STUDENTS TO FARMS
Two Washburn Men Give Up Studies
to Follow the Pillow.

The call of the farm has been heard
by two Washburn students this week.
Ralph Pettis of Wathena. and Clay
Baker, of Leroy, have both left the
college for their homes where they
will help in the spring planting Three
more students appeared before Dean
D. L. McEachron this morning and
will probably leave at the last of the
week.
Full credit for their school work
will be given the farm recruits, pro-
vided they are doing passing work
when they leave the college. Only a
few students will leave. according to
the faculty. Work on the WashburD
land and military drill will more than
likely satisfy the patriotic desires Of
the men students.

Yankees Win
And Lose as
Curtain Drops
Athletics Capture First Game
but Go Down to Defeat
in Second Contest
By Charles A. Taylor

The Yankees made a strong hnish.
They won the last game OF the season
yesterday, by'a score of 8 to z, the
Athletics being on the losing end.
Connie Mack had the satisfaction, how
ever. of seeing his boys capture the
first contest Of the double-header by
the count Of to /.

get into uniform on this inauspicious
occasion, directed his men from various
boxes in the garb Of an ordinary fan.
Bill first settled down in box back
Of the screen, and then, as the sun
moved, Bill moved. for it was very
chilly at the Polo Grounds.
Youngsters on Mound
Two youngsters performed on the
mound in the first of the two encoun-
tiers. Naylor was Comics choice and
Piercy was the pick Of Donovan. Both
showed considerable skill in tanning the
batters until the eighth inning, when
Percy did some cracking under the
strain after two men were out.
McInnis singled, Shannon. Connie 3
new shortstop, walked, and both
crossed the plate as the result Of safe
blows struck by Grover and Picinich.
Wild Bill vainly inserted two pinch
hitters, Gilhooley and Hendryx, in the
ninth inning.
TIE outcome of the second game also
was decided in the eighth, but this
time the Yanks did the deciding. The
pitching was done by McGraw and
Mogrdge for the Yanks, and Myers for
the Athletics. Walter Pipp began the
eighth with a single to centre field
Lamar followed up the attack with q
safety TO right, on which Pipp made
third, despite Jamieson's fine throw
IL was close call for Wallie. Lamar
in the meantime had dashed TO second
Wick doubled &c left, Bodie making a
rather feeble effort to hold the blow
into single. Pipp scored and Lamar
reached third. Chick Fewster walked
filling the bases. A long fly to Bodie
by Nunamaker Tailed Lamar.
Shoestring Catch by Lamar
The fielding features OF the closing
battle were the double play by Nuna-
maker and Ward in the first inning
and a shoestrIrg catch Of Sharman's
ow liner by Lamar in the fourth frame
There were about thousand fans in
the stands and bleachers TO bid the
Yankees goodby until next year.
