WASHBURN IL; BAKER z
Ichabods Win First Game of Season
on Home Diamond.

bill" Joerg, Washburn pitcher,
virtually won his own game Friday
afternoon with Baker university. when
he struck out eleven Methodist bats
men in the first seven innings and
batted in five runs, scoring twice him
self. The final score was Washburn
II. Baker 2.
The game, the first home game, was
loosely played, both teams showing
a lack of efficiency in fielding. altho-
the Ichabods were superior in this to
their opponents.
The Methodists started the scoring
with two runs in the third inning, but
their efforts for another tally came to
naught. The third inning was also a
blue ribbon for the Ichabods. Five
runs came in that period, and three
more in the fourth. Altho the game
could not be termed won by errors" -
those same errors made by the Meth
edists aided greatly in the swelling of
the Ichabod score.
The Baker men could not find the
offerings of Joerg. The Washburn
twirler was easily superior to their
efforts for hits. and his tanning of
eleven, men during the time he was in
the box is evidence of his proves.
Anderson, at catching position for the
Ichabods, ably assisted his running
mate. Ream took Joerg from the box
in the seventh inning and Young went
in. His ability as pitcher was shown

mercy of the Ichabod batsmen. His
offerings were taken in good faith. and
batted to all four corners of the dia-
mond. The support accorded the
Baker twirler was not of the best.

new MAT CHAMP
Zbyszko Beats "Strangler"
Lewis in % Min. IL Seconds.
Both Used Rough Stuff From
the Start.

New York, May 7.-Stanislaus
Zbyszko, of Poland. who last night
won the worlds heavyweight wrestling
championship from Ed (Strangler)
Lewis. met defeat on the mat but
fessional career. His shoulders were
pinned by the late Frank Gotch when
the toe hold artist was in his prime.
Zbyszko defeated Lewis in %, min
utes and IL seconds of graphing. He
pinned Lewis with a neck lock when
the stranger fell on his back in an
unsuccessful attempt to apply his
deadlock.
Both men started the bout with
rough tactics, but at the end of 20
minutes neither appeared to have had
an advantage. They exchanged and
escaped from various holds, then
Lewis missed an attempt for a flying
deadlock. His arm slipped over
Zbyszko's neck and the force of his
plunge precipitated him to the floor.
Zbyszko bounced upon him, locked his
arms about his neck and gradually
forced his shoulders down.
Admittedly more than 40 years old.
Zbyszko plans'to meet all challengers.
The veteran Pole has a record of hun
dreds of bouts, and after his defeat
by Gotch he strove for years at the
title. After a lengthy visit in his ma
tive country, he returned here and en-
tered competition. paving the way for
last nights bout by a victory over Joe
Stecher, from whom Lewis wrested
the title.
All of the Poles bouts have been
won by sheer strength. He is consid-
| cred in sporting circles as the most
powerful wrestler of all time.

LETTER FROM G. E. LERRIGO
Former Topekan Tells of Conditions
in China.

ct have just returned from most
interesting visit to the ancient capital
of China. Sianfu. 1t took me seven
days from the end of the railroad
which runs nearly to the border OF
the province of Honan. I made the
journey by mule litter, getting up in
the morning between and 4 O'Clock
each day and travelling until shutdown.
1t was one of the most interesting
experiences that 1 have had in the
whole of my time in China. The
country was very beautiful and it was
hard to believefth a year ago the
people living in this section were suf-
fering from hunger" said George z.
Lerrigo Y. NJ. C. A. secretary in
charge of the work of the association
in China, in letter to N. w. Benning.
general secretary of the Central 7. NJ.
C. A. The letter was received in To-
peka today.
"One of the most interesting things
at Sian, the capital of China. in. the
Chin dynasty. about $50 years B. c.,
is an ancient tablet, known as the
HISTORIAN Tablet, which was erected
about $50 A. D., and which gives an
account of the introduction of Chris
tianity into China at that time. In
the western part of the city are still
to be seen remains of the ancient
Syrian church which was then estab-
from the tablet by means of a process
in which tissue paper is used.
More interesting than the ancient
record of Christianity, however. was
the wonderful opportunity of meeting
the great Chinese Christian general
General Feng Yuk Shang. General
Feng was converted during a meeting
held by DR.. John r. Mott at Picking
in 1912. At that time think he was
only a colonel. He is now the mill
tary governor of the province of
Shensi. He has 10000 men under his
command, and he told me that of
these 10000 men, 5000 are already
Christians and members of the
church. His army is famous because
his men do not rob and mistreat the
people; they pay for whatever they
are compelled to take; they obey or
ders and are under splendid dfsci-
pline."
Lerrigo was formerly general sec
rotary of the Central Y. NJ. c. a.

