BAN ON ICHABOD BASEBALL
Washburn VIII Not Organize Team
This Year, Ream Says.

Washburn college will not have
BASEBALL team this spring, according to
Dwight T. Ream, coach. There were
several reasons for abolishing this
sport. However, the proba bility of To-
eating a Southwestern league team
here, had practically no bearing on the
decision.
The principal reason was its inter
ference with track. Both sports can
not be encouraged at the same time
without hamperng each other. Ream
says. Baseball never has been a finan-
cial success in recent years at Wash
burn. The gate receipts were hardly
sufficient to pay for the balls used in
the games, Ream says. The majority
of the Kansas colleges are giving their
major efforts to track, and it is diff
cult to obtain a representative base
ball schedule
However, inter-mural baseball con-
tests will be held, says the Washburn
coach. The students can form league
and draft players for the league as
they see it.

WASHBURN WORKING HARD
Close Contest Expected at Emporia
Next Friday Night.

The Washburn college basketball
team is working hard this week to
perfect a dependable offensive. accord
ing to Dwight T. Ream, coach Ream
believes his basketeers can play the
Emporia Normals a close contest at
Emporia, Friday night. and believes
his men can leave Emporia, follow
ing the College of Emporia game Sat
urday night with the long end of the
score.
Ream points out the fact that altho
the opponents only scored IA. Is. and
% points in the three games last week.
Washburn won Fhe first two games by
fairly narrow margins and lost the
second by a small margin.
Ream feels that while the team will
probably not finish the season at the
top of the conference ladder. its per-
centage wiz be raised considerably, as
it has a numbr of home games sched-
uled the last part of the season.

HOWELL WINS COP.
NOMINATION FOR
.|EBRASKASENATOR
His Victory Heralded as
Another Progressive
Triumph.
HITCHCOCK WINNER
Bryan's Brother Has Even
Chance as Democratic
Choice for Governor.

OMAHA, Nebr.. July 19.-R. b.
Howell. Republican National Com
mitteeman, has won the Senatorial
nomination of his party over Con-
gressman A. W. Jefferis by a plu-
rality Of from 5000 to $4,000. ac-
cord.ng to late returns from Tues
days primary.
Howell's victory is heralded as
another progressive triumph, fol-
lowing the nominations of Bev-
eridge in Indiana, Frazier in North
Dakota, Brookhart in Iowa, and
P:rcaot in Pennsylvania
While Congressman Jefferis made
mis- fight on the record of the Hard
ing administration, Howell featured
his campaign by opposing the Esch-
Cummins law and boosting the SOL
diers' bonus. the farm bloc and
other platform planks that have ap-
pealed to voters in other progressive
upsets.
Howell received the support of
labor and farmers generally and If
he had not had to split the pro-
Cressive vote with Attorney Gen.
eral Davis, who ran third. his vic
tory would have been by a greater
margin. according to political OBJ
servers.
One of the surprises of the cleo
tion was the poor showing made
by c. 2. Gustafson. president of the
American Grain Growers, who was
expected to cut in heavily on the
farmers vote. Gustafson ran a bad
fourth.
AS late reports came in it was
a toss-up for the Democratic nomi-
nation for governor. Charles w.
Bryan. brother of william Jennings
Bryan, was less than 1900 votes
behind Dan B. Butler and gaining
rapidly enough to make his nomina-
tion more than a possibility.
Senator Gilbert Hitchcock, Demo-
crat. won with ease and was the
recipient of such a large vote that
his reelection this fall over Howell
is confidently predicted by his
friends.

Facta and Ministry Stub
b0rnly Fought in Cham

RUMORED GIOLITTI
MAY BE PREMIER
Political Situation Cause
Of Alarm Due to
Outbreaks.

ROME. July 19.-The italian cab
met resigned late today after suffer-
ing an overwhelming defeat in the
chamber of deputies. The vote was
2sS to 1O3.
Premier Facta and his ministry
fought to the end. but were deserted
by the Facisti and members of the
Popular party and were unable to
muster sufficient strength TO pull
through.
After the adverse vote Premier
Facta gave his resignation to King
Victor Emmanuel and his cabinet
did likewise.
Although Facta had ample warn
ing of the impending fall. he stuck
to the end. refusing to quit in ad-
vance of the vote which his ad-
visors predicted would go against
him. Leaders of the majority. after
sounding out the parliamentary sit
uation early in the day. called on
the premier. but he told them he
would resign only after thorough
debate and a vote. Some of the
newspapers in their late editions
praised Facta highly for deciding
to face the chamber and fight it out.
GfoIitti May Return.
An unconfirmed report was cir
culated that former Premier Gio-
litti had been asked by a number
of his followers to hurry to Rome
from Vichy. but IL is too early to
say who will succeed Facta-
The forced resignation of the
ministry Is the elimination of a
political disturbance which has been
seething for weeks throughout
Italy. One explanation of the sit
uat.on is that the present chamber
no longer represents the country,
Since II was elected radical changes
have been going on and thousands
of workers have left the Socialist
standard to join the Fascist. Pub
lie sentiment seems also to have
shifted more strongly against the
Socialists in favor of a saner policy,
the abandonment of all demagogic
policies and ruthless retrenchment
of expenses.
Coalition VIII Fail.
Any attempt now to form coali-
tion cabinet probably would mean
a worse situation and. besides. it
would be hard job to find a man
who could head such a ministry.
Uneasiness over the political sit
uation Is growing throughout all
Italy. especially in the north. Dis
turbances have been breaking out
in many places due to the campaign
of the Fascist against the Social
lists. Under pressure of this cam
paign the proletarian forces have
effected single front-Communists
Socialists and Republicans. and in
some districts even members of the
Popular party. all uniting in face
of a common political foe. This
amalgamation is now known as the
Labor Alliance.
