Because of the lack of candidates for the club baseball teams, it has been decided to revive the Leiter Cup Series in which men will organize among themselves and enter as teams. Each team is to consist of 12 men from the three upper classes, including a captain and a manager, and will choose some fictitious name under which it will be enrolled. At the end of the tournament a second University nine will be formed from the best material found among the Leiter Cup teams and will play a regular schedule during the month of May.
Under the rules of the series, no team may include more than five men who have received baseball insignia, or who have been hitherto on the second squad. The games will be played on Soldiers Field every afternoon at 4 o'clock, in a round-robin series. Each member of the winning team will receive a silver cup.
Fifteen Teams Competed in 1916.
This is the first time the series has been held since 1916 when fifteen teams competed. All men who wish to enter the series should form their teams immediately, and enroll in the blue-book at Leavitt & Peirce's before 6 o'clock Friday. A schedule will be posted as soon as possible, and the first game will probably be played on Monday, April 14.

King '21, who has been playing first base on team A, sprained his ankle early in the contest, and will consequently be kept out of tomorrow's game with Bowdoin.
