Yale Prepares to
Reorganize New
Athletic Body

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Feb. l5.-Al
though Yale's athletic council has not
been reorganized, following the suspen
sion of athletics during the war, steps
have been taken to form the body along
lines laid down by the constitution
which was adopted three years ago,
when Yale athletic affairs underwent
complete Transformation. More than
half the members of the committee have
been in military service during the past
two years, which monopolized their time
so completely that they would have been
unable to attend sessions of the council
if such had been regularly held. Sew
eral have been in France and have not
yet returned. Major George T. Adee,
Dr. James C. Greenway, George B. Case,
Frederick w. Allen and Professor
George H. Nettleton have devoted prac-
tically their entire time to important
war work. Vance Mccormick, chairman
of the graduate committee on football,
is in France.
The executive work of the council has
been left to Professor Robert n. Corwln,
chairman, and to George Parmly Day,
treasurer. Professor Corwin is a mem
Der of the German faculty and Mr., Day
is treasurer Of the University Because
of the suspension of Intercollegiate ath
letcs and the absence from college of
the undergraduate managers and cap
tans, together with the military service
of most of the graduate members. the
current athletic matters have been de-
cided largely by Professor Corwin and
Mr.. Day. 1t is expected that both will
be again chosen to head the committee

Back Tn 1889 D'D3y pitched for the Giants. who won the penu1ut and the worlds championship that season. He was a sturdy uEht handler and took a turn Iu the box with Tim Keefe. Mickey WcIch and Ed Crane. O'Dly a,eo pitched for tho New York Players League team in 1890, also for the Washingtous and other big league outfits.
 As a National League umpire, O.

 Even with the advanced start the ticket sellers and ushers had a hard time handling the crowd So as to get every one in on time. Before play was started every seat in the grand stands and in the bleachers was filled and a portion of the turf was rOped off to admit additional fans" see ing the contests. Even with this ex- tra space there were many who could not get in.
 The fact that so large a crowd came out was the more remarkable in view of the fact that the weather of the morning had not been promis- ing and it was still cloudy when play was started The rain of the morning had not hurt the playing surface any and the turf looked better than al any time during the week. of course the great tarpaulins had been press ed into service.
 In each of the matches the out come was forecast early in the play. Both contests were played in a busi- ness like methodiCal manner, which made them lack a lot of lustre that they otherwise might have had. In neither was there any or lIlaL ull- certainty, which had marked the A1exander-P Patterson, the Johnson Patterson. or the Brookes-Garland tiIts of the early part of the tourna- meut.
 Tildeu started after Williams with a cool and deliberate brand of at- tack which spelled disaster for the Bostoniau from the very start. In the other affair, even after Wallace John son had taken the opening set from Billy Johnston by a one sided score. there was practically none who felt that the Philadelphian had a chance to win. In other meetings Wallace Johnson has been able to take set from Billy Johnston, but his ability always has stopped right with that set Further more.

NO WORLDS
 SERIES PLANS
 FIR TEN DAYS

Chicago, Sept. 2.---Tentative plans for the Worlds series will not be made for possibly ten days or two weeks. when the pennant races are definitely settled, August Hermann, Chairman of the National Baseball Commission, announced last night.
 The meeting of the commission scheduled to be held here today was generally understood to be in connec- ton with the worlds series. but Chair man Hermann said the question of
 drafting players from the minor
 leagues was the only business to be
 considered.
 The action of the minor leaguers in abrogatinE the draft rule agreement IS causing the major Ieaguers some concern Chairman Hermann said.
 The minors broke off relations with the American and National leagues several months ago. deciding that if the major league club owners wanted the star players developed in the mi nor leagues, they would have to pur- chase t'' "ir release outright instead of drafting them.
