Barnegat Barnhill, Lord of the Quoins and Keys, patient from breaking in managing editors, started things by getting passed to the primal air hole. He came up gasping and was promoted to sophomore standing by a little rolling hit. Afterward he trod the galley safety.
ARRIVAL OF THE IRON CRAFT
About this time the mask arrived and the catcher came into his regal arhengate behind the bat. He had been taking them on the bounce, base stealing prohibited.
ARRIVAL OF THE IRON CAGE.
To merry swat of willow and hickory against horsehide, the zing of hot liners and the putt putt of bouncing ground-driers, the baseball artists that for pastime work in the Daily Kansas office, yesterday afternoon, beethen from the blithe metropolitan office upntown at Woodland Park.
CARROLL'S
PROFESSOR THORPE STARTS IT
It is hard to tell where the carriage began. Professor Thorpe got a hit in the first inning. Hit, said we?
It was a glorious, mellifluous swat, and when the panting fielders had been flying globes, the professor spermated contentedly on the antepenult.
He defied the anti-pass law and flitted to the third circle. Just as he was about to render John Howard a sentence, his lawyer, the writer, post up, cravenly fanned.

Attention, Students!
Guy Pennock, the liner tamer, started the game on third but was transferred to left field by Captain Thorpe who, assisted by his colleague, took very good care of the tertiary epoch.
Dad Westfall, pressman, later in the game matriculated on a fat swat, and in the course of a few base hits, took his degree also.
When the last hop had been commuted, the sons of Brady, who had quite consistently been the hoppees, were, gamely it must be admitted, holding onto the thin end of a 12 to 3 quod erat.
It is useless to record all of our 12 scores, and besides, etiquette to our down town adversaries forbids. They were mostly on errors, but as none of them was proficient with English Daily Kansan's warriors are not immune from the shafts of criticism.
"Goat getter" Gardner, managing ed., heaved the first half of the picnic for the Varsity printers and Curlure Colin, the proof author, worked on the moraine for the last three innings. These gentlemen played the reversible battery stump in great heat to their credit,Colin whiffed the first six batters who faced him, besides getting two generous whangs and casting a pair of votes.

Suffice it is to say that the town boys have demanded another game, but the Daily Kansan team wants to "pick on some one o' their own size," the Pharmies or Medics preferred, and the game to be played on Student's Day.

BASEBALL INVASION OPENS WITH VICTORY
Sherwin's Men Defeated William Jewell by a Score of 6 to 4
KANSAS ALWAYS IN THE LEAD
In Spite of a Patched up Team the
Jawhawkers Won Easily-
Walker Pitched Good Ball
Sherwin's Kansas Crippeis won the first battle of the Missouri baseball invasion yesterday when they defeated William Jewell College at Liberty, Missouri. The score was 6 to 4.
very much patched appearance. Captain Hicks did not accompany the team because of his injury, "Bunny" Wilson filled his place at first, while Deichman chased flies in the left garden. Ogden was also absent from the line up because of a split hand. Binkleman caught for the hopes and Dinkley filled his place in the field.
From the scoring of the first run in the opening act till the last man was out Kansas never loosened her hold on the game. In the sixth inning the Jewells threatened to become dangerous, but were promptly squelched.
Kansas led off with a score in the first and held the one run lead till the fifth when they chased four more tallys across. It was in this particular session that the Jewells saw fit to surrender their chances to decorate the win column. Three hits were coupled with an equal number of bone heads by the locals and Kansas romped away.
After the Jewels had made four runs the Kansans decided to make the thing sure and added one in the ninth.
The Liberty team collected three uns in the seventh by making their first hits and taking advantage f a Kansas bobble.
Walker pitched good ball for the Jayhawkers allowing but three hits. Lantz for the locals was hard hit when hits meant runs.

BATTING AVERAGE OF COLLEGIATES LOW
Weakest Point in College Base Ball Is in Swinging the Stick
Pitching is the strong point and batting the weak point in college baseball, according to O. F. Field, in charge of the baseball squad at the University of Missouri. That pitching is the strong point is probably due, partly at least, to the fact that batting is the weak point. Witness the fact that probably not more than one out of three college pitchers that try out on professional teams make good.
"Men that come out for college baseball have neglected batting all their life," said Mr. Field. "They receive their training in the field, catching the ball, while some one man did all the batting.
"In college baseball," continued Mr. Field, "the problem is to take a few available men and from them make a team." There's little picking about it. As a rule but few men are in these teams, so these men take to their places as a duck does to water. There is but little shifting of men."
A great deal is made of insid
baseball in professional playing.
Mr. Field says that not much can be
made of it in College playing.
Signals are little used. The men are not
together long enough.
College teams meet each other only two or three times a season. For this reason a pitcher can never know the batter that he must throw to. Each man that stands before him is a stranger. This is another disadvantage that college coaches have to meet.
Baseball more than any other sport offers great opportunities for individual starring. Each man is a distinctive part of the game. Every play that comes his way is an opportunity to star. He, and he alone, makes the play.
Mr. Field lays a good deal of stress on individual work and the willingness of the player to take chances. Some men who show up well in practice, who take chances and make mistakes, and who take the 'test' comes in, the actual game.
Mr. Field offers some advice to men who would make the college team. "Learn to bat," he said. "Learn the game thoroughly, of
"A man must show a great deal of individuality," said Mr. Field. "Men that are timid and afraid will never make baseball players. Chances must be taken. Men must be nery and cool-headed, too."

course, but above all improve your batting. That's the point that needs strengthening."

SPARKS FLY SATURDAY Kansas High School Record Breakers to Clash With Missouri Athletes
The indications are for a general smash up of the state inter-scholastic records when the high school stars clash with the other athletes to be present at the Invitation Meet next Saturday. It is expected that at least one hundred men will be on McCook Field in track suits that day.
The majority of the record breakers of the state meet, to whom invitations have been extended, will be present and all are reported to be able to do even better than they did in the state meet. It is almost impossible to pick the winner of the meet, as so many dark horses will be present. Doping it out from past performances, however, it looks like either Lawrence or Central high school will come out victorious. Central, it will be remembered, defeated Lawrence by a ten point margin in the dual meet, but this lead will probably be overcome by the close competition in the weight events.
McDonald and Hutwig, winners of the state meet, are doped to make J. Reber, Central's strong man, heave his law. Lawrence is expected to be especially strong in the half mile, mile, broad jump, and possibly the quarter.
The rewards for this meet will be the same as for the state meet.. Gold, silver and bronze cups will be awarded to those breaking records and to the highest individual point winners.
