Ames Stages Comeback; Takes Second Game From Jayhawkers,8-2
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 24, 1918.
Defeat of Kansas is Credited to Loose Playing of Infield
Today's Game is Canceled
Ruble and Marquis Came From Rosedale to Form Kansas Battery
Ames took the second of the three game series with Kansas Tuesday by an 8 to 2 score with hard hitting and the advantage of the errors made by the Jayhawk infield. Ams started the scoring in the first inning when they made four runs on two hits, two walks, and two errors.
Mirl Ruble and "Doc" Marquis came down from Rosedale and formed the Kansas battery. Ruble pitched a fair game and would have held the Ames nine to a low score had he received any support from the Kansas infield. The Kansas were not hitting at the right time. Oyster tripled in the fifth sending Isenberger over the plate with the first run for Kansas. Kansas came back for another run in the next inning when Weltner singled sending Cherry over with the other Kansas run.
Brotherlin played a good game for Ames getting one hit, three walks and three runs. Shellite got a pair of timely singles. The Ames infield looked good. DeForest, the star twirler on the Ames staff got away good, allowing Kanaas six hits. Ames staged a rally in the eighth getting three runs on two two-base hits, a single and two errors.
There will be no game this afternoon as McCook Field is too wet. The Ames nine left at 11:00 o'clock. The game has been canceled and will not be played according to W. O. Hamilton, manager of athletics.

K. U. Bond Purchases Almost Double Quota
Subscriptions of $27,450 Reported by U. G. Mitchell For Committee
Subscriptions for the Third Liberty Loan on the Hill reached a total of $27,450 this morning or almost double the quota of 15,000.
"Practically every man and woman on the faculty has been seen," said Prof. U. G. Mitchell, who is leading the campaign. "Everybody is willing; there are no slackers. Some have not been able to take any because they are still paying on large amounts taken on the first or second issues."
A few employees are yet to be seen and it is hoped that it will be possible to bring the total up to $30,000 doubling the quota. As far as is known very few students have subscribed and no effort has been made to get their students enrolled. We had come to the front on the Red Cross campaign which starts soon.
Mr. Klooz will take subscriptions at the business office and those who have already subscribed may pay instead of at the banks, if they sh.

English Sparrow Pie Is Fine, Says Martin
Howver has a stamчщ ally in Handel Martin, curator of the Museum, who has for one of his favorite dishes English sparrow pie. In Nottingham, England, Mr. Martin's boyhood home this dish was rather common and from an old pastor there he learned the way to prepare the dish. To be its very best the pie should contain thirteen birds. All bony parts should be cut out and be served the small meal out under meat, they will be cooked with some bacon and a thick crust, similar to the baking of a beef pie.
Mr. Martin says he has killed this common and diminutive game with fine shot or caught them in large areas in their roosting places in hay-stacks.
At the rate of thirteen to a pie the cause of Fraser would provide for a banquet.

Women's Glee Club Applies for an Ange
Money for Only Forty for Fun ston Trip—Severity In
Club
The K. U. Women's Glee Club wants an "angel." There are seventy members in the club and the club has only money enough to take forty to Camp Funston to give patriotic concerts for the soldiers.
The club met in Fraser Chapel Tuesday night. Marie Buchanan, manager, appointed a committee of four to devise a plan of raising funds to take a full-size club to Funston. It was announced at the meeting that the club would be invited today. This list, however, was objected to by University authorities as containing the names of students who are ineligible.
The club, or as many of the club as possible, will go to Funston, May 3, where they will give at least three hours on Monday night and one Saturday afternoon.
The National Convention of Phi Beta Pi, honorary Medical fraternity, will be held in Kansas City May 1, 2, 3. On May 2 the local chapter will entertain the delegates here at Prairie High School at Praternal Aid Hall. A special Interurban will be chartered to bring the guests from Kansas City.

