but two. Bert is well remembered by
Topeka people as the Emporia college
pitcher who used to put it over Wash
bum about every so often He is a
very conscientious twirler-
The Wichita Eagle has this. to say
concerning the trade of MacLear for
Bankhead: When the Oklahoma City
NETS left last night after their series
with Wichita they took with them 'sully''
Mclean who win play with them in
the future. McLear was traded for
Bankhead, the crack second baseman.
McLear was dissatisfied with Wichita
and it is a cinch that the fans were dis
satisfied with him. He is fast at short
that is admitted-but- he was noted
things did not suit him he showed his
displeasurs by walking off the diamond.
The team was in a tight place and the
score was tied in the ninth inning, when
he threw down his glove and walked OFF
the diamond. Yesterday he absolutely
refused to play, for reasons only known
to himself. He evidently wanted to
leave Wichita and got the chance after
the game. A deal was worked whereby
he was to Join the Oklahoma City team
and Bankhead given in exchange. Man
Ager Kimmel stood for his eccentricity
as long as it was bearable and then see
ing a chance to better the team by
securing BSnkhead, cinched the deal as
soon as possible. Bankhead is recogniz-
ed as the fastest second .baseman. in the
lea que. He was also the fastest in the
Missouri Valley league last year and
played with the lola, pennant winners.
He is a faithful worker, a good sticker
and will add strength to the Wichita
team. Bankhead will continue to hold
down the second sack. Just what dis
position will be made of Maryott is not
known, but Manager KimmeI stated
last night that he would not be released.
Johnny Green will hold down shortstop
for the present. Manager Kimnel has
something up his sleeve in the way of
aafast shortstop, and it is expected that
Green will be able to take his old posi-
ton in the right garden within a few
days.
The Wichita Beacon hands this little
chunk to Tom Sheard: Sheard can ac-
count for his present standing from

CHRIST MAS DAY.
Why the Festival lis C~eie brated on
Dec. rs.

Why the Festival rs Celebrated on
Dec. rs.
There are Nc definite illusions in the
writings of any of the disciples OF
Christ as to the date of his birth, nor
any character as to the exact period in
the year when Christ was born. There
are. very true. occasional references to
the event in the Scriptures. Indicating
that the Nativity occurred in the win
ter season.
The institution of the anniversary
dates back to the second century Of
ChriStendom. and it has been since
uniformly celebrated by nearly all
branches of the Christian church with
appropriate rejoicings and ceremonies.
The frequent and somewhat heated
controversies. however, relative to the
date of Christ's birth early in the
fourth century led Pope Julius L. to
order a thorough investigation of the
