FANS DEMAND SUNDAY BALL

WICHITA, Kan. Dec. 8.--Cspecisl )-Pra-
ucally every man, woman and child IN
Wichita Is involved IN the fight being
made IN this city against Sunday base bail.
The attack on the game has forced every
citizen to the front either 20 fight for OF
against the proposition.
Partisans on both sides OF the movement
have been busily engaged during the last
week and even Frank Isbell said recently
that Il was up to the fans to DO the work,
quit hunting and made a store 20 store
visit, accompanied BY one Of the city com
missi0ners. Communications 10 the news
papers here regarding the Sunday base bail
proposition have come In so fast that one
newspaper has given notice that It viii
print no more Of them.
The antl-sunday base ball adherants
strengthened their case yesterday when a
county Sunday school convention passed
resolution condemning sunday base ball
and calling upon every citizen to fight the
proposition.
The pro-sunday base ball people have
more than offset the work Of their oppo-
nents by getting the assurances OF mem
bers Of the Round Table that Il will not
insist that walks be built through the bail
park. This organisation recently passed a
resolution declaring the bali park was not
wanted IN the south end

Old Officers May
Continue to Rule
Golf Association
Delay by Nominating Committee Has
Tangled Affairs Of the National
Body Into Bad shape.

CHICAGO, Dec. s-The Western Golf
association. which has ever been alert to
detect real or Imaginary imperfeotions in
the parent organization, at last appears TO
have become Involved in a tangle Of It's
own. Failure on the part Of the nominating
committee TO announce IFS selection Of
officers within the prescribed time set
forth IN the constitution has caused the
latest trouble. That section OF the corr
ssitution prsscribing the duties Of the
nornieating Committee reads in part as fol-
lows;
1T shall be the duty Of this committee
70 nominate candidates for Officers and
directors and Tor the nominating committee
for election at the next annual meeting.
The nominations shall be reported 70 the
secretary Of the association not later than
the list OF November IN each year"
The ticket did not reach the secretary's
office until after November l. According
to Charles u, Thompson a former presl-
dent Of the Western Golf association. the
situation may be summed up as follows.
In order TO secure a legal administFa-
ton for next year one OF three things
must Of necessity be done. First, the pres
ent administration must remain Ia offics
until ne annual meeting OF 1915 second.
NE ticket reported BY the nominating com
mittee must be sent out TO the clubs not
a. the regular ticket, but In the manner
prescribed for Independent nominations,
third, or q separate independent ticket
must be Submitted for action at the annual
meeting. This last may be the present
Administration, or a. many independent
tickets, each composed Of four officers and
ave direetors, a. any group Of five clubs
may certify TO- according 70 the terms pre-
scrbed BY the constitution.
Each club member Of che association
has the right 20 cast two votes on all quea-
liens coming before the annual meeting
These votes may be cast either BY dale
gates present IN person on By duly certified
proxy Of, IN the absence OF any delegate OF
proxy, each club has the right 10 cast two
sutes BY q mailed ballot under the seal OF

must be received BY the secretary OF the

though not extravagantly. Their reerea-
ton should be their hobby but now II is
the hardest thing in the world to get, say,
a foot ball team OF young fellows together
cf fair ability and get them to play regu-
larry unless they have their expenses paid.
II spoken to on the matter their answer Is:
1t Is too expensive think that Is wrong.
zone OF the dangers OF the age is that
people in the mass are requiring more 20
be done for them, and the spirit Of indie
pendenee Is decreasing IN that proportion.
It may be said that this is the outcome OF
civilization, as competition is so keen that
people need more help. That Is not a ques-
tion care to discuss. but there is the fact
have mentioned to be considered, and It
Is q matter 70 be regretted. 1t Is a loss OF
an element Of strength In the individual
character.
"In the old days man considered It al
most detrimental to his honor TO be under
an obligation to anybody, but now people
are begging for everything from everybody.
That is simply broad, comprehensive
statement, but do not think there Is any
doubt the pendulum Is swinging away from
the strong, independent, self-reliant spirit.
and that is not good thing.
Il would sum the matter up by saying Il
Is impossible to generalize There are dan
gers and one must meet them as best one
can. 1 would discourage athletics as a pro,
fession, and that Is a different thing from
professionalism. One may take up athlet-

THE work Of the Polytechnic IL certainly
not injured by the athletic side OF the In
stitution. on the contrary, the athletic
side Is the compliment 90 the polytechnic
side, and we should be sorry II less interest
were shown in athletics by those who come
here. It Is impossible to forget that we are
not a one-sided people. Man has his phys.
ical. intellectual, social and spiritual ma
ture, and Il was necessary to develop
around each. Possibly the vast majority
Of people pay too much attention to one
side or the other, and are therefore more
or less lopsided You will find some lop-
sided in athletics, and you can equally
point to thousands Of cases where the
minds are over-stimulated and the bodies
are neglected.
"As 70 whether athletics are an aid to
study. many of the fellows here who have
been athletes from time to time become
students, or, on the other hand, students
may take up with athletics. II would be
the exception, in the same way as It would
be az the university, for a man to be first
rate in both. The man who at the university
obtains his blue and takes honors Is an
exception, because Of the double strain.
Bearing on the athletic question, II a
man gives too much attention 20 his boAy,
that is, from an athletic point OF view,
after a certain time Il Is waste. A proper
indulgence in athletics Is a good thing in
youth, but he must settle what is his busl-
ness in life. take UP athletics as & hobby
and keep them IN their proper place.
my view is that any kind Of game Is
good recreation, but very poor business.
There seems to me to be q marked change
in the attitude Of young fellows toward
sport, and II is becoming increasingly DIFF
fieult to find those who are willing to play
a game for the sake Of playing II and also
TO pay for Il. They want their games for
nothing. and II that spirit spreads It viii
be bad thing, because you viii have the
spirit OF professionalism coming in.

1855 persons bound for the pleasure
cities and resorts of Great Britain and
the continent
The rush Europeward has never been
more general among people of means

on other recent sailing days the pas
senger lists of the liners have been
of unusual length.
Tie summer season in Europe holds
out unusual attractions. The aviation
meets and other big amusements
planned on the other side, as a rule,
have not only the pleasure and educa-
tion of the home people in foreign
countries in view, but the profit TO be
made out of visiting foreigners.
A representative passenger list to-
day is that of the steamer Kaiserin
Auguste Victoria. carrying among
others Mr.. and Mrs c. Oliver Iselin, MI.

HORROR OF HORRORS!
WOMEN WEAR BUGS

LONDON, May 21.-Women have
overcome their natural repugnance to
insects sufficiently to wear imitation
beetles and flies. VIII they proceed a
step further and adopt the real beetle
as an adornment?
Hatpins with heads consisting Of real
beetles are the latest fashion created
for women's hats.
The beetles, which are about an inch
and half long and an inch across.
are ia their natural state, minus their
legs, and some are very beautiful and
might be admired by the most nervous
woman.
The first four to be shown in London
were seen at a well known Regent
street establishment. One of these
light green in color-has the appear
ance Of a perfectly enameled beetle.
One dark green beetle and one which
IS dark copper color tinged with green
show the natural sheen of the insects.
Less pretty, but unique, is the ''rhi-
noceros beetle" hatpin head, which is
larger and brown in color. They are
ali tropical beetles.
The hatpins have been sent from
abroad by naturalist who conceived
the idea OF turning the beetle to use
tul account" said a representative of
the firm.
They viii be somewhat expensive
when first put upon the market. but

mitted 10 the London hospital.
Yesterday afternoon Rushbrook was
found in his ward in the homeopathic
hospital engaged in writing a letter
