knock should drive their blows

However, there is really no occasion
to knock, as even the best balanced
team in the world will wobble once in
while. Although Wichita won only
about one game in a whole month, the
fans stuck with the team and Wichita
has covered herself with glory by CIV

And this broad assertion is made with
out fear of contradiction.
This column extends sincere condo
t1ence to every member of ST. Joe's
team. However, it would advise re-
serve pitchers like Vance and Brown
not to make their brags about what
they are going to do when they get
chance.
A Jimmy Jackson day tomorrow
certainly would be fitting way for
Topeka fans to express their appre
citation of the great little red flannel
manager. Jimmy fought like Hanni-
bal yesterday; but he won like Caesar.
Jack Holland is optimistic and says
his team will be up in the running and
hts crowds will be right there, too.
ST. Joe club so hard is explained thus
1y: The Drummers have a large fe-
male following. The Missouri ladies
turn out in handsome numbers to see
the Josies play. And, of course, ladies
can't be expected to take the same
chances a threatening day that
men fans do.
Some of the ST. Joe players consid-
err Flanagan, the lad who licked the
the terrible Vance. And Holland says
FIanny's fast one was terribly slow
Sunday. Those who saw Sundays
game can imagine what it must be
when it has all the juice on it.
A rather unusual condition exists
in the Western league. President
O'Neill has gone on record as saying
that the league was in danger of sub
merging, and the club owners to a
oh tn
pend unless some unforeseen i'll luck
hobs up.
And if this column were running a
book it would be willing to lay odds
of 10 to 1 that the schedule will be
played out. In fact, by the end of the
month if the weather stays good most
of the clubs ought to be in a better
financial shape and have a better out
look than they had at the same time
last year.
Lefty George, Kansas City Blue
twirler, is doing his share towards Civ
ing Tebeau a pennant contender.
George looks like he might have the
making of a great pitcher in him.
Those who saw him here with the
Blues during the exhibition season
may remember his unusual delivery
which is one of his most valuable
assets.
Pa Rourke has dug up two more
new pitchers in an effort to bolster up
that weak hurting staff The new
men are Thompson from the Jersey
City club of the International league
and Arthur Lang of the Venice Pa

Jimmy Jackson this column reiterates

WAR TAX BILL PASSES
MEASURE ADOPTED BY SENATE
BY VOTE OF As to 20.
Fight Made on Provision by Senator
Smoot and Other RepubIi-
can Leaders.

Washington, Dec. 20.-The admins
tration's first revenue bill, extending
the emergency war tax for one year,
was passed by the senate on Friday
by vote of As to 20. The measure
was signed by the president.
Mr.. Smoot of Utah, Republican
member Of the senate finance commit
tee, moved to limit the time extension
of the war taxes to June 80, 1916.
This amendment was rejected rs to so,
by party vote, except that five Re-
publicans-Mr. Clapp Of Minnesota,
Mr.. Curtis of Kansas, Mr.. Harding of
Ohio, Mr. James of Washington and
Mr.. Kenyon of Iowa refused to seem
to support even that extension and
voted against it.
Mr.. Underwood's maiden speech
was a great personal triumph. He
has not been assigned to the finance
committee, which has particular jur-
isdiction over all fiscal matters, but
his experience in the house has made
him the recognized Democratic au-
thority on finance.
Mr.. Underwood by three quiet Ques-
tions induced Senator Penrose to ad-
NIT that the Republicans did not
want protection to exclude foreign
competition that foreign imports IN
der the Democratic tariff had not
therefore injured the industries Of
the country and that the country with
the Underwood act still in force was
now highly prosperous.

