Base Ball club was treated to a little surprise party last Saturday. Neither the boys nor their friends had the least expectation of winning a game from the State-famed McCooks of Fort Leavenworth. And because defeat was anticipated, the delegation which accompanied the nine, to cheer for the boys consisted only of Manager Armstrong. The Boys in Blue, however, were extremely impartial in applauding good plays, and K. S. U. did not lack the enlivening influence of an appreciation of her playing from the assembled crowd of officers and privates. The Base Ball boys are all heartily pleased with their visit to Ft. Leavenworth and vote the soldier boys the best entertainers in the country When the McCooks stepped out into the diamond, all large, muscular men, dressed in a fine uniform, with all the accoutrements that pertain to a professional B. B. club, the hearts of the K. S. U. boys started on a journey toward their heels. But when Adams pasted the ball in the face and trotted to first on an error, and Harvey followed with a two base hit, and Simmons and Davis, both reached first in safety and were brought in by Smith's hard drive, was when the surprise began; and then when Swank caught the fly knocked to center field, and the next two men were gracefully retired on strikes by Smith, the boys started in to play ball, firm in the belief that the McCooks could be shut out. And so it would have been if K. S. U. had not bunched all her errors in one inning. The K. S. U. boys could find the ball whenever a hit was needed and in doing so showed that they have gained remarkably in batting ability, for they batted against Lucas, a man who held Atchison, one of the best clubs in the State, down to two hits. The game was a walk-away for K. S. U, from the very first inning when she secured a winning lead and kept it the rest of the game. Davis did good stick work in the game and made four runs. His catching was up to its usual standard. LAWRENCE. KANSAS, MAY 30. 1890 The following is the score: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 TOTAL K. S. I. 4 0 0 0 1 0 1 4 1 0 13 N. Curtis 4 0 0 0 1 0 1 4 1 0 Smith was in his best form and pitched a phenominal game, holding the McCooks down to only one hit. The batters came up like fierce Numidian lions, but retired meekly like cotswold sheep before Smith's dazzling delivery. Crawford didn't have a chance. Simmons made several good catches at first. Diamond Dust Adams is showing some improvement at second. He stopped one very deceptive grounder and made one good running catch Harvey had his batting clothes on and had a remarkable penchant Harper and Swank both got a chance for a fly and both accepted gracefully. Watson had his usat luck, i.e. he got left three times on the bases. Never mind, "Wattie" old boy, luck will change sometime. The boys are playing a good strong game of ball and in their trip to Emporia deserve that a large crowd accompany them It is disheartening to any nine to go to a strange town with only the manager for a spectator from home. The grounds at the Fort are up hill, with a turf infield, and consequently are a little slow. Many of the boys reached first by slow hits toward their bases. When Baldwin heard the news from Leavenworth, it put their thumbs out of joint. They tried to hire the Ottawa men to play with them in their game up here but failed and gave up the game. Poor Baldwin. Verily thou art afeared before the K, S, U. Samsons. What's the matter with our boys? The boys seem to have missed it in playing the first games at home. F. A. Marshall and Willard McClinton, two old K S. U. boys were out to see the game. The Boys in Blue were blue enough after the game. Manager Armstrong is the man who looks out for the boys. The K. S. U. nine is longing for another chance at Mackey. They believe that they can almost bat him out of the box. The K. S. U. B B.C, will play the Ottawa H. L· F. S. club at Ottawa on June 4th. A Gala Ride. The gentlemen of the Phi Psi fraternity were the pleasant conductors of a big boating party last Tuesday evening. The weather was delightful and the ride up the river was just as charming as it could possibly have been. After a long pull of five miles, the gala fleet was anchored off Cameron's Bluff. Here the boys rubbed their blistered hands and the young ladies spread a delicious lunch and every body had a good time. Those in the party were; Misses Mason, Barrett, Russell, Webber, Love, Barker, Buckingham, Lyons, O'Brien, Maxwell, Churchhill, Van Hoesen, Hadley, Monroe, Price, Henshaw and Hutchings; and Messrs, Peabody, Brewster, Caldwell, Mushrush, Crawford, Spencer, Roberts, Hutchings, Robinson, Owens, Orton, Allen, Hadley, Hudson, McPherson, Swope and Knolton, SUBSCRIPTION ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR The Coming Event. The University is on the eve of a gala week—the red letter event in her annual history is at hand. A few more days of weary toil and then will come the fun:—then will come the time when K, S, U. puts on her sweetest smile and her brightest color, when amid a "feast of reason and a flow of soul!" Kansas becomes proud of her beauty and culture and learning. The coming commencement bids to be the most distinguished in the history of the University.

Such is the program that is to make another triumph for K. S. U. It ought to satisfy you. The Faculty Break Their Record. The annual game of base ball between the Faculty and Seniors took place last Tuesday. The game was exciting and as good as a circus to the large crowd of sympathizing spectators. Both Faculty and Seniors had been practicing for the game and were in good condition for the fray. The score at the end of the 7th inning was 17 to 20 the Seniors came to bat and made two runs while the Faculty went them one better and quit playing. The Seniors objected but the Profs. wanted to ride in Raymond's hacks and so went down town and indulged in Buffalo Mead to their hearts content. The Seniors started in with a vengeance and it seemed for a while as if the Profs. would be immersed in the "consomme" but the Profs, were not to be left in this their last chance for a dig at the pompous Senior and in the fifth inning when the Seniors were quietly chuckling over their seeming victory, the Faculty coming up to the scratch with a smile and with a wicked look in their eyes, promptly proceeded to line out hard drivers. The score at the end of the 4th inning was 13 for Seniors to 8 for Faculty. Prof. Marvin was the first at bat. The ball made a carom on his head and he went to first but was mad about it and stole second. Prof. Carruth got a base on balls and did the thief act for two bases. Profs. Sayre and Robinson fanned out. Prof. Sterling fell up against the ball for a two baser bringing in Carruth. Prof. Canfield lost the ball in the grass in left field and made the circle of the bases. Prof Blake popped up a fly near 1st which Brooks could have got if Esterly had not tried for it and muffed it. Ward made a single Prof. Blackmar reached first on an error and Prof. Blake came home. Prof. Marvin came to bat for the second time, made a hit and Blackmar came in. Carruth retired the side by going out at first; but the mischief was done. The Faculty was ahead, the score was now 15 to 13. The Seniors attempted but failed to retrieve their fallen glory. The Profs, had the lead and they kept it in spite of all the Seniors could do. The following is the score by innings: Data Set: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 TOTAL Senior 4 2 1 2 2 7 0 3 Technician 4 2 1 2 2 7 0 3 Call on Mrs. Savage for Commencement Hats and Bonnets, 901 Massachusetts St.