BURCH'S UNCLE ON STAND
Tend Mentally Deficient He May
Be Used to Prove Accused's Insanity.

Los. Angeles, Dec. 30.-An uncle of
Arthur c. Burch, on trial for the
murder of J. Bolton Kennedy, who re-
sides in San Diego, will probably be
placed on the witness stand by the
prosecution in its rebuttal attack on
the testiin ony of defense alienists that
Burch is insane, it was learned today.
The uncle, whose name has not
been mentioned, was termed mental
deficient" by DR.. Ernest Bryan Hoag.
defense aiienist who gave Burch's
family history to show that his alleged
insanity may have been hereditary.
Doctor Hoag testified he examined
the San Diego man during the inves-
tigation of Burch's case and that he
believed him to have only the mem
tally of a 4-year-old child. He cited
this as an example of an average men
tai soundness of Burch's relatives and
ancestors.
It developed today that District At
torny Woolwine has learned the name
of the San Diego man and would
probably produce him on the stand to
permit the jurors to judge for them
selves whether he is mentally deficient.
Woolwine, according to reports. has
been informed that the man is indig
nant and resentful over Doctor Hoag's
statement concerning him.

President Harding calculated to bear
Importantly upon the solution of sew
eral big problems left unsolved thru
the action of obstructionist nations at
the washington conference, it was
learned on high authority today.
The American plan of campaign
calls for a passive attitude on the part
of Mr.. Harvey as long as the Wash
ington conference remains in session.
At least until the sessions here break
up, he will justify his nominal title of
observer" When the attitude of the
various delegations is irretrievably in
dicated here, however, and the
statesmen at Cannes begin to talk
of European finance, Mr.. Harvey is
expected to have something to say on
the question of international debts
versus international Discrimination to
disarm.
Harvey will have unqualified sup
port of the representatives of Great
Britain. which is no less deeply cha
grined than the United States at the
failure of some features of the Wash

too, will line up squarely behind
Mr.. Harvey. and the message Of the
German contingent is expected to be
of at least negative assistance.

against action by Kansas City, Kan.'
officials in appealing TO President
Harding for aid in the packer strike.
Judge Higgins asserted that the &C
ton was by unfriendly officials favor

At all times, Judge Higgins stated
today the state has been ready to in

Kansas. had escaped the serious effects
of strike conditions. He added that
the court law is preventing a tieup Of
market centers for stoclmen ana
shippers.
The higgins Statement.
n his statement today Judge Hug
gins said:
Reports that the Kansas City, Kan
sas city administration will call upon
the government for aid in the strike
situation simply indicates that the
strikers and other enemies of the in
dustrial law are seeking to discredit
It nothing more. The mayor is Ia
Dor man. was elected as such, and
am informed that some other mem
bers of the city government are labor
men. However, the mayor and his
chief of police have done excellent
work in enforcing the criminal sec
tions Of the Kansas Industrial law and
the other criminal laws of the state
and the ordinances of the city.
THE strike has amounted to moth
ing in Kansas. The packing houses
hsve been and are running practically
normal. The stockyards are open and
the livestock market has not been
disturbed by the strike Furthermore,
the industrial court, in conference
with the mayor, gave the mayor full
-
TO his aid if he needed aid. I heard
Judge McDermOtt say in SO many
words that the court would call upon
Governor Allen for military police aid
at any time that the mayor felt tina.
such aid was needed, and further
more. that the members of the indus
trial court had every reason to be-
lieve that martial law would be de-
clared and the national guard called
out if necessary to preserve the peace
and protect the men and women who
desired to work. The mayor and his
chief Of police assured the court that
they were able to enforce the laws
without outside assistance.
Serious Riots in Some Cities
while in Chicago, Omaha, Okla
homa City, and other great packing
centers there have been serious riots
and the hospitals have been filled
with the wounded and the morgues
with the dead, in Kansas there has
been no serious disturbances Of the
peace and all because of the anti
picketing features of the Kansas in
dustrial act The farmers of Kan
sas are more fully approaching the
possibilities of the industrial act in
preventing the tying up of transporta-
tion and the public market for live
stock. This statement is made on
my own responsibility and not on be-
half of the Industrial tribunal"
