We are printing a letter from a
Rossville baseball fam and perhaps
after Cap Wells reads it, he will feel
like taking the boys on for a battle.
To the Sporting Editor:
A few days ago you published an
ing more loyalty for the Santa Fe APP
prentice team in their games.
Captain Wells when told that the
fans wanted them to take on the Ross
vile team again stated that the fans
were not running his team Where
does the team get its support If not
from the. fans? The writer hasn't
anything gainst the team as it is COM
posed of fine bunch of fellows but
the attitude of the captain is not what
it should be. To date the Rossville
team has played Is games and lost
but one, that one with the Apprentice
team. This was one of the best games
played in the league park this sum
mer. Rossville outhit and outplayed
the Apprentice team. In the ninth
inning the score was 10 in favor OF
Rossville Next inning the apprentice
boys scored 2 runs and won the game.
This was such a close game that the
fans in general asked for another
game RossyilIe got $50 out of that
game, not enough TO pay expenses
Gate receipts were about 1905 The
Santa Fe team offered Rossville 1850
to come again but the boys did not
care to play again unless they got
fair division of the receipts. They
have a. better season record than the

peka. If the Santa Fe team will come

| $50 for a return game and $3.50 more

won't play off their grounds or on

the money. Beloit scheduled a game
with Rossville for SIoo. Rossville will

The 1920 Washburn college varsity
football team played the freshmen
Thursday afternoon on the college
athletic field. The first year men
were defeated by the big leasuers but
not dissraced- The score was 20 to 0.
All of the scores were made in the
first half
The varsity scored a touchdown in
the first half but failed to kick goal.
In the second quarter two touchdowns
and two goals brought the total up TO
twenty. The second half showed the
freshmen playing real football. Time

WANT SCHOOL LAND PATENTS.
Substantial Increases in Values Causes
Heavy Demand in Kansas.

Heavy demands for Kansas school
land patents are being received by the
state auditors office. Altho there is
little school land available. the high
price of Kansas soil has brought an
unusual number of Inquiries during
the last few months. One patent now
being closed was originally sold fifty
years ago.
The substantial increases in KAN
sas land values are responsible for this
situation" said Mort Turner, assistant
state auditor. He then cited a case
from Anderson county where a tract
of land was originally sold June 4,
1870. The patent is now pending. The
land was originally sold at 81 an acre
and has been carried by the state dur

"We have a large balance Of trade

the question. A full discussion was
had. and the latter plan was adopt
ed under unanimous vote because
it held the double advantage of
permitting a greater percentage of

cordingly, the common stock out
standing was increased by vote
from $45.000,o0o to s60,000,000, and
the amount of the increase, viz.

Railroads Submit Statements
On Additional Reuenues Needed

The railroads of the country sub
Commission yesterday statements
showing the amount of additional
revenues needed to meet increased
operating costs. and to adjust their
income to the per cent basis pro-
vided in the new transportation act.
The carriers show that while the
basis of operating expenses, due to
higher wages and increased prices
OF material and fuel has advanced
about 100 per cent. their revenue
basis has increased less than 40
per cent. and that it will require
now to restore the relation between
revenues and expenses an increase
of 20 per cent.
The railroads suggest to the COM
mission that the additional revenue
be gained from freight traffic. leav-
ing passenger rates at the present
level. To provide these increases
to total revenues without disturb
ing passenger rates the carriers
estimate they will require on aver
age increase in freight rates of
about % per cent
Railroads in Eastern territory es-
innate the need of an increase in
all revenues of 21.1 per cent or
3o.4 per cent in freight rates. South
ern railroads propose to advance
ffeight rates by 30.s per cent to
provide 20.7 per cent larger reve-
nues. The needed freight advance
in the West is put at 23,9 per cent
to increase all revenues by II per
