+. SUMMER BASEBALL
Yale, Harvard, and Princeton
viii Not Make Easy Path Of
College Players.

NEW HAVEN. Dec s.--Contrary to
published statements and general gos-
sip In college athletic circles since
the meeting OF the COMMITTEES OF Halq,
Harvard and Princeton. the sentiment
at the meeting was strongly opposed
to summer baseball. II was learned here
today on unquestiOned authority. This
in the face Of statements published
that the committee would make the
way easy FOR summer baseball players.
This stand taken by the committee
does not necessarily affect the cases

burn, Bill Easton. r. II. Rhett, tr., and
spencer Pumpelly, who may not re-
main permanently disqualified, even
with the committees discoufaging
summer baseball.
Their cases will undoubtedly be
considered et a later meeting and
accommodations made to the Yale
Athletic Association. and should the

circles there 10 no question felt here
but that the nve boys who played
baseball for their board at Quoque
could be induced TO scrateh their
names from their signed withdrawal
from athleticP with far more alacrity
than they originally were induced to
afhx them.
Among the strongest considerations
which moved the committees to their
attitude against the summer game
was the fact that associations sur
rounding summer ball are not thought
to be generally good and the fact
that II summer ball were encouraged

cally forced into summer baseball to
obtain or keep a place on q college
