conduct a business that there will be
neither profit nor loss 1t appears that
the domestic science department OF
Morse High school has almost accom-
plished this difficult business record,
however, for the accounting of the de-
partment's receipts and expenditures IN
connection with the furnishing of lunches
to the school children at the Winter
term shows a profit margin OF just eight
cents-no more no less.
And now there is a movement on FOOT
to bring Billy Sunday to Maine this sum-
mer. At meeting Of the Portland
Methodist Preachers Association, Rev
Alexander Hamilton of Old Orchard said
that the directors Of the association nave
been corresponding with Sunday on the
subject Of his coming to Old Orchard
and as yet neither a refusal to come
nor a favorable promise has been given.
There have been some great crowds at
Old Orchard in years past, but should
Billy Sunday come to the great beach
this summer all records for great crowds
at Old Orchard would certainly be
broken. There is no man in America SO
much in the press of the East as is sun
day now.

Topeka Golfers Plan to Clean
Up at Wichita.
Big Tournament Will Be Held
June Is to IS.

About twenty Topeka golfers are
planning to attend the Kansas State
Golf association meet which will be
held in Wichita June to 1S inclu-
s1ve, and every man who goes will en-
ter the various events with a determi-
nation to pluck the biggest basket of
honors for Topeka.
According to information received
by H. A. Auerbach from F. H. Rob-
ertson, secretary of the association
Wichita is making elaborate plans for
the entertainment of the guests who
will attend the tournament and every
convenience will be placed at their dis
posal.
Topeka, Wichita, Emporia, Lawrence
Newton, Ottawa, Hutchinson and Sa-
lima participated in the tournament;
and this year Coffeyville, Pratt and
sentatives. Something like ITS en-
tries are expected and the prize and
trophy list will be a big one.
Attractions for Visitors.
In order to accomnnodate the WISH
tors who viii prefer to remain on the
grounds to stayins-at hotels in the
city, the Wichita club has arranged to
pitch large waterproof tents on the
grounds and to furnish meals from the
club cafe. An adjacent swimming
pool, tennis courts and other attrac-
lions are being held out to lure the
best talent in Kansas to the meet.
Last year Hutchinson captured the
bulk of the prizes, winning the cham
p1onship cup, the directors cup and
the semi-final medal of the champion
ship flight. Topeka players won the
low qualifying medal, the presidents
cup and the Watson trophy
This year the main cup flights will
be as follows:
The highest 32 for the champion
ship The 6 losers in this flight will
play for the class A cup.
The next s for the presidents cup.
and the losers for the secretary's
cup.
The next 16 for the directors cup
and the losers for the Waterloo cup.
Those failing to qualify in the first
three flights enter for the Also Ran
cup.
A gold medal will be offered for the
low qualifying score and for the best
team score in the qualifying round.
The Watson trophy is awarded to the
man 55 years old or over who makes
the lowest qualifying score.
Other prizes that will be offered
are: Spalding cup for the club hav-
ing the largest number of survivors in
the several contests at the close of
play Thursday; gold medals for the
losers in the semi-finals of the cham
p1onship flight; and a, cup for the
team of four making the longest
drives in a driving contest.

Preacher Advises Jess Willard
to Leave "Skirts" Alone.
Also Tells Him to Stick to Kan
SaS Water.

Chicago, ILL.,, April 13.-Jess Will
lard, the worlds fistic champion, was
handed some advice Sunday night by
the Rev. A. D. Thibodeau, pastor of
the Sheridan Road M. E. church.
DIR. Thibodeau, who prefaced his
evening sermon with comments on the
encounter between Willard and Jack
Johnson at Havana last week, an
nounced ten rules for Jess to observe
in order to retain the heavyweight
title. The ten rules are:
Punch the devil every day as eff
fectively as you did Jack Johnson.
Shun the white light of Broadway.
They are the guide-posts to hell.
Don't let the pretty, powdered para
sites, who are bound to be on your
trail, make a fool out of you.
Always introduce yourself as Jess
Willard of Kansas. Kansas water
beats Broadway booze mile.
Stick close to your wife and four
babies. They will prevent your TAX
ing the toboggan slide to hell.
Invest your money in a western
ranch; get an automobile and take in
to your pulse lots of ozone.
Clean living is your capital on de-
post. Don't overdraw the account.
Steer clear of the green table or the
sharks will get you.
Hit the Billy Sunday sawdust trail.
Come to Chicago next year and help
make the town dry.

