team lost four straight games to the
College Hill quintet Wednesday night,
thereby suffering and sustaining the
most crushing defeat either side has
endured since hostiltties between the
two organizations began.
The College Hill gang showed
better form than at any previous time
since they abandoned the outdoor
court last fall and all OF the players
fielded their positions well and kept
the machinery of their team work
running from the beginning of the
second game until the end Of the fifth.
Captain Williams Of the Hilldwell-
ers was probably the star Of the even
ing's playing. Boone of the Railroad
ers did not play ur to form and gave
a. his excuse the fact that he was
grieving over the Ions Of his blue shirt.
This shirt was considered the luck
piece of the team, and some time be-
fore the game it mysteriously disap-
peared.
As the result of Wednesday nights
games, the College Hill team claims
to have won two out Of three series,
but the railroaderss also claim this
honor. and it is probable that three
more games will besscheduled in or

puted championship.

A sTOCKYARDs DECREASE.
Report OF Kansas City Yards Show
Smaller 1914 Business.

1tcIOEt VI RaA1SuS NAty AesseAS NoAAOssS
Smaller 1914 Business.
The annual report of the Kansas
City. Kan, stockyards received IN To-
peka show; a decrease when COM
pared with the 1913 business.
During the year ending December
there were 1,S27.246 head of cat
tie brought into the yards; 129.4O5
calves; 2,264.042 hogs; 2.002,042
sheep and 87,155 horses and mules.
total of .10s.279 stock. cars were
brought into the yards during the
year. This shows the growth of the
live stoc-- industry of the southwest
during the past thirty years. In 1871.
there were 120.S27 head of cattle:
4O,O36 hogs; 4.527 sheep and 500
horses and mules. Only 1928 cars Of
cattle were brought in. The greatest
increase during those years was on
sheep. From only sideline work on
business in Kansas. Oklahoma. Texas,
New Mexico and Colorado has as
sumed mammoth proportions.
The largest receipts for sheep TAX
en- care Of in one day was 1894 on
September 21. The average number
Of head Of stock per day during the
year was 1929.
There was a slight decrease in the
handling Of all animals except horses
and mules in 1914 in comparison with
the previous year. The increase in
horses and mules is due to the heavy
buying caused by the demand for the
animals in Europe.
1t is interesting to note that out of
the 10S,279 cars handled. the Santa
Fe led with 1924 cars; the Missouri
Pacific was second with 2O,331; the
Rock Island was third with 1855
cars: the Union Pacific was fourth
with 9,079 cars, and the other ten
roads entering Kansas City divided
up their share Of the remainder.
