Everett Hose of Topeka After
an Athletic Home.
Local Wrestler Took HOnOrs at
the Free Fair.
HE IS HUNTING FOR MEMBERS
Club House of From S to 12
Rooms Is Needed.
In 1910 and 1911 He Was We'll
ter Weight Champion.

If the efforts of Everett Hose to es-
tablish an athletic club in Topeka
prove as successful as his work at the
athletic stadium at the Free Fair, To-
peka will have something that 1t has
not had for number of years-a real
athletic club.
Hose has made something of an
athletic record here during the four
years he has lived in Topeka. 1t is his
aim to build up a club of between 800
and 400 members. Hose was a mem
Der of such a club at Coshocton, Ohio.
He is now looking for a suitable loca-
tfon. He says he will need a building
with about eight or twelve rooms.
These will be used for a reception
room, lockers, gymnasium, boxing,
wrestling and other forms of athletics.
Hose picked up most of his athletic
work during four years that he spent
in the navy. In 1910 and 1911 he was
welterweight champion wrestler of the
eastern coast. He was then quartered
at Norfolk, Va. He received some
training from "Americus," the last
man to wrestle with Frank Gotch
This morning he went to- the city hall
to learn about license to operate
such a club. He is now looking for
athletes who are experts in various
lines in order to engage them as in
structors. He is asking all young
men who would be interested in such
a club to leave their names and ad-
dress at the Mission pool hall, which
he is now using as headquarters.

ROMANCE AND PATHOS
Experiences in Gulf Storm Rival
Tales of the s'Movies."

Corpus Christi, Tex, Sept. 20.-Ro-
nance and dramatic thrills, rivaling,
tales of the movies are found in
the experiences of many storm sur
vivors, only now being recounted as
communication is restored with points
where they were rescued. There is
romance and pathos, too, in the pass
ing of some of the storm victims, as
in the case of the death of Capt. and
Mrs. B. NJ. Egeland. not far from the
army rest camp site where Captain
Egeland was in command.
With two soldiers, Captain Egeland
and his wife had started wading thru
the rapidly rising water, Mrs. Egeland
wearing the only Hfebelt available, ac-
cording to accounts given by persons
declared to have been near. All were
bound inland from North beach.
Captain Egeland, when the water
got beyond their depth, was so IA
tigued he was unable to keep afloat
and seeing his plight. his wife tore
away her life preserver, placed her
arms about him and together they
were swept out in the bay to their
death. Both bodies have been recov-
cred and two officers left today for
Sinton, Tex, to disinter that of Mrs.
Egeland, which will be sent to her
home in Webster, S. c.
Miss Anita MulIaIy, daughter of the
JuQSe dL lex, was car
ried four miles across Nueces bay by
the tidal wave and finally dumped
down on sandbar on the shore near
White Point. About her neck she had
suspended a purse containing S270.
She removed this. then relapsed into
semi according to the
account of her experiences. Two
searchers found her and as one
reached for the purse IN search of
clue to her identity. as they thought
her dead. she opened her eyes and
with a weak that's mine," seized the
purse.
Miss Mu1laly was carried to a near
by house just a few minutes before a
giant wave washed away the bar that
had been her refuge. Miss Mullaly's s
aunt. Miss Margaret MulIaly. sister of
Judge Mullaly, was drowned. Until
now there had been some confusion as
to her identity.
Eight soldiers who had drifted on
RATS and wreckage for miles during
the storm ard suffered severely from
EXP osure and hunger since. were
brought here tonight for medical at
tention. They were members of Com
pany I, Thirty-seventh infantry. sta

sta rting the game would be. All that
could be said was that Kalama would
be in charge of the ball at center; Bill
Davis would be in the keystone posi-
tion of quarter; Juneau and Williams
seemed to be the pick of Saunders
for the ends; Mori and Hood at tackle;
and Kipp and Large at guard.
In the backfield there are four
likely starters: Hamilton, Anderson,
Banks and Murdock. OF these four
Hamilton has little the edge owing
to his forward passing ability.
No dope on lineup or anything
else has come from the soldier camp.
The strength or the weakness of the
army team is a matter of conjecture,
and it was quite evident that nothing
in the nature of advance information
would be had on the Funston team
until that aggregation lined up for the
kick off this afternoon.

The Main Faults of Golfers.

During the recent amateur cham
pionship at Pittsburgh I was fan
ming with a noted professional golf
er who has developed some of the best
players in the country AID in the
course of our conversation 1 asked
him what he regarded as the princi-
pal faults of golfers. His reply coin
cided in most respects so exactly with
my own observation, that 1 believe
our opinions will be of interest and
possibly of assistance to players of the
royal and ancient game.
1t is surprising how many players
lose confidence in making their shots
and this is especially true on the

much for the fault of Cooking up"
before hitting the ball that most of
them are getting calloused to this par
ticular criticism and disregard it.
There is really only one remedy for
this fault and that is practice. Some
writer on golf has made the point that
there are two kinds of golf practice
mental as well as physical. This is
true. If your eyes are looking at the
ball but your brain is thinking about
watching its flight you can't get the
best results.
And when practicing mentally and
physically it is well to practice alone
and not give in to the natural desire
to play in company and hence in COM

THREE MEN FOR EVERY PLACE.
Aggie Coaches Have Problem I'm Sc
Iecting Varsity This Year.

