Some OF the most interesting ex-

OF the leading colleges Of the United

work there for number of years.

Three new players have been pur-

signed with the Maps.
Such a race has rarely been seen IN

rated and he asserts that the Varsity
players of today do not come up to the
standard of those OF the old days This is
also the opinion of many close observers
OF college baseball, and the reason for this
