Class Base Ball Championship.

The schedule of games for the class championship at Harvard has been arranged as follows: Seniors vs. juniors, May 5, 10 and 12; sophomores vs. freshmen, May 6, 9 and 16. Winners of these series will play the deciding games on May 18, 20 and 24.

The umpires will be hired by the 'varsity management, and will be the same professional umpires employed now by the 'varsity nine. Bond and Walbridge will probably fill the positions.
