is TOPEKA PATRIOTIC?
Citizens Will Be Put to Test at Demon

1t is up to the citizens of Topeka
as to how much of a patriotic demon
stration will be made Tuesday evening,
April 10, when Henry L. Stimson, for
mer secretary of war, and Frederick r.
Coudert, a New York attorney, speak
at the high school auditorium on
Universal Military Training" That
was the statement made today by j.
Will Kelley, secretary of the Chamber
of Commerce. Mr.. Kelley announced
that a dinner would be- held that eve
ming at the Chamber of Commerce and
after the dinner the diners would go to
the auditorium.
A band at Belvue has volunteered its
services for that night and the extent
of the demonstration will depend on
the voluntary offers of various pa
triotic Topeka organizations Admiral

HAVE fine TRACK
Washburn Students Level Oval
and Construct Straightaway.
Girls Will Run in Big InterclasS
Meet April 21.

More than forty Washburn students
were given trench digging experience
Friday afternoon when they were
taken to the athletic field by Student
Manager Baker and put to work on
the track oval which will be used in
all the big meets this spring. The
oval is just a quarter of mile in
length and is being made perfectly
level. Also a 100-yard cinder straight
away is being constructed in front of
the grandstand and jumping pits are
being constructed.
I'VE will have one of the best
track fields in the state when it is
completed" Manager Baker asserted
this morning, land the whole school
will be glad to bring visitors here to
compete on it,"
Interest Is Keen.
Track work is booming much more
than baseball and elaborate prepara-
lions are being made for the inter- class
meet which will be staged April II.
In addition to the various class events
that will be staged, the girls of the
school plan to stage a special 50-yard
dash with a number of unusually
fast" candidates competing.
Elmer Bearg, former Ichabod foot
ball star, is doing a great deal of the
coaching of track men, and he is get
ting out some good material Sam
Stewart, who was captain of last sea-
sons football team, is again in school
and is out for the shot put and javelin
throw. Tiny Sam" now holds the
college javelin throw record.
New Men Promising.
Among the new men who are maxi
ing good showing are Kenneth
Kearns and DOC" Van Horn. Kearns
is developing into a promising pole
vaulter and Van Horn can almost run
to Kansas City and back without taxi
ing a long breath. He will go in for
the Emile race.
Following the inter-clas meet, d
three cornered freshman meet will be
held with the Emporia Normals and
Baker university participating and
then a meet will be held every week
until the close of school.

CYRIL MAUDE

Cyril Maude, with a well selected
company, made his initial bow to a
Topeka audience last evening at the
Grand. He was greeted with a ca
pacity house, which gave him numer-
Gus curtain calls and finally persuad-
ed him to make a curtain speech that
kept the audience in good humor and
proved Mr.. Maude to be a speech
maker as well as actor AS to Grumpy,
the play is a beautiful English comedy
and portrays an 80 year old gentle
man, once famous thruout Great Brit
ain as a peerless criminal lawyer, but
retired and happily absorbed in the
career of his nephew, Ernest Heron.
and his lovable granddaughter, Vir-
ginia. His granddaughter has nick
named him Grumpy from his former
name Andrew Bullivant" on account
of his seemingly sudden RACES, but the
RACES are only put on, and Grumpy
is really a delightful old gentleman,
who hides his real affection for every
body with an affected ill humor be-
cause he enjoys it. Mr.. Maude in his
portrayal of the old gentleman so
years old, captivates his audience
from the start which follows him
closely thru all his little whims and
slant laughter and applause. The plot
of the play is very cleverly carried
thru the four acts and has to do with
the theft of a valuable diamond which
Ernest Heron, his nephew, is carrying
from the diamond mines in South
America to his employers in Londoa,
and how Grumpy does some very
the thief and finally brings about his
hearts desire the marriage of his
granddaughter Virginia and his
nephew Ernest. c., E. L.

BIG STARS TO DRAKE

Des Moines, Ia, March 31.-World' }
Champion Bob Simpson and Challen-
ger Waldo Ames, of Illinois, and
Iowa's best. Roscoe Packer, of Ames,
will be the central figures in one of
the special events at the Drake~relays,
April 81. 1t is possible that a former
holder, of the wofld record may be
in the event, his entry depending upon
his present collegiate standing. Other
hurdlers practically certain to take
part are Burke, of Wisconsin, and
Schienberg, of Purdue, the two men
who compelled Ames to set new
conference record for the 70-yard high
hurdles in the annual indoor Big Nine
at Evanston Saturday night.
Simpson, of Missouri, tie greatest
hurdier of all time, is of course the
central figure in this event. 1t will
be his third appearance on an Iowa
track. He was a member of the Miss
souri, half mile team in the Drake re-
lays two years ago, and probably will
be a member of the same team this
year in addition to appearing in the
special events. Later that same year
he took part in 4 dual meet between
Missouri and Ames and sustained the
only defeat event administered by a
college opponent when Roscoe Packer
climbed over the high sticks and broke
the tape in the lead. Last season he
was the sensation of the year and con-
t1nua1Iy and consistently ran the 120-
ward hurdles in better than world =
marks.

