NIGHT OF CRIME
Negro Woman Shoots Man and
SurrenderS to Police.
w. C. Burk Held Up and
Robbed of Two Dollars.
(COpyright, 1913, by n. c. Fisher,
Trade Mark Reg. u. S. Pat Off

For a short time Thursday night
crime made a feeble effort to regain
its old standing in Topeka. Shortly
after o'clock at No. Park Place
Bertha Olive, a negress, shot and
wounded Tom Jones in the thigh. A
few minutes after the shooting the
Olive woman rushed into the police
station and gave herself up. Jones's
wound was not serious. The woman
said Jones, who is a negro. was chas-
ing her. DR.. c. c. Lull, county physi-
clan, attended the injured man.
A half hour later, w. c. Burk, who
lives in the 500 block on Madison
street. was held up in the same block
by two men. He was relieved of 81
that he carried in his change pocket.
Both the hold-ups were white men
and stopped Burk by thrusting guns
in his face and ordering him to reach
for the sky. Detectives Alba and
Woodward investigated the hold-up
but owing to the incomplete descrip-
ton which Burk was able to give no
arrests were made.
Shortly after o'clock Detective
McGovern picked up E. c. Chapman,
who the police claim has been doing
rushing business in Topeka in passing
bad checks for small amounts. The
arrest was made at the Santa Fe de-
pot. His last offense at sliding the
worthless paper was at the Curry
pool hall, 623 Quincy street, where he
obtained 81, according to McGovern.
McGovern also questions the method
used in obtaining several meal tick
cts the man had in his pockets.

DENVER LINING EN- UP.
Four Old Bears Will Not BE With Nc
GiIIs Club Again.

Denver, Colo, Jan. 2S.-Contracts
to members of the 1916 Denver base
ball club were sent out Thursday and
the list revealed many changes in the
makeup of the club for the coming
season. Four new men, Pitchers Webb
and Howard, Infielder Dyer and Out
fielder Harris were rendered contracts.
Dyer was recently purchased from the
New York Nationals and the other
three players were secured by draft
last fall.
At least four of last years main
stays of the team will not play with
Denver this season. Jack Coffey, eX-
manager, who resigned his post during
the last week of the season, Larry
Spahr. Prince Gaskell and Moose Nc
Cormick will be among those not pres
ent at the call of PLAY ball" this
summer. Jack Coffey has refused to
remain with the Denver club because
of differences with the owner; Spahr
and Gaskell have been told that they
can make deals for themselves, and
Mccormick has been placed on the
market. 1t is believed that these four
men and probably other members of
the team, will be sold or traded.

New York, Jan. 2S.-Joe Stecher.

proved conclusively to New York mat
fans Thursday night that he is really
entitled to a part of the honor he and
his western friends claim for him
when he defeated the Masked Marvel

Gotham wrestling tournament.
Stecher won from the NJ. NJ. in
straight falls, getting the first in ten
minutes and the second in six The
Nebraskan weighed 200 pounds and
the Masked Marvel 1913.
Stecher was previously matched
with Zbyszko for a bout Thursday
night. but Zbyszko backed out at the
last minute and the Masked Marvel
accepted the westerner's challenge and
took Zbyszko's place
Many exp rts Who saw the match
and saw Stecher use his wonderful
scissors. with which he has won all of
his matches. predict that the Ne
braskan will make a clean sweep of all
who oppose him while he is in the
east. and a great number think he will
have no trouble throwing Gotch If the
latter is ever induced to meet him.
Stecher will probably meet Zbyszko
and Stranger Lewis in the near flu
ture.

AGGIEs WIN FROM NoRMAI.s.
The Farmer Five Defeats Emporia
Teachers by &c to 10 Score.

Manhattan. Kan. Jan. 2S.-By a
score of &c to 10 the Aggies defeated
the Emporia Normalites here Thurs
day night in a fast, well played game.
In the first half the Teachers played
a safe cautious game, making few
trials at goals. After the first four
minutes of play their coach speeded
the Normal lineup, sending Shupe to
center. Hartwig to guard, and Hirsch-
Ter to forward in place of Felch.
This shift put speed into the Teach
ers and. dropping their defensive tao
tics. they began running up points.
The first half ended 1 3 to in favor Of
the Aggies. The second half was
evenly divided, the Aggies making 13
against the Teachers 70. Out of seven
chances Cutler for the Teachers made
five free throws. Hirschler made one
try and missed. out of nine chances,
Adams for the Aggies scored on eight.

Sport Wheezes
by CLUG-

An Omaha writer accuses Johnny
Bender of wanting the coaching job
at Nebraska and of then bringing
Chamberlain's ineligibility to light aft
er he failed to get it.
Also, the Omaha man wonders why
the Nebraska authorities did not dis
cover Chamberlain's status long ago.
And the Omaha man is an old Ne
braska student, too.
The statement that Bender wanted
the Husker job may, and it may not
be right. A few days after Stiehm's
resignation was accepted this page
carried a statement from Bender in
which he denied that he was candi-
date for Jumbo's place.
However, two or three weeks later
a Manhattan correspondent discovered
a chance to lengthen his string by
sending out stories to the effect that
Bender might go back to his old love.
Whether or not these stories were
based on facts is not known.
1t is hard to see where Bender de-
serves to be criticised for challenging
the eligibility of Chamberlain, despite
the fact that he is an old Husker
man. Surely those who criticise him
do not mean to intimate that Cham-
berlain should have been allowed to
play despite his ineligibility.
And surely Bender would not be
worthy of the reputation he has madc
for himself if he had continued to
draw a salary from the Aggie school
and at the same time winked at the
violation of a rule by the strongest
rival the Aggies expect to have.
The assertion is being made that in
terest in the proposed Willard-MOran
bout is dying out because of the horse
| play the promoters have been indulg-
| ing in since it was first proposed.
| Such interest as there was in the
bout however. is not likely to sue
cumb so readily. No one was expect
ing a really great fight. Few, if any
have ever expected Jess to lose his
crown in q 1O-round affair. The only
interest the real fans have in the Skin
mish comes from the fact that it will
give them a chance to get a line on the
comparative strength of the two men
and they will grab this chance when
| ever ii comes.

1.-The freshmen have decided they
will not surrender their letters unless
the athletic board agrees to replace
our WIS with large '19's.'" the COM
munication says. THE freshmen take
this stand because the athletic board
or the college did not give the sweat
ers, but our class did. The letter and
figures on the sweaters stand for the
class and not for the college. Most
of the freshmen say they would not
wear the sweaters if the symbols stood
for or represented the college. We
look upon the sweaters as our person.
al property, and consequently. if the
board wishes to take our letters off,
they will have to pay for them with
the equivalent of the W. which we
think is 19'--in fact we think '19'
is a little more desirable than a W."
