NEW HAVEN. June 5.--Many good

Fall Athletics
For Big Three

CAMBRIDGE. Mass, June 5.-The
Harvard, Yale and Princeton athletic
heads are to discuss plans for fall ath-
letics at their respective institutions
at meeting to be held in New York
Friday evening

Yale, has no previous plans the trio
will talk things over Friday.

Baseball Magmates to Ask
Hearing on Railroad Fares

decision to cooperate with all
other organized baseball interests in
a request for a hearing before the
Railroad Commission in regard to the
proposed increase in mileage rates
was the outstanding feature of the
special meeting of the National
League magnates, held here yesterday.
1t was decided to take the matter up
with the commission in view Of the
travelling commitments made months
ago, when the seasons schedule was
adopted.
The advance in mileage and Pullman
rates will add considerably to the al
ready heavy expense under which the
clubs are operating and the magnates
are hopeful that a special ruling can
be made in view Of the fact that all
arrangements for the various circuit
trips were made at the very beginning
of the 1season.
Draft Order Discussed
The question OF the effect Of Cen
eral Crowder's order relative to all
men OF draft age doing essential war
work or serving with the army or
navy also came up for discussion. 1t
was decided to await a formal in
depreciation of the order and con-
crete case involving a National League
player.
A ruling was adopted to cover the
case of a player who, after joining
the army or navy, secures furlough
and returns to his club for the pur.
pose of playing one or more games.
4 was decided that no such player
should be eligible to play unless he
carried the written permission of his
commanding officer and unless his
club was under the twenty-three
player limit. After September l such
players will not be permitted to take
part in a league game under any cir
cumstnnces.
Satisfied With Conditions
There was no unfavorable comment
upon the present baseball conditions,
the consensus of opinion being that
the game and its support were ali
