Speaking of baseball, the Syracuse uni
versity has 1910 schedule of % games,
reaching from April 10 to June II. The
route extends as far west as Michigan.
On May 70 the team plays Michigan in
Ann Arbor and on the following day the
Michigan Agricultural college in Lansing.
The threatened fight for control of the
United States National Lawn Tennis
association is now going forward merri-
ly and the popping is being heard all
along the line That the warfare may
split the national organization is made
evident by the receipt of an open letter
forwarded to tennis followers all over the
United States by DR.. p. B. Hawk of the
University of Illinois at Urbana, Ill. Dr.
Hawk was the ambassador of the south
ern and western clubs to the national ex-
ecutive committee meeting held in this
city in December. In no uncertain man
ner DR.. Hawk denounced the national as
ISOLATION for it's lack of interest In the
west and south. He declared that the
west wished to hold national clay court
championship in a most representative
manner either at Omaha. st. Louis or
Cincinnati, but members of the executive
committee, A. l. Hoskins, Robert ID.
Wrenn William A. Larned, William j.
Clothier and Palmer e. Prebrey, declared
their opposition to the wishes of the west.
Dr. Hawk at the time called attention to
the angry letters from NJ. D. Macdonald
of the st. Louis Amateur Athletic asso-
citation: John T. Bailey of Albion. Okla.
and w NJ Wood, Omaha Field club; also
stating that three executives, Ralph Hol-
terhoff, Cincinnati; L. D. Scott, Atlanta.
and L. II. Waidner. Chicago, had favored
the proposed championship.
The threat of the west and south to
withdraw from the present association I'M
less the championship was awarded to
sport given adequate supervision in the
future, failed to move the committee.
The dsbarrng of seven members of the
University of Michigan baseball team will
lessen that clubs chances this spring.
The men are accused of being profession
ais in disguise. 1t seems that profess
SIGNALS have a penchant for poor old Mich
