a 27 to 10 victory over the same team

Mcpherson scored nine points on
fouls Magner and KIrke did most of
the scoring for st. Mary's. but Burns
twice registered with beautiful throws
from midfield.
Coach Bearg, of the Topeka high

that is seldom found in officials. Both
sides were repeatedly called for fouls,
but no exception was taken to any de-
cision in any way. Players. manage

MUST SHOW HUG
New Manager Refuses To Be-
Iieve Yanks Rotten Club.
He Will Not Be the Easy Boss
Donovan Was.


New York, Jan. 21.-Miller Higgins,
like all folk from Missouri. has to
be shown
of the Yankees and baseball critics
in some quarters offered condolences
because Hug was going to inherit
poor ball club, Hug said:
How do I know it is a bad ball
club? 'Tis true l have never seen
the Yankees play. but l know from
the regulations of number of play
ers on the team that l will have the
nucleus for a winner They've got to
show me that the Yanks are bad
club.
when We start spring training at
Macon every player is going to start
out on an even basis insofar as get
ting chances to hold down any regu-
lar job is concerned. I'm going to
study every player and l am not
worrying about the results"
Donovan Too Easy.
With all due respect to Wild Bill
Donovan, it seems timely to say that
Higgins, aggressive, scrappy and base
ball wise as he is, should get much
better results out of the Yanks than
did Wild Bill
Donovan was too easy with his ball
players. He was too much of a pal
and had too much of that care-free
spirit Just for that the players-cer
tain ones of them-laid down at times
when they should have been on their
toes fighting tooth and nail to win.
-. With Higgins in the saddle the
Yankees are going to be ridden hard
on the field of play. They are going
to get some new lessons in tactics and
they are going to get a taste of dis
cipline. Hug knows what ball
player should do, because he is one of
the best Judges of players in the big
leagues. He may surprise everybody
with the 1918 Yanks.

MAJ. ELLISON is BACK
Topekan Who Has Been in France
says Allies Will Win.

Washington. Jan. 21.-Maj. Fred A.
Ellison, who has just returned from
France to become war department
representative in the council of ma
tional defense, reports that the morale
of the troops both in camps and at
the front could not be better and that
the discipline that is being maintained
is little short of wonderful.
Major Ellison was sent to France
especially to observe the method of
training men abroad and he visited
every training camp IN both England
and France. He says there can be
no doubt about the outcome of the war
and thai German militarism will be
crushed completely before the allies
lay down their arms. He hopes to re-
turn to France for active service in
the spring.
Major Ellison is former Topekan,
having been reared in this city. He
went to Washington in 1905 and
worked as a stenographer in the war
department. Promotions came to him
rapidly and he came into prominence
when he was appointed private secre-
tary to General Ashire when the latter
was Quartermaster general of the
United states Later he was commits
stoned major and was sent to Europe
with military mission.

Lawrence, Kan. Jan. 21.-Only six
men in the United States are fitted to
carry on the advanced psychological
tests required in the aviation branch
of the American army. DIR. c. F. Dock
cray, associate professor of psychology
at the University of Kansas, one of
these six, has been released for the
period of the war, and this in face of
the fact that this one department has
sent two men into the service. The
department will have to curtail classes
materially for the rest of the year for
lack of instructors.
Doctor Dockeray has been APP
pointed a first lieutenant, and will
leave Lawrence for a large eastern
aviation camp as soon as his commits

of the three men from the department,

Topeka as a whole went over the

This fact was brought out at the
