ATHLETICS.
GOOD WORK
By K. U. won the second game with the McCooks. Not for one single moment did the soldiers know that they could be counted in. Our team jumped on them in the first and would not let them up until they yelled enough in the eighth. Every man did his duty. Kelsey caught a good game. Smith sent the balls over the pan with such velocity that the "big boys in blue" only got nine scattering hits.
Bath, who held K. U. down in such good shape the first game, did not seem at all difficult of solution in the second. He was batted freely and hard. Conly, who succeeded him in the sixth, did not fare any better. The boys had their eye and nothing could stop them.
The game started out briskly, Chamberlain knocked a hot one to Conly and took second. He took third while Kelsey was getting a walk. Jimmy stole second. Matteson knocked one by Hunter, scoring Chamberlain and Kelsey, but got caught trying to purloin second. Alden got a hit, Smith struck out, and Mitchell gave Sickles one. The McCooks were retired in the first three men up. After this there came a perfect fusilade of base-hits and runs on K. U.'s side of the score book.
The McCooks scored their two on the sixth, Hunter and Sickles both getting hits, and when these men were nicely settled Bath landed for a two-bagger, and they were done.

BASE HITS.
Were plentiful.
Archie is bad on dead balls.
Steinberger did good work at the bat.
Sickles is the best player with the McCooks.
Brown was badly "spiked" in the second inning.
The crowd wanted the boys to let the McCooks up.
Fieldcamp wanted to go home after the sixth inning.
There were a few more present than at the last game.
ST. JOSEPH TAKES TWO.
"You kids are too new; we won't do a think to yer," said O'Connor, captain of the St. Joseph team last Friday. We will take his word for it. We do not think they did do a thing to us.
The St. Joseph aggregation began to hit in the first and kept it up with a monotonous regularity until the end. K. U. hit their "star" pitcher in good shape, and at the bat nothing can be said; everything was done that could have been done. In fielding the team did not do itself justice, although hard luck was with us. Alden got hurt in the third, Wagner going to second. Kelsey was overcome by the heat in the fourth and had to exchange with Matteson. Smith gave up the ghost in the sixth and Matteson went in the box and H.
Hogaboom went behind the bat. This left one in-fielder in his position. No excuses are necessary, but nine runs were made in the last three innings, with only five hits off from Matteson. This sifting of players might have had some effect upon the playing of the team.
SCORE.

The second game was a better exhibition of base ball than the first.
The second game was a better exhibition of base ball than the first. The boys put up a good game, although at critical moments errors were made that were costly. The umpiring of the manager of the St. Joseph's was a feature of the game. He was hissed by the spectators several times for his bad decisions against K. U.
The features of the game were Chamberlain's great catch of a long fly in the sixth inning and the batting of Preston.
Wagner threw a nice steady game. He is to be congratulated for such good work against professional players.

PHI DELTA THEETA, 14; SIGMA NU, 5.
The second game scheduled in the Inter-Fraternity League was played last Saturday. The Pni Delts had things their own way from the start and won hands down.
Sears distinguished himself for the Sigma Nus, and Prof. Jones upheld the honors for the other side.
IN ALL PROBABILITY the local field day will be held Saturday, May 5th, in connection with the High School field meet, which is to be held on that date. It is thought by the Athletic Board that if the two were held together and a small admission fee charged that enough money may be had to defray the expenses of the different High School teams. We think that it would be better to have the meet at some future date. The ball team will not be here upon that date, and several of the best athletes are on the team.
NOTES.
Ottawa University defeated Baker in base ball. Alden received a bad sprain in last Friday's game. Ottawa University wants to play base ball with us. The people are still shy about attending ball games. Williamson is back but will not play ball this spring.
St. Joseph has the heaviest batting team in the Western Association.
St. Joseph cancelled their game with K.U. on account of financial difficulties.
The team plays in Ft. Leavenworth Saturday, and in Emporia Wednesday.
Kelly wants to bring an amateur company here and play for the benefit of the Athletic Association.
The Betas were badly crippled in their game with the Pai Pis by the absence of their "mascott" Spielman.
What about tennis courts? We are getting tired asking about them. What is the matter with the committee?