Up TO STUDENTS
TchabOds Must Dig ii They
Want Baseball Team.
Subscriptions for Tickets Are
Coming In Slowly.

If the Washburn college students
want to have a baseball team they
will have to show more than mere en-
thusiasm and will have to come thru
with some coin of the realm by the
first of next week. That is the state
ment made by>J. R. McCosh, president
of the athletic association, who has
taken an active interest in trying to
put the lchabodS on the diamond map.
According to McCosh, the athletic
authorities will not give their Off
cial sanction to the scheme unless
they are given a guarantee that the
team will be self supporting, and in
order to give them this guarantee a
campaign has been raised to sell 500
season tickets for 81 so each with the
understanding that at least six games
will be played on Wasnburn field be-
fore the close of school. Less than
half of the required number of tickets
have been signed for and a big ma
jority of those who have shown
| digging loyalty have been persons
not affiliated with the college.
All Up to Students.
It is felt that it is not right to ask
downtown people to support the prop
osition more literally than the stu
dents do, and if the students do not
next week, the whole plan will prob
ably be dropped and Washburn will
, have to go another year without base
ball.
At the mass meeting of students
held several weeks ago to determine
whether or not an effort would be
made to launch a team, there was
much enthusiasm over the proposition
and all of the students seemed to
think it would be great to have base
ball in a regular way again. For
| this reason, those boosting for the
sport, think maybe the cash responses
have been slow in coming in because
of a scarcity of funds and they ear
nestly hope a change of front will be
presented next week when the last
drive is attempted

ROBINSON MAKES
HIS DODGERS DO
REAL ROAD WORK

Manager Wilbert Robinson, of the
Dodgers, believes that road work is
just as good for ball players as bat
ting and fielding, when properly in
dulged in. During the sojourn of the
Dodgers at Hot Springs, Ark, Robby
told his boys one morning that he
would take them on a wildcat hunt.
The players donned their unis and
were taken seven miles into the foot
hills, where Robby ordered them to
jump from the comfortable seats in
several high-powered autos and waved
them a farewell.
See you at the hotel" yelled Rob-
by, as he left his athletes to hoof it
back over the hills and valleys. And
such a hike is a good days work, as
anyone who has ever been to Hot
Springs will agree.

TOPEKA LOSES AGAIN
Baird Pneumatic Tool Company
Moves to Kansas City,

AT a special meeting of the stock
holders of Baird Pneumatic Tool COM
pany, the stockholders unanimously
ratified the action of the officers of
the compang in merging the 100000
Topeka company with a one-quarter
million dollar Missouri corporation.
It has been generally understood in
the financial district for some time
that this corporation has recently re-
ceived good offers from eastern cities
| to locate their plant. After careful con-
sideration the officers decided to make
Kansas City their headquarters.
The new corporation, the Baird
Pneumatic Tool company of Missouri,
have just purchased plant having
over 27, 900 square feet of floor space
and the purchase includes additional
ground to provide for extensions in the
future
Besides the railway labor saving
| tools and machines now manufactured
| by this com pany, the purchase of the
plant includes one of the finest equip
ed drop forge plants west of Ohio
and the company will be equipped to
do any and all kinds of drop forging.
The general offices of the company
will be in Kansas City, the company's
plant being located at Independence,
Mo.
New England building, F. NJ. Wright,
treasurer of the company stated the
change>~has been made necessary on
account of the increased tonnage
which the company has been securing
during recent months. The Topeka
office will be moved to Kansas City
at an early date. With the new plant
the company will be equipped to han
die over two million dollars in finish
ed products each year..
Employ 100 Men.
The new plant will employ between
seventy-five and one hundred men
and will be one of the largest and best
equipped steel plants in Kansas City.
The legal matters pertaining to the
amalgamation of the two companies
are being handled by James A Nc
Clure of the law firm of Monroe,
Boark Mcclure & Monroe.
Lee Sidwell, William Loewentha1 of
the company and E. s. Truitt of the
banking firm of E. S. Truitt & Co., of

sentatives

The inter-league series that are De-
ing pulled off in advance OF the major
league openings are able to give more
of a line this wear On what may be
expected than ever before because the
teams have been favored with almost
ideal weather conditions in their
training. There has been spirit OF
keen rivalry in the training camps
and the games are producing some
fine baseball.
