Union Expelled from N. Y. I. B. B. A.

At the meeting of the New York Intercollegiate Baseball Association, last Friday, Union College was expelled on the ground of "professionalism," in defiance of Article III, Section 1, of the Constitution, which provides for an investigation in such cases and expulsion only after the second proof of professionalism. A Colgate student had charged Union with attempting to hire him to come to the latter college. Although Manager Allen of the Union baseball team denied it completely, the expulsion was unanimous.

President Raymond, the Faculty, alumni, and undergraduates were all indignant at the charges, which they attribute to jealousy on the part of the other colleges, because Union has won the pennant three years in succession. At a college meeting it was voted to demand either an apology or an investigation, and to withdraw from all athletic intercourse with the other colleges in the association.
