SIDELINE LIGHTS

Topeka basket ball enthusiasts saw
a real basket ball player when Jimmy
Potts, Baker forward, came on the
floor. This little fellow don't weigh
over 125 pounds, but he is the most
aggressive, elusive, lodging, accurate,
field goal man on the Baker squad,
and we might say on several other
squads. Time and again Potts lodged
and side-stepped two and three Wash
brun men, to flip the ball thru the
hoop. He is playing his first year of
college basket ball and is a sopho-
more at Baker.
Marvin Stevens, Washburn running
guard, continues to wear the wreath
of glory. His shooting last night Sas
of the best, and he, tossed out of 10
free ones. Don't forget this Ichabod
captain, DeLoss Erickson, stationary
guard. Several times it fell to him to
stop goal in the first half, before
Washburn woke up and started to
cover their men, and he did it adj
mirably The consensus of opinion
is that Erickson is going to make
someone a good run for the all-state.

If the first half was played hard.
the second period was a slaughter.
Both Liston of Baker and Ream of
Washburn had injected enough pep
into their tossers to occasion fight
that thrilled the huge crowd. Potts
and Bollinger of Baker made basket
after basket, while Stevens and Poort
of Washburn tossed in several for the
winners. The two teams raced neck
and neck toward the firing of the
pistol. and with only five minutes to
play, both teams were desperate. The
score seemed to stay tied. Baker
would toss one in,s and Washburn
would duplicate. Hepworth of To-
peka high fired the final gun. and the
was started, to the delight of the
crowd. and Washburn ran away with
the honors. A field goal by Poort,
one by Stevens, and two free throws
by Stevens won the game.

IGNORANCE TO Be NO EXCUSE
New Rules For Organized Ball To Be
Printed and Distributed Free.

Chicago Jan. 22.-Ignorapce or
the new rules which will govern or
ganized baseball under the regime OF
Judge Keuesaw NJ. Lands, as baseball
commissioner will not be accepted as
an excuse for their violation by play
crs, club owners or league offlclals'
said President John Heydler of the
National league today.
In order that the public and every
one connected with baseball may be
informed of the condition under
which baseball will enter the new era,
Mr.. Heydler is issuing a pamphlet con-
tajning every agreement and contract
entered into between club owners or
leagues at any of the various baseball
meetings held this winter
Copies will be sent to every ball
PLAYER and clubowner, to all news
papers and to any one else who asks
for one, Mr.. Heydler said.

In 1917 they had about the same num-
Der of employees and paid them ST.
740,00p,000. Today. because of the
establishment of the eight-hour day
and the advance in wages which have
been granted, they have about 1885,
900 employees who are being paid So
$780, 900, 900 year. While the increase
in the average annual wage since 1914
has been about 125 per cent, the in
crease in the total payroll has been
about 10 per cent.
There is much complaint from
many sources regarding present freight
and passenger rates. The necessity for
the present rates is created chiefly by
present railway wages. The farmer,
shipper and consumer are all deeply
interested in the question of railroad
costs. because the cost is what makes
the rates which all the public have to
pay directly or indirectly; and the rail-
way payroll at present constitutes 81
per cent of all operating expenses.
PayroIls Excessive.
All the present railway costs should
be reduced, but the payroll is so large
part of the total expenses that no
substantial relief to the railways,
which are nos earning an adequate
net return, or to the public, which has
to pay present freight and passenger
rates, can be obtained without substan-
tial reduction in wages.
Farmers and business men recent
" have lost many hundreds of millions
of dollars because of declines in prices
Wages already have been reduced IN
MANY industries. The railroad labor
board, in granting the advance in
wages last July, based it largely upon
the high cost of living. In view OF
since. then a rehearing
of the wage case should be held and
wages fixed which are more in har-
mony with existing conditions"

Yale to cross Pond in summerp

Altho Yale has entertained for some
time the thought that both the crew
and track teams would cross the water
this summer for a try at either Cam
bridge or Oxford, the possibilities of
such a trip are rapidly vanishing, ac-
cording to A. c. Gilbert of the track
advisory committee. Yale has long de-
sired to be the first American univer-
sity to cross the pond for major ath-
letic meet with an English school, and
"a shortage of material for both the
teams is the only reason for calling a
halt to the proposed plans this year.
With only six track stars enrolled, the
crew is only a shell of its former year
power. Coach Guy Nickalls will re-
turn from London early in February,
and the report that he will bring from
the English schools will in a large
measure decide the issue.
Two years ago., when the Eli stu
dents planned the trip, two handicaps
prevented, first, the travelling bill
proved to be larger than was at first
believed necessary, and second, word
was received from England that they
would prefer the contest in a year or
two, that conditions were not the best
at that time. The chances for crew
and track victories from Princeton
and Harvard are not believed to be up
par, with a deficit in men for both
departments of the intercollegiate

Boy, page that interpreter.
A Mexican woman called at police
headquarters Friday afternoon with
an enthusiastic line of chatter. All
the available officers were called into
service to interpret her talk, but they
were unsuccessful. Then Chief Frank
Leech happened to remember that
Traffic Officer George Brown had So
journed on the Mexican border some
fifteen years ago, and sent for him.
Brown listened patiently. But his
knowledge of the lingo had pAlled
during fifteen years and finally the
officers decided thar the woman was
, hungry and sent her to the Pr6vfdent
association. Here she was given an
armload of groceries and sent home.
Some time later Augustin Alba, for
mer detective, got in touch with the
woman and discovered that what she
wanted was a warrant for two of her
neighbors, who she claimed had
been troubling her. Alba advised the
neighbors to drop their attentions and
the neighborhood was left in peace

And hereby we know that we are of the

For if our heart condemn us. God is

Beloved. if our heart condemn us not,

And this is his commandment. That we

And he that keepeth his commandments
dwelleth in him, and be in him. And here
by we know that he abideth in us, by the

the offending man broke, Poort,
whom he was fouling, tossed the bas-

have materially changed, Ream be-

toss the baskets like they have in
! previous games this season. Even tho
they had more shots at the hoop than
did their opponents, their inability
cost them the contest.

practically got it cinched. You see,
We play Southwestern and Ottawa
