HAVE BALL team SHOWDOWN SOON
WaShburn to Get on Diamond
Map if Savage Quits.
"A Regular Team May Be Or
ganized This Spring.

Washburn athletic promoters. and
especially Washburn baseball players,
are taking a keen interest in the To-
peka Western league baseball situation
and if John Savage does take his club
to another city, it is probable that the
Ichabods will go in for the diamond
sport on a bigger scale than they have
in years.
College baseball has been pretty
much of a dead issue in Topeka for
the last few years because the athletic
heads at Washburn felt that there was
not enough interest to justify the ar
ranging of a regular schedule. AS a
result, no baseball letters have been
given for several years and no team
has toured the state as the official
representative of the school.
Not Enough Interest.
1t has always been claimed that
there was SO much interest in Western
league baseball that the general pub
lie, and the student body itself. did
not care for the college brand of ball
and would not support it. AS re-
suit, the only kind of baseball the stu
dents have had has been a series of
inter-frat games played every spring.
But, if there is no Western league
team in Topeka, the Washburn au-
thoritieS believe they may be able to
arouse enough interest in a college
team to make it self supporting. There
are a number of classy players in
school, and all of these are boosting
the proposition along. Just as soon as
it is definitely announced that there
Will be no league team here, if such
announcement is made, the matter will
be taken up with the athletic council,
and if this body gets behind it a regu-
lar schedule will be arranged with X.
u, the Aggies and several schools of
the Kansas conference.

New York, jan 25--UnleSS the
merry ''magnuts" grant the requests of
the Baseball Players fraternity before
February 20, the nationwide baseball
strike will be in full swing.

his players to Chicago on that date to

Cubs-will be among the missing AS
the time arrives for other clubs to
start for their camps, they will be con-
fronted by the same situation. The
players will not move.
Players to Stand Firm.
+'Affiliation with the Federation of
Labor was sought to fortify our posi-
ton, but even without it the players
promised to stand firm. Some time
ago l sent out circulars to all mem
bers of the fraternity in an effort to
find out the sentiment of the men. 1
found that they are decided to stand
firm. That they mean business and
have agreed among themselves it is
time for a showdown.

troubles with the league clubs some
