For several years previous to last year the baseball management offered a number of cups to be competed for by amateur or "scrub" nines. The amateur championship contests were always lively and exciting, and often resulted in developing men for the class teams. There are many men in the University who are fond of the game, but who do not play well enough to try for the 'varsity or class nines. All such men would be glad to have the old custom revived this year. Last year the management was so apathetic that even the class championship games were not finished, and no attention was paid to the CRIMSON'S many articles on the subject of the usual "scrub" championship. We mention the matter thus early in order that attention may be called to it and enough interest aroused to justify the association in arranging for such a series.
