The true inwardness of Yale's position in the base-ball question is beginning to be understood at New Haven, for the determination of Princeton and Harvard to leave her to contest with the smaller colleges, if she does not see fit to join them, has begun to work consequences of no little moment. It is reported that some members of the nine are about to give up practice if they are to be compelled to play with inferior nines. Although the college has voted once for all not to join the triangular league, still another meeting will probably be called in a day or two and perhaps the former vote will be reconsidered. There seems to be no doubt that if Columbia is admitted, Yale will only be too happy, by entering the new league, to get out of the isolated position in which she has, been for some time. In regard to Columbia, Yale thinks that college will prevent the unholy combination which Yale expected would rule things with a high hand in a triangular league.
The Yale News says editorially:
"By defining more precisely the powers of the base-ball management in the special meeting, Wednesday, the university has placed itself on a more dignified footing, and has opened an avenue for a settlement of this vexed question. In granting these enlarged powers it must not be for a moment supposed that the personal responsibility of the management is a whit lessened, and that they will pass decision on important questions with less regard for the interest and expressed desire of a majority of those they represent. The various schemes have been discussed in all their bearings, and if the issue be unfortunate we can at least escape the charge of having given the subject hasty and immature thought. As in every disputed question, there is a preference and somewhere a decided advantage. Of course this implies also the presence of a disadvantage. To counterbalance one against the other, and to strike the juste milieu, will be the aim of the different managements, and we anticipate that the upshot of the whole matter will be satisfactory to all concerned."
