As usual, the Yale and Princeton
baseball teams will play a series for
the best two out of three this spring.
The first contest is carded for June 1
at New Haven. the second at Princeton
on June 8, and, should a third game be
necessary, ii will be played in New
York on june 10. The Tigers have ar
ranged a game with Rutgers for March
20 at Princeton.
The schedule is an unusually lengthy
one, and calls for games with all of
the best teams. There are thirty-two
contests on the list. and there will be
thirty-three if three games are neces-
sary with Yale.
Games with Yale. Harvard, Cornell,
Pennsylvania and Brown are the big
gest on the intercollegiate calendar.
Exhibition games with the Baltimore
lnternationals and the Boston Ma
tionals are also included. Michigan has
been booked for a game at Princeton
on May y, Dartmouth, Williams, La
fayette. Amherst, Penn State, Holy
Cross and Fordham are also on the
list. The usual Easter trip through the
South will be taken.

The only hope that Bobby Wallace
holds out to st. Louis fans is that he
will surely make the Browns finish
ahead of the Nationals. Strangely
enough, everyone interested in the Ma
tionals look upon it as a foregone con-
clHsion, that they will finish ahead of
the st. Louis Club. 1t would be a hard
blow. indeed. for the Browns to drop
the Nationals back in the last hole.
and yet stranger things nave happened
in baseball. though anyone believing
this TO be a good betting proposition
should have no trouble being accom-
modated.

There are but three players i'm the
American League who have been in
the organization since it's Inception in
1901. They are Lajoie. Plank and Billy
Sullivan, of the White Sox. In just ten
wears the entire makeup of the eight
teams has changed entirely. barring
the three players named, who, Incl
dentally, have not changed clubs.

that this trio has started on the down

pitchers again last season. while Laioie

credit which Frank Chance received
for he splendid showing he made with
the Cubs has been attributed To tbe
able assistance in a managerial wav

to King to show that he has the abil-

this city. which claimed a mean deal

work, and his organizations record for
fair craftsmanship is well known.
