When the first conference between the Harvard and Yale delegates adjourned without accomplishing its object, we looked forward confidently to another meeting at which baseball games between the two universities would be arranged. We are glad to announce today that two games at least are assured. As matters now stand, however, no provision has been made in the case of a tie. There is the same state of affairs in which we found ourselves last year. That this is unsatisfactory, Yale men as well as Harvard men will readily admit. We cannot believe that Yale's sportsmanlike spirit, or her sense of fitness, will let things remain as they are. A little reason and a little expression of public opinion, will, we believe, bring her to see the instability of her grounds. Harvard has clearly demonstrated her wish to arrange for a possible third game. She offered, at the conference, several reasonable plans which Yale saw fit to reject. The only ground whatever on which Yale would conclude arrangements, was the same as that taken last year. She insisted that the first two games should be arranged as they are now and that the third and deciding game should be played on neutral grounds in the latter part of May or June, - that is, Yale demanded that the tie game should be played first, before one could tell whether or not such a game was even necessary.

In past years, we believe the custom has been to play the tie game on the Saturday after the boat race. To be sure this is inconvenient; both nines have to keep in training much longer than is desirable, yet there is no more injustice done to one university than to the other. This arrangement is certainly more reasonable and fairer to both teams that Yale's method of playing the third and deciding game first. In fact, we are surprised that in face of the unfavorable criticism this plan met with from all sides last spring, Yale could think seriously of proposing it again. We trust she is sincere in her desire to play us; and yet it does not seem to us that her propositions were as liberal as they might have been. We hope that upon more mature consideration, the spirit which has previously characterized Yale and won her the respect of all, will exert a stronger influence and eventually demand that the right be done. We believe that this is what will happen, and that the much vexed question will come to a satisfactory conclusion.
