HITS 'MAGS' HARD
Increased Railroad Rate Soaks
W. L. Club Owners. j
Mileage To Be an Important
Item in Schedule Making.
When the Western league magnates
Katht r in Lincoln, Neb., on February
14 to arrange the playing schedule for
the coming season the gathering may
not resemble what Henry Ford once
thought a peace conference should be,
and it is more than likely that there
will be the usual scramble for holiday
dates at home, and the usual vain ef
forts of magnates to manufacture the
ideal schedule will probably be exert
ed Also there is a possibility that
some of the magnates will go home
thinking they didn't get just what they
expected. ..
IJiit, in one thing there is certain to
be harmonv. Kvery magnate who at
tends will agree- that- a schedule of
the -hortest mileage possible be adopt
ed, and in order to cut down the dis
tance that will have to be traveled
some of them will probably sacrifice
some of their other desires. For, be it
known that the recent raising of inter
state passenger fares has caused the
club owners to study the railroad maps
more diligently than they ever did be
fore. . Wg Item.
Transportation has always been an
Important item in the Western league.
The average club of the league travels
between seven and eight thousand
mile on a 140-gnme schedule during a
season, and with fifteen or sixteen
men the increased fare means that
everv club will have to contribute be
tween fne and six humlreit dollars
more to vhe railroad coffers this i sea
son than they did last. And If the
schedule is increased, as a number of
club owners claim it should, their in
creased contribution will be more than
One of the club owners in contem
plating this additional drain on his
bank roll leaned back in his chair and
sighed as he remarked:
Ye they get us going and coming.
It's too' bad the clubs in the league are
not within walking distance of each
other." - . .
John Savage, owner oi u
club, is not giving out any informa
tion as to what he expects In the way
of at-home dates, but inasmuch as
Topeka had onlv one holiday, Labor
Tay l ist season it is generally thought
that the local club will be at home on
the Fourth of July this season. There
Is no chance for either Topeka or
Wichita to get Decoration Pay games,
as there is a state law In Kansas pro
hibiting baseball on this day.
Length of Schedule.
It nlo seems to be impossible to
get anv idea as to what the length of
the schedule will be. .So far President
Zchrung has not given his opinion on
the matter and some of the club own
ers are for a longer schedule while
other., have come out In favor of Stick
ing to the 140-game program, and still
others have not expressed themselves.
However, it seems probable that more
than 141 games will be played.

PENNSYLVANIA WANTS
TO PURIFY ATHLETICS
Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 29. A
campaign for the purification of
college and school athletics was
launched here Friday at a meeting
of the Association of College Presi
dents of Pennsylvania. The asso
ciation, which Includes in its mem
bership the heads of all the promi
nent educational Institutions in this
state, decided to adopt a one year's
residence rule for students coming
from other colleges and to frown
upon the practice of granting schol
arships for athletic ability.
NORMAL HERE TONIGHT
Emporia, Teachers Will Play Ichabod
Quintet In Washburn Gym.
Tonight the Washburn basketball
team will play the Emporia Normal
quintet In the Washburn gymnasium,
the game being the last on the local
court for the Ichabods before they
make their tour to Sallna, Llndsborg
and McPherson next week.
Tonight's game will start at 7:30
and a lively contest is anticipated.
The Normals are going good and In
the race for the state title, and the
Ichabods are very anxious to win at
least one game from a strong team.
Coach Gray's men have been given
all the practice they could take this
week, and are reported to be stronger
than they have been since the season
opened. Their team work is better
and they are more accurate at goal
shooting. On the other hand, the
Normals are still feeling the sting of
the defeat they received at the hands
of the Aggies and will probably try
for a big score to bury it under.

E. C. Quigley Is the Greatest
Traveled
ALWAYS ON THE GO
Noted Kansan Trayels More
Than 28,000 Miles a Year.
Baseball, Football and Basket
ball His Specialties. .
THERE IS NO OFF SEASON'
He Is Kept Busy From Janu
ary Until December.
First Made His Reputation at
K. V. and St. Marys.
Ernest C. Quigley, of St. Marys, Na
tional league umpire, basketball ref
eree and football official, and one of
the most famous Kansans who ever
made a national reputation In the
world of spcrt, has the unique distinc
tion of being the greatest traveled
sport official in the whole wide world.
If you don't believe that Quigley
holds this distinction, alone, without a
rival, take a look at these cold facts
and figures and then produce, if you
can, someone to dispute them.
Quigley is probably the only man
in the United States who makes offi
ciating his sole business and profes
sion, working at it twelve months a
year, and his reputation as an engin
eer of basketball, football and base-
uaii guinea ceruiiniy exienus over a.
greater amount of territory than any
other whistle blower or indicator
manipulator in the country. From the
Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico and
from beyond the tallest peaks of the
Rockies to the nose of the longest
neck of land that dips into the At
lantic, the famous Kansas Celt is
known as a sport official and he
spends practically all of his time trav
eling over this broad area for the pur
pose of "handling games."
28,S97 Miles a Year.
But if you are still unconvinced,
take a peep at the figures. During
the past year Quigley has traveled a
total of 28,397 miles, going from
place to place to practice his profes
sion. This distance is more than the :
total distance around the world by i
several thousand miles. It is more !
than nine times the distance from j
New York to Liverpool, and almost j
SO times the distance from Chicago j
to New York. j
There Is no off season In the offi- i
elating game as "Quig" follows it,
and he is on the go every month in
' the year. Beginning the first of Jan- J
: uary he is kept busy as a basketball
i referee until March is well under
i way. From then until October he
wears the mask of a baseball umpire
and from October until December he
devotes his attention to gridiron
, games and usually during the latter
part of December when he is anxious
to do a little Christmas shopping for
the family he is pressed into service
to handle the few pre-season basket
I ball contests.
I Busy All the Time.
j "His Umps" is considered one of the
; best basketball authorities in the Mis
souri Valley and his services are al-
I ways greatly in demand all over the
valley. Last season he traveled 4,049
I miles In going to and returning from
basketball games, and this year he
is booked to work In forty some odd
games before the season closes.
As soon as basketball is over, Quig
ley gets out his mask, chest protector
and indicator and goes to the baseball
diamond. For the past few years
he has been a regular National league
umpire- considered one of the best
the Tener staff ever boasted and in
1915 he traveled 18,641 miles going
from one National league team to an
other to umpire. All of his trips
during the baseball season, - except
those between New York and Brook
lyn and Philadelphia are made in
sleepers, so it is readily seen that his
railroad fare amounts to a goodly sum
in the course of a season. In fact, it
amounts to more than the average
salaried man makes.
After the baseball season is over,
"Quig" returns to his home In St.
Marys and remains there long enough
to shake hands with his old friends,
cover up the flowers to protect them
against the winter freezes and shovel
enough coal into the cellar to keep
his family warm until spring. Then
he gets out his football tools and be
comes a football official.
Long Football Trips.
Last season he covered 5.707 miles
in the capacity of a football official,
working in games in Kansas, Missouri,
Official in

