the First Christian church on Wednes-
day night to hear Miss Elizabeth Levy,
volllnlst, who was presented in con
cert by William Wallace Graham
Miss Levy is one of Salem s most
talented violinists. She has a keen
technical knowledge of the violin, and
plays with an ease of genius, drawing
out tunes that scarcely ever know dis
cord.
Her programme was delightfully."- ar
ranged and was enhansed with numbers
by Mrs. Kathryn Crysler Street, con
tralto, and Edgar E. Coursen accom-
panist.
Mrs. Street S voice is real pleas
ure, and she evinced a deep apprecia-.
tion of the artistic significance of the
songs in programme arranged with
taste and discrimination. There were
poetry and depth of emotional feeling
in her conception.
Mr. Coursen, pianist, was a most ef-
flcient accompanist.
Here is the programme.

Berlin Knew Days Ahead
of DestrOyers Sailing

Washington, May 25.- Information
that America S destroyer fleet was en-
route abroad was in possession of the
Berlin government for days ahead of
their arrival on the other side-and
sufficiently far in advance of the ar
rival that Germany had the port of ar
rival all mined when the ships reached
there.
The fact became known here today
when Admiral Sims reported to the
navy department that he knew it
positively.
The assumption is that the destroy
ers or the allies saw to it that the
mines were swept aside, inasmuch, as
none of the vessels came to harm.

The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1917-02-06

there is every indication that baseball
will again be a great college sport in
a few years. During the lean years
turnout this part of the west practi-
cally the only schools that have kept
up their baseball are St Mary's col
lege, K. u, K. S. A. c. and Missouri.
st. Mary's college always has had
one of the best school teams in the
whole country and for years the Cath
olics have been in the limelight be-
cause of the professional stars turned
out. At Manhattan Guy Lowman
made a specially of turning out good
ball teams and K. u. has always had
a regular team. But. in most of the
other schools inter-frat and inter- class
games have been about all that have
been extensively promoted The En-
poria Normal school usually has had
a team.
Reports from Columbia, Missouri,
are to the effect that the Tigers are
going in for baseball on a larger scale
this spring than they ever have be-
fore. A schedule of nineteen games
has already been arranged, and pros
poets of the team making a tour of
the south and also a tour of the Orient
during the coming summer have made
many of the students anxious to win
a place on the team.

TO HAVE TRACK TEAM
Washburn IcIlabods VIII Enter All
Available Meets This Spring.

With the day of the outdoor track
meet not far distant, the Washburn
authorities are planning to devote
more attention to the cinder and sod
events this spring than they have in
several years and the school is being
combed for available track material
According to report, there are several
promising stars among the mem bers
of the freshman class and it is thought
creditable showing can be made in
track athletics if more attention is Civ
en- to the sport.
One of the best track men in
school is Bulge, the yearling football
player who broke his arm last fall,
and, altho he has been kept under COW
err some great performances are ex-
pected of him. Bulge created quite
a sensation several years ago in a
high school track meet. Other promis-
ing members of the freshmen class are
Willets, CASTOR and DUNCAN. Among
the upper c1assmen who are exper-
fenced in track work are Champeny,
McCosh, Heller, Hope and Perry.
The IchabodS plan to take part in
the following meets this spring: NJ. V.
meet at Ames, May Is and 20; State
meet, May 90; dual meet with Baker,
date not set; K. S. A. c. meet, March 2 +;
K. c. A. c. meet, at Kansas City,
March 3.

BACK To IT'S own
College Baseball Is Regaining
It's Old Popularity Again.
Missouri Team May Make Trip
to Japan During Summer.

There can be no daubt but that base
ball is coming into its own again as
a college sport, especially in the west
Indications of its revival are seen on
every hand and many schools that
have not had regular teams for a
number of years are making prepara-
tons to put mines in the field his
spring Among them are Washburn
c-llege and the University of Ne
braska.
The revival of Washburn college
baseball, if it is revived, will BE- due
to the removal of the Western league
franchise from Topeka. For the last
few years it has been impossible tt
make college team pay a the Icha-
bod school because all of the local
interest was centered in the Savage
club. The students themselves even
seemed to prefer the professional
brand of ball.
But many of the athletic men at the
college believe it will be very easy 20
make a team self-supporting this
spring without the old opposition and
there is little doubt but that an effort
will be made to have a team that will
play regular conference schedule.
Nebraska to Have Team.
Definite announcement has been
made in Lincoln that the University
of Nebraska will have regular base
ball team this spring for the first time
IN eight years. The Huskers have
been paying no attention to baseball
because of a Missouri Valley confer
ence ruling affecting summer playing
but the modification of this ruling has
made the authorities feel that it will
he worth while to devote their time to
the great national pastime.
Time was when baseball was as
strongly entrenched in colleges and
universities as football and basketball
now are. In fact, it might be said
thai the schools CT the country made
the game what it is today. But as the
professional leagues became stronger
and stronger and the game became SO
popular that good players were greatly
in demand the college stars soon found
that they could earn more money duc-
ing the summer months playing ball
than doing anything else. Then the
question of professionalism sprung up
and such a fight was made over the
playing of students for money that
most schools decided the only solution
of the problem was to drop the game
entirely.
Many Kept Teams.
Many schools did this, and there
are many that still have no teams But

JENNINGS PICKS GIANTS

Hughey Jennings picks the

Jennings says that with the club
McGraw has to begin the season,
the New York team will have a

clubs. The Giants, as they finished
their record breaking run of TWEEN

easily outclass all the other Ma
