COLLEGE DIAMOND
ARTISTS MAY
MAKE TRIP
Players of Santa Clara College
Likely to Meet Eastern
Players at Seattle

The crack baseball team of Santa
Clara college is considering a journey
to Seattle this summer for the purpose
of doing battle with the representative
aggregations from the leading eastern
colleges, which are to engage in a
diamond festival at the Alaska ukon
exposition. Negotiations are in prog
letic committee of the exposition and
Michael F. Brown, manager OF the
Santa Clara baseball team, with the
object of arranging for a series of
games to take place at the big fair.
baseball tournament is being
planned as one of the leading attrac-
tions OF the exposition. and. tho most
famous college mines of the east Will
be on hand to contest with the repre-
sentative clubs of westerns colleges.
Harvard and Yale have signified their
intention of sending their ball players
to compete for the intercollegf Fate
championship at the exposition, and
strong Inducements have also been eX-
tended to the Michigan, Princeton and
Chicago universities.
The intercollegiate pennant looks
good to Stanford's cardinal nine, and in
all probability Stanford will make a
strong bid for the college baseball
premiership. Santa Clara college is
being urged to send its first team to
make a bid for the amateur baseball
supremacy, and it is practically a GER
tainty that the negotiations pending
between Brown and the exposition rep
resentative will result favorably.
The triumphant tour OF the Santa
Clara team through the Hawaiian
islands last year, the showing of the
collegians against the Chicago White
Sox first team and the trimming of
Stanford have given the Santa Clarans
an International reputation. Many in
ducements have been received by
Brown from the orient, with the end
In view of an invasion by the Jesuit
ball tossers.
Foremost among these is the COM
munication from Kleio university,
Japan. The athletic powers at this in
stitution are very anxious to pit their
doughty brown players against the
bearers of the crimson and white stan
dard and have posted good guarantee
TO insure the success of the trip. 1t is
probable that series of games will be
arranged between the big colleges at
the Alaska Yukon exposition sufficient
ly early to permit the acceptance of the
inducements from the orient.
The success of the Reach All-Ameri-
can baseball team in the orient, and
the generous hospitality. entertainment
and pleasure afforded each member OF
that aggregation has caused desire
on the part of the Jesuit college boys
to shoulder their bats and invade the
territory across the Pacific. and ii is
proba Bile that their ambitions in this
respect will be gratified

Representatives of the transconti-

that the good work which they had ac-
complished at that meeting would have
q tendency to lessen their labors in the
future. Judging from the applications
that are being received by the trans
continental freight bureau IL would
seem that the next meeting would be,
at least. as arduouS as any tnat nave
been held in the past
New conditions continually are aris-
ing, which necessitate radical changes
in current arrangements. If the de-
cisfons of the commission in the Phoe-
nix and Reno cases are on the same
lines as laid down in the Spokane case,
then it would appear that revision OF
all tranScontinentaI Westbound rates
would be necessary In order to meet
the new conditions. The task of the
traffic mana gers is becoming more diff
ficult and requires greater portion
of their time attending meetings than
has ever been necessary in the past.
Undoubtedly it will be necessary for
the traffic managers to assign to their
subordinates a vast amount of detail
work which they themselves have at
tended to heretofore.
The Belen cutoff of the Santa Re
is now being regularly used by that
line over which to handle it's trans
continental east and west bound traffic
The line is, OF course. new one and
it may take little time to get the
full efficiency out OF it. but even now
the time has been shortened 10 hours
west of Kansas City. Never before
has there been such a regularity OF
time-and good time-for so long a
consecutive time in the movement OF
transcontinental traffic, with every in
dfcation that it will continue, even II
the traffic should increase materially,
because the lines are beginning now
to get the returns from the enormous
investments made in track betterments
which include grades, curvatures. bal
