The date for the meeting of the
Press association has been moved up
a week from the date first announced
and it now comes at the same time
with the Newberry commencement
Of course that does not concern the
membership of the association outside
of Newberry. But in the old days we
tried to figure so as not to conflict
with these commencement times. The
country editor who does all of his
work and is personally interested in
the commencement in his own town
does not feel that he can get away.
We were anxious to attend the
meeting this year but will in all prob
ability have to forego that pleasure.
It seems to US that the meeting is
rather early any way, but then if it
suits the majority it will have to suit
us. We suppose it was showed up in
order to make way for the political
campaigns. We hope the boys will
have fine meeting.

OPENING GAMES SHOW
 TEAMS WELL MATCHED
Cincinnati and Chicago White Sox Spring Surprises in First Games
 of Big League.

The rejuvenated teams of the Ma tonal and American leagues began the 1916 season under favorable weather conditions. Although only three sched- uled games were played Friday, the start was sufficiently unhampered by the weather to permit the fans throughout the country to get a good idea of the strength and defects of their favorites.
 In both leagues the line-ups were sprinkled with names of former stars in the Federal league. Several teams, particularly the St. Louis Americans and the Chicago Nationals, have many Federal players on their club rosters.
 The end of the first week found the Boston club leading in each league. Neither has yet lost game, but the Braves have played only two games and the Red SoX only three. Perhaps the greatest surprise of the short opening week was the strength dis played by Cincinnati in the National and Chicago in the American league
 Boston, although outhit by Brook lyn in the opening series. played flaw lessly in the field. The Braves appear to be even stronger than thev were last year. Brooklyn, with tn 1915 team virtually intact, was unable to do much opportune pitching against the Boston pitchers and ended the week in last place. Cincinnati ca.n- tured the first series from the reor ganized Cubs by three games to one. Clever pitching by Schneider, who al- lowed only two hits, gave Herzog's men the victory Saturday.
 Opening in the American league w.t. messed two three-hit games. Groom of St. Louis held Cleveland to three hits and CoveleslSie of Detroit did equally well with Chicago. Coveleskie further aided the Tigers to victory by making four hits himself The veteran Fielder Jones apparently has succeeded in merging the 1915 Browns and his old Federal league team into a winning combination.
 Cleveland and Washington are stronger than last year with new men added to their ranks. Klepfer of Cleveland held St. Louis to three hits Saturday. The Tigers and the White Sox, with their hard hitting outfields, appear every bit as strong, if not stronger than they did when the 1915 season ended.

SUNDAY BALL TAB0OED
Yale Faculty Establishes Precedent When "Pie' Way Asks Permission to Pitch Against Boston Braves.

New Haven, April 17.-The Yale ia aculty yesterday gave a formal deci sion that no undergraduate would be allowed to play Sunday baseball. It was rendered in the case of Pie" Way who was slated to pitch against the Braves yesterday. This decision it is expected will stand as a precedent, all though no record has been made of any Yale player who has ever before asked to play a Sunday game.

WESLEYAN ENTERS TEAM.
Middletown College to Have Strong
 Team in Penn. Games

Middletown, April 17.--Wesleyan will have a strong track team accord ing to reports at the Pennsylvania re- lay carnival at Philadelphia, on the 2Sth and 29th. It will be represented by a fast relay team composed of Beckwith, Kraft, Keupe and Potter Coach Hunter has also entered Pol tio and Williams in other track events The former is to run the mile and half mile, the latter will compete in the hurdles.
 It is felt, since most of these men have had experience in previous inter collegiate meets, that the chances for o fine showing are exceptionally bright in this meet. The colleges against whom Wesleyan will compete are Ohio Wesleyan, New York, Hav- erford, Williams, Pratt and Trinity.

Sammy White Comes Back.

Sammy White is coming East again soon, for visit, first trip out of the West since he beat Yale and Harvard single handed back in 1911. To show just how fragrant the memory of him ic, Dean Mathey and other Prince tonians are planning to give Sammy a big reception at the Princeton club on May 5.
 Princeton has not won a football game from Yale or Harvard since White went away, so it is only fitting that Nassau should not only give him a regal welcome, but also try and hold him for another stand against the Blue and Crimson next fall.

Perfect Golf.

Our worthy and esteemed golf opponent of a vanished summer, Colonel Bert Lesion Taylor, calls at tention to the fact that the only per feet putt is the one that drops into the cup, whether it be from 2 feet or 30 feet away. Briefly, a 30-foot putt that runs up within an inch of the cup is not perfect one. That is true.
 Attention might also be called to the fact that if perfect golf were played the butter would be an utterly useless club. There would be no putting to be done where all ap- proach shots were holed.

Larry P. Mangan, one of the best informed young men in baseball in this city, has succeeded Charles Mil Ter as manager of the Pirates base ball club. The new manager is mak- ing arrangements for a strenuous campaign for his "pets,'' who if they live up to the reputation made under Manager Miller's care, should again be classed as one of the fastest teams in the city. The club held it's first practice yesterday afternoon.

An Example.

The best example of perfectly played hole that we can recall de- veIoped last spring at Greenwich.
 The leading man in the drama was Walter Hagen, who was playing in a four-ball match with Jerry Travers Fred Herreshoff and Alex Smith This hole, as we remember it, was the thirteenth. It was 44O-yards long. Hagen drove 250 yards and then, using a mid-iron, holed his next shot for a 9, against a par of 5.
 That was perfect golf. Even a s would find tho hole imperfectly played, though it would be under par.

According to those on the inside at New Haven, Captain Cupid Black of the football team came in for a lot of unjust criticism upon his recent interview about numbering players. It seems that Captain Black was not only misunderstood, but that he had no intention of starting a controversy upon this subject having troubles enough of his own ahead with liar ward and Princeton and w. & J. still upon the Yale football schedule.

 Captain Huston and Colonel Rup- pert spend s135, 1000 for new talent, sent most of it South February p, ard had said talent all rounded into fine condition. Then starting North, the $135,000 and more worth of talent was able to play something like four games in fourteen days, losing in ten days most of the good that was gained. We have a hunch there will be the vote of one club at least against another mid winter start.
 Babe Adams had his last big year back in 1913, when he won twenty one games and lost ten. Judging from his 1915 start, Babe still has something left besides his glove.
