Several Representatives of the city
library board appeared before the city
council this morning, and presented
a budget for the coming years eX-
penses. The total of the budget runs
up to 5000 AS a rule the library
budget has been $4,000 each year, as
required by the Carnegie commits
sioners, when $4,000 was given for
| the Mankato library building. In
1911 and 1912 the library budget was
5000.
The delegation declared that the
library board has been very econom-
ical and that the budget asked for
included only things that were aDso-
lutely necessary. DR.. j. A. Hancock,
who presented the proposed budget
called attention to the fact that the
usual fund for miscellaneous expen-
ditures had been left out of this. Dr.
Hancock presented the proposed bud
get, together with reasons for vari-
Gus items, as follows:
"For the replacement of worm
| out books and for the purchase
of new ones, 5000.
Almost forty thousand books
are drawn out by the commune
ty each year now. This means
the wearing out of very many and
large demand for new books.
''The expense of our subsrcip-
ton list of periodicals will prob
ably be $255.
This is an increase of $25,
due to the rise in prices. The
periodical list has grown but lit
tie for good many years.
'The average yearly amounts
spent for binding magazines and
| rebinding worn books during the
four years has been $251.
"The salaries of the librarian
and assistants has for some time
amounted to $1,972.
"This means one librarian and
one assistant working on an
| eight basis, and one assist
| ant working on a five-hour basis,
giving service to the public
from nine in the morning until
nine at night. The work is heavy
enough so that the full time of
three people could be very well
used. This also includes keep
ing the library open on Sunday
afternoon from September until
| May. 1t includes no advance of
salary.
1.-The salary of the janitor is
| $40.
Judging by recent seasons
there will be needed for the heat
ing of the building, $500.
| For it's lighting, $3.50.
| For stationery, SIS.
For catalog supplies, SIS.
"For other library supplies,
such as readers cards, overdue
book notices, etc, with printing
| of the same, 500.
''For postage, SIS.
For express and freight $50.
For insurance, $3.50.
| "For repairs, $500.
| "This last includes such items
as needs for the roof, the floors,
| plumbing, furniture, and shelv-
ing. Among the new things need
| ed are duplicating machine, an
additional partition in the base
| ment, etc.
Budget Was Cut to $4,000.
| John c. Noe said that the board
members were giving their services
and had no axe to grind. He said
that the board first made up bud
get of $500, but later this was cut
to about $4,000. He said the $4,000
annual budget required by the Car
lnegie donors was enough when the

who are interested in shooting and
who would like to make the trip to

competitive match to select the To-

other Kansas teams and a large at
tendance is expected at this meeting.
An appropriation of $1,073 has been
given to Kansas to pay the railroad
fare and expenses of the ten men who
go from this state to the shoot, and
the men to go will be picked thru
competitive shoots participated in by
all the clubs in the state.
H. B. Howard, secretary of the To-

some of the best shooters in the state
and that there is no reason why the
team that represents this city in the
state competition should not win out.
This is the first national shoot in
which civilians as well as members
of the army, navy, marine corps and
national guard organizations will be
permitted to participate.

Endurance Counts More Than
Skill in Long Matches
BY FRANK G. MENKE.

New York, Sept. 26.-Fault is being
found with the greatest scoring system
in tennis. Many of the net enthusi-
asts declare that it is big mistake
to make the championship sets best
three in five. They advocate a best
two in three.
Tennis should be a game where
skill counts most" said one authority.
However, under the present scheme
of things, skill is subsidized to endur-
ance. The last national champion
ships illustrate my point.
"R. Norris Williams and William
Johnston battled in the finals. The
majority of those who saw that match
were a unit in declaring that Johnston,
in practically every division of tech
nique, was Williams master. Yet Will
liams wen.
"And it was endurance that really
turned the trick for Williams.
Advantage to Strong.
Johnston is rather frail of body;
Williams is not husky by any means,
yet he has a big advantage over John
ston in physique. He had greater en-
durance to call upon than did his
smaller foe, he was able to play five
sets and finish strong, while Johnston
almost crumpled in the fourth set and
played thru the fifth almost alone on
courage and will power
''It seems to me, as it does to 9TH
would do better than the present one.
Players who are brilliant performers
but who lack powerful frames, always
are handicapped in those long
matches. They never play their real
game. If they throw themselves into
the first three sets they find they are
just about worn out when the third is
finished. If they decide to conserve
| their energy, saving the real power for
the final sets, it means that they dc
not play their real game in those sets
where they are laying back

The Ichabod authorities decided
that it would be a good business
proposition to make the curtain raiser
a free affair, as it would get the sport
lovers to break the ice in directing
their steps Washburnward, and it I'M
doubtedly will tend to increase the
interest in affairs on the blue and
white field. Despite the fact that
everything will be free, the game Will
be a regular one and will be played
according to regulations that are in
force at all conference games.
Interest Is Keen.
To realize that football interest is
on the increase all one has to do is to
allow the ears to perform their natural
functions. Baseball is nearly over and
the fall days with the return of the
college lads proclaim in unmistakable
language and signs that football, the
king of all college and academic
sports, is back again stronger than
ever
On a thousand gridirons this week
the thud of the pigskin resounds.
Thousands of teams are putting on
the finishing touches preparatory to
the opening of the season and by the
latter part of the week the old king
will be comfortably seated on his
throne with his multitudes of follow
ers eager for court to open" and the
show.
Real Game Saturday.
Professor Kennedy, of the Wash
burn faculty, promises a real show in
Saturdays opener. The teams have
an abundance of material for making
1t interesting for each other. and both
sides will have whipped together
rather formidable organization by the
latter part of the week
Another new stunt that Doctor Ken
needy has pulled in connection with
the annual varsity freshie clash is
found in the system of picking the
freshman lineup. Under his signature
the following notice has been posted
IN Thomas gymnasium: Each fresh
man candidate will please hand in a
tentative lineup for next Saturdays
game"
The coach explained to the men
mat each candidate was to eliminate
himself rather hard thing for
some ambitious freshmen to do-and
stated that the team pitted against
captain Stewards regulars would be
picked from the lineups handed in.
Mental Exercise.
The mental exercise this method
OF picking team will give the men
Will be worth lot to them" Doctor
Kennedy said when asked about the
scheme. The new Washburn mentor.
be it remembered, is more than a
maker of winning football teams, and
he is doing a lot of new stunts'
which are calculated to show the
calumniators of the gridiron sport
that it is more than a necessary evil
and that it is one of the best men
makers" ever devised. He is showing
that football not only is a physical
benefit to those who indulge in it, but
is a mental developer as well.
From now until Saturday practice
will be held every afternoon and the
candidates will be put thru at least
two hours of stiff work every dav

Gains in Favor.
Tennis, known merely as a "high-
brow sport, a few years ago, con-
tinues to make giant strides toward
public favor. In all parts of the coun-
try it is gaining more devotees daily
and the biggest help has come from
the civil authorities. The building of
tennis courts in the big city parks has
given the enthusiasts a chance to play
The trouble is that there aren't enough
courts.
In Greater New York there are sew
eral hundred in the parks-but there
should be ten thousand. Every one
would be in use almost every day in
the playing season. At each of the
parks now there always is a big wait
ing line, each crowd of players being
limited to the time they can spend on
the courts
