YANKEES GET NO PLAYERS.
Col. Ruppert and Capt. Huston Re-
 turn Homo From Cincinnati.

Colonel Jacob Ruppert and Captain T. l.. Huston, owners of the New York American League Baseball club, returned yesterday from Cincinnati, where they went in the hope of se- curing some new playing talent for their team. So far as actual results are concerned, the Yankee owners trip was without avail, but before the end of the week they may put through @ deal with Harry F. Sinclair for Lee Magee and other Federal league stars
 While in Cincinnati Messrs. Rup- pert and Huston held several confer ences with Sinclair for the purpose of purchasing Magee, who, although q member of the Brooklyn league team, is the property of Sinclair. The Ok lahoma oil man only listened to the propositions offered by the New York CTS, and could not put through any deal, he asserted, until the purchase of the Cubs had been consummated.
 Sinclair promised to come to New York either on Friday or Saturday to confer again with Messrs. Ruppert and Huston, and it Is expected terms will be agreed upon then for the sale of Magee.
 The Yankees are after Bill Fischer catcher of the Chicago Whales, form erly of the Brooklyn Nationals; Flack a promising outfielder of the Chifeds, and Rousch of the same club. Tho Yankee leaders are willing to pay a high price for any or all of these players. Captain Huston is not cer- tain whether they are on the mar ket, for they may be retained by Charles Weeghman for the Cubs.

New York General Rules That Only Members of Militia May Use Buildings
 Albany, Jan. 6.--There will be no public boxing bouts in the Twenty second Regim ent arm ory in New York or in any other armory in the State, according to the reply to the com plaints lodged with the Governor by churches and individuasl in the Wash ington Heights section of New York city. The Governor turned the com pIaints over to Adjt.-General Louis w. Stotesbury with letters from the Washington Baptist Church, the United Presbyterian Church and Sen ator Wadsworth, the latter indorsing a, claim of Congressman Bonnet that boxing bouts in State rmories might hamper the national preparedness movement.
 Gen. Stotesbury investigated and found no public boxing matches had been scheduled for the Twenty-sec- ond Regiment Armory. The regi- ment had secured from the State license for boxing matches, but they were to be intercompany affairs. Gen. Stotesbury finally announced that he would not forbid public bouts for paid admissions, but he had conf1- dence in those in charge of the ar mories, and feels sure there will be none scheduled.

1 Perhaps they are right. They all say that young William Johnston is the rest lawn tennis player America has ever produced. They figure that he should be the logical favorite for the next title campaign. But there is general feeling among those not so closely adjacent to the expert dope that Mclaughlin isn't yet through They still believe he can make one m ore return trip. They believe he will be a good bit better in 1916 than he was last year. Here's hoping they are right. For Mclaughlin has done more for lawn tennis in America, in the way of popularizing a great sport, than any other single entry.
 The Case Of Ouimct.
 Francis Ouimet attained the bulk of hIs popularity just as Mclaughlin did viz, by repulsing a British invasion where the rest of his mates fell in the Albionic charge.
 But Ouimet, unlike Mclaughlin, came back a year later by winning the amateur golf championship.
 It was not until 1915 that the young Boston star slipped and fell from his star-crOWned crest.
 What has 1916 to offer Ouimet? A good deal more than I915 ndQ to O1IGf, unless we wreck one of the easiest gueSSeS now eXtant.
 In our opinion the two best amateur golfers in America are Jerome D. Travers and Francis Quinn et-when match and medal play, variety of shots and temperament are all taken into consideration.
 And we can back up our opinion by facts. Between them they have won two out of the last three open cham pionships and three out of the last four amateur championships. They have won five out of the last seven open and amateur titles. What other amateur has a record which entities him to travel in his class?
 So while 1915 was an off year for. Ouimet, you can pretty well figure upon his return. This doesn't neces- sarlly mean that he will pick up title. He may be dropped while play ing par golf by one of the star crop shoW sweeping into consideration. But

1915 proved well enough that Cali fornia Mac had lost something from his best days. According to George M. Church, part of this slump was due to McLoughlin's service. Mac" says Church, "hits the ball on the left corner in place of the right corner. This shift puts an overwhelming strain upon his stomach muscles, as it isn't a normal method. It was the most effective service I have ever seen, when at it's most, but it was quite evident that such a service could only last so long. The last blow came when Mac met Brookes and Wilding The cannon ball stuff has never been in evidence since"

McLOughlin'S slump stands as one of the queerest athletic turns on record. Since beating Brookes and Wilding in 1914-Where he reached the top-his game has never been the same.
 That same season he was beaten by Norris Williams, but to many this de- feat was merely "one of those things" It was something more. That defeat was prophetic of the shadow gather ing above McLoughlin's game; still fine game, but not the smashing game of old.

