LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MAY 15, 1891.
The First of the Triangular Games Between Washburn and K. S. U. Results in a Score of 8 to 7 in Favor of the Latter.
It was a jolly crowd of students that made up the excursion to Topeka last Saturday to attend the first of the triangular base ball games between K. S. U. and Washburn. About seventy five students were in line when the procession marched from the Santa Fe depot in Topeka, down 5th and up Kansas avenue and it is putting it very mild to say that they attracted a great deal of attention. At almost every corner the University yell was given and experience has taught Topeka people what that yell means. At the National the crowd disbanded and soon the wearers of the yellow and blue were scattered all over the city, to be called together at 1:20 in order to proceed to Washburn college in a body.
The game from this on up to the sixth inning resulted in nothing remarkable, with the exception of some wretched in-field work on both sides. At the beginning of the sixth the score stood 6 to 1 in Kansas University's favor, but after the most exciting inning of the game the score was tied. This was brought about by numerous errors by the Kansas Universitys and a
The game was called at 2:30 and it seemed that there were more students representing K. S. U. than Washburn. From first to last the game was marked by the gentlemanly and good natured way in which it was carried on, and the general good feeling manifested by every one. Mr. Rice, of Baker, was the ampire and throughout the entire game gave general satisfaction. The following are the nines:
State University, Washburn,
Kinzie Pitcher Tucker
Sherman Catcher Saltillan
Hogg Short stop Mohler
Simmona First base McVear
Craeford Second Base Guild
Harvey Left field Miller
Fessler Third base Stors
Smith Center field Mercer
Morse Light field Wellding
The State University boys took the bat first, and through some very bad work all around on Washburn's part, succeeded in getting three men over the plate. This started the howlers, and the Kansas University boys' college yell was given every other minute. Washburn failed to score.
The Kansas University boys drew naught in the second. Washburn fared better, however, and placed one straight mark to her credit. In this inning Miller, for Washburn, made the star play of the day, by a beautiful running catch of a foul fly. The play was deservedly applauded.
two base hit by Sullivan and a beautiful three baser by Guild, both hits bringing in two men. The inning yielded five runs for the home club and Washburn's enthusiasts took a turn at howling.
From this on the game was most stubbornly contested. At the beginning of the seventh, Sherman, for the visitors, made first on an error of Mohler's and continued on to third on a lost ball, but was left there, the next two men being fielded out. In the Washburn half of the inning, Tucker went out at first from short, and Mohler did the very same thing. Weilding hit safe, stole second, but Sullivan's fly to center put the side out with no runs.
The eighth began with every one lost in excitement. Harvey, the colored player, earned first on a slow one to third. Fessler's fly to center was muffed, Harvey taking center on the play. Smith struck out, but Fessler came in on the throw down. Sherman went out on a fly. Score 8 to 6 in the visitors' favor.
Guild fer the Washburn's hit safely, stole second and took third on a passed ball. Miller went out at first. McVicar hit safe over first, bringing in Guild. McVicar was caught trying to steal second. Storrs was put on a fly. Score, 7 to 8 in the visitors' favor.
For Washburn Mohler was retired at first. Tucker was caught out and Mercer struck out, leaving the score 7 to 8.
Following is the score by innings:
State University . 3 0 1 0 2 0 0 2 0 -8
Washburn . . . 1 0 0 0 0 5 0 1 0 -7

From 7 o'clock until the train left at midnight the boys made things luminous around Topeka and many a weary policeman breathed a sigh of relief when the last joyful "enthusiast" boarded the train for the return trip. The run down was made in about two hours and although much fun was had in the car, nearly every one was so tired that they were indeed glad when Lawrence was reached.

The Law Library received a very valuable addition recently consisting of ferty volumes of reports, digests, a number of volumes of the Congressional Globe and an entire set of United States statutes up to about 1860. This valuable addition is a part of the library of the late Gen. C.W.Babcock. They were presented to the department by Mrs. C.W.Babcock to whom the dean is under great obligations, as a number of the volumes are very hard to obtain in any other way.

The Junior American History class pasted the following notice on Prof. Canfield's door last Friday. "Professor we have gone to the circus, please excuse us." Then followed a list of the members in the scheme under which was the historic line "If we don't hang together we will hang separately." It is needless to say that the professor kindly excused all those whose youthful nature could not withstand the huge posters, brass-band and the procession.
K. S. U. has won the first game of base ball. It was not a walk-away but a hard fought and honestly won game. We feel proud of our boys and are confident K. S. U. will come out ahead. One characteristic of the game at Wasoburn last Saturday was the enthusiasm which K.S.U boys carried with them. Nothing so helps a ball team as a large and confident delegation encouraging them with their yells. We were glad to hear of the general good will which prevailed at the game but we think the receiving club ought to show more thought and courtesy to the visiting one. There was no one at the depot to meet our fellows and they in a hap hazzard manner had to find their own way to the college grounds. The home club should see that a committee meet the visiting club and give them all needed directions and information. It would make the visiting nine feel more at ease. Let courtesy and good will mark all the games.
