PLAN A BIC MEET
Missouri Valley Track Classic
at Lawrence Saturday.
$50 Athletes Expected to Com
bine to Put Up Records.

Lawrence, Kan, May 24.-Jay-
hawks, Tigers, Cornhuskers, Sooners,
and a dozen other types of beasts and
birds will mix up for the annual Mis-
souri, valley track fest here. next
Saturday.
And indications are that there will
be both fur and feathers flying before
the day is over.
Early entries indicate that at least
$50 choice athletes from Missouri val
ley, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska
state conference schools will be on
hand.
The 1922 valley meet will be not
only the classic event of this years
season, but track coaches from a ma
jority of the schools entered are of
the opinion that the meet will go
down in track annals as one of the
greatest.
The event will bring together for
the last time a score of valley athletes
that are classed among the best the
valley has ever produced Standing
first, are Brutus Hamilton, the Mis-
souri, star and captain, and Everett
Bradley. Kansas star and captain.
But such athletes as Smith, Ne
braska; Rathburn, the Ames two
miller: O'Leary, valley quarter-mile
champion; PauIu, Grinneu dasher;
er; Massey, Kansas two-miler; Max
sell, Missouri half-miler, and a score
of others cannot be overlooked. More
over, from the Kansas conference will
come such athletes as Stewart, K. S.
N, who broke the 440-yard dash con-
ference record at Baldwin last Satur-
day; Mayer, K. S. N, who broke the
sS0-yard dash record; McKown, X S.
N, who broke the. pole vault record,
with half a dozen other Kansas Nor
NAL stars as we'll as athletes from
Washburn, Baker, Pittsburg, and 9TH
er state conference schools.
Who will win the meet? Dopesters
are figuring pretty hard on this ques-
ton. Nebraska and Kansas seem to
be the choice. Nebraska won from
Kansas in their dual meet; Kansas
won from Nebraska in the valley in
door meet. Missouri, with Hamilton,
also is expected to be in the running
for championship honors.
In addition to the valley track meet,
sport followers will have an oppor-
tunity to witness the valley meets in
golf and tennis. Another sport at
traction will be a meeting of athletic
directors and coaches from valley
schools at the university Friday night.

for a headlight an electric search light
This is the first application of the search
light for headlights in the west and
the experiment was satisfactory. The
light can be moved from one side to
other by appliances in the cab so that
curve may be lighted up no matter how

induces Repose, and Natural, Refresh
ing Sleep. For Insomnia, Sleepless-
ness, Wakefulness, Restlessness.
The Reason
Number Forty is a new idea in
medicine. and depends for its action
on the natural reactions of the body.
Whenever an accident happens,
whether a cold or a cut finger. etc;
the body reacts to this and eventual
ly overcomes it. If this does not take
place every accident might prove fatal.
In Number Forty we give a med
icine, which. in the crude drug would
be a stiTnulant; but, we give it in such
quantity and form. that the stimulat-
ing effect is negligible. the reaction
commences almost Immediately and
the person quiets down and goes to
sleep.
Since this sleep is not produced by
drug but by the natural reaction to
the remedy. the sleep produced is
natural. healthy and refreshing. and
there can be no danger of habit.

