LEAGUE TEAMS NEED NEW DIAMONDS SOON
Flock of Club Squads Makes Demand on Present Ball Parks Heavy
"The ultimate result of intramural baseball will be the changing of this five-acre strip of land from useless pasture ground to a half dozen well graded baseball diamonds, prophesied Dr. James A. Niemann's this morning as he pointed to the hill just south of the gymnasium.
"The owners are holding this land for the University and we ought to have it. In the spring, it could be used for baseball and again in the fall perhaps. But if it is so desired, it may be utilized as several or several different forms of this game that may easily be adapted to universal use.
"But aside from this point, the Boarding Club League is one of the best things that the University has to offer in the way of sports. Only a limited number can participate in football so that this league offers the average student his one chance to engage in competitive sports.
"More men in the University play baseball than engage in any other line of athletic endearment and accordingly should be recognized. I understand that you can use the team we took part in these games last year, handicapped as they were by the lack of good diamonds. We are not in shape to offer anything much better this spring, although we have two good squares. The Varsity field and freshman lot."
"To handle these leagues—the fraternity and boarding club leagues—we should have some more diamonds. If more fields were available, round robin series could be held—instead of an elimination tournament. My plan would be to have at least four divisions. Each team in these divisions would play every game in that division. The teams with the highest percentages in each division would play an elimination contest for the championship.
"I will suggest to the department that they furnish at least part of the equipment, perhaps a mask, breast protector, and catcher's glove. I am sure the department will cooperate with the league in every way possible."
"I urge every student who ever has played baseball or who ever wants to learn, to get out and begin practising right now. Get on one of these teams and have the time of your life playing baseball. I don't mind interest in this matter, I am sure it will only be a matter of time until we have more diamonds."
HAWKEYE GAME CALLED OFF
Baseball With University of Iowa
Can't Be Played, Owing to Conflict In Dates
The announcement from the University of Iowa, calling off the baseball game scheduled with Kansas for May 20, owing to a conflict in dates, was keenly regretted by Leon McCoy, coach of the Jayhawker nine, as the game was regarded as one of the strongest on the trip.
The game which was dropped would have been the first contest staged with this school since it has entered the "Big 9." The Jayhawker and Hawkye football teams met for their last time in 1910.
Three Editorials Per Day and His Work is Done—Then to Kansas City
It is improbable that the abandonment of the Iowa contest will call off the northern trip which the team will take. Battles with Ames make up for the loss of this game on the schedule.
Every one has heard of the country editor who spends eighteen hours a day trying to squeeze a living out of a weekly newspaper.
But here is John B. Beyfogle, owner of the Olatha Mirror, who wakes up in his suburban home in Olatha at six o'clock, goes to his newspaper office and meets a politician editorials, straightens out the business tangles of the preceding day, runs to catch the Strang interurban to Kansas City and gets into his real estate office in the Victor Building where he has finished powdering her nose. That's the kind of a man Mr. Beyfogle is.
THIS EDITOR LIVES EASY LIFE
His newspaper, the Olatha Mirror, is his hobby. And it is nothing to be ashamed of either, for it is the oldest newspaper in the state. It has been published continuously since 57. Six employees and a ninety-seventh order which Mr. Breyogleg gives as he slams the door to catch the car to Kansas City. "My newspaper is just a profitable plaything with me," Mr. Breyogleg said yesterday. "One evening about three years ago a friend of mine called me over to meet him and call me his newspaper. I told him what I would give him for it. It was done in a minute and I had a newspaper on my hands."

Lawrence, Reno Co., and Wichita Among Entrants for H. S. Basketball Tournament
TEN H. S. TEAMS ENTER MEET
Entries for the Seventh Annual Intercolastic Basketball Tournament have arrived at Manager Hamilton's office at the Gymnasium, and from now until the 20th of the month, the opening day of play, lists of athletes will be received by the athletic authorities daily.
Most of the schools hold off till the last minute before entering their teams. This is due to the fact that games with rival fives are played every week, and a sudden defeat or upset in dope often prevents a five which intended to enter from turning in their names.
Ten teams have already signified to Manager Hamilton their intention to participate in the big mill. Among these are Wichita high, Reno County, and Wichita last spring. Every one of the ten contestants have good records behind them so far this season, and, by the time thirty or forty more get into the race the Jayhawker students before them, days of good basketball before them.
The girls' teams are always slow in sending in their blanks, and no feminine six has yet enrolled for the coming week. Such such are expected however.
Manager Hamilton wishes all entries to send their blanks to him at once. Practically every high school in the state has received an entry list and the sooner these are filled out and returned the better the matches for the first round of tournament play may be announced.

INDUSTRIES SHOULD CARE FOR THEIR UNEMPLOYED
Always A Good Show
Employers Should Care For Idle Tradesman, Says L. A. Halbert,
K. C. Welfare Worker
the expenses for the keeping of unemployed belongs to the industry in which they are workers rather than employers. The number of cases, was the opinion of L. A. Halbert, general superintendent of the Board of Public Welfare of Kansas City, in the third of the series of lectures given by Dr. Sidney Snow Hall yesterday afternoon.
"We must have better moral and social conditions in our industries," said Mr. Halbert. "We are now confronted by a serious stage of unemployment. In Kansas City there are twice as many workers as were here at this time last year and there are a third more men in the work house.
"In St. Louis men are sleeping in the municipal workhouse on cots without any bedclothing and even on the stairs of the buildings. In Chicago men are compelled to sleep under the beds of other inmates."
According to Mr. Halbert there are several reasons for the existence of these troubles and among these are: the uncertainties of the industries caused by the recent enactment of legislation such as the tariff, currency, control of corporations, and the restriction of railroad rates.
THREE R'S STILL POPULAR
"Readin', 'ritin' and "rithmetic" still are the most popular studies of most popular studies of Kansas students, at any rate with those of the University of Kansas. The departments of English, History and Mathematics enroll more students than any other courses. There are 2,183 students in the English department; 1,219 are reading history, and the number in the department of mathematics is 1,033.
The cost per student for each semester of work in the English department is $10.76. It takes $9.55 to teach a student history for a half year, and the state pays $11.32 every time an employee passes a course in though the most popular, are the least expensive.
