GROUND RULES STILL IN THE AIR
Final Decision Continues to Rest with
Umpire to Determine.

NEW YORK. March Slowing TO the
rather indefinite mannerfin which informa-
ton has been forwarded 10 the east in
regard TO the change in the base ball rule
In reference TO the fitness Of the field for
play, it is not wholly certain as to the
exact action OF the rules committee in
Chicago.
From what may be inferred II would
appear that the home captain may rule
that the eroun is NOT in condition for
play after a rain storm. II the visiting
demurs to this judgment, he may
take an appeal to the umpire, and thai
official is then to be the sole judge OF the
fields condition. without regard to any
opinion which may be entertained by the
captain of the home club.
TO some It seems that this is another in
stance OF throwing too much upon the UNI
pire. In the natural desire to be fair TO
both sides, he might lean toward the visit
ing club. and start the teams In a game
upon a diamond which was not all that IL
should be.
Still another feature OF this modification
OF the rule has TO do with the fact of dis
appointing spectators. and producing an
moving and vexatious waits prior TO the be-
ginning OF a game in cities where the
playing ground Is remotely distant from
the center of business

Another Game.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. March Especial
Telegram -kansas won the Missouri val
ley basket ball championship here last night
by taking the second game from Nebraska
by the score OF "a TO 10.
The game was much harder contested
than the score indicated and it was not
until the last five minutes Of play that
Kansas secured a comfortable lead.
Kansas. started the scoring in the first
half with a free throw, but Nebraska fol-
lowed soon with a field goal and remained
In the lead during the remainder of the
half, the score at the end OF this period OF
play standing Z to s In Nebraska's favor.
At the opening of the second half It looked
as though Nebraska was to have every
thing its wi way, for two goals and a
free throw by Walsh gave them a com
Portable lead. However. Johnson finally
secured two baskets and from then on
Kansas had things almost its own way.
Both guards came down and secured two
goals. Walsh secui ed one more goal about
the middle of the half and this ended
Nebraska's scoring. Johnson was the star
for Kansas not only In goal throwing, but
also in dribbling and work all over the
floor. Walsh was the main point maker
for Nebraska, although he allowed Cap
tain Woodland OF Kansas to secure two
goals in the second half.
The same teams play here tomorrow
night, although the outcome OF that game
will make no difference in the champion
ship. Line up;

HORsEMEN BEGIN TO WORK OUT
Making Use of East Omaha Track

The warm weather of the last week has
called the owners of fast horses in Omaha
out of their winter hiding and several have

in East Omaha. Plans are incubating for
some matinees this summer. Although the
automobile is making such giant strides

Ihere are men to whom there Is Just -
good competition in studies as there is In
athletics. A good many men go in to get
a prize for mathematics or some other
branch Of studies just ss a man would try
for a varsity letter in sports. That is their
way Of expressing the competitive spirit
They are just ~ bad as the mel for whom
there IL nothing in college but athletics.
1t IL contended by most persons that the
real object OF q college education is to get
. general development, so that when a
man goes out into the world he may have
not have devoted too much time 10 any one
thing. That doesn't mean that he should
have merely a smattering of all sorts OF
aohievenents, but that he should be a gen
eral all around man. who IL likely to be-
come a capable citizen.
How to accomplish this Is the big prob
lem in educational work right now. An
athlete who Is constantly being talked
about, whose every move IL being watched
with interest by others is likely to get an
exaggerated idea OF his Importance and of
the Importance. moreover, OF sports.
In the colleges in the middle west. where
debating Is very important. the successful
debater may suffer equally from the be-
lief that he is a much greater person than
he really iS. These things, Of course, de-
pend greatly upon the individual, but none
the less each Of them depends upon the
attitude OF the college body. If q man
after four years in college Is either entirely
an athletic or entirely q student, probably
his college work has not been successful.

Exercise Must he Kept Up.

But there is another side 20 the college
athletic game. After four years OF hard
work many a man quits college
athletics and goes directly into business
and plunges into his life career so deep
that he has no time to come up for any
thing but money. He negiecta physical
exercise and for a time feels we'll enough.
But this feeling does not last forever and
he discovers after a time that he has put
his body into the habit OF exercise, a habit
which is no easier to shake than any other.
IL he continues TO negiact that feature OF
his former life he will find a decided 6eter-
~ioration In his physical and mental ca
pacity.
That Is one OF the unfortunate features
OF being compelled TO work for a living
after leaving college. The young man
from Harvard mentioned above didn't
have TO work for a living. but spent most
OF his time riding In the open air, playing
tennls and doing a lot Of easy things to
keep him in condition. He spent maybe
an hour or so in an office, but he really
didn't need to 40 there. and there was no
strain on him mind. He was sure OF three
excellent meals, had plenty OF sleep and
had only as many worries as any animal
with nothing to worry over should have.
There is no good reason why he ever
should have been sick. and II he ever
were there was money enough in the family
TO get the very best doctors with the least
waste Of time. But not every one who
leaves a college is situated IN that way.

boy who enters a university and coming

stayed in this city over night and then
left for Paris. ....-.
One of the arguments made by Cas-
tro's family to induce him not to re-
turn to Venezuela is that it lies in the
power of President Gomez to reduce
the former president to poverty, which
he has no occasion for doing If Castro
resides away from Venezuela. Castro
says he does not fear such highland
ed act
Castro Full Of Confidence.
The former presidents attitude of
mind is described as being that if he
were alone in the forests of Venezuela
he could within a week have a follow
ing, within month an army. and
within three months the mastery of the
state. Castro has unbounded person.
al confidence. and it is recalled that he
began his armed movement for the So
called liberal restoration with sixty
men.
1t Is learned from one of Castros
friends that he has only about $4,000
in Europe and that the stories of i'm
mense sums being sent out to him from
Venezuela are pure fiction. Ex-Presi-
dent Castro arranged for credit of
100000 with the Deutsche Bank in
Berlin. which credit was later supple
mented by drafts on the Bank Of Ven
ezuela for about $4,000 more.
Drafts Stopped by Gomez.
The Gomez government stopped the
drafts upon the national treasury, but
allowed the drafts to be honored from
Castros private deposits. His estates
in Venezuela yield large revenues, but
his agents have not apparently depos-
tied anything to the ex-president's &C
count IN the Caracas banks.
1t is not clear whether President Co.
mez will permit Castro's private in
come to be sent continuously out Of the
country. especially if there is any sus-
picion that this money will be used to
finance a revolution.
Gen. Castro's life in Germany has
been very expensive. Besides the fee
of S4,5OO which he gave to Prof Israel
and the clynic expenses of $3.50, Cas-
tro's hotel expenses for his party dur
ing the first three weeks were $500
daily. Later these were cut down to
when the party reached Dresden.
