TO MARK OLD GRAVES
Hays Normal Students Will Conn
memorate Early Military Cemetery.

Hays, Kan, Dec. 1S.-Pageantry
was used in depicting the early life of
Old Fort Hays in a program at the
Fort Hays Normal school, with the
purpose of interesting the students of
the school in marking the historical
spots surrounding Hays.
The spot on which Gen. George a.
Custer encamped, known as Clusters
island, has already been marked with
a large monument, and the plan is
to mark the Military cemetery with
suitable markers. Rome, the town
started by Buffalo Bill Cody and later
absorbed by Hays, the old fort, and
other places of historical interest, will
be marked in a like manner. The af-
fair will be a student enterprise, the
students furnishing the labor and the
material. The Normal school will con-
struct a drive leading from the school
to these points.
The Military cemetery, long since
abandoned, will be reconstructed, and
a monument forty feet high and TWEEN
ty feet square at the base will be
placed in the center with four smaller
markers of the same design at the
corners.
The necessary statistics have been
secured from the war departm ent to
assist in locating the graves. Each
grave will be marked by stone, with
the name of the deceased, his rank,
and date of death engraved upon it.

Others consider it another German

Germany is able to march on from

all this sudden magnanimity?

as the fall of Warsaw, the entrance
into the lists of Bulgaria, Turkey and

shouted their opinions across No Man S

notes across to the French and British

All is now changed. Possibly it is
to be attributed to a never ceasing rain
of British shells, which for some time
now have been bursting volcano-like
about them, killing, manning and
burying the Germans in the mud of
their trenches.
"knockOut" Sentiment Here
If peace seems imminent, Germany
looks quite the contrary from this side
of the lines.
England seems prepared to fight

There is apparently no likelihood
that she and her allies will agree to

says she wants peace.

Slippery Pavcments Here.

Kilmaurs King, agent for the Fos-

city commission to place sand boxes
on all the heavy grades in Topeka.
Also the city commission has been
criticised for flooding the main streets
of the city during freezing weather.
1t is charged that horses, slipping on

at the present time with the ice on the
pavement no thicker than glass, heavy
shoes on horses are of no avail. Hence
the request for sand boxes and shovels
placed on all grades. With the sand,
drivers with horses down or wishing
to keep the animals from falling, can
in short time avert any danger of
injury to their animals
Mr.. King also urges drivers. during
freezing weather, to wrap gunny sacks
around the feet of the animals. The
sacks aid fallen animal to get on his
feet.

STAR BALL PLAYERS WILL
STILL RECEIVE GOOD PAY

Much of the talk regarding big
slashes in the salaries of players
in the major leagues should be TAX
en- with the proverbial grain of salt
1t is true that major league club
owners who were forced to pay sal
aries which were exorbitant because
of the war with the Feds, will make
some cuts where time contracts
have expired. They may also make
commensurate reductions in cases
where they believe ball players
have been overpaid, but the real
stars of the game will continue to
draw down good money.
Any time a ball player proves to
be a big drawing card he will be
able to demand a big salary, and
the future star who is sure of his
ability will probably decide that a
one-year contract is the best for
him after all.

PLAYERS need IT
The Reserve Clause the Most
Important Thing in Baseball.
Without 1t Leagues Would Not
Be Able to Exist.
BY JACK VEIOCK.

New York, Dec 1S-The new form
of player contract approved at the
Chicago meeting of the national COM
mission is built on the basic founda-
ton of organized baSeball-the reserve
clause.
This was the statement of Governor
j John K. Tener, of the National league,
when asked regarding the new con-
tract, which it is expected, will prove
satisfactory to both players and club
owners, and which will eliminate many
of the squabbles between players and
magnates in the future.
Players Need 1t.
Organized baseball as a whole is
created on the reserve clause. The
players need it as well as do the club
owners, for without it baseball would
be but a disorganized mass of teams,
players and magnates-or promoters
in which a few of the large cities of
the country would dominate because
of their ability to lure the best players
in the game with high salaries.
Without the reserve clause baseball
would resolve itself into a business
where the dollar sign would rule su-
preme, and within a season or two
there would be little use for continu-
ing the various leagues, or playing out
schedules to decide championships. In
other words, the reserve clause alone
is unfolding the craftsmanship and
Cut out the clause and you would
throw baseball back to where it was in
the days of the old Cincinnati Red
Stockings, who met all corners on
percentage basis and played nothing
but free lance ball.
Clause Prevents Jumps.
Think what the dropping of the re-
serve clause would mean to any club
owner, especially the minor Lacquer.
In the minor leagues a club owner
would never know when he went to
bed at night whether or not he would
have a ball club in the morning. Play
ers would be on the jump continually,
and the only teams that could be rea-
sonably sure of their men would be
the teams in the larger cities
The reserve clause means every
thing to baseball. 1t is the key to the
whole organization.

Red Hastings of Pittsburgh.

Red Hastings. the Pittsburgh full
back, looks sure of a place on most
of the All-American selections this
year. Hastings is one of the chief
reasons why Pittsburgh had a great
record the past" season. He is per-
haps not the strongest punter in the
game, but outside of that one de-
partment Hastings has not a su-
perior. His speed and power meant
q great deal to the fast Pittsburgh
boys.
