ENTER SHIP YARDS
Monte Decn of Girard First of 1000
to Go From Kansas.

Monte Deem, a resident of Girard,
was the honor man in the campaign
for men for service in Uncle Sans
shipyards. Deem was the first man to
enroll. Some of the remaining 1899
men expected from Kansas have since
enlisted, but Deem stands at the head
in the national campaign.
Assistants are to be named in a
number of towns in the state to assist
with the enrolment of workmen. The
campaign in this state will be in
charge of A. A. Knapp, assistant state
labor commissioner. When the call
came for acetylene and electrical
welders, asbestos workers. black
smiths, boilermakers, carpenters, cleo
tricians and a score of other classified
workers, Deem of Girard was the first
man to enroll. When the enrolment
of volunteers was received by the fed
eral civil service commission in Wash
ington, Deem was the first man on the
list. He will enter the shipyards as a
skilled mechanic

TAKE COMMERCE WORK
Many Normal Students Prepare for
Government Civil Service Jobs.

Emporia, Kan, Feb. 6.-Altho the
total enrolment of the Kansas State
Normal school is 500 short of what it
was year ago, according to W. s.
Bixler. registrar. the commerce de-
partment shows a gain in students
The typewriting classes were closed a
week before enrolment was over
But even then approximately one
eighth of the college and high school
students were enrolled for typewrit-
ing. The shorthand and bookkeep-
ing classes are full.
Many of these students are prepar-
ing to teach commerce, others to enter
government service. l.. A. Parke,
head of the commerce department,
suggests that a comparison of the
government salary schedule with
teachers salaries will explain the rush
on his department. The government
starts civil service employees at S1,1OO
year with a raise of 500 in three
months if satisfactory work is done
Reasonably rapid promotion follows
that. Woman teachers who are col
lege graduates usually start at from
500 to 5000 and men from $500 to
$1,10O.

ONLY ONE COBB !!
No Doubt About His Being
Leading Outfielder.
Speaker Ranked Second, Jack
son Given Third Place.
BY JACK VEIOCK

New York, Feb. 6.-The outfielder
is the heavy artf1leryman of baseball.
He is the lad who shoulders the
brunt of breaking down the fences
and defenses of the opposition. He is
the one who must be fleet of foot in
the field and on the bags, and he must
pick tricky fly balls out of any old
kind of a sky.
In addition to this all an outfie1der
has to do is to trap the short drives,
pick the long ones off the fences, hit
like a pile-driver, run like a swin-six
and throw farther and truer than any
body else.
Out of some sixty-odd outfielders
who earn their sinkers and coffee in
the major leagues there are perhaps
fifteen or twenty who are good enough
for any mans ball club. But there
are, among this number, outstanding
stars.
Only One Ty Cobb.
Every baseball fan, from the small
est urchin to the oldest bleacherite,
agrees that there is only one Ty Cobb,
and that when you have said Cobb
you have expressed the last word in
outfielders. For twelve consecutive
seasons Ty Cobb has hit better than
800. He has always been a great
fielder and base runner and he has
always had a strong throwing arm.
Rating the outfielders for their value
TO a ball club means starting out with
Cobb.
Second among the gardeners is
Tristram Speaker. and no one will
argue long over the selection of Iris
as the rI.lner-up. Speaker is the
only player in his league who ever
ousted Cobb from the batting leader
ship since Ty budded into a star.
Third place goes to Joe Jackson, con-
sistently great as a hitter and a good,
all-around, seasoned player in every
respect.
ROush Ranked Fourth.
Fourth place in the rank, as we
see it, goes to Eddie Roush, a new
found star, who bears all the ear
marks of a player who, like Cobb
and Speaker, will keep going at a
terrific pace for some years to come.
Roush is young, fast, smart a good
fielder and a terrific hitter.
The others have been graded down
from fourth to tenth places. and in
passing mention is made of Max
Carey, of the iPirates; Clyde Milan,
of the Senators, and Bobbie Roth of
the Indians, all great outfie1ders, who
deserve no end of praise and who
were barely forced out of places in
the list below. We have ranked the
outfielderS according to our best
Judgment of the values, as follows:
