Bellevue and the College Play.

columns recently 10 the Bellevue college
play to be given Monday evening at s 40

beautiful scene in that lovely natural smphi-
theater among the fine old forest trees on
Elk Hill from year To year. have wondered
why more people did not 90 TO II. In
the first place the play Is always well acted
out and the students do their part admir-
ably. and that alone Ia worth the trip. But
the beautiful natural surroundings make
visit TO Bellevue and 10 Elk Hin and the
college well worth a special effort. There
IA no more charming scene 20 be witnessed
IN this part Of the country than this stu
dent play I'm the grove" This year they
give US The Merchant Of Venice"

Warns Against War.

Lincoln. June 3.--To the Editor Of The
Bee: What have We learned by living in
the world7 To read the sermons delivered
in the New England states on Decoration
day and the editorials OF the big newspapers
Of the large cities. one would almost come
TO the conclusion that we were living in
the dark ages. But, we are not. The coat
Of arms that once distinguished nobility
has been changed by the process Of time.
II is doubtful II very many people will be
willing TO go back to the things that existed
among the ancients when military emblems
were the distinction of nobility. The peo-
pie Of the old world that followed the teach
ing Of the military advocates. have been led
into war Of death and ruin, and are now
so eager for a cessation Of hostilties that
they are looking to the United States and
other Neutral countries for mediation.
That the United States should become in
famed with the war spirit. or see the nee
essity Of building walls arund the country
to prevent assassination, is strange and not
easy TO explain. The eastern people live on
excitement Billy" Sunday can 20 TO New
York or Boston. crawl around on the plat
form his diaphram, and by the use Of
poor English and bad grammar, start a tre-
mendous excitement
The people who have not become de-
lrious over the wild talk Of war. should get
diligently to work to stop the mischieyous
influence Of the war advocates, as II may be
reasonably expected that every farmer In
this country will soon have a mortgage on
his farm, and the laboring men a burden
some tax laid upon them, TO be paid as a
debt in consequence Of war preparedness
when all the world desires peace

II SUNDAY DATES
Topeka Gets Her Share of the
Big Day Games.
Savage Buys New Pitcher From
the X. C. Blues.

After playing a four game series at
st. Joe, the Topeka Savages will re-
turn home on the night of April 23
and will spend the day of the oath
son here with the Denver Bears on
Tuesday, April 25.
John Savage, upon his return home
from the Lincoln schedule meeting,
Friday stated that there was not
sQuabble whatever over the arranging
of the playing dates and that all the
club owners appeared satisfied with
what they received.
The season, as has been previously
stated, will begin on Thursday, April
20, and will run until September "a.
total of 154 games being played in
159 days. There will be Monday
games as there have been in the past
and every club will arrange its own
Ladies' Days as formerly
Twelve Sundays.
Topeka and all the clubs IN the
southern division will have Il Sundays
during the season, while the clubs of
the northern division will have only
IL. ~
Savage returned home from the Lin
coin meeting full of enthusiasm and in
high spirits over the prospects for the
coming season. According to his views,
all the club owners are expecting one
of the most successful seasons in the
history of the league, anticipating
faster ball, keener interest and better
crowds.
Savage was profusive in his praise
of the way Lincoln and President
Zehrung entertained the magnates,
and he predicts that the new league
mead will prove one of the most popu-
lar men in baseball.
A New Pitcher.
On his return from the Nebraska
capital, the Topeka club owner stop
ped off in Kansas City long enough to
purchase Pitcher Larsen from George
Tebeau, owner of the K. C. Blues
Larsen is a big right handed pitch
er who has been in class A and IA
company for the past two years, and
Savage thinks he will be a valuable
addition to his mound staff.
In 1913 Larsen was in the Texas
league, winning IA and losing 10
games. During the greater part of the
1914 season he was with the Grand
Forks club of the Northern league,
winning 1 games and losing 9. To-
wards the latter part of the season he
went to st. Paul and worked in five
games, winning two. Early in 1915
Larsen was sold to Omaha on option
and pitched five games for Pa
Rourke's FASTENERS, of which he won
three, but at the end of the option he
was allowed to go back. st. Paul then
returned him to the Northern league,
and he later signed with the Kansas
City Blues, from which club Savage
bought him

the Nebraska marvel gets a crack at
him.
Here is one of the arguments Des
Moines is using to land the go: There
are more people in Nebraska who
think Stecher can win than there are
people in Iowa who believe in Gotch.
People will travel farther to see their
favorite perform if they have conf
dence in him than if they are doubt
| full. Therefore more Nebraskans
would go to an Iowa town to see the
match than there would be Iowans
who would go to a Nebraska town to

AFTERNOON BASKETBALL
is BIG SUCCESS At H. S.
Axel Hendrickson.

Friday afternoon Athletic Direc-
tor Hepworth and Coach MacLean,
of the Topeka High school, were
able to try out their afternoon bas-
ketbaIl experiment for the first
time, and as a result the crowd that
attended the game was more than
twice as large as any crowd that
has been to a night contest. In
discussing the experiment after the
game, Mr. Hepworth said: IT am
now thoroughly convinced that
basketball is a matinee sport, and
in the future 1 think we will, if
possible, play all our games before
the hour for chickens to go to
roost." It is the opinion of the high
school authorities that basketball
in the future will be an afternoon
sport exclusively.

Jack Hampton Next Week

Topeka wrestling fans are promised

Wednesday night when Louis Hoff-
man, the local grappler, meets Jack
Hampton of Garnett in a bout to be
staged in the most centrally located
building that can be found.
H. c. Cooper of Garnett, manager
Of Hampton, was in the city Friday
and spent the entire day making ar
engagements for the bout. A $50 for
felt has been posted, guaranteeing the
appearance of the two principals, and
E. II. Fisher of North Topeka, one
of the city's most enthusiastic wres-
Ting fans, predicts that the contest

two years.

WAYNE a BUSY PUG.
Leavenworth Fighter VIII Wind Up
Season With Big Bill.

Leavenworth, Kan, Feb. 19.-Dick
Wayne, the California lightweight
who is wintering in Leavenworth, is
planning an active campaign for the
closing weeks of the winter. He came
out of the Hayes bout this week in
good shape, and has secured a bout
with Jack White, brother of Left
Hook Charley" before the Excelsior
Springs Athletic club the latter part
of the month.
Wayne is meeting a tough boy in
White. He was a featherweight when
he broke into the game several years
ago, and in his record can be found
a decisive defeat of Tommy Dixon,
who was in his prime at the time. 1t
was a twelve round go in Cleveland
and White cut Dixon up considerable
in those dozen sessions.

AGGIEs WON THE FOURTH.
Farmer Five Made Clean Sweep of
Schedule With Jayhawkers.

Schedule With JayhaWkefS.
Manhattan, Kan, Feb. 19-Playing
with more snap than they have shown
on their home court for some time,
the Kansas Aggies took their fourth
victory of the season from the Kan
sas Jayhawkers Friday night by a
score of 10 to 81.
The first period was marked by
some of the fastest team work the
Aggies have ever displayed, the half
ending "a to in their favor. The
Aggies took the ball from the tip-off
and rushed the Jayhawkers off their
feet in a whirlwind of plays that
smothered the visitors, who seemed I'M
able to get their team work started
The second period started with all
the pep of the first, but the Aggies
soon tired down, and in the last few
minutes of play allowed the game to
drag. Only the inability of the KAN
sans to connect with the basket pre-
vented their end of the score from
piling up. In the last fifteen minutes
of the game, Coach Hamilton sent in
an almost fresh team, and the game
ended with the entire K U. first string
on the side lines.
