Browns Have Slow Chance

st. Louis, Sept. 19.--After hold
ing lead on the New York Ameri-
cans the st. Louis Browns permitted
the visitors to come. from behind in
the last inning and take yesterday s
game, 3 to 2, thus increasing New
YOrk's lead to one and one-half
games. The Browns four errors fig-
ured in the visitors three runs. Up
to the last inning the contest was
a pitching duel, with Davis, of the
Browns. getting the best of his battle
with Bush. He weakened, however,
in the ninth, and the visitors took
advantage Of two hits and an error
and scored the tying and winning
runs.
Although the Browns are sched-
uled to meet the weaker teams Of
the league, while the leaders will
play Detroit and Cleveland, 1t Is be.
lievd unlikely by followers Of the
national pastime that the Yankees
will lose their lead Of one and one
half games.

LEAVE YOUR CARS HOME
Chancellor Lindley Tells Parent,
About K. u. Situation

Leave your car at nome, says
Chancellor Lindley of X. L.
For Freshman, Sophomore or Sen
ior the rule Is the same.
The chancellor in letter to the
parents Of students attending the
University Of Kansas says the pos-
session of cars by students except
where needed in their work is one
of the biggest problems confronting
the university. One of the letters
from the chancellor received In Abb
Inc this week is as follows:
Another university year Is about
to open. We share your hopes that
it will be year Of lasting value to
your sons and daughters, ana ,ais
letter LIS to ask your cooperation In
a matter OF vital concern to the wei
fare Of all our young people.
1.-THE number Of students who
have the use Of privately owned au-
tonobiles while they are in Lawrence
is growing rapidly. The university
is using evey effort I'd discourage an
forms of extravagance, to keep
among students a fine spirit Of demo.
cracy, to concentrate rstudents' at,
tention upon serious study and
healthful recreation and to hold to a
minimum practices frausht with
moral risks. The possession of cars
by students except where needed in
their work, is serious handicap, to
these efforts.
THE administrative authorities of
the university believe in the policy
of leaving in the hands of students
matters Of personal liberty SO long
us conduct conforms 10 reasonable
standards of right. However the
rapid growth in the number of auto
mobiles in the, possession Of students
seems to Justify special efforts for
co-Opera tion. ~ uf .a
"The times call for q. vigorous
checking UP by all Of US with respect
to our attitudes on moral and civic
righteousness. The university is
hoping to do its part In developing
stronger personal responsibility in
the fundamental virtues. We know
you want us to do this. You can help
much by making 1t clear to your sons
and daughters that their part is to
live simply. honestly and wholesome
ly while in the university. For this
they do not need car"
