Jess Has Improved.

To those who saw Willard in his
battle with Johnson it appears doubt
full If the kansan is in as fine physical
condition as he was at Havana. 1t
must be taken into consideration. how
ever, that he has trained for a ten
round fight this time instead of forty
five-round contest as was the case a
year ago. Though Willard may not
be as finely drawn as for the Cuban
bout. his condition is excellent and
great Improvement in his boxing and
hitting ability Will more than make up
for any shading off physically from the
form shown in the battle which
brought him the championship.
Today the title holder boxes with
speed and shift. using a number of
swings, iabs. hooks and drives, all of
which he can and does start from va
rious positions and angles His foot
work is fast and sure, and he moves
about the ring with the speed of a
boxer under 200 pounds instead of fifty
pounds over that weight.

Charles Jameson is sure to open the
season playing right field for the Ma
tionals. Whether he will ever be sup
planted during the season soon to open
by any of the other outfielders is de-
ridedIy doubtful Jameson looks like
one Of Griffith's best outtielders, and he
is sure to take BARRIERS place in right.
for the latter still needs experience.
Jameson was put at the head Of the
Regulars. batting order yesterday. and
it is likely that he will hold this posi-
tion all during the season. He is a
good waiter, is fast. and can bunt and
hit. In due time he will be able to
work as well with Foster in the hit
ard-run game as did Moeller. it is be-
lieNeu.
There is now every indication that

Welcome Callers.

Captain Alexander A. Lesueur,
who owns a ranch abe it three
miles west of Burbank, accom-
panied by two of his daughters,
made the Review an appreciated
call on Monday. Captain Lesueur
formerly was one of the most in
fluential citizens of Missouri,
and served that commonwealth
for two terms as secretary of
state, discharging the duties of
the Office in a highly creditable
manner. Prior to that time he
was editor of the Intelligencer,
at Lexington, Mo-, and it was
generally conceded that he was
the most able editorial writer in
the state. Captain Lesueur, who
is a veteran of the civil war, is
now approaching the three-score
and ten mark, yet he is still act
i've in body and his mind is
keen and alert. He is very much
interested in the presidential
campaign, being very anxious to
see the country retain President
Wilson in the White House. The
Captain thinks Woodrow Wilson
is the equal of Washington, JEFF
ferson and Lincoln.-Burbank
Review, Burbank, Cal.

Mercy Hospital.
Kansas City, Mo.
November IL, 1916.

Dear Mr.. Editor:
! think that everybody who
reads the Kansas City papers
knows something of Mercy Hos
pital and its efforts to make self
supporting citizens out of little
crippled people, and knows, too,
that Mercy is devoted only to
"Those who can not pay" and
that it has no line of creed or
location. But some of Mercy's
best friends do not understand
that the Hospital Of the Little
People is not endowed-that
last year it cared for nearly
three thousand sick and crippled
children-and that it depends
for its support upon the yolun-
tary contributions of its friends.
This winter promises to be a
hard. one for Mercy hospital, for,
the "Two dollar a day man" can
not now meet the expenses of a
long sickness, and so Mercy's
wards will be crowded by those
who perhaps never before asked
for help. Potatoes and coal and
-four and eggs are very pressing
necessities, and we all know
what is happening to the prices
of all these things.
Mercy begs the Editor to give
room in his columns for this let
ter from it's Corresponding Sec
retary, for, there are thousands
of people everywhere who would
help Mercy Hospital take care OF
its family of sick and crippled
children if they only knew that
this call for help is very earnest
and very, very real.
Sincerely, y
Mercy's Secretary

New Mexico, Mississippi and

Of the five American dread

day by the Navy Department.
They are the New Mexico, Miss

Other vessels building for the
navy include nine destroyers,
twenty-nine submarines and sew
eral fuel and supply ships. Three
destroyers are almost finished,
five are about half completed and

gun. Thirteen submarines are
nearly completed and the others
are from one-fourth to one
third finished.
Three battleships and three
destroyers are being built in
Government navy yards. The
name of the armored cruiser
Maryland will be changed on
December / to Frederick, after
a city in that State. One OF
the four new battleships will
take the name Maryland.

WASHBURN COMES FRIDAY
Last Game Of Season on Home
Grounds. A Good Game
Assured.

The Washburn Freshmen and
Wentworth will stage a football
contest on Friday, beginning at 8
o'clock. This game will be the
last on the home grounds this
season, and, no doubt one of the
best. Wentworth is fast mould
ing into a pretty nifty machine.
While Capt. Racely has not had
the best of material to work
with, he has shown what consist
ent and intelligent effort may do
when the spirit is there. Went
worth has never lacked in spirit
and when the boys have been
properly instructed, they are
about as dangerous an aggrega-
tion as could be imagined. Wash
burn will probably outweigh the
cadets and may defeat them,
but before the game is over,
they'll imagine that they have
somehow gotten into a hornets
nest.

HOTEL RATES ADVANCE.
Must Follow the Trend or Go
Broke, Hotel Men Say.

Perhaps no business under the
sun is as quickly effected by
the high cost of labor, produce
and other commodities as the
hotel business. Yet the hoteI
men are among the last to raise
their prices to offset the adj
vance in materials used in their
business. At a recent meeting
in Moberly of the hotel men of
Missouri, it was agreed that the
prices must and would be adj
vanced on November 18th, from
$500 to $3.50 and $500 per day.
Representatives from all the
principal towns in Missouri, in
cluding our own genial hotel
proprietor, D. C. Morris, were
present and concurred in the ad-
vance.
Next Monday and Tuesday the
Missouri-Kansas-Oklaho Ho-
telmen's Association meets in

WENTWORTH ID;
INDIANS 13
Indians Come Strong in Second
Half But Fail to Win.

The game Saturday was any
body's game until the final
whistle blew. The cadets went
to work with a will right at the
beginning and scored seven
points before the indians be-
came aware that they were up
against a team just as strong
as they were. The first half
ended with the cadets Z to the
good.
The second half told a differ
ent story. The Indians scored
two touchdoYns, but failed to
kick one goal. The cadets in this
half negotiated a second touch
down and kicked goal. Final
score: Wentworth Ia; Indians
13.
