For this reason the matter must be disposed of w/ithin the next few days if the games are to be a reality again ts year. - Director Bartelme, who is also a member of the board, stated that the meeting would be called for the pur- pose of passing upon the question. No intimation as to how the board ,will act has been given out from any source. CoaceBs .Resot To Checker Bioard YESTERDAY'S GAMES National League Brooklyn at New York; no game.

Before Farrell Bullock; Weather Prohibits Practice Coach Carl Lundgren defended the indoor checker title a.gainst all corners except Steve Farrell and Caretaker Bullock in the Ferry field clubhouse yesterday afternoon. That was the nearest approach to Varsity baseball action that the day afforded. There was no practice. The ground was soft and the wind swept so freak- ishly over the field that the law and engineering 'drill companies were given the freedom of the whole lot by the knights of the diamond. This rest 6ught to ease up a bit on the team's crop of charley horses, caused by working in the raw weather of the last few days. Nothing has yet been lined up in the way of competition for Saturday, but the All-fresh may be taken into camp for a game today, if play is pos- sible. The Varsity still is aching to hook up against the Reserves some .time this week. Guy Reem, who suffered a sprained ankle last week, is out now without crutches and may be in play again by Monday.

Dale Maltby was unable to put his proteges through the regular paces yesterday in preparation for the sec- ond tussle between the freshmen and the Varsity, which battle will occur today if the weather changes for the better. The coach expects to play nearly all the men who appeared against the Vars-ity in the initial game last week with perhiaps one or two changes. Wimbles is back again and will prob- ably be seen cavorting around second base this afternoon. Genebach will start as catcher and with Sterrett will share the honors in the backstop posi- tion. The recently discovered whirl- wind, Bowerman, will be used by the coach to take care of the right field, while Sheldon will cover the center field position. Knode, Froemke, Gil- martin and Van Boven will play their old positions of left field, third base, first base and shor t stop, respectively. Maltby is thinking of again using one of the Varsity men to do the hurl- ing. Ruzicka will probably appear against his teammates agaiei. The question of numerals for the 1920 baseballers will come up for ac- tion before the executive committee of the board in control of athletics, which meets the latter part of this week. Director of Athletics Bartelme could make no definite statement in regard to this matter and said that it was in the power of the committee entirely. PLAY ,SEMI-FINALS IN TENNIS TOURNEY ilarrisoni 1efeats Kelsey in Close Sets , Others Win with Good Margins In the Tennis club tournament the scheduled matches are being cleaned off the slate rapidly, and the series is nearing the final round, the semifin- als coming today. With the exception of the Kelsey- Harrison match the sets were hard played but resulted in one-sided scores, Westbrook, Egbert, and Bartz winning easily. In the battle between Kelsey and Harrison, the former was unable to stave off the attack of his opponent, although playing an ex- cellent defensive game. Harrison's over-head wvork turned the tide in his favor and spelled defeat for' his ad- versary. The results of the matches are as follows: Kelsey and Harrison, 6-3, 9-7; Egbert and Breakey, 6-1, 6-1; Westbrook and Shield, 6-1, 6-0; Bartz and Davidson, 6-2, 6-4.
