CHICAGO, June 20.-The members OF
the faculties Of the eight big colleges
forming the western college conference
have passed a rule which they hope will
be step toward a solution OF the ques-
ton Of summer ball playing by members
OF college teams. This plan, proposed by
Athletic Director Stagg of the University
Of Chicago. provides that every player
who wishes to play during the summer
months shall file Immediately his name
and the name of the team with which he
intends to play.
The proposal was adopted unanimously
and is now a law of the conference. Coach
Stage does not believe that this will cure
the summer ball evil. but. as be says. the
measure is for the purpose OF gaining a

Marquette League Notes.

The schedule for the week follows:
Monday. Marines versus Commissioners:
Tuesday. St Nincent's versus ST. Joseph s;
Wednesday, st. Peters versus ST. Paurs;
Thursday. Commissioners versus st.
Pauls; Friday, st. Peters versus Ma
rines; Saturday, St. Vincent's versus St.
Joseph's.
Although Il is difficult to pick the pen
nant winner, yet it is safe to say that
St. Joseph's and the Marines will be clos
up when the flag falls. The managers OF
both are claiming that if their boys play
the ball they are capable of it will be
impossible to keep them out Of first place.
ST. Vincents and the commissioners are
also formidable aspirants for first hOnors,
and II is hard to decide. which one will
top the other. Both teams have with
them a classy lot of youngsters. and
with a little base ball luck may spring
a surprise.

players his team will be entirely out of
the running. Though the team showed
decided improvement in the game with
st. Joseph Friday it did not put up the
article of ball that wins games.
The game played between the Commits
sioners and st. Vincent Thursday, when
the latter team won in the last inning
by a grand batting rally was the most
exciting contest in the Marquette Leagde
in some time. When the ST. Vincepts
went to the stick for the last time the
score stood to against them, and as
Cleve Beckett. who was on the mound for
the District building team, appeared to
be as effective as ever. things looked pretty
bad for the Southerners. But the big
surprise came. Daily. the first one at the
p4n. cracked out a double which was
followed by four singles in rapid success
sion. and when the dust cleared four
runners had crossed the plate.
Hessler of the st. Josephs is considered
one of the best all around players in
the league. Dutch" is also the leading
sticker Of the Northeasterners.
Hooks Cohill. St. Vincents star sec
ond sacker. is topping the league in that
position.

game. He is the best batter on the Ma

Association. no entry has been received

ments for the regatta were completed

told a long time ago. when asking for in
formation that il the Pacific coast uni
versities would hold a regatta under the

might send their entry to the Poughkeep-
sic regatta but no response was received.
If the present plans are the outcome Of
that suggestion they are too late for this
