Ding Dong ! The hearts of all the K. S. U. and Lawrence base ball "fans" are filled with grief and despondency. The K. S. U. nine met with blasting defeat in both games with Emporia. The Emporia boys were not allowed to go home triumphant, for they met the vily Indain on his own battle ground and fell, victims to the puzzling curves of Mackey the Indian pitcher. The K. S. U. team shows lack of practice in their positions in the diamond, and also lack of vim and energy in playing. No game was ever won by such playing as the K. S. U. nine put up last Friday and Saturday. The nine needs lots of practice; two hours per day may bring the University to the front in base ball matters, but there are some in the nine that two hours per day will never make good ball players. In last Friday's game the defeat may be placed thus: The Emporias stepped into the diamond as if confident of victory while the K. S. U men took their positions with a lackadaisical, nonchalant air as if accepting defeat from the first. In the sixth inning Emporia took a spurt and clinched the game by making seven runs. K. S. U. did not really begin to play until the last inning when it was too late to recover the game. Smith did good work in the box but failing ot receive the sup port of the field, he gave up and allowed the Emporias to hit him freely. The game Saturday forenoon does not deserve to be called a game, and we believe that we will receive the thanks of all the boys if we do not publish a detailed score of the game. The game with the Indains was hardly a fair game for the Emporias. They had just played two games and were tired and besides were scared by tales of Mackey's feats in the box. The following are the scores for the three games Emporia played here; LAWRENCE KANSAS, MAY 16. 1800. Players A.B B. R. 1B. S. B. P. O. A. E.

Mackey fanned out thirteen met of the Emporia's. The boys are practicing every day and say they will beat William Jewell to-morrow. We hope so. Harper made a good running catch out in right field in Saturday's game. The nine must win to-morrow; if they don't, meet the boys with a serenade of tin horns when they return. J. M. Parrington, president of the State Oratorical Association, was captain of the Emporia club and evidently knows how to play ball as in five times at bat he made four runs, a two base hit, three stolen bases, and played without an error. When Capt Parrington drove Umpire Sugro from the field, he insulted a just and careful man and lowered himself to a degree seldom attained by babies. Capt. Parrington is either younger than he looks or he has been raised on milk. It was a mistake that Esterly was left from the games. If he is weak at short, he is certainly a far better man than any fielder the club has: besides he manages to hit the ball—while Watson and Harper and Swank—well, that's so, they do sometimes. A glance at the facts will show you that Crawford played a very steady and creditable game at short. Besides he hit the ball. We expect to stake a good deal on Crawford's work before the season is over. Base ball men are hard to find since the defeat. Before last Saturday nearly every boy in school thought he could play better than any of the men in the nine; now he knows he can and hence life is a burden to the boys of the nine. Bets are freely offered on both K. S. U. and William Jewell. Those who ought to know say that K. S. U. will play a winning game if they play as well as in the practice games this week. Prof Geo. B Penny, of the State Normal School will succeed Prof. McDonald as Dean of the School of Music Prof. McDonald's Successor. Prof. Penny was graduated from Cornell University in 1885. Since then he has studied at Syracuse University and in England, France and Germany He has since graduating held professorships at Girton Seminary and Dalhousie College, Halifax and at the Metropolitan Conservatory, New York city. Two years ago Prof. Penny was called to the chair of music in the State Normal School. Here he has met with remarkable success. Prof. Penny will go abroad again this summer spending most of the time at Leipzig, Germany. It seems as though the University was exceedingly fortunate in securing a man of so much ability and professional experience. We welcome Prof. Penny to his new position and hope for him all possible success. We Bet on the Ladies The Senior class hereby challenge the faculty to play a matched game of ball for championship on or before commencement week. We Bet on the Ladies Pres., Florence Reasoner. Sec., Inez Taggart. The above challenge is the sentiments of the class and Manager Reasoner is busy searching out the seniors who are willing to appear once without their dignity and before a guying crowd of Sophs and Freshies. The Juniors are all anxious to umpire