Seven minutes of the first quarter elapsed before Dwight Ream scored the first point on a free toss. All through the quarter both teams played in a listless sort of way and made poor attempts to pass the ball. At the end of the quarter. Southwestern had scored 10 points on four baskets and two free throws and Washburn had totaled 8 on two baskets and four free goals. In the second quarter the Washburn players tightened up a little and play ing was some faster. Pinky Beals opened up the scoring for Washburn with two successive field goals.

There is ' no chance for Kansas City to retain Its place in the Federal league, the franchise having been sold to P. T. Powers and the deal closedaccording to President Gilmore.

Playing rules as well as the sched ule will be discussed at Buffalo, Feb. 26 and 27, when Federal league club owners, managers and umpires will gather in response to a call issued by Gilmore.

National League Magnates Down to Work In Earnest Today. New York, Feb. 10. Approval of the 1915 playing schedule, the adop tion of a new waiver rule and the of ficial decision to withhold New York territorial rights sought by the Inter national league In the Bronx consti tuted the program before the National league today. - The league yesterday discussed the recalling of waivers. This custom has been abused during the past few sea sons and a rule against the recall of waivers after they are once made probably will be approved today. At the session of the board of di rectors which preceded the regular meeting Tuesday. President Teter an nounced that he had appointed as um pires the following: R. D. Kmslie. William J. Klem, Mai Eason, William Byron, K. C. Quigley, William Hart and AI Orth.

(By CI aa) Report comes from the west that the Red Line basketball team is still making a clean sweep of the Glasco to Denver tour. The Downs team lost to the Red Liners by the score of 40 to 19; the Portia Dynamos 32 to 22; and the Plalnville Athletic club 49 to 20. The following are the players who compose the team: Alf Copple, Chester Walderson, , Frank McCul- lough, Dave Williams. Howard Gray and J. M. Davidson. On returning ' from Denver, the team will start on a Glasco to Kansas tour and will meet any team along the line that is looking for a good, fast game. . . . , It is understood that if Topeka re mains on the Western league circuit, which is extremely doubtful, the open ing game will be played with Wichita at Wichita. Also, the Fourth of July game will be with Denver in the Mile- High city. - . This information ' has leaked out from the league owners who are In Chicago for the purpose of arranging a schedule, but who nave been neia up all this week pending action on the Topeka muddle. Also, it is understood that Topeka had been awarded the shortest milage routing in the league which shows that the League owners are willing to do everything possible to "help the hoss Out of the ditch." A queer situation presented itself at the basketball game x between South western and Washburn Wednesday night. 'At the. end of the first half Southwestern was ahead and Coach Bates was as mad as a wet rooster because his men were not playing to suit him. At the end of the game Washburn was ahead and Coach Gray was just as angry as Mr. Bates was and had been. The fact was that neither team played an aggressive game. Seven minutes of the first half had been ticked away before a point was scored. Often, when one of the players would get the ball he would hold it as much as 30 seconds before "passin it on." In the second half Washburn did dis play a little of her old-time Pep, but even then there was not enough of it to sneeze about. Tonight Southwestern plays Baker at Baldwin City and tomorrow night Washburn meets the Baldwinltes at the same place. And. unless both teams play different ball from the variety they were peddling Wednes day night. Baker will have to have an adding machine corps to be able to count her scores. Guy S. Lowman, athletic director at the Agricultural college, appeared in Topeka as a sport official for the first time this season when he carried the whistle in the Washburn-Southwest-prn srame Wednesday night. Mr. Low- man is the kind or omciai wno neuevw there is only one way to run a game the right way and he comes as near rinine It as any man In Kansas. Some nf th nlavers think he is too strict. but he merely makes them hew close to the rules and don't allow the play- era to dictate to him. Mr. Lowman says baseball prospects are bright at Aggieville this year and that indnnr nractice will begin In oornost in a. short time. No ar rangements have been made as yet Tnr a. football coach next f all. although there are many, applications for the Job and it will be an easy maner to arrt a ennd one. Mr. Lowman will continue to coscn baseball a formerly. In spite oi tne fact that he has a man's work In his i-oiriilnr ranacitv. But. coacning Due hull i his snecialtv. and there is not a man who is laminar wnii ms wur along this line who won't tell you he Ib tha best In tne State, ana msii Charley Deal, who has jumped the Braves for the Feds because ueorge stailinm would not consent to raise his salary, really had much to do with winning the world title from the Athletics last zau. mis piayuiB at tYiirit hnjm was nothing snort ot brilliant, and It is questionable it H.ii" Smith, whose nlace Deal iook, could have done as well. In the first game Deal probably paved the way fnr a victnrv wnen ne Jiaoaiea Schmidt's throw to third after the latter had gone to right field for Baker's foul and Schmidt's throw to ston Murphy. Deal made a rom.-irknhia ston of the ball, and then, by a quick twist of his body, touched the runner, lust in the nick of time. This happened in the first inning. It was Deal who made a' two base hit over Strunk s head, and it was ne who scored the only run that after noon. Deal also figured in the play that dav when Schang was retired while going from second to third on a half passed ball oy uowoy, ueai handlinsr the throw perfectly. In the two games at Boston Deal played without a flaw. Notre Dame's football game with West Point November 6, apparently will furnish .the country with about the best line of dope on the respective powers of the eastern and western elevens. Definite word that Harvard and Michigan will not get together this year makes the engagement be tween the Catholics and West Point the leading intersectlonal battle of the year. New York. Feb. 10. Some of the old tricks of the ring still are in use despite the frigid looks of the boxing public and the new generation of fighters. Of course, the days when a boxer could work his man around to the wings so some second could slam him with a board and put him to sleep, are past. But there are several leading boxers who owe a great deal of their "cleverness to the little aids, perfectly harmless, probably, Jut still aids. One of the most common of all Is the use of grease.

