er of Nevada and ex. officio Insur-
ance Commissioners of the state,

surance company, thereby pro-
hibiting that company from
transacting further business in
the State of Nevada. This will
not annul the policies of the

Game.

Tuesdays baseball game on Wash
burn field between Washburn and the
Kansas State university is attracting
much attention, partly because the
two teams always draw a big crowd,
and partly because of the unusual
method adopted by the Washburn
management to attract attention to
its games. Washburn has supplied
all the Washburn. Topeka high
school and Bethany students with
tickets to the game. About 2,70O
complimentary tickets have been given
out, and the crowd at the game
promises to be enormous.
The general admission to the game
is 25 cents, and the covered grand
stand is reserved for the pay tickets.
All the free passes are to be allowed
the free use of the bIeachers. which
have a seating capacity of 1900
Special street car service is being
arranged for the game and it is ex-
pected that about $500 people will at
tend. Washburn has to pay the uni
versity a small guarantee for the
game, and it is expected that the gate
receipts will about pay the guarantee.
Apparently Washburn and K. u
are in about the same class this sea-
son. Both have been beaten several
times. and the indications are that
Washburn stands a good chance to
win the game. If it wins, it will be its
first victory of the season.
The game is to be called at $3.50
