DR.. William Burdick has been as
signed by Secretary sullivan. of the

that body at the meeting Of the sub

telegram sent by Temporary Chair

be sent here who could explain the

ton of the union in regards to such
organizations as that formed here.
The Subcommittee viii meet in the
blue room of the Central Y. NJ c. A
at ? O'Clock this afternoon. and IL is
hoped that a decision can be reached
before the general committee gathers,
some two hours later. The question of
affliation with the A 4. L. seems to be
the main point at issue and the only
one upon which there Is any wide
difference Of opinion. Or. Burdick
may be able TO shed some light upon
some questions not at all clear in the
minds of the committeeman. After
the report of the subcommittee is
heard IL is believed that further con-
sideration of the constitution and by

the recent action of the Richmond

In the League this season without
giving any reason for its action.
II Is more than passing strange
that a school whose baseball team
during its first year made such
record as that made by Benedictine
College in 1912 should be denied
admission to a league OF this kind
IN 1913 unless IL be that the schools

majority Of them fear defeat at

I am Informed that In 1912 the

fused a second game They won the
majority of the games played with
