The students are grateful to Mr. Joseph Leiter, '91, for giving the cups to be competed for annually in the scrub baseball series, and the series is doing much good in interesting so many men in the sport; but it must be remembered that the scrub games were this year given greater prominence than ever before, largely in order to develop men for their class teams, which are, or should be, of more importance. It takes so long to play off the scrub games that it looks at present as though the class games would be made no more of than last year.

In view of the approaching game between the Juniors and Yale Ninety-eight, one would think that this class team at least should be organized at once so as to give the men a chance to practice in the two weeks left to them. In fact, although it has not been done for several years, it seems well worth while for all of the upper class nines to be got together as early as possible, play some practice games with outside teams, and go into the regular class series with enough preparation to make it a fair test of their abilities.
