Most of the practice clashes nave
been held and the bookings for the
end of this week, while they do not
contain feature headlines of the sea-
son. show that the time has come
when the public is to be served
with high class contests.
The game of the week that will
attract the most attention all over
the United States will probably be
the Yale-Virginia contest at New
Haven. Last year Virginia upset the
dope and gained reams of publicity
by defeating the Old Eli 10 to 0,
and critics and dopesters are anxious
ly waiting to see if a repeater is
possible this year. Yale has under
gone many changes since the South
erners triumphed last season and it
is not generally thought that she will
suffer another humiliation at the
hands of the F. F. VS.. Other min
d or-major clashes carded for this
week in the east are the Princeton
North Carolina game, the Harvard
Tufts, Cornell-Gettysburg, and U. of
Pitt WESTMINSTER contests.
Big Game of West.
The big intersectional game of the
middle west, the one in which Kan
sans are particularly interested, is
the X. U.-Illinois meeting at Urbana.
This will be the first time Jayhawker
four years and the result of the
game when compared with other Big
Nine and Missouri Valley results
later on will serve to dope the COM
parative strength of the two confer
ences-
be at Lincoln between Nebraska and
Drake. the other conference teams
playing smaller schools. Missouri is
scheduled to meet Central college, the
Kansas Agsies meet Ottawa. Ames,
Highland Park. and Washington Rose
Poly.
OF course the feature card in
Kansas will be the Washburn-C Cooper
meeting in Topeka tomorrow. but
there are several other Kansas con-
ference games that should prove in
teresting and close.
Friends VS.. Normals.
Friends University will give the
Emporia Normal Teachers their first
conference battle, and from the show
ing the Teachers made against X u.
last week they look like big favor
ties. but Friends may spring a sur
prise as the Quakers are doped
stronger than usual.
Haskell should have the advantage
in the Redskin-Hay Normal game
at Lawrence tomorrow, and the Ag-
gies ought to romp in their contest
with southwestern. But the Baker

mount, the Ottawa-Bethany and the

against the Salina eleven. according
to the dope, but there is absolutely
no dope on the others. From the rs

Salina Wesleyan it appears that C

tend with. Paramount has not wor

ever. and If injuries received at Sa-

report there may be no breaking OF

Twelve World Series Battles

the title. The Sox triumphed. The at

world series contest was in 1911 when
the Athletics beat the Giants 13 to 2.
The 1910 Athletics trimmed the Cubs,
IL to 5. The Giants rolled up IL runs
against the Red Sox in 1912 and the
Red Sox of 1903 did likewise against
the Pirates of that year.
Every game in 1905 was a shutout.
The Giants won the first to 0. The
Athletics took the second to 0. That
was the only game they won. The
Giants took the next three 9 to 0, to
0, and to 0.
There has been six extra inning

Tigers played to a 33 tie in IL inn

TO HELP ALL INTERESTED

How to enable the farmer to pet a
little more for his product at the same
time supplying it to the consumer for a
little less than ne now pays. is a preh-
lem that the postofi~e department is
investigating. The investigation is
provided for in the appropriation bill
which calls for three or more separate
demonstrations of the efficiency of the
parcel post system in distributing farm
products among consumers, The move
ment Tor the use OF tne parcel post in
distributing farm products was started
by the southern commercial congress.
There are nine parcels that 90 from
the city to the country to one that goes
from the country to the city. The ma
tional association of commissioners Of
agriculture believes that the govern.
ment's mac hinery can be used profit
ably in selling farm products directly
from the farm to the consumer, just as
it is used now to distribute supplies
from mail order eouses to farms.

WOMEN VOTERS FOR WILSON

While some women suffrage leaders
of the country are declaring they will
deliver the votes of their sisters to
Candidate Hughes in return for his
vague promises to them, the rank and
file OF women in the states where the
vote has been foisted upon them will
see in the coming presidential election
real opportunity to express their
appreciation for the good offices of
President Wilson in not plunging the
country into war.
The strife in Europe has brought
home to American women the fact
that it is not the men at the front who
bear all the burdens of the war.
These burdens are shared equally
by the women at home. They are
burdens of anxious hours, combined
with physical toll and hardships Of
every description.
The women of the United States,
who have thus far escaped this fate,
thanks to the forbearance of the
President, are grateful. They do not
know what Mr.. Hughes would have
done, but they do know what Mr..
Wilson has done for their men folks
and they will cast their votes In sup
port of hie humane and considerate
action