Manhattan, Kan, Sept. 20.-Aggie
football mettle will have its first trial
when the Farmers meet Baker uni
versity at Manhattan, Saturday, Sep
tember 27. The varsity eleven played
a practice game with the freshmen
the Saturday previous when Coaches
Clevenger and Schulz had an oppor-
tunity to size up material.
The problem of picking a team from
fifteen former Aggie letter men and
some forty eligible men returned from
military service this fall is puzzling
the coaches. There are at least three
good men for every position. The job
of selecting back field men falls to
Clevenger; the fate of line men will
be decided by Schulz.
The coaches are not over confident
about the Baker game. Baker always
has given the Farmers a good battle,
and this year of readjustment finds
the Aggie mentors ready-to expect
anything. The schedule. following the
Baker game. includes games with

change in their mental attitude and
with it an improvement in their play.
Another very helpful hint is 10 secure
the services of a professional for a
time. He will oftentimes locate a lit
tie fault or mannerism of play and
moreover the mental effect of being
under his guidance itself restores con-
fidence.
Swaying the body in advance OF the
arms is another fault common to
many golfers. 1t results in spelling
the timing of the swing and this loss
of body control produces a great deal
of slicing or hooking. I believe that
the average golfer will overcome this
body swaying, if he will make his
shots as simple as possible. doing most
of the work with the hands and arms
while on longer shots put the Sespon-
sibility up to the arms and the club
and not put the body into it quite so
much. Unnecessary lunging and
twisting of the body is the worst pos
sible fault in timing. If the player has
these faults fixed the quickest way to
cure them is to get the services of
professional for a while.
Most golfers have been rebuked so

there was no 1ink, and he felt like an
interloper.
IF you're writing to her, just say I'm
very much obliged" he said rather
huskily. 'Td rather have had those
cigarettes than anything, just when
they were handed to me-"
"Oh, then am glad" cried Tolnette
eagerly. "She wanted to send you
socks; remember, mamma? And | said
no, no 20 send the cigarettes. And also
| wrote the message because Marie Is
very, very shy, and never would she
have any romance at all unless some
body sent 1t to her. So / thought l
would find hero for her, but she
found him herself, after ALL"
The sergeant drew deep sigh or
relief Madame was smiling at him and
hurrying to prepare tea. Before he real
lied it he found he was at his journeys
end and was occupying the seat OF
honor at the Lemaire table, and the
decoration lay beside Toinette's plate.
He told them of his long search for
the sender of the gift, and of his lone
liness in New York.
IT'S all right to get welcomed back
with whistles and flags, but see you'd
give anything TO have somebody who
belongs to you that really cares that
you're back" he said earnestly, and
the flush rose to Toinette's cheeks as
she assured him they were very, very
glad to see him, and he must make
their little home his headquarters now,
If only to let them make up to him for
the loss of Marie.
But when Toinette went to the outer
door with him after a long visit of
hours he spoke to her bluntly.
after you've lived from day to day
you don't take any chances on losing
any happiness that may come your
way, Miss Toinette, and want to tell
you right now that if you let me keep
on coming up here, it's at your own
risk"
"Oh, but I do not understand,
please" pleaded Toinette, laughlngly,
as he tried to take her hand.
Don't your That's why I'm explain
ing to you. I'm not bit sorry your
sister married the captain, and | want
TO know if you'll wear that decoration
for me until I can persuade you to
change it to something else? Otherwise
I'll stop coming any more"
"Please," Toinette drew deep
breath for courage, "please, you must
come for luncheon tomorrow. And for
dinner on Sunday, you know. IL will
wear the decoration for Marie's sake"
"Then you'll wear the other for your
own" promised the sergeant blithely.

Mental Alarm Clock,

We have in our brains a little alarm
clock. Just as we often set that mem
tai alarm clock to wake us up at GER
tain hour, it can be set to remind US
to do or not to do certain acts next
day. Before going to sleep one says
to the alarm clock: "If anything hap
pens to make me lose my temper to-
morrow | want you to remind me to
hang on to It," The thing happens.
The temper is already to lose when
the little alarm clock of ones sub
conscious mind rings up on an inside
telephone and says: "By the way, you
asked me to remind you to keep your
temper" and the odd part of 1t is that
you reply: $50 l did. Thanks" After
that a person would look silly going
back to his rage. There is nothing to
do but cool down.
A little practice with this interior
alarm clock works wonders. 1t acts
like a silent touch on the sleeve from
a wise old friend in moment of rash
ness. $50 slow, go slow. Steady
And one goes slow.-Boston Globe.

Oriuin of the Gas Jet.

A woman's thimble is said to have
been the means of suggesting the first
gas burner. William Murdoch, the in
yentor, first burned the gas simply as
flame from the end of a pipe. One
day in an emergency he wished TO
stop the illumination. Hurrledly look
ing around for something Murdoch
seized his wife's thimble and thrust
1t over the light which was imme-
diately extinguished There was a
strong odor of gas, however, and the
experimenter applied a light to the
thimble, discovering that 1t was full
of holes, through which tiny Jets OF
flame appeared. The importance OF the
result was that the illumination from
those two or three tiny jets was much
brighter than had been given by the
great flare from the end of the pipe.
Acting on the principle which this
chance discovery revealed, he CON
structed what was known as the Cock
spur burner.-Popula Science Monthly.
