BASEBALL FOR SCHOLARS.

John Harvard and Eli Yale might well sit up in their graves and take notice of the baseball battle that their learned sons wage today in New Haven. What could be more appropriate for this endeavor at brainy baseball than Friday, the thirteenth? The game may indicate how compulsory athletics will develop baseball players from the scholarly students. Perhaps the brains of a modern Aristotle may develop a new, elusive spit ball curve; perhaps a Phi Beta Kappa athlete may invent a method for getting home run hits every time at bat Who knows?

A prophecy of the score is impossible, but the choice of a victor is easy. Again we are sorry for our friends, the enemy--Yale.
