 ITS BASEBALL SCHEDULE
Arrange to Play 31 Games-Yankee Seconds to Replace Red Sox
 This Season

Princeton's 1913 baseball schedule, provides for thirty-one games which is three less than that of 1912. The principal changes are the southern trip. which comes this year at Easter without d game at Princeton before the team starts southWard. and the changes in the makeup If the slate.
 Lehgh gets bumped from the schedule. following the announcement that athletic relations between Princeton and Lehigh had become somewhat strained. and that the Rethlehemites would not appear on any of the big athletic schedules un- til the matter had been patched up.
 John Hopkins and Virginia go to Princeton for their games with Princeton this time, instead of meet ing the Tigers in the south. The Yankee seconds will take the place of the Red Sox seconds to give the Tigers their taste of professional baseball opposition. It has been ar ranged that Elsie Sterrett, 12 who was captain of the Princeton nine last season and afterWard went t. the Yankees will come back with the seconds for this game
