sir, that you are business corpse!"
Mr.. Peck gasped. All his life he

down on his desk. ''By God, we'll

Mr.. Peck sputtered. Words he
could not utter.
Morgan's anger had risen to reck-
less defiance. "Why don't you sell
your stock to me?" he tainted. "rll

you what a live business is"
"Sell it to you! You haven't got
a dollar to pay for it with"
''Ill give you note; if there's

Mr.. Peck's dark look turned to
snarling, cunning grin. Its yours!

bring in some capital and some
brains, and you might succeed. Run

the Morgan had decided it
should be ninety horse-power-had
to be made entirely new, and like
wise all the parts of the driving gear.
There was work a-plenty for the half
dozen most skillful men he had Sc

to be made with infinite care, tested
with infinite care, and fitted to it's
place with the infinite care of a sur
geon working in the brain. For all
the heartache in him, Morgan enjoy

It was a long untasted pleasure to
work in freedom of the domineering
methods of Mr.. Peck-though that
gentleman continued coming to the
factory daily. Morgan's JOY was the
creative JOY of the artist. The car
on which he labored every day and

WON'T FIGHT FOR COBB.
Baseball Players Fraternity Will Act
Only as Mediator.

New York, April 23.-The baseball
players fraternity will take no action
in the controversy between Ty Cobb
and the Detroit club unless requested
to do so by the parties, and then only
as mediatOrs.
David L. Fultz, president OF the ira
ternity, asserted that he regarded the
matter as purely business transac-
ton between Cobb and Navin, and
that it was silly to attack the fraternl-
ty for not settling it.
1--WE have pledged the organization
to have every reasonable object of the
players contract lived up to by both
contracting parties" reads Mr. F'ultz
statement, land we shall do all within
our power to see that contract with
the player is not violated But en-
forcing a contract after made is a
very different matter from attempting
to dictate to others what the terms OF
their contract shall be.
This whole affair is private mat
ter between Cobb and Mr.. Navin.
There are no legal obligations resting
on either party.
"Cobb has a right to value his serv-
ices at $4,000 or $15O,000 as he
chooses and Mr.. Navin has right to
nav it or not, just as he sees fit.
ssShould Mr.. Navin and Cobb desire
the offices of the fraternity in the set
tlement of the differences, we should
be very glad to do what we could, but
any attempt to bring pressure to bear
on either party would not only be a
violation of our bylaws, but would be
contrary to the fundamental purposes
of the organization.

The Kaw's infield and pitching staff

Austin team of the Texas League. He

regular turn as pitcher.
This announcement was made yes

to be an excellent infielder. He played
142 games at the keystone sack last

His batting average was .229.

VOTE ON BIG GAME
Majority of X. q. Alumni Want
Turkey Day Contest in X. G.
MI. u. Also i'm Favor of It-Ref-
erendum Vote Is Taken.

Lawrence, Kan, April 23.-"Back
to Kansas City with the annual Mis-
souri-Kansas football game
This is to be the slogan of strong
force of Kansas university alumni
which is preparing for a united effort
to have the annual game played in
Kansas City in the future as it was up
until two years ago.
A referendum vote is being taken
and the results indicate that there is
a strong sentiment in favor of re-
turning the game to Kansas City
where it was played for so many years.
Ninety per cent. of the former stu
dents who have been heard from thus
far are said to have expressed an opin-
ion in favor of the change back to
Kansas City. These votes are said to
come from all parts of the country
from former students who still are
very much interested in their alma
mater.
Missouri is said to be promising aid
in this movement. 1t is said that Mis-
souri, university students, alumni,
players, coaches and even the curators
are in favor of changing the game
back to Kansas City and abolishing
the present ruling.
The change was made three years
ago and the first game away from
Kansas City was played in Column bia,
Nc, il 1911. The attendance was a
great disappointment. Lawrence had
the game last fall. The crowd was
larger ard the day will long be re-
mem bered in Lawrence as one of the
biggest in the towns history. But still
game was played in Kansas City and
there has been much argument heard
in favor of the change ever since that
eVentful day.

PUT BAN ON ATHLETICS.
Pittsburg Stdents Critic1se Superin-
tendent's Decisions.

Parsons, Kan, April 23.-All athletics,
including the annual track meet which
has been held each spring for several
years, have been put under the ban in
the Parsons high school for the re-
mainder of the year.
The sweeping order of Superintendent
Pinet followed a game between the
in which the principal of the local high
school acted as umpire. Some of the
teachers decisions were harshly criti-
cised, and two of the local students
have been disqualified from partici-
pating in athletics until further notice
because of their remarks to the teach
er-umpire.
The board of education recently voted
money. to add considerable equipment
to the high school gymnasium and to
hire athletic director for the COM
ing year.

been sticking and they turned out
numerously for the seasons inaugural.
In consequence of which it would
have been most appropriate had the
Kaws taken the Grizzlies to a clean
ing.
The team is not weakened any with
Gear in left field in the place of Lee
and with left hand pitcher working.
Lee can't hit left handed pitcher any
better than Gear can hit a right
handed pitcher. Gear can hit a left
handed pitcher quite often, as the box
scores will indicate.
Rourke park has private box for
the official scorer. 1t is completely
aloof from the hoi polloi of the sport
writer's fraternity and Grandpa Girls
throne.
Emory Olson of Savonburg has
been given his ten days notice by
the management of the st. Louis
Browns. His fielding is still of the
classy kind, but he is not strong
enough to play nine innings every
day, in the opinion of the Brown
management.
Olson was the most promising ball
player ever developed in Kansas. He
played on the pennant winning team
of the American Association in 1909.
Shortly after the close of the season
he developed symptoms of acute mel
ancholia. His trouble was attributed
to the Strain on his mental faculties
entailed during the championship
race.
