HAS 'EM ALL GUESSING.
Connie Mack Is Pulling the Cnex

Connie Mack Is Pulling the Unex-
pected at Almost Every Turn.
New York, Jan. 18---What is going on
under Connie Mack's derby is the
problem that has every follower of the
horsehide pill. possibly with the single
exception Of Mack himself, sorely puz-
zled
Reams Of stuff were batted about the
infield of dope when Connie dropped
Eddie Collins to the delight Of one
Charles Comiskey. The Collins sem
sation came along as a fine young eli
max to the upset in the Athletics
pitching corps.
Now Mack has 'em guessing again.
Having once posed as the friend of the
young and ambitious in baseball. he
side-tracked the practice Of grabbing
promising youngsters by taking a
clutch on Nap Lajoie, about the time
the word was going the rounds that the
once great Napoleon was about to pass
into obscurity.
Balloon remembered that Larry real
~ did his limelight burst when he
jumped from the Philadelphia Nation
ais to Mack's team in 1901 and then
swung to Cleveland. 1t was figured
| that this latest move was a sort of PEN
sion scheme for Lajoie with a job of
coaching a few more youngsters Mack
is expected to dig from the bush league
haunts.
But Mr.. Gillicuddy killed that yarn.
Thirteen years of service with C1eve-
land may have worn the edge on Ma
poleon, Mack admitted, but there il
considerable solid baseball man left.
Instead Of ,usting on the benches
Lajoie will amble up to the bat when
the 1915 season blows open. says Mack.
The Collins-Lajoie double-climax was
too much for the sharks. 1t left them
faint. Nothing more that can come out Of
the camp OF the ex-world's champions
will create much OF the STIR. Nobody
knows how far Connie Mack will go
No matter how far 1t IL. nobody-here-
after-wil express much surprise.

Judge Mcpherson was 65 years old
and had been on the federal bench
since June, 1899. He was appointed
by President Mckinley upon the
unanimous recommendation of the
Iowa delegation. Previously he had
been attorney general of Iowa.

Women's Shoe Tops
Like Joseuh,s Coat

Have you noticed the varie-
gated styles and shades of the
shoe tops this season?
Fashion has taken q new
turn and curiously enough the
Good Dame is working with
the law of supply and demand.
Cloth shoe tops are a neces-
sity because of a shortage of
certain feathers.
So the shoemakers having
to use cloth or canvas tops
proceeded to vary them with
striking individuality.
These new shoe styles are
being shown by the leading
stores as you can see by glac-
ing at the advertising columns
of The State Journal.

NO HUSl /!
Conflicting Dates Given Is Rea-
son by Coaek Gray.

Because Of previous arrangements
with the Warrensburk Normal school
there Is q possibility that the Wash
burn football team will not be able
to meet the University Of Nebraska
eleven next fall.
Contrary to his Usual custom Of
giving Washburn the, opening date ON
his schedule, Coach Steihm. of Me-
braska, offered the Ichabods his third
engagement for next season and set
the date for October IS. Previous to
this, the Washburn authorities had
opened negotiations with the War
rensburg school and had specified this
date in particular.
A telegram has been received from
Lincoln asking whether or not WASH
burn would play Nebraska, and in re-
Spouse Athletic Director. Glen C.
Gray. stated that a meeting Of the
athletic board would have to be called
before a definite answer could be
given.
I'VE are very anxious to continue
football relations with Nebraska, Mr..
Gray said. but conflicting date
with the Warrensburk Normal school
stands in the way at present. A meet
ing of the board will probably be
called the first OF next week at which
a definite decision will be reached"
There is a feeling ON the part of
some OF the friends of Washburn that
Nebraska considered 1t unsafe to open
the season against as strong a team
as the Ichabods usually put out, es-
pecially in the face of the fact that
last seasons ganA was won by u
very narrow margin-.i
However. the Washburn. players,
students and friends are in favor of
keeping relations with Nebraska in

be serious mistake not to cancel the

CARE FOR CHILDREN.
Excellent Report Of Topeka Orphans
Home by Mrs. Mary Anthony.

Eighty-five homeless children of the
city were cared for at the Topeka or
phans, home during the year of 1914
and fifteen children were adopted from
the home by different families. ac-
cording to the annual report of Mrs.
Anthony, president of the Topeka or
phans' home association.
According to Mrs. Anthony. the total
expenses for running the school were
about $500. OF this amount $500, was
received from the state and county.
The balance Of last years expenses
were raised by subscriptions. Creamer-
les packing houses and other local bus
mess firms supplied most Of the food
stuffs used at the home. The cost of
help at the institution was 81 500.
The number Of children cared for and
returned to their homes during the
year was 6. Only two children died
during the twelve months covered in
the report. The number at the home
at the close OF the year was IL.
1.-The home has been kept in an ex-
cellent sanitary condition said Mrs.
Anthony, land In finding homes for the
children their future as wen as pres
emit conditions are considered. More
children could have been cared for at

There is one possibility in connec-
ton with the Johnson-Willard match
worth considering. According to
Promoter Jack Curley, the mill will
be staged in Mexico under the pro-
lection of General Villa, who takes
more than a passing interest in all
sports in which the gate receipts are
worthy of his more or less distin-
guished consideration. Suppose the
general should take a quiet tip from
Curley to have a little wager on
Willard to win. In that case would
johnson be SO inconsiderate as to
throw the general down right under
the guns of his own soldiers? APP
parently it will be a pretty safe
proposition to string along with the
general. II it can be found which way

Francis Ouimet, the golf champion,

months, ard says he will not play I'M

the winter months and cannot con-

game of the links when the hands

earned a rest, and he feels that he
will play all the better game next