the game. With a Junior as umpire the Faculty would surely win We warn you seniors, the juniors remember the tree and Roberts dip into the tub and are harboring REVENGE.!! with a big R and exclamation points. A Good Thing. Quite a number of the University boys will spend their vacation in establishing circulating libraries in Kansas towns for an Iowa firm. A library association is formed in each town with shares at $2.50 apiece. The members select three books for each share from a catalogue of over 600 volumes many of them copyrighted, such as E.P.Roe, George Kennan, and Edward Belley's works. Very little capital is required to start and the company has the unqualified endorsement of eminent educators in Iowa and Kansas. There is hardly a village in the state in which the leading citizens would not be glad to see something of the kind started. F. A. Finical and Theo Shaffer are two who will probably engage in in the business. Persons desiring information may consult these gentleman, or the H. Parmler Library Co. De Moisne, Iowa. Senior Reception. Invitations are out for the Chancellors reception of the Senior class. It will take place in Snow Hall a week from to day. Since Regent Spangler has been connected so intimately with the University this year he and his pleasant wife will assist Chancellor and Mrs Snow in receiving. Refreshments will be served and a most pleasant time can be justly anticipated. Just Look at This. The recent performances of the opera, "Bells of Corneville" must be counted as the most brilliant entertainments ever given in Lawrence. There was nothing about the company to convince you that it was made up of home talent: one ignorant of the fact would have given it an enviable place as a professional troupe We have never seen an amateur performance of more beauty, talent and preeminent excellence. The entertainments have been given for a noble cause-the building of a city hospital. If for no other reason the COURIER is glad that they have been so very successful. Quite a number of university students took part in the opera; they should feel proud of a performance that scored such a remarkable triumph. Flannelly of the senior laws has accepted a position in a Topeka law office. He will return for the exams. Invitations for the Phi Psi June party are out. Misses Donald, Cromwell, Allen, Mrs. Howard and Prof. Foote all of Atchison visited the U. last Saturday. French and German has been abolished in the E. E. course. Miss Anna Beardsley, an old student, was married recently. Krehbiel is the funny man in the Virgil class. Potter, Swank and Vestal are famous hired catchers. Plumer Vestal did the annual cemetery act for the Zool. class last week. Dan Spencer came down Mass. St, the other day looking like a tiller of the soil—he had been botanizing. Miss Mamie Monroe has returned from Aladama. No 34. Invitations are out for June parties of K. A. T. and K. K. G. Hill and Dale. Chancellor Snow has been quite ill for the last few days, but we are glad to hear that he is fast on the way to recovery. The Senior Class, of the Pharmacy School has issued invitations for its Commencement. W. H. Sears with his bow and arrow has taken a contract to furnish the Zool class with specimens. Eugene Sharim was visiting his Sigma Chi brothers last Tuesday. The junior laws have petitioned Prof. Greene to grant their examination a week earlier than the time set. Lost—A gold pin with an eagle engraved on it. The finder will please return to the editor of this paper. Miss Nellie Franklin has returned to Lawrence. Invitations are out for the Sigma Nu anniversary, June 5th. Quite a number of new books are being placed in position in the library. McCreight has been sick this week and did not attend his classes. Prof. Canfield posted an outline of the course in American history and civics on the bulletin board Tuesday. The K. S. U. club lacks a mascot. Applications are in order. No Jonahs need apply. Everybody is becoming most exquisitely lazy. Never mind commencement draws nigh and the pater at home will make you anxious for school again. The frats did not succeed in making any good combination for men on the chapel committee. Clarence Sears helped win encomiums for the Bells of Corneville by his singing. W. T. Edge distinguished himself by his dancing in the Bells. G. W. Culver spent last Sunday in Lawrence visiting his Beta brothers J. H. Nowlin took part in the Bells of Croneville as a coach driver, and the crack of his whip was heard above the surrounding din. Electric wires have been run into the chapel. A permanent visitor has come to the home of M. L. St. John—a girl baby. The instruments of the engineering department show that they are either never used or that Prof. Marvin and his students keep them in excellent order.
