The Princeton University faculty has 

 taken another step making baseball playing 

 more difficult this season at Old Nassau 

 than in any previous year. The new regu- 

 lation, which makes all the trouble, requires 

 that every man who plays baseball must 

 pass off all his conditions on the first trial. 

 If he fails in this he is to be allowed no 

 later opportunity to remove the condition, 

 and will be requested to stop training. 



The schedule for the championship games 

 is about perfected. Yale will play Harvard 

 on June 22d, Harvard's class day, and the 

 return game will be played at New Haven 

 on Yale's class day, June 27. If the teams 

 each win a game, the tie is to be played 

 off in New York on July 1. Princeton plays 

 Yale in New Haven on June 3d, in Prince- 

 ton on June 10th, and if a tie results, in 

 New York on June 17th. Yale is to play 

 2 games with Brown this season, one in 

 New York on April 29th, and the other in 

 Providence on May 13th. Yale plays the 

 University of Chicago at Yale Field, New 

 Haven, on Memorial Day. 



Baseball interests at Lehigh are boom- 

 ing. The team will play a large number of 

 games this year, and opened the season 

 with a game with Rutgers, at Bethlehem, 

 on March 25th. Georgetown was played at 

 Washington on March 29th, and the Uni- 

 versity of Virginia, at Charlottesville, on 

 March 30th. 



Manager Reddig has spared no efforts 

 to secure a game with Yale. This game 

 will probably be played at Bethlehem. 

 Two games will also probably be played 

 with Pennsylvania, 3 with Lafayette and 2 

 with Cornell. 



Coach Jennings has accomplished won- 

 ders with the Cornell team. This 9 left on 

 its Southern trip on March 24th, the Coach 

 accompanying. Captain Murtaugh has 

 high hopes for his men, and if work counts 

 for anything the team should be a winner. 



Baseball practice began at Princeton 

 February 20th, and an unusually large num- 

 ber of freshmen appeared at the call. Great 

 attention was paid to these men by Captain 

 Kafer, and Coach Clark, of the Baltimore 

 team. As a result Princeton has a large 

 number of men who are sure to prove of 

 great value to the team. Princeton should 



render a good account of herself this sea- 

 son. 



E. Lewis, of the Boston league team, has 

 had charge of Harvard's battery, the can- 

 didates for which were put to work Feb- 

 ruary 13th. A large number of freshmen, 

 whom Captain Haughton thought had the 

 making of 'varsity men in them, were put 

 to work under the direction of members of 

 last year's 9, and like Princeton, Harvard 

 has a large number of new men to draw 

 on. Yale and Harvard seem to be pretty 

 evenly matched on the diamond, though 

 Yale is suffering from a lack of pitchers. 



Captain Pell and Coach Cotter are well 

 pleased with the outlook for the Columbia 

 team. The candidates who answered the 

 call for the 'varsity numbered 35 men. The 

 team is strong in pitchers. It has Wessells, 

 Marcus, Sarle and Johnson who have been 

 coached by Leo Fischel, of the '98 team. 

 It is undecided as yet who is to be the reg- 

 ular catcher, but Coach Cotter expects to 

 find his man in either Bell, Carr, Rogers, 

 Parsons, Krickl or Turnbull. The infield 

 and outfield are strong, though that vic- 

 tories are expected from heavy batting can 

 be seen from the fact that special attention 

 has been given to stick work, and base run- 

 ning. Columbia should do much better 

 than last season, and any team which comes 

 to New York this year, looking for a vic- 

 tory, will have to work for it. 



Harvard meets Yale on the Yale Field, at 

 New Haven, on May 13th. Trainer Cope- 

 land and Captain Fisher, of Yale, are mak- 

 ing desperate attempts to get their men in 

 shape. At present it looks as if Harvard 

 had the best chance of winning the Yale- 

 Harvard cup, which will go to her for all 

 time if this year brings a victory to the 

 crimson. 



The University of Vermont baseball team 

 will play games on its New York trip with 

 Union, Syracuse, Hobart, University of 

 Penn., Villanova, Seton Hall. Fordham, 

 Manhattan and University of New York. 

 On New England trip, with Williams. Am- 

 herst, Trinity, Wesleyan, Tufts, Boston 

 University and Holy Cross.
