ICY" Sherman, of the Lincoln Star,
| is peeved at our Sunflower bouquets
we throw at ourselves. "Cy' heads
one of his pike Pickings'' thusly:
HABIT OF KANSAS TO CLAIM
EVERYTHING" And then he de-
I votes a half column to the claims
that have been made by the K. U. and
Aggie basketball enthusiasts.
| Well, so far, Kansas has a pretty
/ good excuse for claiming everything in
/ the way of Missouri Valley basketball,
thanks to the Aggies. And Merner's
men can give the Huskers an even
break this week and still claim all
honors. However, they don't intend
to give them a thing unless they
have to.
And it must be admitted that Kan
sas has produced some pretty promi-
nent figures in the sport world. Among
/ them may be mentioned the champion
/ horseshoe pitcher of the world, Jess
! Willard, John r. Gentry, Walter john
/ son, Joe Wood, Comiskey. and the first
masked checker player in the United
/ states.
The biggest thing that has happened
in the sport world this week was the
announcement of Frank Gotch that
he had knocked the retired off his
title The announcement carried with
it the implied admission that Gotch
will match his strength and skill
/ against Stecher.
And from now until the time the
two grapplers come together the event
bids fair to be one of the leading sport
! topics all over the United States.
Every man who knows a smattering
| about wrestling thinks he can pick
the winner, and opinion seems to be
evenly divided everywhere.
Those who pick Stecher to win base
their arguments on the fact that he
has youth, agility, a cool head and
the most wonderful scissors hold ever
| developed Those who are on Gotch
claim that his greater experience, his
greater versatility, his wonderful toe
hold and his ability to inflict punish
ment will carry him through in spite
of his age.

basketball team announces that chal-
Ienges will be accepted from any

great shape now and feel that they
can give an interesting entertainment
to any team in the state that wants

Manager Holmes of the Lincoln w.
L. club announces that he wants
new name for his battlers. He says
| Tigers is a bit hackneyed, and that
he is open to suggestions. Why not

lings?
| Johnny Evers says he is satisfied to
stick with the Braves. Well, he ought
to be- He has a contract for 1915
and II, calling for 10000 a year, and
in addition he gets $4,000 more if the
Braves win the pennant, $1,000 more
if they finish second, 1000 more If
they finish third and $500 more if
they finish in the first division.

ted the Same Crimes of Which

The defense which Secretary of
War Newton d. Baker offered for MI.
Wilson's Mexican policies found quick
response from patriotic Americans
but hardly the response Mr.. Baker
could have wished for.
In a speech in Jersey City, the Sec
rotary likened the Mexican revolution
lists to the Continentals who fought
with Washington. He admitted the
Mexicans were a rascally lot, but said
their actions were those of all rebels.
The patriots of the American Revolu-
ton looted churches and drove minis
tiers from them on their famous march
to Valley Forge, he added.
Protest have come from far and
near. The Empire State Society of
the Sons of the American Revolution
met and adopted a resolution con-
demning sin the strongest terms the
unpatriotic language of the Secretary
Of War" Members of the society
were outspoken in their denunciation.
Some declared that unless his remarks
were repudiated at nce by President
Wilson a movement should be start
ed to force the Secretary's resigna-
ton.

The Empire State Society meeting
was in the Waldorf-Astoria. In the
chair was Louis Amin Ames, presi-
dent Of the society, a Democrat, a
stanch supporter of the Administra-
ton and a close friend of Secretary
Baker. He was asked If he had any
personal comment to make on the
action of the head of the Wal De-
partment.
at is all told in the resolution"
said Mr.. Ames. 1.-THE resolution was
passed unanimously, so 1t embodieS
my views"
The resolution follows:
"Whereas, it is reported In The
New York Tribune this morning that
Secretary of War Baker, at a public
meeting held in Jersey City last night,
used the following language rejecting
upon the character of the members of
Washington's army at Valley Forge,
and likened them to the present Next
can re~yolutionists:
"T know that the MeXicans do not
respect American life and property
said Mr.. Baker. I know that they
do not pay their debts, that they are
ragamuffins, that they desecrate
Church property, that their money is
no good and that they are generally
worthless. But people never respect
those things in revolutions. We did
not respect them in our Civil War.
W~ashington's soldiers in the march
to Valley Forge stole everything they
could lay their hands n took the
silver vessels out of the churches and
sold them to buy drink. They drove
ministers out of the churches. Their
money was worthless and they were
just as bad characters as the Next
cans
Resolved, That we, the descend
ants of the patriots Of the Revolt
ton, condemn in strongest terms the
unpatriotic language of the Secretary
of War, and direct that q copy of
this preamble and resolution be sent
to him."
Similar action will be taken by pa
triotic societies all over the country.
