More Baseball Comedy.

Speaking of the baseball war and
the latest developments in regard to
a twelve-club league, I can't possibly
see how it can be a success. The old
Federal league with only eight clubs
couldn't get by even with the aid of
it's different angels, namely, Harry
Sinclair at Newark, Charley Weeg-
man at Chicago, Otto Stifel at ST
Louis, and Ward at Brooklyn. Thou
sands of dollars were st by these
promoters and some of the games
were the worst ever seen. A player
would jump from his old club one
day to join the outlaws and the very
next afternoon he would be prevented
from playing any more games that
season by a court injunction. A
league of this kind will kill the pub
lies interest in the national game.
After the White Sox scandal am sur
prised to see Charley Comiskey mixed
up in this kind of a deal. OF course his
old team is wrecked and probably he
figures that he can get some players
away from the other teams to
strengthen his club. Anyway If the
two leagues bid for the services of the
star players with real coin, it should
be very profitable for stars like Cobb.
Speaker, Sisler, Coveleskie and last
but not least the great and only Babe
Ruth.

Homecoming at X. o. saturday.


Lawrence. Nov. IA special eff
fort to maintain an "open door" policy
will be made by the University of
Kansas November 10, the date of the
annual homecoming game with the
Nebraska COrnhuskers. Plans for the
Homecoming provide for the accom-
mediation of 10, 1000 X. U. students and
alumni who are expected back for the
annual classic. Cornhuskers also will
be in evidence as Nebraska has al
ready ordered 1000 seats reserved.
Extra bleachers will be built to ac-
commodate the crowd.
For the entertainment of the re-
fturned alumni there will be a smoker
and reception Friday evening, No
vember II, managed by K. U. organ
izations. Chancellor E. H. Lindley
will speak at the reception and former
students will have opportunity to get
acquainted with the new university
head.
There will be something doing all
day Saturday, the day of the game. It
is planned to have the entire university
open and students on hand in every
building to act as guides to visitors
about the campus and various points
of interest such as museums and art
collections. Saturday morning the
freshman olympics will be staged on
Hamilton field, where the first year
men will battle with the sophomores
to decide whether or not the freshmen
shall wear their special cap during
the spring semester.

advised Capt. Marvin Stevens last

that. and if we can't a few more touch
downs by Washburn surely won't hurt

HARDING BAN|SHES

Anything But Worn Out, He
Plays Golf and Takes
Trip in Launch.

POINT ISABEL, Tex, November 3
(by the Associated Press).-Outward-
iy as carefree as the happiest member
of the little community of fishermen
who are his neighbors here. Presi-
dent-elect Harding began today a va
cation which he hopes will make up
for his loss of rest and recreation
during the campaign.
For the first days outing he planned
for the forenoon test of skill with
rod and reel, and for the afternoon a
golf game at the Brownsville Coun-
try Club. twenty miles away The
same combination is expected to oc-
cupy him during most of the days of
his stay here.
The appearance of the President
elect as he began his vacation was
anything but that of a worn-out man.
Despite long hours and exertion in
travel and public speaking he looked
robust and vigorous, and told the viii
layers he had come more because he
liked the secluSiOn and the outdoor
life than because he needed rest
For his cruises along the coast Mr..
Harding used a launch placed at his
disposal by Gov. Hobby of Texas
He planned to take several extended
pleasure trips in the craft, and may
also take an automobile trip this
week up the Rio Grande valley.
November Is has been selected as
the date Of departure of the Presi-
dent-efect and his party from New
Orleans for Panama, but it is under
stood this date may be advanced to
give NE. Harding a longer stay in
the Canal Zone
