RULES FOR LEITER SERIES

Entries for the Leiter Cup baseball series may be made today and until Saturday at 6 o'clock, in blue books at Leavitt & Peirce's. 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 players will be assigned to teams by the manager.

The series will be conducted in almost 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 per cent of games won will be called the winner of its section. The winning teams of the sections will then play each other for the championship.

The inducement last year offered to keep old teams together, namely competition for the Hale chair, will be extended this spring. In case in 1906 or thereafter the winning team shall have played all its games for the previous three years without forfeiting any game, then the names of all the players for such three years, whether the team won in the first or second years or not, shall be engraved on the plate, and the chair shall be placed permanently as a transmittendum in such University room, or room used by University students, as the winning team shall designate.

The rules for the series follow:

Rule I. Every man attending a course in the University is eligible to play in this series, excepting those men who are eligible for the University, second team, or Freshman squad, but unwilling to play on such squad.

Rule II. No team may have more than three men who received in baseball their class numerals in the Freshman year; their University, College, or second team letters, and of these, not more than one man who has received his University or College letter, except that in case there are more than three such players former members of a team, all such former members may play, but no additional such players.

Rule III. The game shall be called at 3 o'clock on Saturdays, and at 4 o'clock on other days, and a nine not appearing within 15 minutes of the schedule time shall forfeit the game.

Rule IV. The captains of the nines shall choose an umpire, and in case of rain the umpire shall call the game a tie, and each team shall be credited with one-half a game.

Rule V. Two balls, two masks and a chest protector will be provided by the University management for each game. One ball may be obtained by each captain at the office of the Athletic Association in the Union, before noon on the morning of the game. The masks and chest protectors may be obtained from the janitor of the Locker Building, by signing a receipt, and must be returned immediately after the game. In case of default, the captains are expected to keep the balls obtained from the Athletic Office, and use them for their next game.

Rule VI. The games shall be played under the American League rules of this year, and the foul strike rule will be enforced.

Rule VII. The captain of the winning team shall leave the score in the box at the CRIMSON office before 8 o'clock on the evening of the game, with the names of the players of both nines; otherwise the results will not be counted.

Rule VIII. All protests must be left at the office of the Athletic Association within twenty-four hours of the completion of the game in which they arise; otherwise they will not be considered.