over the Pirates after McKechnie took charge. Some give the mana ger all the credit. Others insist that the pitching staff did it--after to the fold and given charge of the hurlers Another faction credits lions share to Reb Russell, mighty slugger, who was brought from Minneapolis by Skipper Mac.
 Conservative followers of the Pi- rates have been willing to admit that the individuals referred to have all contributed their share, but they point out that it was McKechnie who patched up the Schmidt trouble and McKechnie who added Russell's 42 centimeter bat to the available ar tillery Players themselves have aired their views.
 This psychology stuff may be called the bunk by some, but I'm for it," said one of the veterans We looked like buns when McKechnie took hold. Then we start out and break the seasons record for con- secutive victories. How do you ex- plain it? Easy
 "Schmitty comes back to take the kid catchers in hand and in few days he has the pitchers believing they cant lose. Russell blows in and gets bit by the home run bug. Tier ney goes on rampage and boosts his batting average to .370. Bigbee blows himself to similar average. Max Carey and Rabbit Maranville, the two real cogs of the outfit, have their greatest season. Grimm and Traynor prove they are really won- derful fielders despite their hard luck with the bat
 "Then the pitchers go crazy. Coop CT, Morrison, Carlson, Adams and Glazner all turn in shutouts or hold the enemy to one or two runs. They get out there and sock 'em through, we'll knowing that they have a team that can SC back and get 'em. Look over the records and see how stingy they all have been with bases on balls. There is your psychology again. They took chances, but broke the old pill over the plate"
 Fred Clarke, former manager, has been travelling with with the team for a couple of weeks.
 Best vacation I could blow myself to-" said the Kansan.
 Clarke, like John McGraw, doesn't like to make predictions. He seldom talks before a crucial game or a worlds series battle, but he did open up a bit here the other day

 One familiar figure may be miss ing next year. That's Babe" Adams. The big right handler wants to re- tire, but he may change his mind
 It is an open secret that Adams over-eXerted himself this season. Past 40, he pitched shut-out ball when he had to, but like the Mighty Matty of the olden days, he took things easy when he could. His friends on the team have told of the nights, after hard battle, when Adams's arm was so sore he could hardly lift it. His perfect control and his un- canny knowledge of batters were his aces.
 The Pirates will try out the usual flock of "promising youngsters in the spring, but it will take a real phenom to oust a regular from his present berth.

LOOK
 FOR BIG THINGS IN NEXT YEAR

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 20-Despite the fact that the Pittsburgh Pirates failed to wrest the National league pennan1 from the New York Giants, local ian dom ie in distinctly different mood than it was a year ago today.
 In 1921, Manager Gibson's Warrlors came down the home stretch "lth commanding lead-and then blew up with a report that was heard through ou+ organized baseball. Pennant hopes faded away with the Giants rush, and local supporters gave vigorous vent to their disappointment.
 Gibson got away poorly this year A change of managers resulted. From the week that Bill McKechnie be- came skipper, distinct improvement was noted From the middle or July, Pittsburgh played like a cham Dionship team and records show that the Corsairs made the greatest rec ord in the league from that turning point.
 The Giants lead was too much, however, and local fans must wat another year. And they are, seem- ingly, confident that 1923 will be the scene of triumphs such as were recorded at Forbes Field when Fred Clarke's men became champions Of the world.
 For the past six weeks, the Pirates have been leading the league in team hitting. The pitching has been su- perb, with shutout victories anything but rare. The fielding has been equally as spectacular.
 McKechnie intends to start next season with his present lineup and pitching staff.
 Why break up championship st eam," he asked "Would you trade our outfield for any in the business, or our pitching staff for any corps in either league? Is there a better catcher than Schmidt or a mightier infield-on offense or defense-than Grim. Tierney, Maranville, and Tray ner?"
 Local writers and grandstand ex- Derts have advanced many theories for the remarkable change that came

FIRST PAVED STREET
IN UNITED STATES

Charleston, West Virginia, has the
distinction of being the first city in
United States to use brick for street
paving. Although brick had been
used to pave streets in European
countries, principally Holland, for
nearly a century, they were not tried
in the United States until 1871.
Brick were used in Biblical times.
They were used by the Romans. Parts
of the famous Chinese wall, still
standing, are of brick. Holland has
brick streets more than 100 years old.
In 1871 Charleston paved Summers
street with building brick. These, of
course, were not to be compared with
the hard burned vitrifed brick used
for paving purposes today, but never
theless they served satisfactorily for
SO years.
The state museum at Charleston
has on exhibition the first brick laid
in the street, from which not more
than one inch was worn in the gener-
alton it served. In 1894 Quarter
street was paved with brick and, al
though 81 years old, is still in good
condition today. The brick were laid
on base of 8 inches of sand, one inch
of tarred oak planks and a second
inch layer of sand.
