Unless some immediate action is taken to arrange more games, there is lite like lihood of the class base-ball championship being settled at all this year. The management of the class-games has been extremely bad, and affairs have now fallen into such a rut that it will be a difficult task to straighten them out again. Games which should have been played or forfeited were postponed with impunity either by the consent of both of the captains or on account of petty wrangles about the umpire. The captains of class teams who were appointed to umpire did not show any zeal or interest whatever in the matter, and, when they could, sent substitutes to fill their places. The enthusiasm of the different teams cooled down considerably as the time wore away, and altogether the general verdict seemed to be one of indolent "laissez-faire." If the championship is to be decided, the captains of the three upper classes must get together at once and arrange a couple of dates before class-day. As the freshmen are too far behind to stand any chance of winning two games-one between '89 and '90, and the winning team to play '88-would be sufficient to decide the championship. The captains should take the matter in hand and determine whether it is now too late to proceed or not.
