BIG TRIO IN
BASEBALL LEAGUE.
Yaie, Harvard and Princeton Have Ex- tended Their Series-Tigers May Row on Thames.

The new baseball arrangement be, tween Yale, Harvard and Princeton has extended the series of each of these three universities with each of the other two from two to three cer- tain games. The game in New York city was framed in order to give 8 winner in the triangular arrangement on the percentage basis, transforming the trio into practically a Yale-Har- ward Princeton baseball league. For several years the three have split their annual series so evenly that no So- called champion" can be declared Last season Harvard defeated Prince ton and Yale defeated Harvard, but PrincetoR beat Yale, each of the three universities winning one of it's no third game has been played except in case of a tie. Under the new ar engagement each nine will meet it's two rivals in d home and-home series and in third game in New York city.
 The Harvard Princeton and Yale Princeton games will be played on the Polo grounds. June Is and IS, respect lively, and the Yale-Harvard third match will be fought on Ebbets field, Brooklyn, Saturday, June 26. The New York Americans will abandon scheduled games to give up the Polo grounds to the Harvard-Princeton and the Yale-Princeton players. The St Louis Americans and the C1evelands were booked by the original American league schedule for these two dates.
 The Yale-Harvard game, June 26 will have as a. rival attraction the Giant S. Worlds champion match at the polo grounds. The New York Americans will be playing in Boston and the Brooklyns in Philadelphia. The certainty of a third game in New York city will swell the seasons receipts for Yale Harvard and Princeton by sever al This baseball nqan1ent is another link in the chain binding Yale, Harvard and Princeton more firmly together in athletic relations Another indication of the movement for closer athletic relations is seen in the series of the football conferences which Captain Wilson of the Yale eleven has called with Harvard and Princeton officials at New Haven.
 Yale took the lead a year ago in proposing that the three universities agree upon keeping their baseball coaches off the players benches during games, thereby compelling the matches to prove a genuine contest of the un- dergraduates. The scheme worked well and football mana gers of the three universities now desire to project it in- to the gridiron contests of the future The arrargeme ent of the three games in New York city discloses the fact that the Princeton nine will be com pelled to wait a week after the dia- mon season closes in Tigertown for its final games. Its last match on its home diamond will be the Ya1e-Prince- ton commencement day game on Sat urday, June 12.

 Yale is enthusiastically in favor of close athletic relations between the three universities, mutually. At pres ent they do not all three meet each other in rowing and thack athletics although Yale meets both Harvard and Princeton. It is by no means improb- able that Princeton will be induced tc enter the Yale-Harvard rowing regat- ta at New London. At present Har- yard and Princeton do not meet on the water nor on the track
