For many years, the baseball club owners have been trying to do away with the ‘two-bit” admission to the bleachers. Fach year the number of 25-cent seats has been cut down until at Ebbets Field the number has been reduced to a minimum. In cities like Philadelphia, St. Louis, and Cincin- nati, where the greatest number of bleacher admissions have been re- tained, the club owners have found it a difficult task to cut down the allot- ment. Al 25-cent admission to a base- ball game is a time-honored institu- tion, and with the war tax boosting it up to 30 cents there are sure to be violent protests from the fans who have limited their investment to 23 cents per game for many years. The way for the elimination of the 25-cent charge having been opened, it is. not likely that it will ever come | back, even after the termination of | the war.

The ad- committee on _athletics, of { which Prof. Robert N. Corwin is | ehairman, has altered its previous at- titude on competition in sports with | other colleges and now looks with | favor on a regular schedule of games with the Blue's former opponents. Many conferences have been held between the advisory committee and the student council of the college the past few days relative to the advis- ability of attempting to resume nor- mai competition in varsity baseball, crew and track. :ball’s position was made clear Manager Charles J. Stewart of Dallas, Te instructed yester- day to arrange a schedule of games as in past years. KEven an Kaster trip is to be taken by the team. The question of a Harvard series will be settled soon, and in all prob- ability will be a surety if the Crim- son authorities see the way clear to the resuinption of former contests. A survey of material for throughout the university discloses who has won the baseball. coveted “Y"” in Only One Veteran for Ball Team. Norman C. Lyman of New Pres- ton, Conn., the only man in col- lege who has played a regular on the Yale team and would have won his letter in the sport last year if the baseball team had not been dis- banded on its Easter trip. He is the logical candidate for the captaincy. Lyman is a wonderful ball player. ! Last season occasioned the shifting of Capt. Harry Le Gore from short to third in order that the former might use his ground covering abil- to full advantage. Though the pospects for a stan- dard Yale team are none too bright a fairly strong nine can be gathered, one that will give battle to the best college aggregations which enter the field this spring. James Carter, the old Blue is mentioned as probable coach. appointment to the position is ex- pected in a few days. Walter Mace has already been secured as t ner. All of the candidates will be called out for practice directly after the mid-yvear exami ions.
