ATHLETES MEET THIS AFTERNOON
High school Meets Winfield at the State
Fair Grounds


At noon today the annual field day
exercises of the Wichita High school
begins at the Fair grounds. They
meet the track team from the South
western college at Winfield, which con-
tains several well known athletes. The
team will be met at the Santa Fe depot
at 10:30this morning, and from there
they will be conducted to the Carey
where they will take dinner and then
proceed to the fair grounds via the cleo
trio line in special car.
The games viii begin promptly at
noon, and there will be no time for
any tagging in anything as the Winfield
team win return on the $50 train.
This time of the year comparatively
little interest Is manifested in athletics
but it is an all important item in the
affairs of men and women today. A
good physique Is a perquisite to sue
cess in almost anything and at this
day and age of the world which taking
the average, is SO sadly lacking in
physical strong young men is particu-
larly owing to their diverted attention
toward things Of less worthy nature.
Taking these things into consideration
too much attention cannot be paid to
in the progress of the human family.
At the field day of the High school
last year several events showed very
fine work, especially hundred yard
sprint in ten seconds. This year the
boys will try to see if they cannot only
prove better athletes than they were
last year, but also better than their
opponents whose metal is by no means
to be despised. The boys have spent
considerable money and time to make
this a success, and a large crowd is ex-
pected. About 5000 people witnessed
the games last year and IL IS hoped by
the boys. at least, that the faces of
their friends may be seen in their au-
dience TO encourage their efforts. This
is truly an encouragement. Many
time when in the midst of a football
scrimmags a glimpse of number of
f1uttering handkerehiefs has done for
a team what nothing else could do.
Messrs. Dunlevy, Plaggman and DR..
Emerson of Winfield, will accompany
their team to act as Judges and time
keepers; they will bring their crack
bicyclist Maxwell with them and the
teams will meet in the generous rivalry
which characterizes the contests be
tween the young men of the higher ed
ucational institutions. A sum Of 25c
will be charged for admission, 15c for
children; the proceeds will go to de-
fray the necessary expenses. No one
should miss this crowning event of the
year, AMI d generally good time is ex-
pected. Thc-e are several good ath-
letes among the Wichita boys, and
they ara of necessity the boys whose
value in other things besides athletics
Is self evident

There are none but what have words
Of the highest praise for the fire de-
partment, but the residents OF the West
Side are heaping universal condemna-
ton upon the council who removed the
fire fighting apparatus from the West
Side. The concentra ton Of the entire
force in the center Of the city is con-
demned by the residents Of that portion
Of the city. The loss Of the two extra
barns would have paid all the extra ex-
pense for long time, if extra expense
there would be. Councilman Handiey

ment, their chief, and all the kind
friends who Iabored so heroically to
save their property. 1t was a stub
born fight, but when they got TO work
they made it count.
Before the department arrived con-
siderable work was done keeping the
nearby residences from catching on fire
but when the boys arrived no further
work in this direction was necessary.
There was but little insurance upon
any of the property and the loss will
be about 81 900. Ex-Councilman Hill
said: Had the West Side department
been where they should be, $50 would
cover the loss. This is the general opin-
ion. Hemswordth's barn where the
fire originated, was fully insured, but
the remainder was not and hence was
total loss, but the department is not
TO blame but the council is. We have
the horses, apparatus, the house and
the men, and unless the horses would
eat more over there than in the center
of the city the appreciable extra cost
would be small, and the department,
if they were distributed over the city,
could do better and more effectual work
in putting out fires in their incipiency
than in waiting till they get beyond
control"
