K. U. 13, STATE NORMAL G.
The game of May 10 with the State Normal was a better game than the game with the C. of E., although K. U., with three men out of their positions, was badly crippled. Wagner did not pitch his game or the State Normal need not have scored. K. U. had batted the ball so much the day before that the men seemed to lose their eye when they went against Bradford. Bradford who did the pitching for the State Normal is about the poorest excuse for a pitcher that we have run against this season. He is one of these extremely funny men who make you laugh so hard when you go to the bat that if he were to put them over the plate you could do nothing more than make a two-bagger. He is wild and wooly, etc. If the management could only get him down here to pitch against us when the team is in shape he would have to be carried home. He made a crow hop every time that he delivered the ball, and if the umpire had not seen that we had the game without working for it he could have buckled Bradford down to such a degree that it would have been impossible for him to pitch.

The second game with the College of Emporia Saturday was the finest exhibition of base-ball ever given on McCook field. It was a stunner. The Emporia team came down with blood in their eyes, with Evans, their crack pitcher in the box, but K. U. was a little too fast for them, and they are still shy.
K. S. U. S. C. of E. 3.
The game was a brilliant one from the start to the finish and abounded in good plays. The fielding was sharp on both sides and the batting work was simply without a flaw. Lark Smith went in the box, after having pitched one game Wednesday and a part of one Thursday, and pitched as though he had rested for a month. He gets better the more he pitches. Hogaboom caught a very neat game. Evans and Parrington played the best ball for the visitors. Matteson and Alden did the best batting for K. U., Matteson getting a very pretty home run and Alden knocking out a couple of two-baggers.
Parrington came up first for the visitors and went out Matteson to Mitchell. Blackshire bunted a ball toward third and beat out, stole second and tried to go home on an angle by Evans but was caught at the plate. Gabriel knocked a "pop up" to Mitchell retiring the side.
Chamberlain failed to connect and after three attempts was thrown out at first as Parrington muffed the third strike. Matteson got a base on balls and stole second while Smith was striking out. Mitchell bunted and beat the ball out, Matteson going to third; Mitchell stole second, and it looked like a score, but "Ta-ra-ra boom" was wanting to put it over the fence, and Evans struck him out.
Smith gave Hover a base on balls and the giddy youth was so anxious to steal that he got caught between first and second. Matteson threw the next two men out.
Alden knocked a fly to Mason, Steinberger went out Gabriel to Mason and Parker fanned.
Smith threw H. Blackshire out at first and struck Parrington out. R. Blackshire made a hit and took third when Chamberlain gave Evans life at first. Things began to look a little blue for our boys, but Gabriel went out Matteson to Mitchell, and everybody breathed again.
It looked as though we were going to score in the third, little Hogaboom knocked out a dandy single and went to second on Chamberlain's sacrifice. Evans was afraid of Matt. and gave him a walk. Smith knocked Gabriel a fly. Mitchell got a hit and the bases were full, but Hogaboom was retired on a foul fly to first.
Rooke took first on Matteson's error. Hover went out on a fly. A doublé play. Mitchell to Alden retired the side.
K U. was tired of fooling so Alden cracked out his first two-bagger and came home on Sternberger's pretty tripple. Parker sacrificed to first as Sternberger scored. R. Hogeboom struck out, Chamberlain gave Mason another fly.
Emporia went out past Mason, Alden to Mitchell and H. Blackenshire and Parrington smote the air.
K. U. gets another in their half after Matteson strikes out and Smith goes out on a fly. Mitchell hits for two bases and comes in on H. Hogaboom's long hit to center. Alden makes the third by giving Mason another "pop up." Score, K. U. 3; C. of E. o.
Fun begins in the sixth. R. Blackenshire goes out to Alden. Evans gets a base on balls and Gabriel makes a hit and Evans goes to third. Hogaboom throws high to Smith as Gabriel is stealing second and the ball rolls out in the field. Matteson gets it and lands it against the fence, Evans and Gabriel both scoring. Rooke goes out, Alden to Mitchell and Parker throws Hover ont at first.
K. U. goes first three men up. Steinberger gets to third but is called out for running in before R. Hogaboom's fly was caught.
Emporia makes her last run in the seventh after Christian had gone out. Smith to Mitchell and Mason to Matteson. H. Blackenshire makes a hit and comes home when Chamberlain drops Parrington long hit to center.
Matteson breaks the tie by a beautiful drive to left for a home run. In the eighth hits by Alden, Parker, Chamberlain, Matteson, netted four runs, and the game was ours with runs to spare.
