CONFERENCE DIAMOND \LEAGUE FACING TEST CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., March ‘27. —Base ball and track schedules opened this week in most of the Southern Con- ference colleges within the South Atlan- | tic_section. This is to be a critical seascn for the seven members of the Tri-State League, | formed by members of the Southern | Conference in North Carolina, Virginia |and Maryland. The future of the league depends largely upon what happens in lflgg. It may go to pieces. There is a chance, though only a slight one, that it may be much stronger when the sea- | son ends. The league was organized to stimulate | more interest in college base ball. In | its first two years it hasn’t done a great | deal along this line. Virginia won the first title and North Carolina the second, but the crowds at most of the contests | did not seem to be a great deal larger | than before. | If interest picks up this vear, league stock may boom—otherwise the enthu- siasm for the organization may wane away. | The schedule of the Tri-State League | follows: | _April 2-Washington and Lee at Nortr Carolina State | ~April 3—Washington and Lee at North | Carolina, :1:"‘ 5—Virginia Military Institute at Vir- |® | " April 7—Maryland at North Carolina State. ‘April 8_Maryiand at North Carolina.

They were all square at the four- teenth, and at the fifteenth MacKen- zie's second shot trickled over the left side of the green, leaving him a_very hard pitch shot bLk to the pin. Livie, meanwhile, had placed his second shot in a favorable position at the right side of the green. MacKenzie chipped up stone dead and holed for a 4, while Livie took three more shots to get down, and the MacKenzie-Chasmar combi- nation was 1 up. At the sixteenth MacKenzie knocked his tee shot over the n and Chas- mar half-topped his ball, which ran through the ditch and stopped just above the water.
