TRACK PROSPECT DARK
Kansas Likely to Make Poor Showing
This Year.

Lawrence, Kan, Feb. 11.-Track
prospects at Kansas university are not
very bright. The one thing that
Coach Hamilton has in plenty is dis
sufficient to win a meet with, and it
is apparently up to the coach to de-
velop a few phenomS before the first
meet. Hamilton has five distance
men, Captain Patterson, Edwards,
Vermilion, MalcOmSon, and Sprier,
any one of whom is fully capable of
holding his own with the best men in
the Missouri valley. For the half he
has Captain Patterson, r. G. Davis, E.
Davis and Gribble, all of whom are
capable of doing better than 2.05
when in condition.
Hurst, who has been doing most of
the pole vaulting, and is good for
about II fit. inches, is out of it at
present and will not be able to get in
the first meet, although Hamilton
hopes to have him in shape for the
meet with Missouri in March. Thomp-
son and Maloy will have to be de-
pended upon to do the vaulting and
although they are fairly good, neither
of them has as yet beaten IL TT. In
practice and it will take that height
or better to win from the K. Z. A e.
stars.
Hazen will be depended on to do
the high jumping, with AmmonS as
sisting him. Hazen is good for about
feet, which should be good enough
to beat any one in the valley except
Nicholson.
With Burnham putting the shot
over 40 feet and Weidlein and Cole
man close behind him, the weight
men look better than they have done
for several years past, but even with
that it will be hard to get a place
against such stars as Talbot and Bow
ers. Talbot has put the shot 4S IT.,
II inches in exhibition and Bowers
is good for AZ TT. every time so the
Kansas weight men will not have a
look in against them.
Perry and Hazen will take care OF
the hurdles without much trouble
although it is likely that both of them
will be defeated when they run up
against the Missouri stars, who are
the best in the west.
The sprints have been giving Coach
Hamilton more trouble than any 9TH
er event however. Captain Green
lees of the basketball team with
Schwab, Hilton and Walker will have
to take care of them. None of these
men are in the same class with Da-
Wis or Stuckey who had such hard
time defeating the speedy Missourians.
and it is expected that Kansas Will
have to make M the points she loses
here in some other event. Greenlees,
however, looks good for the indoor
work. although he can not last for
more than hundred yards out of
doors He is a very fast starter, and
has done the so in 3-5 which is
fast enough to win from almost any
man. Schwab is a slow starter. but
is speedy enough when he gets start
ed. He is probably the hest 220 man
in school. winning his 'f<'' two years
ago against Missouri in this event.

SUBLETTE IS UNEASY.
Three Cornered Fight Grows Hotter
as Election Day, Approaches.

Sublette, Kan, Feb. 11.-As F'ebru-
airy 25, the date for the special cleo
ton to determine the three cornered
Haskell countyseat fight, draws near
interest centers in the maneuvers of
the three towns.
Prairie Dog" Steve Cave, former
representative, mayor and leader OF
the forces here is alarmed for the
first time since the latest move of the
Satanic and Santa Fe factions. Pin
ming their faith to the hope the
Wichita Falls and Northern extension
from Forgan, Okla, to Denver will go
through Santa Fe the Satanic faction
has promised to support Santa F'e,
the present county seat at the cleo
ton. 1t is now an @esta blished fact
this road will be extended soon and
that it will go through this imme-
diate section.
The route now held in greatest IA
vor by the officials goes through this
place and Santa F'e,s giving the latter
place its first road! bSanta F'e is the
center of the county and with one
road would be a more logical county
seat than this place with the two 1t
would then have. This fact and the
combination of the two opposing
forces may overcome Sub1ette's lead
and the leaders here are worried.

although he has as much or more

QUARANTINE STOPS WEDDING.
Romance eliminates in Two Post.
pOnementS of Ceremony.


