None Is Elected To Hall of Fame NEW YORK, Jan. 22.—(P)—For the second straight year members of the Baseball Writers’ Associa- tion of America have failed to agree Op any one candidate: for election to baseball’s Hall of Fame, the association announced today. Despite a new method of voting this year, not one of 21 diamond greats was able to command the necessary 75 per cent of the total ballots to have his bust placed alongside those of Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Christy Mathewson, Hans Wagner and other famous stars in baseball’s shrine at Coop- erstown, N. Y. As in the previous balloting held last winter, Frank Chance, first sacker and manager of the Chicago Cubs in the early 1900’s, received the most votes, but once again he failed to make the grade by a slim margin. Needing 197 of the 263 votes cast to be elected, Chance could garner only 150 votes. : Close behind him in second place. with 110 votes was Johnny Fvers, another former Cub hero who with Joe Tinker and Chance formed the almost legendary dou- ble-play combination of Tinker to Evers to Chance. / Miller Huggins, former second baseman of the Cincinnati Reds and St. Louis Cardinals, but better known ‘to modern day fans as manager of the great New York Yankee combines of 1921-1928, and Ed Walsh, famous spitball pitcher of the Chicago White Sox, were tied for third wtih 106 votes apiece, : Cieslak Is Playing In Puerto Rico Loop Ted Cieslak, the Southern weague’s most. valuable player ast season, is playing ball with san Juan in Puerto Rico and sav- ng his money. _ Cieslak, who spent most of the winter here, left early in January 0 play for San Juan. The popular ex-Cracker, who re- dorts for spring training with the Roston Braves this season, is sav- ng his money, but he doesn’t trust the banks in Puerto Rico, “Corn” White, who with Lew Sewell, op- erates the Anchorage, revealed. “Ted left his bankbook with me and sends his savings back here for deposit,’ White said. BASKETBALL PAYS KENTUCKY — “We didn’t play up to our best against Tech tonight,” he tried to explain to a reporter who had been popeyed at the sight of the lightning-like Wildcats streaking by and through the Tech Yellow Jackets. ‘‘Wish you could. see us when we’re having a good night. We were much better against Ten- nessee.” “What was the trouble against Temple?” the reporter asked devil- ishly. ‘“Didn’t they hand you your only defeat?” : “Yep, they beat us all right,” he said. “It was a case of too much Madison . Square Garden. We should have come on home after playing in the Garden. But here’s a scoop for you: We haven’t an- nounced it yet because we don’t want to be bothered by ticket hounds, but we play Temple later in the season in Louisville. And you know what—we’re gonna kick the daylights out of ’em.”’ ‘Rupp disclosed that Kentucky cleared $29,000 out of basketball last year and would draw consid- erably better this season. ‘‘We pack ’em in everywhere,” he said. “I figure I’m the smartest man in basketball,” he said half aloud, “put I was outsmarted once or State we would take all of our gate and they could have theirs. Our gym seats only 3,700 and when we got to Michigan State they had a crowd of 8,200. How- ever, we’re starting construction on a field house soon that will cost a million and three-quarter dollars and will seat 10,000 for. basketball. Then we’ll swap gates with any of ’em and feel no pain.” “Wish I could stay over and watch Fort Wayne play here,” he said. “Don’t forget to send me the clippings from their games in Atlanta. You know they are pretty good, too.’ Three Games Tonight In Suburban Loop Three games will be played in the Suburban Basketball League tonight, beginning at 7 o’clock.

He told me that he was coming in and tell me all about the last moments with T.P., as he was with T.P,. when it happened, but he never got around to it. However, he did have one of the boys come in and tell me about it. His father was principal of the Topeka High School before he passed away. i think he died while the son was in services : Richard Van Slyck came in to see meg doubltless you have had that information.

Black Jr. Coffeyville Army Air Field — Coffeyville, Kansas Dear Charlie: I was delighted to receive your letter on September 19 - and to know that your family is well and happy. I was interested in Sheryl and that she can do the altitudious stunt in going up her crib but when she starts down she goes into a tail spin. Well, that is exactly the situtation with little Jill and her crib but she has managed to work out by slow procedure a method of holding on with one hand and going down to a full squat but she has not figured out’ just how she is going to arrive firmly on the crib floor without cracking-up. It is a lot of fu isn't it, Charlie, to watch them learn in a perfect methodical and most interesting way. Jill is the life of the Allen household and I am perfectly convinced that Sheryl holds the same domicile. I have just checked with Dr. Leonard Axe, director of V-12 and Veteran's Bureau, and he states definitely that they are planning on opening up another school term November 1. They are not sure just what the offering will be at this. time but Br. Axe would appreciate it if vou could study your. transoript and see just about what you would be wanting. Naturally you can see that it will not be possible for the university to offer a full schedule of all classes as of November 1. They will do the best they can under difficult conditions. Then they will have another offering February 11 which will be the semester after the one which is now beginning, September 24. : : If you should happen to be in Lawrence on any week day I think it would be a fine thing to get your transcript and have a conference with Dr. Axe. ile is well informed and conversant with the veteran's program. T6o, Charlie, I think it will be a nice thing if you could write him asking other questions that are arising in your mind at present. Captain C.B.

Of course, things won't be easy in finde ing that apartment for you, but we will do it, The fact that you are just sitting there impells me to tell you to come right on down and we will get that gld job and ererytaing right away. 3 I was just getting ready to mene your other letter today. I have been Governor of our District #123 of Rotary and we just finished our convention in Kansas City this morning and I drove home to Lawrence after being away for three dayse Then when your letter came this afternoon, I decided -Iwould answer this one, which is the most important, to tell you not to wait up there, but pack your duds and you and your wife come on. So wire me before you start so that we will be looking for you, You tell that wife of yours that she is a real thorough- There is a special term which started yesterday in which you might enroll with the Dean's permission. For students enrolled in this term the following subjects are offered: « : hour's hours hours hours hours hours hours hours English, composition and literature Speech, fundamentals Mathematics, intermediate algebra College Algebra Trigonometry Principles of Geography — ea Accounting I C8 68 GA DS GA GA 9 GH All of these courses are beginning courses for freshmen and niin and elasses for a $ehour course meet six days a week and classes for a 2-hour course meet four days a week. ~ Ur, Ted Bean ae ~2- Bpril 9, 1946 If you enrolled next week you would be two weeks late really, since you would be taking a full semester's work in a half semester and it would not be easy, but the advantages would be this. If you could - enroll in this short term, you would be sure of getting in the university- next fall without any difficulty. The university will be very congested and overcrowded by next fall and out-of-state students will have trouble enroll- ing, unless they are already students here. The other advantage is that you | would get the advantage of the G. I. Bill of Rights and we could give you a. Jart-time job, which would give you approximately $150.00 a month. This would also allow us time to arrange for a full time job for you for this summer. : This latter suggestion is entirely up to you, Ted. Regard- less whether or not you decide to enroll, we will be only too happy to fix you Upe ; You quit worrying about telling someone else your troubles. You tell them to me any time you want to and I assure you it won't make me tired — or angry to hear your storys Good luck to you, Ted, and I will be waiting to - hear from yous : eo A Sincerely yours, Director of Physical Education, Varsity Basketball Coach.
