NEW BASEBALL LEAGUES
By EDWIN J. POLLOCK

THE biggest sports campaign ever

yesterday, when Major Mylin J. Picker
ing, the graduate manager, and COM
mittee Of undergraduates compr' sed
mainly Of mana gers. decided on a pro-
gram that will bring as many students
INTO athletics as equipment and room
will permit.
1nterdepartmental. interclass and in
terfraternal matches will be STAGED in
various branches of sports and Frank
lin Field. Museum Field and all other
spots around the campus will be in use
at all hours when the undergraduates
are free from their studies. The scheme
Is the nearest approach to athletics for
all that facilities warrant. but the com
petitive feature will be maintained
throughout.
For baseball Manager Sam Harrell
is planning interfraternal and interde-
partmental leagues. SO far the Whar-
ton. Arts. Engineering and Dental
Schools have promised to put teams In
the field, and It is likely that other de.
partnents will be added. All the fra.
ternities are eligible to enter the Inter.
fraternal League and II is probable tina,
several circuits will be formed. with a
worlds series" to decide the champion
of the leagues.
The interfraternal track meet will be
revived and Coach Lawson Robertson
will be given full charge. But the

The fraternties viii be notified that
they will have to send their entries at
least ten days before the meet to tho
coach. and they will be required to go
through a short training period IN
preparation for the meet. No one will
be allowed TO compete unless he reports
to Robertson for work ten days prior to
the date of the championships.
Crew also is In for a boom. Coach
Joe Wright announced yesterday that
no one would be cut from the squad.
Every man, no matter of what weight
or ability. will be retained so long as
he lives up to the training rules.
At the end of the season a big regatta,
closed to Penn men, will be held on the
Schuylkill. interclass races and races
for crews of the same weight will be
arranged for the last week in May This
regatta will hold the interest of the
candidates for the varsity and fresh
man shells who are not picked for the
big eights.
Interfraternal, interclass and inter.
what-not matches will be played in ten
mis-, soccer and volley ball. 1t has been
decided to lay out courts on the ground
at Thirty-fourth and Chestnut streets,
which is not being used now.

The Prince of Wales.

Washington regrets that it presents
so gloomy an appearance upon the
arrival of the Prince of Wales. who
comes to the American capital after
a long tour in Canada. This is the
first appearance of the heir to the
British throne in this city. He has
seen some wonderful things since he
came to this side of the Atlantic. He
has become acquainted with Canada
in all aspects. He has had a passing
glimpse Of the United States in his
route from the border here. He has
shown a keen appreciation of every
thing, and he cannot fail to be i'm.
pressed with the seat of the govern
ment of this country, even though he
reaches it in such unpropitious con-
ditions as those that prevail today.
The Prince of Wales is following
in the footsteps of his grandfather in
thus coming to America. He. like
the late Edward VII, has won the ad |.
miration and affections of all whom
he has met His American tour has
been fruitful of good results in ce-
menting the union of the English
speaking peoples and in making the
dwellers upon this continent under
stand more fully the spirit of Eng,
land.
Official honors will be paid to the
Prince Of Wales. He will be enter
tanned and feted as BELTS his rank.
He is, however, democratic youth,
as has been shown repeatedly in the
course of his travels, and doubtless
prefers the plain ways of ordinary
life to the ceremonials of state. "Chief
Many Smiles" as the Indians of
northwest Canada called him, is very
much like the average young Amer
lean in his tastes and manners, and
probably he would be glad of chance
to visit Washington as an individual
and to "do" the. city as do the thou
sands Of Americans who regard a Dill
grimage to the capital as virtually a

Berger's Exclusion.

Victor Berger's exclusion from the
House of Representatives., which was
accomplished yesterday by a vote Of
800 to l, was a foregone conclusion.
The course of the House in this re-
spect was virtually predetermined by
the circumstances as disclosed in the
hearing before a committee and the
majority report of that committee
to the House. Any other action would
have shocked and astounded the coun-
try. Berger has been found guilty by
a court of law of violation of the es-
pionage act in that he uttered sedi-
tious sentiments in the course of
speeches and in print relative to the
preparations Of the United States for
entering the European conflict. He
now stands under sentence of i'm
prisonment and his personal presence
in the House yesterday to speak in
his own behalf was due to the fact
that his appeal to higher court is
still pending awaiting action. He
took advantage of the House rules
and the courtesy which is granted to
ANY member under accusation to ad-
dress that body at length in his own
behalf. He did not strengthen his
case, but rather, if that were posi-

1t now remains to be seen how far
the strike orders cancellation will be
observed by the miners. They should,
of course, heed the mandate of the
court, reaching them through the me-
dunn of an official revocation of the
strike order. Some of them, it is in
dicated, may not obey. The unions
should deal with them directly. The
court cannot.
In all likelihood cancellation of the
strike will, with little formality of
notification, result in prompt return
of great majority of the men to their
work. 1t should be made plain to
them by their leaders, national and
district, that only by restoration of
working conditions can they put them
selves in position to gain the ad-
vantage of a full negotiation and set
tlement of their demands. 1t is now
to be demonstrated whether the same
authority that called them out. the
same discipline that drew more than
100000 men from the mine workings,
can send them back to the pits and
shafts. ss.''.
This action at Indianapolis greatly
lessons the strain Of the industrial
crisis. Defiant statements by labor
leaders, aimed at the action of the
government in the invocation of the
law to prevent a catastrophe, will
merely intensity the sentiment that
now already prevails strongly through
the country that in this critical june
ture the federal administration has
acted rightly in the general public
interest.

Armistice Day.

Armistice day is observed in Wash
ington with appropriate ceremonies. on
a modest scale, in a spirit of gratifi
cation. 1t would be happier if this
first anniversary of the close of hos
tilities could be marked in conditions
of absolute domestic peace. Yet it is
with distinct relief that the people
note that this day witnesses the sub
mission of the coal miners to the law
and the probable passing of grave
menace of national disaster.
During the year that has passed
since the armistice was signed much
has happened, and yet even at this
hour the treaty of peace remains un,
ratified by the United States. The
great problem of international set
tlement, with its manifold complica
tions, has not been solved. War is
raging in Europe today in many
places.
Our own part in the war has been
virtually completed. Our armies are
not yet demobilized in full. Peace
has not been proclaimed and cannot
be until the treaty is signed. We
have not yet taken full advantage of
the lessons learned in the war in the
matter of our equipment and pre-
paredness for defense. Yet start
has been made, and there is conf
dence that a wise course will be laid
out that will make America stronger
and more secure.
