To remove the slight misunderstanding under which the Yale papers seem to be laboring, we will state briefly the present condition of affairs in regard to the arrangements for the next Yale-Harvard base-ball match. The first game will be played in New Haven, the second in Cambridge, and the third in Springfield. The misunderstanding which caused the Record to speak of us in terms more forcible than polite resulted from the fact that the two Nines in fixing the time for the match found difficulty in finding three days which would be equally convenient for both sides, and also from the fact that our Nine suggested at first that the third game might be played in Saratoga. Yale declined the proposition in regard to Saratoga, and our Nine immediately dropped the matter. Springfield is agreed upon as the place for the third game, if a third game is found necessary. Delegates from the two Nines will meet to-morrow at Springfield to settle upon the day on which each game shall be played, and, for the sake of peace, we sincerely hope that their decisions will be satisfactory to the Record.
