By common consent the intercollegiate
base ball championship has now narrowed
down to the result OF the Yaie-Harvard Sc
ries. Yale has disposed Of Princeton, Penn
sylvania and Columbia, while Harvard has
beaten Cornell, Princeton and Pennsyl-
vania. In accordance with this no other
members Of the big Six have any argu-
ment with Yale and Harvard for first hon
ors. The record Of the Ellis and the Grim
son, however. is marred by several unmer-
cfful beatings which they have received
at the hands Of smaller colleges. Thus
Harvard has been beaten by Dartmouth,
Holy Cross and Amherst, while Yale has
lost to Manhattan. Fordham and Brown
This precludes Harvard and Yale from any
claim to being invincible, though in re-
marking on the defeats they have sus-
tanned 1t should be remembered that they
did not have their full strength in the
field when they lost. Had these games
been championship affairs 1t is not Likely
that they would have lost.
Because Of their eleven-inning tie game
on Thursday the Harvard and Yale base
game altogether and to start another Sc
ries on Tuesday. 1t is likely that this Sc
ries will furnish some upsets because of
the fact that both colleges are depending
upon a single pitcher. For instance, Har-
ward has not a hrst-class twirler outside Of
Coburn, nor Yale outside OF Jackson.
Should either of these men be injured or
be put out of the game for any reason
1t would play havoc with the unfortunate
team. Not in recent years have Yale and
Harvard been so hard up for good pitchers.

It is not improbable that the University
of Michigan will be seen at the intercol-
legiate regatta at Poughkeepsie within a
few years. possibly in 1906. The Wolverines
have decided to organize a crew. and as
they have frst-cIass facilities for the train
ing Of their oarsmen they ought to cut an
important figure in intercollegiate rowing.
If Michigan finally takes up rowing 1t IS
not improbable that it will ultimately lead
to western regatta. At present Wiscon-
sin is the only college in the middle west
that fosters rowing Wisconsin comes east
year after year because there are no COM
petitors for her In the west. Chicago has
frequently considered taking up rowing,
but has never gotten any farther than
this. In case Michigan and Chicago or
ganize crews Wisconsin would probably
drop out of the Poughkeepsie regatta and
help to organize similar one in the west.
The University Of Minnesota Is another
western institution that has considered the
organization of a crew from time to time,
but nothing has ever been done.
The middle western colleges will be well
represented at the athletic games which
are to be held at the Portland exposition