Lieut. Ziesenis To Funston
Six men signed an apology today. It was for a stunt six youngsters, just kids in their youthful exuberance, e, put on the other night. There wasn't anything particularly bad about the stunt, outside of its thoughtlessness. There is a whole lot that is commendable in the manly way the six have sought to make amends. Things like that help make K. U, better every day. There's only one musty taste in the whole little affair. That comes from two representatives to write down from the worthy screened. The label of that reads weakly: "Well, I don't see why they want to stir up a fuss about that. There have been lots worse stunts and nothing done about it." If that is true, when then, gentle sister, could a start be made for better and better things and do you really enjoy such serenades?
KIDS THEN-MEN NOW.
Student Council Gets Apology of Serenaders
Rudolf Uhrlaub, president of the Men's Student Council, obtained a written apology today from the six men who gave an objectionable serenade in front of a sorority house the night of April 14. The apology is to be sent to the sorority and the incident closed, so far as the sorority and the student council is concerned, Uhrlaub said. The apology follows:
Wednesday.
April 24,
1918
Send the Daily Kansan Bome.
Lest anything of this sort should ever happen again and the good name of the University should be endangered we respectfully offer an apology to you, the only sorority we visited the night of April 14, 1918. Realizing the song we sung was not affable nor in accordance with the spirit of the student body of the University, we regret that the event occurred. We do however beg to be heard and thanked for only one sorority and that the other outrages spoken of in The Daily Kansan were not committed by us and furthermore that this is the only occasion we have committed such an offense.
We respectfully wish to beg an apology.
With respect,
"They came up to the mark like real men," Urlaub said this afternoon. "They said they had acted thoughtlessly and were sorry for it and willing to make any proper amends. They made the apology fully and freely. They surely did the white thing and the decent thing. It's a mighty good spirit that prompts men to act that way. I'm proud of the way they stepped up and took their medicine. A few days ago, I was told that things will stop and think now, and we'll have a more and more real University, spirit among the students.
R. V. Cook, of Pittsburg, who has been an instructor in gymnasium since the first semester, has accepted a position as government chemist and will leave for Washington, D. C., Friday. Mr. Cook was doing graduate work in chemistry and held a fellowship in the department of chemistry until last fall, when he resigned to take charge of the men's morning gym classes. Bernard Jensen will take charge of these classes next week.
"I don't think the affair was real bad at all. I'm sure it wasn't. There have been many worse things that no one ever mentioned. But we can't have such things happening in the University of Kansas, I believe every University man and woman will agree, if they stop and think about it. The serenade was just crude, rough and thoughtless, but University men are not the kind of men to do crude, rough and thoughtless stunts. Especially when you do crude with a University student and get away with it. The student body won't permit it. And I believe these six fellows who apologized, these six men who weren't afraid to do the white and manly thing—I'm for 'em strong, all six of 'em—will say the same thing. So say we all."
Next Lecture Is On May 8
The next date for a lecture on Food and the War, was erroneously announced for May 1. This is a regular day for Gym work. The date of the next lecture is May 8 and not May 1 as previously announced. E. D. Teoret.

Service Flag of Five Hundred Stars to Be Raised as Part of Ceremonies
The Annual Engineers' Day this year will be observed Friday, May 10 There will be no big parade as in former years on account of the expense, but the program will consist of stunts and an exhibition of the work of each department in the School of Engineering.

The definite plans for the day which are being arranged by a committee composed of Joe Mahan, George Dee w. W. B. Brown, Page Wagner, H. Gish, and Faye Walters, will be announced later.
It will not be a quiet affair, engineers declare, since they intend to let the rest of the University and the town know that May 10 is their day. They will be a clown band which will parade the campus and Massachusetts street.

