following recommendation was adopt
ed, made at meeting held in Water

of a Maine intercollegiate Baseball
League, at which Bates, Bowdoin,
Colby and the'Unjversity of Maine We're
represented by the baseball manager
of each and at at which either an
alumnus or member of the faculty of

close of the playing season, each
spring, the meeting to be called by the
Colby manager at such time as shall

authority to arrange an Intercollegiate
schedule; to make arrangements for
out-of-State colleges to play Maine col
leges in Maine; to decide upon a staff
of umpires; to determine definitely the
Maine college championship at the
close of the season; to make the eX-

this is an important step toward the
formation of a Maine intercollegiate
Baseball League. and to this end it is
hoped that it will eventually success.
This fall an attempt was made to form
such a league. but as the managers of
some of the Maine teams had arranged
games previous to meeting called for

for the season of 1905. but of course
this depends upon the acceptance of
the above recommendation by the
athletic interests of all of the Maine
colleges.