From the viewpoint of the average tan he appears cleverer and quicker on hia feet. t In Willie Beecher's recent ten round fiasco with Champion Freddie Welsh at the Garden, the Ernst Side boy was as slippery as an eel. He appeared much faster than he really is and he got away with it in good shape. The referee,, could have disqualified him had he so minded, but so long aa Welsh or his seconds didn't offer ob jections Willie stayed greased. Another aged wheeze still in plae tice hi .that of plastering their hair down with camphor ice. There are two objects in this: One. that it keeps the hair from, dropping down over their eyes, and. two. camphor ice when in close proximity to the eys has a ten dency to make them blink and water a little. It isn't harmful, but ft cer tainly is annoying. In a clinch when their heads are close together the fumes are sure to have some effect. Many boxers still make use of Stan ley Ketchel's old trick. The man killer used to rub oil into his pores before going into the ring. The stuff wasn't noticeable at first, but when he began to perspire he became the pro verbial "chain of greased lightning," sliding in and out of clinches with amazing speed. BEATS CHAMPION AGAIN. Joe Sbugme Defeats Freddie Webb in Fast New York Bout. New York, Feb. 10. Joe Shugrue, the Jersey City lightweight, again proved too much for Freddie Welsh, world's champion of that class, in a ten round bout at Madison Square Garden here Tuesday night. In their previous meeting here Welsh had the better of only two of the rounds, but in Tuesday night's battle, his best efforts earned him no better than an even break in two rounds the sixth and seventh. Shu grue led in all the others. The box ers weighed In, as agreed, under 135 pounds at 3 o'clock." Their ringside weights were: Welsh 186; Shugrue 136. Welsh fought faster than in his pre vious battle with the Jersey lad. but Shugrue showed marked improve ment in cleverness. In fact, the Jer sey boy at times outboxed the cham pion and was far better In the mlxups. He met Welsh coming in with stiff punches to the body while Welsh fre quently sent over hard lefts to the face. Many times Shugrue surprised the onlookers by blocking the lefts and caused the champion to miss as often as he himself did. The bout started at a slower pace than the recent . one, but the men fought at top speed before the second round was finished. .