ft ;;;J ; ri ; . pi
A lis
The Greatest Traveling
Sport Official Inline World, jff
Nebraska and Texas. And as a foot
ball official Quigley proably has made
his best reputation. The name he
has made for himself on the grid
Iron is indicated by the fact that the
university authorities paid his ex
penses from Kansas City, Mo., to
Austin, Tex.- a distance of 1,114
miles and paid him a handsome fee
besides to go to Texas last fall to of
ficiate in the Texas-Notre-Dame grid
iron contest.
Quigley Is a product of the Univer
sity of Kansas. However, he first
made a big reputation for himself iry
the world of sport at St. Marys col
lege, where he turned out such foot
ball and basketball teams as the school
had never before seen.
Believing that Quigley's mileage rec
ord is so much greater than that of
any other official in the world, and
believing that it will prove interesting,
it has been compiled in detail as fol

Sport Wheezes
-BY CLUG
Tonight the Washburn Ichabods and
Emporia Normal goal tossers will hold
an argument in the Washburn gymna
sium. Since the Normals were unable to
do anything with the Aggies, the Icha
bods hope to make it an interesting
game. 1
The promoter who conceived the
idea of holding boxing bouts with mu
sical accompaniments certainly knows
the tastes of the modern fighters.
Many of them are better dancers than
fighters.
When the Western league club own
ers gather in Lincoln next month to
make their 1916 schedule the Lincoln
! rotary club will entertain them with
! a luncheon.
I President Zehrung, the new head of
' the league, is a prominent Rotarian
and ex-president of the Lincoln club,
and the Lincoln Star announces that
the Tiger Rotarians are planning a
great baseball booster campaign for
the coming season.
IT NEVER LEAKS.
In playing all games,' the same rule
i applies,
A man's never bumbled s'long as he
tries.
Prtns; a failure's no cause fbr shame.
Many have fallen who now lead In
fame.
All pups must be trailers when first
they track.
All have been trailers who now lead
the pack.
To a man who's a man failure but
fils
Ills soul with more fight and the
game more thrills.
Indications are that amateur base
ball will attain a prominence during
the coming season it has never known
before. The amateurs are organizing
in all the principal cities and are get-
! ting on a more solid lounaation.
I For the past several years Topeka
i has had a high class of amateur ball,
; furnished by the City league. But, ac
i cording to the announcement of Presi-
dent Snyder, the prospects for the
j coming season are not so bright as
I they have been in the past, and inter
j est seems to be lacking.
I The Masked Marvel, Mort Hender
,son, proved about as easy picking for
I Joe Stecher, the Nebraska grappler,
as Cutler and the other marvels have,
i Unless Lewis or Gotch do something
I to Mr. Stecher pretty soon he will find
, himself without opponents to conquer.
I Western league club owners have
until the first of March to send con
tracts to players and John Savage, of
the local club, states that he is in no
hurry about the matter. So far Wich
ita and Denver are the only clubs that
have announced that contracts have
' been mailed.
BASEBALL SCRIPTURE.
Surely the churning of milk brlng
eth forth butter, and the wringing of
the nose hrliigeth forth blood; so
doth the hitting of many sale ones
fatten a batting average greatly.
The spit ball king and the speed
monarch, Ty Cobb liatli made even
both of them look foolish.
In a little court proceedings, arising
out of the Stecher-Masked Marvel
bout, it was disclosed that the M. M..
Strangler Lewis and the other top
liners in the N. Y. tournament have
been receiving straight salaries just
like actors do. Well, if they are not
actors what are they?
This week's issue of Sporting News
'states that Pitcher Goodbred. pur
chased by the local club from the
I Brooklyn Nationals, is under a "war
itime contract" to Brooklyn. If this is
I a. fact, and if he will not release
; Brooklyn from this contract Topeka is
i liable not to be able to hold him. as
i under such a contract Brooklyn would
'have to pay him the difference bs-
tween what the Topeka club would
j pay him and what his "wartime" doc
ument calls for. And there is a West
iern league ruling that forbids signing
j players under these conditions.
