BEATEN BY BAKER.
Slow Playing and a crippled Team the Cause—Score 4 to 2
The K. S. U. team suffered its first defeat of the season on Decoration Day, and it was Baker that administered the dose. It was a well played game and the Bakerites won simply because they played better ball. K.S.U. played a slow game which lacked "ginger" throughout. Our boys were in hard luck. Simmons had a lame hand, Piatt was sick and had to retire, and in this crippled condition, the boys lost confidence. The fielding was ragged at times, and slow all the way through, the batting was very weak. In two different innings the bases were filled with no one out, but the side went out in one, two, three order without bringing in a run.
A number of changes had been made in the Baker team, and the whole nine showed evidence of hard and systematic practice. Every member of the team played well. Dudgeon pitched an excellent game but was a little wild.
Neither club scored until the sixth inning, when each got a run. For Baker, Taylor was hit by a pitched ball, stole second, and came in on a couple of errors.
In the second half Kinzie was given a life by Rice's muff of his liner. He stole second and came home on a wild throw by Beeks. K. S. U. took the lead in the next inning. Sherman hit for two bases and came home on Crawford's single.
Baker won the game in the ninth. Toomey hit a vicious grounder which Crawford stopped half way out to the fence and threw to first, but Toomey beat it out. Rice raised a high fly to short right field which some one should have got,but it fell safe. Wright and Ernest hit safe and Skinner's ground hit was fumbled and three runs came in. K. S. U. tried hard to score in her half of the inning. Crawford made a long single but tried to make a two bagger of it, and was thrown out at second, and Sherman and Hogg went out at first.

NOTES.
Piatt was taken sick and had to retire in the sixth inning. Harding took his place and was presented with a base on balls the only time he came to the bat.
Simmons should not be put on first base again till his hand has healed. That split finger of his interfrees both with his batting and fielding.
Sherman was not hit very hard, but K. S. U. must not expect the pitcher to win the game alone.
The field day sports were held Saturday, the 28th, on the Massachusetts street ground. A rain had made the ground rather slippery and soft, but in spite of this the records were fairly good. The exercises were interesting and some of the contests were quite amusing. A large crowd witnessed the sport. The contests requiring a track were held at the driving park.
Field Day.
Field day will be looked forward to with more interest next year. We will have our own grounds and apparatus for training. There are men in the school, who with proper training, will show great skill in the sport and the athletic board no doubt will see that they are interested.
The best records in eastern colleges are made by western men. We should be able to point with pride to ours. Some of them compare favorably now with those of the east. They are gradually being raised. This year Kuntz brought up the ball throwing record a foot and a half. Our teams have done well in the field and it is a result of taining. The same attention to the field day sports would result in similar excellence.