Owner Savage Wants Fair Sex
Fans at Games.
Pitcher CIunn Gets Hurt i'm Soc
Ger Practice Monday.

John Savage, owner of the Topeka
Savages, is anxious to have his base
ball games patronized by the ladies.
And, in order to get the ladies to at
tend, he has made special concessions
in their favor Here are the conces-
sions and the prices that will be
charged at all home games: ,-.s
All ladies will be admitted to the
grandstand on Mondays, Tuesdays,
Wednesdays and Thursdays for rs
cents.
ted free without restrictions, that is
regardless of whether or not they are
accompanied by a male escort.
On Saturdays, Sundays and holt
days, however, ladies will be charged
the regular SO cent admission price.
The price of grandstand admission
to all male adults will be SO cents at
all times.
bleachers at all games will be rs cents.
Children under IL years of age will
be charged rs cents for admittance to
the grandStand.
Monday afternoon the Savage squad
had a hard workout, after which a
little soccer was INDUCED in. Playing
soccer in baseball uniforms with
cleated shoes on, however, proved
wind producer.
Several of the players had big
gashes cut in their pants by being
struck with the cleats on the shoes of
opponents and Southpaw Clunn re-
ceived a bad cash on his left shin.
Clunn Gets Cut.
Clunn and Manager Jackson had
cornered a Scotch high ball near the
fence and both were endeavoring to
kick another. But Jackson's toe went
wild and landed on Clunn's shin, cut
ting the meat to the bone and making
very ugly cash.
1t was necessary for the Reading
twirler to take his shin to doctor and
have it dressed, but he thought he
would be able to go out to the field
this afternoon and would be back at
the old peg by tomorrow.
None of the players seemed to take
to the soccer innovation with the
alacrity that a duck takes to creek
water, and as a result of the torn
cloth and lacerated hide of Mondays
attempt. it is possible invisible basket
ball will be substituted from now on.
Manager Jackson started the soccer
practice for the purpose of developing
the wind of his players, but he says
wind is not any more essential to ball
players than shins and legs, and he
thinks there are other ways that it can
be developed without having the pants
torn off the PLAYERS each daV

Makes Scotch Game a Fa-
vOrite in the United States.

Kansas City, Mo-, April 13.-Golf is
sweeping the country-to be correct
it is sweeping the cities. 1t will reach
the country later. Advertising is
credited for its increased popularity.
Sporting editors with one accord have
been boosting the Scotch game for the
last few years while the cartoonist has
done his best to acquaint the public
with the bag and clubs. The favorite
in this line being fathers wild and
frantic hunt for his precious clubs

Then, too, the baseball players have
taken up the game in the last five
years to give them something to do
in the mornings-somethin that
would aid them physically and men
tally-a certain writer in the .Satur-
day Evening Post will disagree as to
the possibility of aiding them men
tally.
Sporting authorities believe golf
within a few years will be more pop

Throughout Germany special eff
forts are being made to prevent the
private boarding or gold How sue
cessful these efforts have been lis
proved by the surprisingly large re-
serve supply of gold that has been
accumulating in the vaults of the
Reichsbank and Bank Of Dresden
since the outbreak of the war. The
gold reserve Of the Reichsbank (the
Imperial Bank) has increased from
,200,000,000 Marks to 2,20O, O,00O,-
600 Marks
Quite a unique way OF coaXing the
hidden gold out Of old wives stock
ings was employed with signal sue
cess by a Silesian miller, William
Pyrkosoh OF Luban
On December % he announced in
a Luban newspaper that he would
make a free gift OF five pounds Of
wheat -four for every gold piece that
should be brought him for exchange
into paper money before tho first Of
the year.
The effect Of this advertisement
was astonishing. On the following
morning long before Pyrkosch's S
mill opened there was troop Of
people waiting for him with gold
pieces ready for exchange. One old
peasant woman brought SO many
gold pieces that a heavy wagon was
required to carry of her free store
of flour. During tho course Of the
day many quaint old coins long out
of use came to light. AS a result of
three days exchange the miller was
able to deposit $4,000 marks worth
Of gold in the Reichsbank.