Our Two InternationaIists-an 1916
 What has 1916 in view for Maurice Mclaughlin? Just year and a half ago this California Brilliant in the Land of Lawn Tennis has reached the highest height ever known by an American player.
 Just a year and a half ago he had within less than a week overpowered Norman Brookes and the late An thony Wilding, two of the supermen of the game.
 This was a feat unparagoned in lawn tennis play. That was only year and a half ago, and yet Me- Loughlin, still 8 young man, is rated by most of the leading experts with only an outside chance to bag another championship.

 golfer who can hit a tee shot who can play an iron, who can putt as Ouimet can isn't to be throttled for any great length of time. It will take another year or two to bring a. needed steadiness to his game, for the poise of the old campaigner doesn't come and stay eternally with one who is under twenty three.
 Ouimet hasn't quite come to his best game yet. But he has come to game good enough to carry him far and high and to hold him there most of the time
 One example of Ouimet's bad 1915 slump came to mind as we were ex- amln1ng a score card of the East fcur-ball match where Evens and Gardner beat Travers and Ouimet. Tn this eightcen-hole match Ouimet helped Travers on only one hole-the 380-yard thirteenth, where Francis sunk a 3. He was in with a. half on several other holes with Travers but this was the lone spot where his play Was of any assistance. This score alone shoWs how far the BostOnian Was below his normal game. But in 1910 we are in possession of a fine young spiral hunch that Colonel Oumet will be quite different affair.

HAIL AND WIND

A heavy cloud visible from Liberal
was evidence of mischief in the at
mosphere in the vicinity of Plains
last Saturday evening. Recent re-
ports disclose that heavy wind and
hail did much damage over a vast
scope of country in the eastern part
Of Seward county and the western
part of Meade county. In Plains
every cyclone cave was crowded to
the limit and those who remained
outside witnessed atmospheric tur-
moil overhead that would have laid
the town in waste had 1t come to the
ground. A torrent of wind and hail
laid fiat field after field of golden
grain almost ready for harvest.
Scarcely field for miles around was
untouched by the hail and the losses
sustained will range from 35 per
cent to total loss. Comparatively
few were insured.

HARVESTING THE GOLDEN

The wheat harvest is come. A lit
tie earlier than was expected, and
from all indications the yield will be
a little better than was anticipated.
Monday there were hundreds Of
farmers in the city securing new ma
chinery, repairs for the old headers
and securing groceries for the extra
harvest hands which have been en-
ployed. ~
Many of the farmers are as yet
looking for harvest hands. There
were hundreds of strangers in the
city Monday but many Of them were
not anxious for work. They refused
to work for $3.50 day in the har-
vest field, and probably would not
work worth a cent at any price.
The grain men generally say that
there will be better quality in the
wheat this year. If this is true, even
IL the yield should prove less than
last year, the price for the better
grade will mean about the same
profit to the farmer as he had last
year.

CITIZENS CAN VOTE
FOR COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT

Cities can vote on county superin-
tendent at the elections this fall, not
withstanding statute to the con-
trary passed by the last legislature.
The state supreme court has held
this act to be unconstitutional, pro-
hibiting citizens of cities of the first
and second class from voting for
county superintendent of schools.
The court held, according to press
dispatches, that the legislature had
no right to abridge the suffrage of
voters on any office created by con-
stitution. The suit was an applica-
tion for a writ of mandamus against
John Doane, county clerk Of Osborne
county.
Under this decision the county
clerks must include the Office Of
county superintendent on the ballots
printed for first and second class
cities for the election this fall.

DEDICATED ST. ANTHONY

The st. Anthony's church, the new
building recently erected by the
Catholics of Liberal and vicinity, was
dedicated Sunday by the Rt. Rev.
Bishop Hennessey of Wichita, as
sisted by four other priests.
A large congregation attended the
ceremonies and heard the able SER
mons delivered a little later. The
Catholics have very pretty church
and It is a credit to the little con-
gregation that is supporting the in
stitution. There will be regular
church every fifth Sunday and SER
vices at least one week day in the
month. Father Herman will be in
charge of the churches at Fowler and

state for the last 81 years. During
the early days of the development Of
Stevens county he helped in the prog
ress of the, county, and nine years
ago he came to Liberal and made ex-
tensive investment in Liberal prop
erty. He is town builder. Through
all the years Of the city's best build
ing boom he was one of the main
builders and is today building houses
to supply the demand. The Demo-
crat is of the opinion that he has
builded more residences in Liberal
than any other Individual in the city
during the last past nine years. Be-
sides the many residences builded to
his credit, he and his brother own
considerable property in the business
section. He is one of the heavy tax
payers of the city and county. His
years of service in the west, where
the acid test Of man is made If he
lives through 1t all and manages to
make some money and hold friends,
is a guarantee that he is excellent
material for the position Of represen-
tative of Seward county. Mr.. Farm
er has often stated that one Of the
needful things in the legislature was
members who would lessen the num-
ber of laws made and create laws
that must be obeyed, and stop the
practice Of making more laws each
Legislative session and suffer them to
become violated and perhaps never
known to the people at large. One
law obeyed is better government than
a hundred on the statute books un-
noticed, And Mr.. Farmer is not
alone in this idea. The Democrat be-
lieves that Mr.. Farmer will make us
a good representative.
