The attention of the base-ball management should be called to the base-ball games which daily take place on Holmes and Jarvis Fields between various "amateur mucker" nines. Every afternoon a game is started on Jarvis, and as a means of encouragement, each nine is supported by a considerable number of friends. By running and tearing around the field as they do, the diamond is cut up in such a manner as to make the ground too rough and irregular for any other nines but ones like theirs to enjoy a game. It is an exceedingly disagreeable and difficult task to get the little "muckers" off the field after they once engage in an exciting game of ball, and numerous are the epithets launched against the lawful aggressors.

We are glad to perceive that the rumors concerning Yale's forced withdrawal from the base-ball league next year are false; the interest in the league would decidedly languish if our ancient rival were forced to withdraw from it. But a word on celebrations in general may not be altogether out of place at this moment. It was made apparent by the freshman celebration on Monday night that celebrations can be made enjoyable without being obnoxious. This being so, why skulk about the yard till twelve o'clock, to build a bon-fire out of two soap boxes and an old hat? Does it signify exuberant joy? Is there any particular pleasure in setting off surreptitious fire-crackers at long intervals during the night, or pelting an instructor's panes with torpedoes? Is a tin horn an unvarying accompaniment to extreme gratification? The truth is that all these puerilities gain their only attraction when under prohibition. There is some exhilaration in being chased from an inceptive conflagration by an officious proctor; but there is nothing so mournful as to split one's lungs in starting a blaze which no one cares to prevent, in setting off cannon-crackers alone and unobserved, or in blowing long and loudly on a tin horn merely for one's own recreation. We would remind the Yale faculty as well as our own august body, (whose action on this subject has been perfectly rational, except that they attribute too great significance to these occasional outbursts,) that interference in such cases is seldom wise, whether on the part of faculty or students, and that "prohibition seldom prohibits."
