A graduate of Harvard, writing in the Boston Herald, says of the base-ball difficulty:
"The idea of playing the first game on neutral grounds strikes one as simply absurd. It has never been done before. There would be little interest taken by the undergraduates in a game played on neutral grounds, and there is no excuse in the world for playing games on neutral grounds except in case of tie.
It is wholly inadvisable to ask students to go away from home to witness a ball contest except in case of tie. Then the interest would be so great that they would be attracted in numbers.
