Ottawa Defeated Again.
One of the best games of the season was played at Ottawa last Monday before a large crowd. For five innings neither side scored. The boys in Crimson while finding no difficulty in hitting Ottawa's "imported" pitcher, found it hard to keep the ball on the ground. Beginning with the sixth, however, they began to bat and from that time on Ottawa realized "why it was" that they could not defeat K.U.
Ottawa scored two in the sixth, but failed to get a man across the plate in any other inning.
Wagner pitched an elegant game and Kelsey worked the other end of the battery in his best form. Gear made a "grand stand" catch in the seventh that made him the pride of the K.U. supporters Ludlum played his first game with the boys and played good ball. For Ottawa Davis and Sheldon played the best game.
The crowd was made up of a good many "haters of Lawrence" who wanted to whip the whole "blasted outfit" at the end of every inning. The following is the score:

The Senior Play.
To say that the Senior Play was a decided success would be stating it mildly, for the Seniors covered themselves with glory. "The Society in which One is Bored," is certainly a charming comedy. It was taken from the French by these enterprising Seniors, and adapted to the Kansas University stage—local hits being intermingled in an artistic manner. One of the first surprises of the evening was the programs. Of course the house furnished programs, but strange to say, there were bogus programs substituted and each person was given one of them. It is not known who manufactured the counterfeits, but it is the general opinion that it was the work of some juniors. They contained some very funny sayings and also some pretty libellous things. Some of the professors came in for a good rub. The cast was distorted. There was noise enough during the performance to make it sound like an oratoric contest at Topeka. It is a wonder that the Seniors could remember their lines, so persistent were the disturbances.
The acting and stage appearance of Misses Daisy Orton, Edith Haskell, Lucinda Smith, Matilda Hendrichs, Anna Banks, Francis Fellows, and Messrs. F. C. Bowker, C. A. Burney, W. L. Gardner and Jim Kelsey were very good. Although these people do not aspire to the stage, yet their work was satisfactory. John Edwards acted the part of the French butler in fine shape. He also had an excellent make-up. Maurice Alden took the part of the young married Frenchman in a creditable manner. His love scene was a trifie awkward, however. Harrington and E. T. Hackney made a good effort, but their parts did not give them great advantage for skill.
Sheffield Ingalls was the star of the even-
