Entries for this year's Leiter Cup baseball series may be made from today until next Wednesday at 6 o'clock in blue books at Leavitt & Peirce's. The first game will be played next Friday, May 11. The full name of the team, the name of the captain, and the names of at least twelve bona fide players must be given. No man may play on more than one team in the season. Individual entrants will be assigned to teams by the management.

In addition to the scrub teams which competed last year dormitory teams are especially urged to enter. They will be grouped in separate sections, but will take part in the final series on an equal basis with the scrub teams.

Otherwise the series will be conducted in practically the same manner as last year. The teams will be grouped in sections, each team will play every other team in its section, and the team in each section which obtains the highest percent of games won will be considered the winner of its section. The winning teams of the sections will then play for the championship. The National League rules of this year will be used.

As an inducement to keep old teams together competition for the Hale chair, which was offered in 1904, will be continued this spring.

The conditions under which the chair was given by R. S. Hale '91, stipulate that the names of the winning team shall be engraved on the attached plate. From now on in case the winning team has played all its games for the three previous years without forfeiting a game, the names of all the players whether the team won in the first or second year or not shall be engraved on the plate. The chair, which has been won for the past two years by the Indians, is now in the Lobby of the Union.
