BASEBALL.
At present baseball as a college sport among the schools of the Missouri Valley, seems to be in the last throes of its existence. Nebraska, Ames and Washington have already declared that they will have no teams this year, and the outlook for a varsity nine that will comply with the Conference restrictions, is not encouraging.
Letters have been sent to the Conference schools and the matter will probably be decided this week. Nebraska and Washington have expressed a desire to have the Conference make some arrangements for the game this spring, and Ames is willing to abide by the present ruling of the Conference. No matter what the other schools may say it is the intention of our Conference member to hold out for an unquestioned amateur standing. This will mean that all men who have played in organized baseball will be declared ineligible. All players who cannot be fully certified as to their amateur standing, will be ruled out. The team that the University would put out under such rulings would probably have to be recruited from the home economics department or from the Women's Student Council.
The institution of the inter-school games would cause some interest in the game, but the loss of a varsity nine would be a sad loss to the University. But in any case, the matter ought to be decided soon and the question should not be allowed to wait until the season is ready to open.
Ling is extremely apropos. For years the guests of the University have been subjected to this exasperating clanging of the gong during their speeches, and this mark of impoliteness should receive attention. The situation is embarrassing both to the speaker and to the student body.
ALUMNUS AN APPRAISER.
Responsible Position Given to J. S.Worley, a Graduate.
The communication by Ting-a
J. S. Worley, who graduated from Kansas University in '04 and who is president of the J. S. Worley Engineering Co., of Kansas City, has been employed to investigate the value of the Central Georgia Railway system. This road is 2,500 miles long and its appraisement is a task sought by many expert engineers in the East. The Manhattan, theMetropolitan and the Old Colony Trust companies of New York, trustees for the bondholders of the railway company, have employed Mr. Worley, and upon his figures will depend the outcome of a suit for ten million dollars in interest on bonds since 1906 by the trust companies against the railway. It seems that when E. H. Harriman gained control of the Central Georgia system in 1906, the payment of dividends on stocks stopped.
The work which won Worley his present commission over Eastern competition was the appraisement last fall of the Buffalo and Pittsburg railroad. The amount involved in this transaction was 50 million dollars.

FIRST GAME A TIE.
ROWLANDS COLLEGE BOOK STORE
Kansas and Haskell Quit With Score of 9-9.
The first baseball game of the season last Saturday afternoon with the Haskell Indians resulted in a tie at the close of the ninth inning. The game was called at this point on account of the cold and the fact that the Indians could not stay longer.
Captain Haller managed the game for Kansas from the bench and gave every man who was trying out for the team a chance to play at least one inning at the position that he is trying for.
Howard Blackmar, a sophomore in the College, has left the Uniwersity. He left Saturday for Superior, Neb., where he will travel for an oil company.
FARCE TRY-OUT TONIGHT.

Sophomores Study Strata.
All the sophomore classes in geology assembled at Snow hall at 8:30 o'clock Saturday morning, to take a "hike" up the river toward Cameron's Bluffs, for the purpose of studying the geological formations along the Kaw.
Prof. W. H. Twenhofel accompanied the party as instructor and guide.
Prominent American Designers Have
produced a series of English-American saek suit styles this spring which are destined to make the younger set jump for joy. Smarter designs could scarcely be imagined. As usual in cases of this kind, the less skillful tailors are putting out "copies" of these styles, but the workmanship is so inferior that a few days' wear will destroy all semblance of smartness. Take notice that we are showing the full line of original models, tailored in the best possible manner and made from the finest of foreign and domestic woolens. These with many other effective new styles are exhibited in our excellent lines
