Work Of Other Teams.

For some time past the executive cou neil
| of the Athletic Association of the College
! Of the City OF New York has been seriously
considering the advisability OF discon-
! tinuing baseball for year or more and
/ allowing 1t to remain only "a an interclass
sport. The team ended he season last
year with a large debt which even the
contributions did not cover and the asso-
citation was obliged to use its funds to cancel
the deficit Football was discontinued and
established only a. an interclass sport last
fall. when rumors we're heard that baseball
was to be dealt with likewise a number OF
protests we're heard from the alumni and
underRrads To cut out baseball. II was
said, would give a death blow to the ath-
letics of the college. leaving II without a
major sport and only a few minor sports
At the ast meeting the committee decided
to put baseball, like lacrosse, on q provis-
ional basis and give it a chance to make
good This decision resulted only because
of the large surplus left over by the very
successful basketball team
There is enough money left in the treas
ury to carry the athletics through till col
lege closes. but not enough to organize a
football team in the fall. Lacrosse will not
cost much. being run as an indepe ndent
organization. The swimming aud gym
nastic teams will pay for themselves and
after paying all debts there will be several
hundred dollars which can be used for the
track and baseball teams. Manager Nell
