EASTERN COLLEGES NOT IN FAVOR OF
 SUMMER BASEBALL
SEVEN COUNTRIES
 SEEKING DAVIS CUP
Countries Entered 1913 Tournament Will All Compete Again This Year With Exception of South Afrca-Three
 Teams to Play Abroad.

New York, March S.-With dates for the Davis cup international tennis tour nament matches drawing nearer, it is possible to estimate the task that con- fronts the United States players if they successfully defend the trophy regained in England last season. With the eX- ception of South Africa all eight count tries that entered the tournament in 1913 will be represented this year. The chal- longing nations comprise the British Isles, France. Germany. Canada, Aus tralasia and Belgium. The United States as defenders of the cup, stand out and will play the team whsch comes through in the challenge round August 13, II and 15.
 Since a majority of these nations will nominate about the same players who competed for the trophy in 1913 the re- suits of the matches a year ago form an excellent basis for forecasting the outcome of the preliminary ties.
 Germany Draws Bye
 In the upper half of the draw, Canada and Australasia meet in the first round with Germany drawing a bye. In the lower half, Belgium and the British Isles are opposed in the initial round, with France standing out to meet the win ner. With Australasia and the British Isles separated by the halves of the draw it is reasonable to presume that these two countries will come through the pre- liminary rounds and meet in the final for the right to play the defending team.
 In the first round of 1913 play Germany defeated France four matches to one: United States defeated Australasia four matches to one and Canada defeated South Africa three matches to one, while

Belgium drew bye. In the second round United States defeated Germany five matches to one and Canada defeated Belgium by q similar score. In the final round United States won from Canada and then defeated the British Isles. the defenders, three matches to two The re- suits would appear to indicate that Aus tralasia. even represented by the 1913 team, would have little difficulty in de- feating Canada and Germany. while the British Isles should eliminate both Bel gium and France in the lower half.
 Teams We'll Matched
 This would bring Australasia and the British Isles in the final, where, under last years conditions. the teams would be well matched. judges on the basis of results against the United States team. The Australasian team for the coming tournament will comprise A R. Wilding the conqueror of Maurice Mclaughlin. Norman E. Brookes, the equal of Wild ing when he ceased to play two years ago; Stanley Doust and A. w. Dunlop. In the general worlds tennis rankings Wilding and Brookes are always rated among the first three, while Doust and Dunlop seldom rose above eighth place. The English players, ~. C. Parke, C. r. Dixon and H. Roper Barrett also rank with the leading players of the world. sharing these honors with Mclaughlin and R. Norris Williams of the United States team
 According to the tentative plans of the entering countries Britith Isles. France and Belgium will play their ties abroad. Canada, Australasia and Germany will hold their elimination series in this coun- try Assuming. therefore that Austra- lasia and the British isles meet in the final round, the test match will be played in the United States. followed by the challenge round at New York, Boston or Newport, on August 13, II and 15. This will necessitate the presence in this coun- try Of some of the most famous of for eign players.

 TO WORK IN EARNEST TODAY '
lnfield and Outfield Candi- dates Due TOday-BrOwn and Dilger Expected. Seven Places on Team Almost Settled
By ASA ROUNTREE, JR.

Reinforced by regulars, the Baronial training squad will get down to work in earnest during the coming week and by next Saturday Manager Molesworth will have very fair fine on the va rlous recruits that are aspiring for berths on the local team during the 1914 season.
 Beginning today, the outfeld and in- field candidates will put in their appear ances and the training season will then be on in full swing.
 With nearly d weeks work behind them, several of the Barons have begun to round into fairly good shape and the going during the coming six days will not be easy especially if Old Sol con descends to give the Barons the best of his wares.
 Already three veterans-Pete knisely, Clyde Mcbride and Omar Hardgrove- are on hand. while another trio who are expected to make g,,od, Jimmy Ma gee Burleigh Grimes and Tragresser, have also put in their appearance. And with this seXtet as pacemakers, the life of the rockies from now on will be far from peaceful.
 Brown and Dilger Expected
 The training squad at present numbers II players, but this is expected to be materially increased today. as several players have written that they will reach the city then. Principal among those who are being looked for are Curley Brown and Fred Dilger. Eddie Mcdonald is expected to arrive tomorrow.
 Should Old Sol be on the job this morn ing, Manager Molesworth will inaugu- rate batting practice and give the pitch- CTS a chance to work some of the kinks out of their salary wings. Later two teams will be picked and scrub games staged.
 Moley has a wealth of mound material on hand and he is going to find it hard to give all their fill of batting prac- tice. Among those who have gotten down to work are Omar Hardgrove Burleigh Crimes Harbin, Murphy, Johnson, Sloan, Fittery, Nolan and Scokel.
 Others on Hand
 The other players on deck, classified as to positions are: Tragresser and Wag- ner. catchers; Mills, first base; Clarke, second base; Knisely, Mcbride and Ma gee, outfielders.
 Seven places on the Baron team have almost been settled.
 These are one placv on the catching staff, four on the pitching corps. first base, shortstop, third base and right field and possibly center field.
 Tragresser behind the bat Hardgrove Grimes. Gregory and Brown in the box: Covington at first Ellam at short: Mo Donald at third, and Knisely in right are the ones who appear to be certainties However, Molesworth is still open to con- viction and should any of the recruits demonstrate to him that they are better than any of those who are almost cer- tain of positions. he stands ready to change.

CROSS KEYS

Cross Keys, June Son Friday af-
ternoon we had a good season of rain,
in some places it was a real water
spout. Little streams of water that
had almost become dry during the
recent dry weather looked like little
rivulets. The ground had been dry
so long that it was very soft where
it had been cultivated and when the
rain came it fell so rapidly that it
washed very badly. Mr.. j. w. Hum
Phries had quite a lot of oats washed
away. There is sufficient moisture
now to sprout the corn and cotton
s, ed that has been lying in the ground

Mr.. James L. Murphy came near
losing his oldest child one day last
week. 1t seems that the little fellow
went into the stable where the mule
was and undertook to rub it down as
he had seen his father do and when
he was found the print of the mules
foot was on the little boys face. 1t
is thought that the child was so close
to the animal that when it kicked him,
iG just pushed him away.

in some of the states to cut out the
small college. In Pennsylvania a
college cannot issue diploma to it's
graduates unless it can show tangible
facilities that are worth at least 5000,
600. The same movement is being
agitated in other states and bids fair
of success. This tends to throttle the
beneficent work of hundreds of men
and women all over this great coun-
try of ours and lessons the opportuni-
ties of thousands of the boys and
girls that need help.
You, the graduates of 1914, ought
to be proud that you are the product
of a small institution where you have
had the advantage of the personal
touch with student and teacher which
means so much for you in future life.
| shall always count the experiences
and heart to heart discussions that
had in a class of only four, as the
mountain top experiences of my life.
Now, in conclusion, l do not feel
that l could give you any better ad-
vice than that you should emulate the
ideals of you leader as you go out
into your life work. For as 7 go

ory of your worthy veterans, without
seeing in the background a picture
of the struggles of your leader; and
as we go further and pass the beauti
full city library you will see visible
evidences of the untiring and indefat-
igable efforts of your leader and then
when you resort to the pages of man
uscripts and your local newspapers
you will see that a great effort is be-
ing made to preserve the deeds and
records of your southern hero, who
without the hand of an historian
would lie in the mounds with unmark-

Young women, or fellow graduates,
pick up the mantle that is being hand
