SUNDAY LAZY DAY up TO topeka Lad
X. g. Depends Upon Camp
bell to Defeat Tigers.
Jayhawkers Working Hard for
Annual Meet March IL.
BY PAUL BRINDEL.

Lawrence, Kan, March Whether
Kansas will defeat Missouri March II
in the annual Convention hall meet in
Kansas City, will probably be deter
mined by the final ten days of train
ing which the Jayhawker squad start
ed Monday afternoon.
With all hopes of a walkaway VIC
tory gone the Crimson and Blue squad
is now working for any kind of a vic
tory even by one point. "A tough
meet with the breaks favoring Mis-
souri," is the way Coach w. o. Ham
iIton looks at it.
Desperate efforts to develop Ire
weeke and Winn, the two most prom
Using high hurdlers, into possible
point winners, will continue to be the
big item on the coaching program.
With a pair of seconds in the high
and low hurdle events, the Tigers
would be prevented from making a
clean sweep, and the Kansas chances
of winning the meet improved consid-
erably.
Relay Big Event.
AS in the former years, both Coaches
Hamilton and Patterson, expect the
relay, the final event on the program,
to decide the meet. With everything
doped so closely, the K. U. coaches
are sure that neither team will have
enough of a lead at the end that the
five point relay victory won't over
come.
For the first time in several years,
Topeka will have a representative on
K. U. team. The Kansas coaches are
putting great dependence upon Joseph
"Humpy'' Campbell, the former Tope-
ka high school athlete, in both the
quarter and relay. Campbell is sure
to run in both events and many pre-
dict that if Kansas is to defeat
Niedorp and Wyatt the two Tiger
quarter milers, it will be Campbell
who Will have to do it. Campbell's
quickness in getting off the mark is
expected to shatter any plans the Tig-
er coaches may have in boxing the
K. U. quarter milers as was done last
year

ANOTHER Ex-FED
Savages Get a New ShOrtstOp-
Third Baseman.
Sale of Boxes Begins; Dillon
Gets the First.

The office of John Savage, Topeka s
baseball magnate, is taking on a puSl-
ness buzz and hustle these days that
make it look like a real baseball head
quarters and Savage, together with ms
stenographer and secretary have CIV
en- up their banking hour habits and
are hitting the ball early and late In
making preparations for the beginning
of the training season.
The sale of box seats for the season
was begun Monday and H. P. Dillon,
Topeka's millionaire fan who is one
of the most regular attendants at the
home games. was the first to make a
reservation. All those who held boxes
last season and want them again are
requested to notify the office at once.
Also, those who want the pick of the
offerings are advised to make their
applications early. In addition TO
selling boxes, the office force is busy
getting bids on the printing of score
cards and disposirg of the fence ad-
vertisements.
LATHE Here the 18th.
So anxious is Savage to get things
started that he has just notified Man
ager baltimore to report here on the
10 of the month instead of the 20
as was previously planned. Before
baltimore arrives. it is probable that
Bugs Grover, Animal Dashner and
Squire Higgins. the three pitchers
who are already here, will begin get
ting their arms in shape, if the wealth
er permits.
In the latest communication from
Manager baltimore, the new Topeka
boss informed Savage that he had
signed Cliff Daringer. an ex-Federal
league shortstop and third baseman
who is said to be a classy performer
on the infield.
In 1913 Daringer was with the KAN
sas City Federals, but the records do
not show the performances of the Fed.

flee does not know what he did. In
1914 he was with the same club, play

From Three-I League.
81, Last season Daringer was in the
Three 1 league where he played sec
ond base for the Dubuque and Free
port teams His batting average for
the season was .26S.
The signing of Daringer gives the
Topeka club a total of % players, and
Savage announces that at least five
of these will be put on the market
within a short time. Just who the
men for sale are is a matter that Saw
age refuses to make public, but it is
understood some of them are mer

All of the men have been paired off

mated. In this way the players will

SCHOOL BOARD MEETS,

Little Rock, Nov. PA conference
of the board of education was held
Thursday to discuss prospective legis.
lation by the next general assembly.
1t has been the policy for some time
for the educational interests of the
state to decide upon a program of
several of the most needed things,
and devote the attention to the oc-
complishment of those things.
Among the matters considered were
county superintendency, county board
of education, state aid to high schools.
and the payment regularly Of interest
on the common school fund, each
year. Unless this is done, especially
with the bonds held to the credit of
the university, the state will forfeit
the $4,000 annually that comes from
the Morre]l fund.
No definite action was taken on any
proposition, and another meeting will
be held in December. The members
attending the meeting were Messrs
Bradham, Pickens, Kuykendal, Fut-
rail-, Bond, Anderson and Cook.
