NEW SWIMMING POOL
GOING IN AT BUHI
Westend City Finds Present Pool Too
Small and VIII Greatly Enlarge 1t
at Once.

Plans are under way for the con-
struction of a new swimming pool on
the land just below the present pool
in the city park says the Buhl Herald.
The new pool is to be about twice as
large as the present one, and contain
about two acres. Two hundred and
twenty dollars have already been rails
ed by voluntary subscription and it is
expected that twice that amount in
addition will be given during the next
week.
J. NJ. Burkett, city engineer in the
absence of Captain Hazard, made
survey of the ground, according to the
plans of Jess 0. Eastman, who is
chairman of the swimming pool COM
mittee. All subscriptions are being
made to Mr.. Eastman, who will have
the general supervision of the new
pool. The bottom and sloping banks
are to be surfaced with large flat
stones, over which cement will be
spread to make the bottom smooth.
1t is not the intention to remove
the present pool but to use it as a
settling basin. The skillway is ar
ranged so that the water runs off the
surface, which will warm the water
considerably before entering the sec
ond pool The general plan contem-
plates building new dressing rooms
for both men and women.
An observation of the number who
visit the present pool each evening
after working hours, revealed that
fully 800 were there between and
o'clock. About half of this number
went into the water The rest were
onlookers. Several farmers came in
from the country to take plunge, one
from a distance of three miles.
The use of the pool is free to any
one who wears a bathing suit, and az
increasing number of men from the
country are using it.

LOOKING FOR PRESIDENT.
New Continental League Wants Strong
Man to Handle Its Affairs.

Springfield. Mo, March 3.-John G..
Perrine, old-time second baseman, who
is promoting the organization of the
Continental League, announces that a
meeting will be held at Joplin on
March 5 at the keystone hotel to COM
plete the organization with election of
officers, and to adopt playing sched-
ule, etc. The plans have made such
progress that the league is sure TO go
through and with the list of men in
terested in the various clubs il should
be a success If properly differed at
headquarters.
1t is hoped that William G. Armour,
late manager of Kansas City, will ac-
cept the presidency and that would
mean the best sort of administration of
the leagues affairs, for there is no
more capable or honest man in the
game than Bill Armour.
While it is hoped that Bill Armour
will accept the presidency, there are
other candidates for the office in case
he does not. Among them are DR.. D.
NJ. Shively, who needs no introduction
hereabouts and concerning whom the
public has divided opinions; K c.
Davenport, sporting editor of the Jop-
lin Globe; and Arthur Killick, sporting
writer on the Kansas City Star.
1t is planned to open the season of
the Continental about May Is and
close Labor Day, playing a schedule of
about 100 games.

ketban team closes it's season at ST.
Marys. If there is anything in the
law of averages, the Ichabods should
win.
Inasmuch as the Washburn night
mare will be a dead one after today,
and inasmuch as it i'll becomes the
living to speak disparagingly of the
unholy dead, a wheeZe or two on the
Washburn situation may be in order.
In the first place it might be point
ed out that when the final play is made
in this afternoons game, the Ichabods
can look upon the future without
fear or trembling. Having made the
poorest showing that any team could
make they can take consolation in
knowing that nothing can ever be any
worse.
And almost any Washburnite will
look you sQuarely in the eye and tell
you that nothing can ever be as bad
again, because in the face of all and
everything the fighting Ichabod spir-
it, has survived and the whole college
is united in the determination that
such a season as the past must never
recur.
AS to why the team was unable to
make a better showing, it matters lit
tie now The all-important thing is
to remedy the defect, whatever it was,
and with all of the school determined
to do this the future is undoubtedly
brighter than it appears on the sur
face.
And if the overwhelming defeats of
the present season have been instru-
mental in arousing the faculty and
student body into taking steps that
will completely eliminate the existing
is
come from the big failure than could
possibly have come from a mediocre
season, made more endurable by a
passable showing.
And just one more wheeze before
passing up the subject, in which an
old football star of the Ichabods may
be given due credit for his manful eff
forts to put the team in the running.
This man is Art Champeny, who man
aged the team. The faithfulness and
the logged determination with which
Champeny has worked entitle him to
all the credit he can receive, and the
fact that he was able to hope for, pre-
dict and fight for a victory to the very
last shows that he is made of the kind
of stuff all men admire. Despite the
fact that he has not been a regular
player, there is little doubt that
Champeny has been largely instru-
mental in keeping the men at the fight
when fainter hearts have been ready
to give up and quit.
Thursday was a pretty rotten golf
day, but it was not gloomy enough to
keep Earl Trobert from feeling proud
of a record he made a few days ago, or
to keep E. A. Thrill from predicting
that there will be many players out in
a few days now

AN UNEQUALED RECORD.
Bethany Five Won is and Lost Only
3 Games This Season.

Lindsborg, Kan, March 3.-Bethany
closed its successful basketball season
here by defeating Baker university
40 to 26. The game was faster than
the one on the previous night, when
much roughness was in evidence.
Baker was determined to breka Beth
any's string of victories and the lat
ter team was equally intent on max
ing a clean slate of the home season,
which ended in a blaze of glory.
Bethany has played a schedule of
eighteen games, ten on the home
court and eight on foreign floors All
the home games were victories and in
the eight away from home five were
wins. The season stands at fifteen
victories and three defeats, a record
probably unequaled in Kansas college
circles this year
