Here is a club composed of re-

Pitchers Demaree, Shawkey, Rus.

Outfielders-E. Murphy, Stengel

If this bunch could get together il

the newcomers mentioned are fast

OPENING CAME
next SATURDAY
Coach Puts Men Through Stiff
Grind Preparatory to the
~ Initial Combat.
ALUMNI is TO ORGANIZE
Begin Practice First Of Week-Edwin
Mcintyre to Captain the
Veterans.

With the alumni game but a week
distant. Coach Corneal is bending ev-
cry energy towards whipping his
squad into shape for the opening bat
tie. The men have been getting some
real workouts the past week. Twice
the first team has been pit.ed against
the scrubs In stiff scrimmage, and the
boys have stood the test in a manner
eminently satisfactory to the coach.
Although the students have but little
hopes OF the high school squad trim
ming the Alumni aggregation. they
do expect that the ex-stars will be
held TO a low score. Although II is
rather easy TO make predictions for the
season, 1t is believed that this years
eleven will far surpass that OF 1912
With a nucleus OF seven seasoned vet
cans and a bunch Of pomising can
didates fighting for positions, things
look good. The team will be a trifie
heavier than that which represented
the local institution last fall.
ALUMNI STRONG.
The alumni aggregation will start
practice the first of the week, under
tie guiding hand OF Edwin Mcintyre,
who has made a tentative choice of
men. Herbert Reck and Joe Smith
will probably be placed al tackle.
Swift Richie. erstwhile star, will prob
ably hold down the quarterback posi-
tion. Richie played a number Of
games with Annapolis last year. He has
put on considerable weight and now
weighs in the neighborhood of 1876
pounds. He should be valuable ad-
dition 10 the alumni. Der. Benson has
been picked for center. Jack Kittil-
sen and Ed Mcintyre will probably
play the halves with Dan Brennan at
full. Bud Willett and VIII Wooden
are the choice for guards It IS likely
that Maize" Groves and Harry Behn-
amann will be the endmen In addi-
ton there are Dick Lift and Marcus
Brough, either one OF whom could
hold down a regular position as well
II not better than the men mentioned
above.

Next Tuesday night will be
the regular meeting of the city
council, and we presume that at
that meeting the council Will
make the necessary arrangements
to purchase Springs park, accord
ing to the vote of the council at
its last regular meeting. We
understand the women's clubs OF
the town will ask permission OF
the council to make a general
cleanup of the park. We hope
this will be done, and then the
park will be a credit to the town,
and the envy of all the towns in
this part of the country. Baxter
Springs should have owned that
park when it was first used for
park purposes. 1t should have
never been in private hands.
Every town that amounts to any:
thing has a park. Baxter Springs

when it gets hold of Springs

FATHER AND MOTHER BEST
No Other Names for Parents Garry
the Same Deep Meaning Of
Reverent Love.

Father" and mother" are difficult
words to improve upon when one
thinks of the associations they convey
and the dignity of their meaning. re-
marks London Answers.
Many, however, have been the of
shoots of these appellations. Papa
and mamma" have been in use in
England for at least three centuries,
and it is generally accepted that they
are of italian origin, as Dante uses
the word mamma" in the Purgatorio.
Among middle class folk dad" or
daddy" is a favorite nickname. Dad"
is of pure Welsh extraction, and is de-
rived from, or is a corruption of. the
word tad"
'Pater" and mater" make their ap-
pearance when students are in The
throes of Latin grammar. 'Poppa"
and "momma" have appealed to the
young American.
None of these nicknames, or terms
of endearment, can, however, approach
the beautiful Anglo-Saxon definition of
parents-"father" and mother" and it
is these terms that one clings to when
childhood's days are over.

he kicked the bull in the ribs, and into

He went over the palings like a
deer vaulting a tiny brook. The crowd
scattered and gave him room and in
stentorian tones the ships surgeon

MUD HOLE SAVES MANS LIFE
Plttsbursher PIunoes 4oc Feet From
Retaining WalI--Auto Pulls Him
Out unhurt.

MISUNDERSTANDING along the re-
tanning wall in Grant boulevard the
other night, Stephen Barr slipped on
a banana peeling, pirouetted for an
slant, then topping over the low rail-
ing, shot 400 feet into darkness and
into a chance mud hole 30 feet above
the railroad tracks, on a narrow shelf
Of the cliff.
II the banana peel had been 20
feet either way from the spot where
Barr encountered 1t, his death would
have been certain. AS II was, Barr
was imbedded In sticky clay. He
managed to get his face above the
surface and began struggling to ex-
tricate himself.
In response to a telephone call a
squad of police with a stretcher ar.
rived in a patrol wagon. Leo Gaus
was lowered with a rope which he
tied to Barr. The crowd at the top
of the clin was unable to pull Barr
from his ineasement of mud
Harry Cess. passing in an automo-
bile was stopped. The rope was at
tached to the machine, and Geiss slow
ly started ahead. Once drawn frora
the mud hole, Barr was hauled to
safety. Aside from bruises. he was
unhurt