Gum Chewing Gums Professional Nerves
"Its chewing gum a necessity or a luxury? If a necessity, is it a necessity in public places, including University class room?"
"You don't need to write a 7-minute quiz on this," said Prof. W. M. Duffus, as he turned to his class in commercial geography, after writing the foregoing paragraph on the blackboard.
"There's a reason. It is hard on professorial nerves to lecture fifty minutes to an audience of which a greater or less percentage is engaged in the persecution of gum chewing in the perception, lazily, contentedly, nervously.
"Gum possesses a powerful influence over the mind of mankind."
Plain Tales From The Hill
WEATHER NOTE
Lawrence, April 24—Rain which fell here early this morning, continued until late in the day, causing a drop in student funds but a popularity in cab transportation.
He (a fraternity sophomore), "That fellow over there is going to sell us our new furniture when we get—"
She (a very popular freshman).
"Oh sweetness, where did you get the net
He (continuing), "When we get our new fraternity house built."
Conversation between the Home-
mom Co-ed and the freshman home on a
weekend.
"You do still love me?" "Yes."
"And you haven't fallen in love with any one up at K. U." N.Y.
"Do you love me as much as ever?" "Yes."
"And will you always love me?" "Yes."
"And there's no one else?" "No."
"How can you sit there and lie so?"
The instructor said:
It was Friday afternoon on a warm day when the students and teacher were half asleep. When the weary teacher turned his back to use the blackboard, two students sitting near the door sneaked out. It would have worked well but one student shut the door on her coat and could not release it. Finally in deserption she knocked on the door.
"It was all right for you to go but I don't see how I would ever get away when all of you were not looking, and you leave as bad or worse than you do."
Then the whistle blew.
Mr. Ellsworth Closes Visit at K.U.With Talk at Varsity Club
Head of Century Co. Makes Big Impression on Students and Faculty
The talk given by William Webster Ellsworth, president of the Century Publishing Company, New York City, last night before the University Club, was, according to the members, the most interesting talk of the year. Mr. Ellsworth's subject, "Forty Years of Publishing," covered a period of forty years of actual work in the publishing business.
For instance, Mark Twain had such an imagination that his statements had to be discounted. He did not intend to prevaricate, but in telling a humorous story he would let his masters know it. It is a better story than it really was.
Mr. Ellsworth gave an idea of the ridiculously small sums for which writers formerly sold their work. Stevenson once sold a story to the Century Company for $100, while recently a letter written by him to his mother telling of that particular sale, was sold for $250.
"The decade from 1850 to 1860" said Mr. Ellsworth, "was the most productive age in my experience. In that period the most important writers were Thackeryar, Carlyle, and Tennyson."

University of Kansas Will Train 160 Men From National Army
Men Will Be Given Thorough Training Along Technical Lines
Will Arrive About June 1
K. U. Professors Will Have Charge of Most of Work
It has been tentatively affirmed by Dean Potter of the Agricultural College, School of Engineering, that the University of Kansas will become a training camp for 160 drafted men, this summer. It is the plan to give the men training—along technical lines. According to Dean G. C. Shaad of the School of Engineering, there will be sixty men trained in automobile work, twenty in blacksmithing, eighteen in carpentry, fifty in wireless telegraphy, and the remaining other mechanical lines. It is planned to use U.S. university professors as far as possible in mens men, but according to Dean Shaad it is probable that an instructor will have to be brought in from the outside to instruct the men in automobile work.
The men will be under an officer of the United States army and will be under military discipline while at the University. It is planned now that a new commander and fed in the gymnasium. It is designed that they will arrive about June 1.
Dean Potter of the State Agricultural College, has charge of a territory including Colorado, Missouri, Kansas, New Mexico, and North South Dakota. Other Universities and technical schools in this territory will probably follow the same plan of training men this summer.
Cast Has Completed Final Touches For "Fifty-Fifty" Tonight
Professor MacMurray Confident Of Comedy as Laugh Producer
Riddles has asked his last conundrum; his associates have stalled their last answers. Blake has growled his villainous threats for the last time; the hero, Dick, has frustrated the last adverse happening. The leading woman and her companion had been to entice their unsuspecting men further the final, that is, until the production at the Bowersock Theater.
The stage is set and ready for "Fifty-Fifty" tonight. The scenery is ready, and the final practice of the cast has been held. At 8 o'clock the symphony orchestra will begin a concert and the curtain will rise at 8:30.
"I am confident that the comedy will appear as a finished production," said Prof. Arthur MacMurray, coach, this morning. "The actors have been working hard and are exerting themselves in parts. The play is a laugh producer: The spectacular and spirited ending alone will be worth the admission."
Petitions for Council Due By Thursday Noon
Fee of Seventy-Five Cents Must Be Filed With Petition
"All candidates for offices in the spring election, to be held April 30, must have their petitions fled not later than Thursday noon, April 25." He said today by Rudolph Uhrlaub, acting president of the Men's Student Council.
It was formerly announced that these petitions, which must be filed with either the president or secretary of the Student Council, should be in the proper hands by Friday, April 26, 6 o'clock.
For several reasons the change had to be made and candidates should bear this change in mind so as to avoid any conflicts with petitions.