the richest of silk velvet, to be sure,
but black, nevertheless. 1t was made
in walking length with a very full
skirt, short enough to display the
patent leather French half-shoes,
which had no trimming.
Her hat was picture hat of black
beaver, the rolling brim slightly up
turned at the left side with gourra
feather placed where it rolled upward.
She wore no gloves and carried a
white-bound prayerbook in her hand.
The bodice of the gown was elabor-
ate to a degree. 1t was of rare en-
broidery in a lily pattern done in silks,
shading from deep tones of royal blue
to the most delicate pastel shades, and
studded with turquoise. The net was
shown over a broad band of cloth OF
silver and a bolero effect in black vel
vet embroidered to match the net was
shown in front, the high, close-htting
girdle of plain black velvet reaching
I'D to meet the embroidered net in
front and outlining her figure perfect
ly in the back.
The sleeves were of finest black net
in tiny tucks, with deep cuffs of the
embroidered velvet which reached far
down over the hands and extended to
the elbow in a lily-sheath point. Her
only ornament was the presidents
gift, a superb diamond brooch worn
for the first time.
Less Than Forty Guests.
There were less than forty guests
present at the wedding. They were
only the immediate members of the
two families.
When the president and bride left
for the South Mrs. Wilson wore the
same costume in which she was mar
ried, but over it she threw a superb
fur coat.
Mrs. Wilson's trousseau is said by
close friends to be magnificent in it's
extent and to have cost several thou
sand dollars. Most of it is American
made.
The trousseau dispels the idea of
the boiling green" being favorite
with the first lady of the land. The
trousseau is distinctly a blue trous-
seau.
One is the gown in which she was
married and went away and the other
is of black chiffon velvet, which cost
$1,000. 1t came straight from Paris,
but was fitted by filters here. 1t is
made on princess lines.
At noon President Wilson attended
the christening of his granddaughter,
little Eleanor Wilson McAdoo, in the
blue room of the WhiteNHouse.

DANELLES.
MEN SENT TO NEW FIELDS
Forces at SuVla and Anzac Districts
Have Been Transferred, Says an Of
fetal Statement From London-May
Aid Allies at SaIoniki.

London, Dec. 22.-AIl British troops
at the Suvla and Anzac districts OF
Gallipoli peninsula have been with
drawn.
The following official statement re-
garding this step was issued here on
Monday:
''All the troops at Suvla and An
FAC, together with their guns and
stores, have been successfully trans
ferred, with insignificant casualties,
to another sphere of operations"
Operations in sectors of the front at
Gallipoli other than those from which
troops have been withdrawn are to be
continued, it is intimated in another
official statement The withdrawal
was effected without knowledge of the
movement on the part of the Turks,
it is declared.
Further details of the evacuation
of the Anzac and SuVla zones have
been received" says the official state
ment. Without the Turks being
aware of the movement, great army
has been withdrawn from one of the
areas occupied in the closest of con-
tact with the enemy. By this contrac-
ton of the front operations at other
points of the line will be more effec-
lively carried out.
Sir Charles Monro gives great cred
It for this skillfully conducted transfer
Of forces to the generals commanding
and the royal navy"
The war Office statement leaves the
public to draw it's own conclusions as
to the destination of these Australia
sian and United Kingdom forces,
which must be well over 100000
strong, but it is widely conjectured
that any southwark sweep of the Teu-
tonic or Bulgarian armies in the Bal
kans, whether from the north, west
or east, will sooner or later come in
contact with them.
In giving the house of commons in
formation of the withdrawal, as an
nounced by the war office, Premier AS
quith added that the transfer was
made in pursuance of a decision
reached by the cabinet some time ago.
1.-THE operation so successfully car
ried out, said the premier, reflects
the utmost credit upon the general
on the spot, upon the admiral, the
staff and all ranks of both the army
and the navy"
The Suvla bay and Anzac cove po-
sitions are on the north coast of Gal
Hpoli peninsula. Anzac cove is about
sixteen miles from the tip. Suvla bay
is five miles farther on.
Some of the bitterest fighting of the
Dardanelles campaign has taken place
at these positions.
The Anzac region, which takes its
name from the initials of the Austria
liam and New Zealand army corps, has
been the scene of furious attempts of
the invaders to thrust back the Turks.
Here, as at Suvla bay, the allies have
been able to achieve no striking sue
cesses.
The loss of life at both these posi-
lions has been very heavy.

BIG BASEBALL WAR is ENDED
Only Charlie Weeghmar and Ball of
Outlaws Get Holdings in Major
Clubs-Sign Pact Tuesday.

New York, Dec. 20.-Peace in base
ball has been established. The final
decision was reached in the confer
ence between the Federal league COM
mittee and the national commission
and the New York session was ad-
journed to meet again Tuesday in Gin
cinnati to complete an adjustment of
all the details. While all the condi-
tons of the peace pact were not made
public, it looks as if it was almost a
complete backdown by the Federal
league. 1t also looks as If none of the
Feds may be taken care of except
Charles Weeghman, who is to be at
the head of the Chicago Cubs, and
Phil Ball, who is to purchase the ST.
Louis Browns. 1t looks as if Harry
Sinclair, the big money man of the
Feds, is to be left out in the cold. The
big thing is that there will be peace
because there will be no Federal
league.
