THE CHANCE FOR REVENGE AT LAST
The Tiger Baseball Team Meets Sherwin's Bunch on Today and Tomorrow
If practice counts for anything in the making of a baseball team the Missourians are doomed for the worst defeat of the trip when they mix with Shrwivin's Hopes on McCook Field this afternoon.
Handicapped by lack of out-door practice Coach Sherwin has kept his men here the whole of the Easter vacation and put them through a series of stuff out-door practice that has rounded them into shape to travel at high speed in their struggle with the Tigers. Practice has been held every morning and afternoon for the last four days.
It is yet unsettled as to whether Sommers a member of the white-wash squad will be able to appear in uniform as their is a question concerning his grades to be cleared up. Walker, however, another member who has undergone the white-wash process by the Valley eligibility committee will appear.
The Missouri team has been uniformly unsuccessful on their recent trip, they have lost two games to the Kansas Aggies, one to the Oklahoma Aggies, and one to the University of Texas. The Aggies, however, they held Wisconsin to a three to three tie. Helm will probably pitch the opener for the Tigers.
The Kansas line-up for tomorrow's game will probably be as follows:
Ogden. . . . . . . . . . . . . c
Hicks, (capt) . . . . . . . . . 1st t
Coolidge. . . . . . . . . . 2nd t
Ward. . . . . . . . . . . 3rd t

DEFEATED PICKUP TEAM
Sherwin's Aggregation Wor
Five Inning Game From
Lawrence Y. M.C. A.
Sherwin's promising young base-ball tosses defeated a picked team of fast players from this city yesterday afternoon by a score of 5 to 4. The Lawrence aggregation was labelled the Y. M. C. A. team but of all the holes were filled by men who were on the town team last year.
The Sherwin team got away in the lead and for three innings held a three to one lead, but in the fourth the picks got to Marsh for a minute and chased three runs over the pan in that brief time.
Supporters of the pick-ups declared that the Kansas crowd were afraid to continue the game, but the Hopefuls insist that the contest was merely a work out and they had to stop in order to be fresh for the Tigers.
In the last half of the fifth, with one man on, Captain Hicks slammed a hamster to the left field fence and the game ended with K. U. in the lead.
Strangers who visit in Abilene go away with the impression that it is the busiest place in the West. Cause why? This is it: The Commercial club owns an old switch engine and three box cars. When it is necessary to impress a visitor, the steering committee takes him to the Union bridge to switch engine and cars are started. They run back and forth in front of the hotel till the stranger sits up and takes notice of the traffic rush. Fine advertisement. Charley Harger of the Reflector invented it.

Gomer T. Davies of the Concordia Kansan, who does a high class job of newspaper editing six days a week, also shines as an after dinner orator.
J. F. Baxter, who got his start writing paid locals on the late Tapeka Herald, is now advertising manager of the Kansas City Journal. Baxter is a confirmed bachelor, and his girl friends say he can make "perfectly grand" salad dressing.
Barney Sheridan has turned the Paola Spaill over to his boy, who is a "chip off the old block." About all that the elder Sheridan contributes to the Spirit is an occasional batch of reminiscences. But Barney still takes an interest in politics. He lately saved the country by handling the Champ Clark presidential boom in Kansas.
Mack Cretcher of the Sedgwick Pantagraph is an ardent supporter of the scheme to keep a newspaper man in congress from the Eighth district. But Vie Murdock is not the man Mack has in mind. Mr. Cretcher is not ready to make a formal announcement.
Charles Dillon profess.or of industrial journalism at the Agricultural college, began his journey ad astra per aspera as a telegraph operator on the Santa Fe railroad. Perhaps that is why he is so pernicious about having his pupils dot their 's and dash their 's. Hope a diagram is not necessary for this.
L. L. Kienne will retire from the Topeka State Journal and run for sheriff of Shawnee county. If he doesn't promise to change the foolish policy of sheriffs that requires "thorough investigation" of a case before the newspapers have a tip about it, the Topeka reporters ought to organize a boycott against him.
Jesse Napier lately sold his Newton Journal, a Democratic paper, and purchased an interest in the Newton Kansan, a Republican paper. He will manage the Kansan. Some folks wonder how he can do it. Easiest thing in the world: Napier is an eclectic in politics.
Dave Leahy claims to be the only Kansas newspaper man who was ever kissed by a princess. We fear Dave has grown careless in his claims since he engaged in politics. Every Kansas newspaper man has been kissed by a princess, and by a queen, too, for that matter.
NAMES WRITTEN THERE
Jesse Leach, a former newspaper correspondent at Topeka, is climbing rapidly up the ladder as editor of the Daily Enterprise at Bartlesville, Okla. Mr. Leach's Kansas friends doubtless will be surprised to learn that he is a leading Insurgent in his country, and a staunch supporter of T. R.
When the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway company entertained the Kansas editors at lunchon a year ago, a souvenir newspaper called The Red Ball was distributed among the guests. The paper "took" so well with the editors, that the Santa Fe continued its publication as a monthly bulletin of railroad news and industrial information. The paper has neither subscription list nor advertising patronage. The circulation, confined to newspapers, is complimentary. Frank Jarrell, publicity agent of the Santa Fe, is the editor. The Red Ball takes its name from the Santa Fe's fast freight service.

NEWSPAPERS ARE THE HISTORIES OF THE STATE

able than those obtained from the
big dallies", said Sheridan Plouche, at Fraternal Aid hall yesterday afternoon in his address on "Historical Accuracy" to the State Editorial Association.
"In the daily grind of newspaper work it, perhaps, has not
occurred to the newspaper makers that the facts they set down in their columns will be used as the information from which the future history of Kansas will be written. Events of seemingly small importance are often thought that those events may have a deciding value in the future."
"Mr. Plough pointed out the value of correct and accurate reporting. He said that mistakes due to the hurry so that the paper might be gotten on time, were unavoidable, but that all efforts made were not faithful or ful and clear-cut statement of fact. CORRESPONDENTS MAY NOT MEETATE
"The worry simile in the matter of making unreliable the source of future information are the correspondents of the metropolitan dailies. Much of the matter they write is never read in their own community and hence no check is put on their exaggeration."
"The newspaper maker is doing what no other craft or calling is accomplishing. His work is not
ended with the reading of his paper. The newspaper maker is the history writer of his community. Well should he write it, careful should he set it down. No other trade or calling holds out the opportunities, that are given the newspaper maker."
STUDENTS' DAY TALKS
TO BE FULL OF "PEP."
"We want to get more 'pep' into the Students' Day talks," said MacKinnon today. "Last year we had too many presentations of dry scientific facts which were not of general interest."
The date for Students' Day has not yet been set, but will be at the next regular meeting of the Student Council.
Speakers for Students' Day will be elected by the presidents of the schools Thursday at chapel time. After being selected each man will report to Arch MacKinnon for instructions as to the length of his speech.