pOnementS of Ceremony.
Hutchinson, Kan, Feb. 11.-Another
illustration of the roughness of the
pathway of true love has developed
in the case of a West side romance.
For some time a young couple have
made plans for their marriage leav-
ing the settlement of the wedding date
contingent upon the completion of a
home which they were erecting
For a time all went well and the
curtains, rugs and draperies were about
ready for the home and the date was
set only to have a spell of bad wealth
.er come and delay the completion of
the home and cause the postponement
of the wedding.
At last, however, all plans worked
in unison and the wedding date was
set for Sunday. The bridal outfit was
ready, the bridesmaids gown compile
ted and the wedding hour set for noon,
but in the meantime the bride was
taken sick and today was placed under
quarantine for diphtheria.
Miss Katie Smith, bride of the ro-
nance who was to be married Sunday
to Henry Dairy, is not seriously i'll but
the quarantine has effectively post
poned the wedding.

AMERICAN LEAGUE SCHEDULE
Baseball Men Meet and Talk Over
1913 Dates.

New York, Feb. 1.-THE American
League formally adopted without
change, at it's meeting, the schedule
of games for 1913, already agreed
upon.s The National League will meet
today and probably will take similar
action. The national commission
also will meet today, probably before
the league meeting.
The American League was one of
the three baseball organizations which
met here today, the other two being
the International League and the
Eastern Association, until recently
known as the Connecticut League.
Beyond the ratification of the
schedule, little was done by the
American League.
The American League season will
open April 10, with the worlds cham
pion Boston team crossing bats at
home with Philadelphia. Washing
ton, the runner-up to the pennant
winners of last year, begins the sea-
son in the national capital with the
New York team. Cleveland at home
the opening day, will have Chicago as
an opponent and st. Louis will meet
Detroit on the formers grounds. The
schedule calls for 154 games.
Frank Chance. the new manager of
the local American League team,
reached here from the Pacific coast
a few minutes after the league meet
ing ended and was accorded a hearty
greeting.
One of the first to shake his hand
was Manager McGraw of the New
York Nationals, who said Il con-
graduate you on getting into a good
town.. Jake Stahl and Clarke Grif-
fifth followed suit. As soon as Chance
could catch his breath he said:
Il am glad to come to New York
and doubly glad I am with the Ameri-
can League. 1 like Bermuda for a
training place and there will be no
trading of players until the team gets
back from there. 1 intend playing
first base myself and hope to be in
the opening game. 1 feel in fine
shape and my head does not bother
me. 1 am positive I can manage the
team better as player than from
the bench"

clubs here is believed by local sport
ing authorities to be the first time in
prize ring history that such bout has
been staged.
Billy job, widely known as a re-
fierce will act as arbiter when his eld-
est son, Bill, jr., makes his first ap-
pearance in the ring with some local
boxer. Young job had adopted the
name of fighting Joe Hooker" the
name of a noted civil war soldier un-
der whom his grandfather fought.
His father is opposed to the boy
setting out for a ring career, but he is
interested in seeing him have a tryout
1t is said that several young boxers
have agreed to engage with him.

MuNiTioN RETURNED TO MAKERS

New Orleans, La, Sept 3.-After
having been the direct cause of several
law suits and number of thrilling ex-
perience, 2,16S boxes of ammunition
and 1856 cases of rifles have been re-
turned to a Northern arms factory.
The arms were intended originally, it
is believed, for the ill-starred revolt
of Felix Diaz at Vera Cruz. Keen eyed
men, kept here by the Department Of
Justice, stopped the shipment. Several
Mexicans were arrested and tried, but
acquitted. A large hardware firm also
was called upon to answer for an alleg-
ed attempt to break the neutrality
laws but no infraction of the law was
shown. Since then there have been
several changes in the ownership Of
the property, but all efforts to get the
munition out of the country have fail
ed. The last owner, anEnglishman
from Mexico City, who bought thu
arms and ammunition for speculative
purposes found the arms company II
self the best purchaser he could find.
