eral years for the msidshipmen and
st. Johns believes that their game
should be regarded as q regular game.
Neither of the games were played on
the dates agreed upon and a new
manager of the navy team who had
been selected, stated that nothing
was said to him about the game by
the former manager.
The managers of the two teams met
however, to fix the matter up and
the misunderstanding between the two
has caused the present strained feel
ings. The midshipmen claim that
the games we're arranged while the St.
Johns boys claim that there was
only one. At any rate one game was
played and won by st. Johns. The
midshipmen therefore claimed anoth-
er game with st. Johns, but they
would not yield, claiming that only
one was scheduled and that their other
dates would not permit second game.
The midshipmen claim that St.
Johns backed out Of a second game,
while the collegians hold that the Sc
cond game was only offered because
the navy lost and further that they
have been treated with discourtesy
for some reasons by not being put on
the regular schedule. Friends of both
institutions believe that it would be
better to waive all past differences
and plap one or more games this year.
The game would probably be q fine
contest, as st. Johns winning battery
Stick, and Mudd, is still available.
No football game was played last sea-
son between the two team on account
of the baseball muddle.
