BELTS MUST WAIT
Topeka Contractor Can't Get Money
for RosedaIc Hospital.

State Auditor w. e. Davis has de-
cided that the contractor who built
the hospital for the state university
school at Rosedale must wait for his
money. J. B. Belts the contractor,
presented his voucher in the sum of
S10,143 for collection, but the auditor
refuses to O. K. it on the ground that
the money appropriated for this work
is not available, the time limit for
its use having expired before the work
was done.
The 1909 legislature appropriated
$50 900 for the hospital The apprO-
priation expired in July of this year.
Most of the building was completed
by that time but $4,000 remained to
be spent on the building which was
completed in October. For the work
done after July 1 the auditor refuses
to pay. The regents Will either have
to bring suit in the courts or get the
next legislature to appropriate this
money second time for the purpose.

NO BASEBALL HERE
Athletes Will Not At
tempt National Game.
Football, Basketball and Track
Schools Athletics.

Ira D. Cardiff professor of eligibility
rules for athletic teams at Washburn
| college, announces that the local school
will play no baseball this spring The
abolition of the national sport comes
largely as a result of the league team in
Topeka which renders it impossible for
college team to attract attention at
home.
Washburn teams in the past several
years have depended entirely upon gaze
receipts on the road to defray expenses.
In fact only few games have been
scheduled here in Topeka because the
management knew it would be money
losing proposition.
When the new athletic park was laid
out three years go and the new stands
erected, no provision WAS made for d
baseball Diamond, bleachers being run
along the gridiron sidelines in such a
manner that there was little room at
any angle for q diamond with suf1-
GENTLY large outfield. Those games
which have been played here were play
ed under an arrangement that hits into
the stands would count only for two
sacks.
In place of the diamond, running
track was made around the football
gridiron, d track was made for the
dasheS in front of the north stands,
jumping pits were provided and g9oa
deal of track and field athletic equip
ment was purchased so that the demise
of baseball in favor of track athletlcS
has been long anticipated.
Unless wrestling or some other branch
of athletics is taken up at the college,
the Washburn sports will consist OF
football. basketball, and track. There
is talk of introducing boxing ana Wrest-
ling.
Indirectly the erection of the
Thomas gymnasium spelled the pass
ing of baseball. With the training for
basketball preliminary track work be-
gins in the gymnasium and on the m
door track. Each spring an indoor
track schedule of class meets is held
in an effort to select the best men for
the outdoor work and get them into
form.
There is little for the students to
cry about in the abolition of baseDall
The comparatively early closing OF
western colleges and universities sees
the teams disbanded about the Tune
that fair baseball weather arrives The
early spring weather is too cold for
good baseball and many games are
Cancelled because of wet grounds IN
terfering in large measure with tne
schedules and particularly with the
road trips attempted by the teams.
Unpleasant eligibility questions
arose last spring at the local school in
midseason and caused the disbandlng
of the team. Athletic Director Driver
had given no attention to the training
of the team, beside apparently, in dis
approval of that branch of sport The
students. however, confident that they
had material for a winning team Went
ahead with the organization only TO
have the eligibility committee finish
the job.
