-It is the general opinion here that much injustice was done Mr. Mays in debarring him from the second contest. He should have at least been given a chance to retrieve himself, even if our "favorite son" had been worsted.

The following letter was intercepted by a member of the Courier secret service. DEAR PA: Please send me draft for $25. As you insist on my sending in an itemized amount of my expenditures, I shall begin to-morrow to take lessons in book-keeping at the Lawrence Business College. It is the best place in the west to study plain and ornamental penmanship, and all sorts of book keeping. The Actual Business department and the instructions in telegraphy are valuable. Please remit by next mail.
Yours etc.
A stiff wind and cloudy sky threatened to spoil the game of base bail between the Wyandotte club and our boys last Saturday afternoon. But the fates were propitious, and the storm did not break till after the game. K. S. U. led off with two runs and Wyandotte answered with three. The next inning our boys took the lead and were never headed. The last inning opened with a score of 13 to 10 in favor of K. S. U. The boys came to the bat and pounded the ball till seven more were added to the score. Wyandotte came in disheartened, got two men on bases, when by a brilliant catch of Campbell, a double play was made, and another victim finished the game. Our nine played splendidly and evenly. All deserve praise. The following is the score:
