COLLEGE BASEBALL.

A number of important games were played on
college diamonds Saturday, in which Yale
met defeat at the hands of Pennsylvania while
Harvard won from Annapolis, Princeton from
Cornell and Columbia from West Point. The
games were all hard fought and won by mar
row margins, indicating that the fight for the
so-caled college championship will be close
one this year The Quakers have hard hitting
team and batted out victory over Yale in spite
of some ragged work in the field Yale really
played the better game, and the defeat was in
no sense a disgrace, Parsons weakened in the
seventh inning, and this accounted for the de-
feat Cornell has a strong team this year, so
that Princeton's success at ithaca indicates that
+ha Tigers will be fighting in the van when the
season draws to an end The men hitting
the ball hard, and Byram one of the best
pitchers in the college world. seems to have the
same wonderful speed and control which marked
his work in the early part of last season. Har-
ward played an errorless game against Annapo-
lis, which creditabe, in view of the short
time the team has been out Of DOORS The
Southern training trips of Yale and Princeton
were satisfactory, in the main. The defeats are
easily explained by the fact that their oppo-
nents had the advantage of much more prelimi-
nary practice in the open. The games were val
liable as pointing out defects and opening the
way for future correction. The Daily Prince
tonian'' has the following to say editorialy
about summer baseball:
The new baseball ruling which is proposed at
Cornell whereby members of the varsity team
are allowed TO play summer baseball for COM
pensation-except with major league team, or
with a New York State league team-although
a radical step, is which is we'll worthy of
the consideration of the athletic advisory COM
mittees of other universities. From this, we are
led TO infer that the playing with hotel or with
any other mi-professional team is legitimate
at Cornell. In consideration of the fact that in
conjunction with this rule other rules were
proposed the substance of which is almost iden-
tical with that of those passed by Princeton,
Yale and Harvard a short time ago, 1t appears
to us that Cornell has taken a brave step in the
right direction.
