OKLAHOMA WANTS YOUNG.
Would Have Him Coach University
Team Early in Spring.

Wichita, Jan. 26.-The Eagle says:
Cy Young, whom Wichita fans .aresex
pecting to help land next years pen
nant, writes Manager Holland asking
his permission to act as coach of the
Oklahoma University baseball team
until the WeStern association season
opens. The big fellow states that be-
sides being able to pick UP a nice little
sum of extra money he will also have
great chance for conditioning himself
while working with the college boys.
Manager Holland, however, seemed
a little reluctant to state whether the
request will be granted or not, for
every pitcher will come in pretty
handy in the exhibition games before
the season begins.
Most of the fans remember Young's
exhibition last spring during the ante
season games, when he defeated Wich-
tia with Willett pitching in an eighteen
cal management began to make ad-
vances toward securing him. During
last season Pittsburg disposed of him
to the Sprin gheld Western association
team and they in turn sold him to
Wichita for a cash consideration o.
$500.
Young had a brief tryout last spring
with the St. Louis cardinals, but was
a little inexperienced for a big league.
This season, however, ought to put the
necessary polish on his work and there
is little doubt but that if he gets a
chance to go up next fall he will make
good.

BradStreetS says:
While weather conditions are still a
bar to widespread activity in trade
and industry, evidences of improve
ment in spring demand and charging
shipments are a feature of the week.
Additional favorable items are an ex-
pansion in the grain markets, long
stagnant, based apparently on better
export inquiry; rather more cheerful
adviees from South Atlantic states
heretofore reporting trade and collec-
tions backward; a decided easing of
time money rates with resumption
of demand for commercial paper and
good reports from the winter wheat
crop.
In the northwest, heavy SHOWS have
checked the wheat movement and
coal trains still have the right of way
fetal to western coal trade, but check
ing sales and collections. particularly
in the Dakotas. In the Ohio valley
rains and floods have retarded de-
mand and transportation and caused
heavy damage, but the failure of the
expected freeze to follow the floods is
a good point for winter wheat Col
lections are irregular. In the south
west trade is good and the outlook
for spring is excellent.
Grain markets display more life
than for five months past and prices
for all cereals are enhanced.
Wheat -four has followed wheat and
is held higher, but it dull because buy
ers and sellers are apart The market
for textiles is still strong as a whole.

Harpe teams, both of which are town
teams and have a tinge of profession
alism about their playing Williams
and Haughey played with La Harpe
and Donald and Drummer of Kansas
played with Chanute. Donald and
Drummer admit that they were paid for
their services, but as they are not
eligible for the K. U. team next year
does not count much against K. u,
but the Kansas authorities claim that
Williams and Haughey were paid. a
week later on New Years. Williams
and Haughey played with Chanute
against the Chilocco Indians and K.
U. claims to have sufficient evidence of
professionalism to keep these two
Washburn men out of the game. How
ever, Washburn men are not much
alarmed about the chances of losing
these two men as they are positive that
the two players received no remunera-
ton.
Williams and Haughey both deny
that they were paid and brand the
rumor which has been floating around
as mere fabrication, devised by X
U. to cause trouble at Washburn. A
year ago Captain Donald of the Kan
sas team played at Chanute and was
allowed to play, as no evidence or pro-
fessionalism could be produced against
him Pooler was also involved In
some difficulties with professional
teams but was allowed to play 1t IS
the general opinion that Kansas is just
irving to stir up trouble and that when
the time comes they will have no way
of keeping these two Washburn stars
out of the game.

TOPEKA NEAR TO WINNING.
Basketball Team at Kansas City Came
Up Strong at Last.


Kansas City, Jan. 26.-The Kansas
CITY interscholastic basket ball season
was opened last night and the Central
high school basket ball team narrowly
escaped defeat at the hands of the To-
peka high school five in Convention
hall. The score of the game was % to
10 in favor of the Blue and White men.
The contest as a whole was not part1c-
ularly interesting, but near the END OF
the game when the Central players
seemed to stop trying and the Topeka
team suddenly took a squirt and started
to score the excitement was great ana
every good play was wildly cheereo.
The Blue and White team started in to
gallop away with the contest ana the
first half ended with the score 16 to 4
in favor of Central. The four points
scored by Topeka came as result OF
as many free throws, two made by
Coblentz and two by Ringenberg. There
was no team work shown by either five
and the Central men persisted in at
tempting long shots at the basket
The Topeka team in the first half
could not get the ball away from their
opponents and had very few shots at
the ring until the game was nearly
over.
1t was Ringenberg's free throws that
made the score so close. He captured
eleven baskets out VI lNCAlJ -OAAC SAASNA7'
Shafer and G. Goldman made the free
throws for Central but neither had
anv luck. The Central team got nine
field goals, seven of which were cred
tied to G. Goldman. Four field goals,
all of which came in the last half, were
made by Topeka
The Central men seemed to have
worn themselves out at the first of the
game, for they did not finish running
in any kind of form. The Topeka men
were having things their own way when
the whistle blew and a few more min
utes of play would probably have
changed the result of the contest. The

ton hall tonight. The score:

Kelly Makes Plans for Attending the
E,XDOSifiOn

Exposition.
Seattle, Wash. Jan. 26.-Dan Kelly,
worlds champion amateur 100-yard
Splinter. will participate in the ath-
letic events at the jamestown exposi-
ton this year, but, unless the plans for
an all-northwest team materialize, he
will run under the colors of the Uni
versity of Oregon instead of the Multi
nomah Athletic club of Portland.
Kelly was developed at the Univer-
sity OF Oregon. but when he made his
record of :09 3-55 last summer at Spo-
kane, he ran as a. member of Mu1tno-
NAH. Recently. it was given out that
Kelly would run at jam estown for
Multnomah. Uhder the new rule Of
the Amateur Athletic union he cannot
represent an athletic club and a col
1ege within the same year. The mo-
ment this point was brought up Kelly
declared that he had not given the
jamestown proposition consideration
and that he should run next spring for
Oregon. -
If the plans for the all-northwest
team go through Kelly will be a mem
Der and it is not thought that the A.
A. U. will object to his representing his
college in the Pacific northwest and
the entire section at jamestown.

FOR AN AUTO ROAD.
National Highway Corporation Plan
ned Between CHICAGO and New York.


Chicago, Jan. ga national high
way corporation, organized for the
purpose of building a highway be-
tween Chicago and New York over
which motorists can drive at all times
of the year, together with feeding"
roads of various sections of the coun-
try, is being planned and carried into
execution by DIR. Gardiner S. Chaplin
and H. Sargent Michaels, who recently
completed a long trip from Chicago to
New York for the purpose of survey
ing the roads and getting data on
which to build this national highway.
At a meeting held yesterday in Chi
cago the preliminary steps were taken
for the organization of the corporation
which, it is expected. will give motor
lists a fine road between these cities
and to many contiguous parts of the
country. Details have not been worked
out yet, but it is probable the corpor-
aticn's charter will be obtained either
in New Jersey or Virginia.
