The Brown baseball team Is looming up
as the strongest claimant of the inter.
collegiate championship and many OF the
big college mines believe she already
holds that position. and In the few re-
naming games TO be played will take
undisputable precedence over her only
rival claimants. Princeton and Cornell OF

The Brown Herald prints a summary
OF the college baseball championship dis
cussion in which the scores OF Brown,
Cornell and Princeton are compared and
comment OF New York papers quoted
with reference TO Browns supremacy.
The gist of the Brown Herald article Is
TO the effect that mot unless Brown loses
TO both Harvard and Penn will II be clear
that either Princeton or Cornell has any
claim to the championship" The article
follows:
yesterdays New York Tribune con-
tained the following:
"'By defeating both Harvard and Yale
last week Brown showed that the Provi-
dence college must be ranked close to
Cornell in selecting the winner of the
so-called college baseball championship.
In fact, the Providence nine has strong
claim for first honors. as Cornell lost TO
Harvard on Saturday by the score OF ! TO

played on account Of the weather. for 1t

ranking Of the teams. Brown won from
Yale by the score OF 5 to 2. and defeated
Harvard ! TO 0. the same score by which
Cornell lost to Harvard.

ors, with odds strongly favoring the
former In the opinion OF many followers
OF intercollegiate baseball Brown has
legitimate claim 10 the championship.
while others favor Cornell.
yesterdays New York Sun stated that
now the championship seems to belong
10 Brown rather than TO Cornell or
Princeton.
TT seems to be generally conceded that
the championship lies between Princeton,
Cornell and Brown. and as none Of these
teams play either OF the others their
comparative standing can be Judged only
from the games they nave played with
ether colleges The complete records OF
these three colleges rollow. the scores
OF Brown Princeton and Cornell being
gfven below before that Of the opponents
designated--thus Bowdoin So means
Brown beat Bowdon. while Fordham IL
means Princeton was beaten by Fordham.
